VANISHING PARROT
ELUDES HIM AGAIN
Owner Proves One on the
Frieze Is Worth Two
in a Cage.

The chef d'nuvre of Otto Krug, up to
ment at 233 West Slxty-eighth street
and decided ne must have parrot. was
a reproduction in miniature of the Singer
Building, begun in 1901 and constructed
entirely Of burned matches. Every
match In it was a match with which he
had actually lighted an actual cigar
which at one time or another he had
actually smoked. Seventeen years of
toll and patience ana smoking, along
with the matches. went into the fabric
OF the masterpiece. When It was fin
ished last April he at last showed 1t to
his wife.
Very good" she said, but why do
it,"
The innocent question spoiled that day
for Krug but his good nature will last
as long as he does. The next week they
moved into the Sixty -eighth street fiat
and a glance at the dining room frieze
made Krug his old self again.
1t was In an involved scheme of South
American jungle foliage. enlivened with
monkeys and parrots. Krug realized
| instantly that IL he could procure a
| them in juxtaposition to the tropical
| frieze, his friends when they came to
| dine would realize the appositeness OF
| the idea and the brightest of table talk
would follow.
In the West Side Court yesterday his
wife offered no contradiction to his
| statement that the parrot must have
| broken out of its cage and escaped wher
1t disappeared from their home few
| weeks after he brought 1t there. He was
| in court as complainant against one AL
bert Heinzinger. in whose apartment
| window. he said. he had at last discov'
| cred the parrot after a search which had
| taken him into nearly every street ir
New York. As Helnzinger was not al
home that day Krug copied his name
from the letter box and had him sum
| moned to the West Side Court on &
charge of Withholding personal propert,
! unlawfully.
Mrs Krug was looking anywhere bu
| at the witness chair when Heinzinge
was sworn as a witness. After admit
ting he had had parrot most Of thu
time Krug had mourned the loss OF s
parrot. Heinzinger said It was impossible
for him to say whether or not the par
rot he had had was Krug's parrot, since
the parrot had flown away and was NJ

The proceedings were resumed after
court officer had admonlshed Mrs Kru,
that sudden. boisterous laughter was on
of place there.
And l have witness here" con
Guided Heinzinger. "to prove that I neve
saw the bird before the day II few in a
my window"
And his witness, Mrs. De Long. wa
permitted to testify that the only br
in that fiat house was her husband, Br
De Long.
As there could be no case withou
Identification OF the actual parrot Their
could be no recovery. and Krug left cour
empty handed. But on his way out h
told his wife that while he could perhap
replace the lost parrot he never coul
forgive Helnzinger for calling Mrs. D
Long as a witness.
"Of course this Bird De Long is nc
the bird that flew from our frieze. Sue
nonsense to call the woman to say
thing like that. The fellow has no sub
tlety at all"
