JAILED; HIS Wife

Man Who Kidnapped Zoo
Wildcat Is Arrested

DR.. Aubrey Gordon Miller, the
only man ever to kidnap an ocelot
wildcat to you-was free on $500
bond today on a charge Of non
support.
DR.. Miller was booked at police
headquarters last night on COM
plant Of his wife, Mrs. Joan Miller
who is said to be in New York
now.
SAID TO BE HEIR
Friends Of DR.. Miller, who lives
in the 1900 block Columbia Rd.
N. W., said he recently had in
herited a fortune of $4,000.
It was in the summer OF 1888
that DR.. Miller came into the lime
light. On hot Sunday afternoon
he visited a friend, a keeper at
the Zoo.
They consumed a quantity of
wildcat" whiskey-those were the
good old dry days of Maryland
rye, Virginia "cawn" and bath
tub gin, you may remember-he
admitted later in court, and de-
cided he wanted an animal for
q pet.
LOOK EN- OVER
The keeper took him around
and they discussed various ami
mails. The elephants they dis
carded as too large, the tigers as
too mean, the lions as a bit hefty.
Finally DR.. Miller decided the
ocelot would be just about right.
So they opened the cage and took
out the clawing, Snarling little
fellow.
And through Sunday traffic the
doctor drove, holding the animal
out Of the car window at arms
length and whooping:
"How'm doin'?"
He didn't do SO well. The claws
and teeth did their work, and
finally he went to a doctors Of
flee and was treated for deep
scratches and bites. Attempting
to quiet his "pet" he squeezed the
animal so hard that the ocelot
died.
POLICE ON TRAIL
Police who took up the trail
of the doctor after motorists re-
ported the strange sight finally
caught up with him and charged
him with intoxication and stealing
Government property.
Later DR.. Miller paid a $35 fine
and was placed on probation for
six months for kidnapping the
ocelot, and was placed on another
six months probation on the
drunk charge.
Several days atea. DR.. Miller
and his wife were arrested for
violation Of the District massage
law and both forfeited the bail
they had posted.

5 the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The bond
market showed little disposition to
branch out in either direction today,
with the majority of trading confined
to the carrier group where minor
losses predominated.
United States Governments were
quiet and mixed. Gains ranged from
1892 of point to 5/32, while losses
extended from 2/32 to 4/32, mainly in
longer term Treasury obligations.
Bonds of the Baltimore e. Ohio
and Chicago Rock Island & Pacific

point, while Rock Island General As
were up around y point. Other car

Among utilities and industrials In
ternational Hydro-E.ectric IS and

YU[E RUSH LIFTS
RETAIL VOLUMES
Sales Jump 10 to 80 Per
Cent Above Year Ago
During Week.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Retail trade,
stimulated by a last-minute rush of
shoppers for Christmas gifts. this
week jumped 1c to 80 per cent above
last week for the country as a whole,
Dun & Bradstreet reported today.
"On the final lap Of gift buying
shoppers jammed retail stores until
the Intervening closing hour" said
the credit agency. The unexpected
strength of the last-minute demand
brought to some merchants the largest
volume for the week on record.
Shifting from the earlier emphasis
on inexpensive merchandise, consum-
ers bought more high-priced luxury
articles than low-priced products of
a staple nature, even in those indus
trial districts where employment had
been curtailed. Sales of fur garments,
leWelry, silverware, pianos, luggage and
sports goods accumulated momentum
right up to Christmas Eve"
Retail sales for the Nation ran 2
to 10 per cent above the like 1896
week.
Retail buying in the East was 4 to
IA per cent above last year. in New
England up 2 to per cent, Middle
West 3 to 10 per cent, Northwest to
IL per cent, South 4 to 10 per cent,
Southwest to IL per cent and Pacific
Coast 3 to 8 per cent.
Chiefly because of unexpected
Christmas recorders, but partly because
of a trickling in of deferred general
buying, wholesale trade for the week
rose to Z per cent above last year.
Aroused to action by the firming
price structure in many branches -.
buyers who had been waiting for
further reductions started to release
long-postponed ordc-s this week." the
agency said.
