since deceased, but then the proper.
ty of Lou Gardner, a negress who is
more or less famous because Of the
quantity of Illicit liquor she has re-
tailed, and the number of fines as
sessed against her in the police court.
1t was not denied by the defendant
that the monkey In question assault
ed the plaintiff, and that he was
guilty Of unmanly and ungentlemenly
conduct, but attorneys lor Lou Garner
viciferously insisted that she was in
no wise personally responsible for
the manners and habits of the simian.
Besides she succeeded in proving
that the aforesaid monkey was not in
the habit of biting people on the
ankle, or any other part Of their
anatomy, and that he must have been
excessively provoked in that I'm
stance.
II was also shown that the incision
on Sara Wright's ankle was inflicted
during free-for-all fight in Lou Gar
ner's domicile, and the court was
asked to adopt the logical presump-
ton that the monkey regarded him
self as legitimate participant in the
meles, especially as he had been kick
ed and cuffed about during the pre-
liminary bouts that eventuated in a
police raid, and all OF the partici-
pants being carried off to Jail.
Lou Gardner also offered evidence
to prove that the aforesaid monkey
was not naturally a vicious animal;
that under ordinary conditions he was
of quite and undemonstrative man
ners, and the only physical encounter
in which he was known to have en-
gagged up to that time was with a
poodle dog that had made faces at.
him. The poodle after a brief en-
! counter stood not on the order of his
going, but went at once, and has not
since been seen in that neighbor-
hood.
Judge Henry expressed a great
yearning to see the monkey and
judge for himself as to its temper
ment, but was sorrowfully informed
that the simiam departed from his
life some time since, demise being
due to an unknown disease. He there.
fore gave the monkey the benefit of
the doubt, and gave the jury a pre-
emptory instruction to find for the
defendant.
