MONKEY RUNS Wild
AND CLUBS COPS

NEW YORK, June 29.-Some sort of
bug on the left ear OF little
monkey in the bird and animal store
OF George II. Holden, at Fifth ave-
nue. last night, and before the ex-
citement was over the monkey had
upset all the goldfish bowls. released
all the birds and white mice and gray
mice and white rabbits and Belgian
hares, killed two canaries, whipped
the daylights out OF three belligerent
parrots, whanged a policeman over
the head with his own club. tied up
traffic in Fifth avenue for half an
hour, drew to the scene more than
1000 interested pedestrians. all the
traffic policemen within five blocks
and three special cops from the West
Thirtieth street police station. And
the monkey is about two feet high
and answers to the name of Roscoe.
The first overland swipe that Ros-
coe. peevish from the heat and mys-
teriously out of his cage. made failed
to dislodge the insect, but 1t upset
bowl Of goldfish. Another bowl OF
goldfish attracted his attention and
he jumped upon it and rocked it until
1t upset.
Casting about for more worlds to
conquer. Roscoe's eyes lighted upon q
cage OF rabbits. He opened the cage
and let them out Then he decided to
let the birds share his freedom, and
he went from cage to cage releasing
them, and the cages he couldn't open
he turned upside down. 1t was during
this freeing of the slaves that Roscoe
killed two canary birds.
Three parrots were in the window,
talking away like old cronies. Roscoe
yanked out a handful Of tail feathers,
and the bird clawed him in the ear.
Then the fight was on, Roscoe against
the three parrots. One of the birds
got foothold on Roscoe's tail and
clung there, scratching and biting,
in spite Of everything the monkey
could do.
Two men stopped to watch at the
beginning of the fight, but five min
utes later Roscoe and the parrots
were playing to an audience that
overflowed the sidewalk and spread
far into the street.
The police sent Patrolmen Bierne,
O'Brien and Mulvaney to capture Ros-
coe. They couldn't get into the place,
so 'Brien decided to climb through
the transom. With bird clinging to
his tail Roscoe leaped to the head
Of the policeman and began pulling
his hair and hammering the cop with
his small fists. Then he 3erked
O'Brien club from his hand and
whanged the policeman over the head
with it, He wasn't strong enough to
do 1t again, however, and the club
fell to the floor.
OBrien finally crawled out of the
transom into the room, and Roscoe
ran chattering and screaming into
corner. 'Brien let Mulvaney and
Bierne into the room, and they fl
nally captured Roscoe after consid-
erable trouble and locked him in his
cage.

we were at the track the day IL
happened. Father was his usual self,
mixing about In the crowd and In

somebody told him about the murder.
"He bought an afternoon paper as
quickly as he could and then read
the details. After that he didn't care
any more about what was going on at

fully. As soon as the word got around
every one started talking about II,
for Mr.. Elwell was we'll known In
racing circles.
las far as father is concerned he
knew nothing more about II than
what appeared In the newspapers. i
don't really see what more they could
want of him, for he has already told
everything he knows. A man who
said he was District Attorney was
here Saturday and questioned the
maid.
THE papers say that someone tried
to get our house on the wire from the
Elwell home at 2:3o OF the morning
the murder happened. / don't believe
that. The telephone is in the room
next to mine, and II II had rung i
surely would have heard II. And be-
sides, father would have answered IT.

Father was home all during the
night. and at 8 O'Clock in the morn

station in the car"
Miss Pendleton said ElwelI had not
| visited her father in his home since
last summer. although they were still
good friends. The father, 1t was said,
