There is at least one resident of
South Richmond to whom the Beattie
case is of no interest. who has never
been heard to discuss It," said one
man in Washington Ward several
days ago. when the residents. of that
district were discussing the possibil-
ity of getting a jury from that place.
The resident to whom this man re-
ferred. however. could not in any case
be considered for a jury. for he is no
other than Pat" the small monkey
owned BY Coroner j. W. Brodnax of
Seventh street. Just where DIR. Brod-
max obtained this animal is a mooted
question. The fact remains. however,
that interested citizens have at diff
ferent times observed Pat" in the
trees surrounding the house of the
cor ner and have paused to observe
his antics.
Pat" is an unusually bright mem
Der of his tribe. and in agility he sur
passes anything seen in South Rich
mond for some time. To scramble
from fence TO tree. then to run up
limb until he reaches the top OF
the tree is for him the work of but a
single moment There he sits for a
time. suddenly jumping into another
tree and scrambling down to the roof
OF the house or to the window of the
SUNNI r kitchen. in search OF sugar.
For. although silent upon this import
ant topic of discussion, Pat" consid-
ers himself an authority on the sub,
ject Of sugar. and will render an
opinion upo-. it at any time.
