Huge Python Gives Up
After Heavy Fusillade

MANILA.--Mr. and Mrs. B. A..
Barrett hope to send their friends in
the United States presents made
from raw material picked up in the
yard Of their Manila home-skin of
a 10-foot python which they found
in their driveway one dark night.
The reptile was killed with the
assistance Of neighbor and eight
Manila policemen.
Relating the incident afterward,
Barrett said he spied the glistening
reptile stretched across his driveway
as he turned his car into it after
attending a party He said his first
impulse was to shut his eyes and
try to recall how many drinks he
had. Then he drove his car wheels
over the python, hoping to crush it.
This only aroused the snake.
Barrett summoned a policeman
who, after one look, telephoned for
reinforcements. Seven more patrol
men arrived and began shooting at
it without success. Finally the po-
lice '.iassoed" the reptile with wire
and left 1t hitched to post for the
night.
The next morning neighbor OF
the Barretts fred several shots into
the python's head and killed it.
