IHIRD TALK" is usually as
ISOLATED with the fiib-
- bertigibbet type of female
known the world over. Her self
conscious antics have been Carl
catured by artists and actors, in
illustrations, movies and plays.
But what is believed TO be the
first case on record Of actual
bird talk came TO light recently
in a magistrates court in Jujuy,
in Argentina, with the arrest of
"A man who has mastered not
only the language Of the Eng
lish sparrow and starting, but
who also could converse freely
with redbirds, robins and pr
geons.
Saehe Passao, a vagrant who
was picked up by police after his
peculiar behavior in the Plaza
des Armas, said he learned the
whistling and tweet-tweet voeab-
ularies of feathered creatures in
a dream in Rio many years ago.
He was caressing the feathers
of a dove when arrested.
Not only the judge, but every
one else in the courtroom, con-
sidered Sache a victim of hallu-
cinations, but he so vehemently
defended himself that the
amused magistrate gave him an
opportunity TO prove his claims.
Smiling, the judge asked the pris-
oner:
How can you substantiate
your claim that you can talk
to and understand birds ?"
Get me a pigeon and III show
YOU" Sache replied.
"All right" said the judge,
well take you up on it."

few moments Angelica flew back
through the window from which
she had flown. fluttered to rest
on the shoulder of the bird
talk" man and began to COO
rapidly.
Sache interrupted frequently
with strange sounds as though
he was in earnest conversation
with the bird.
"Angelica's been to the park"
he said TO the court. "She saw
four policemen violating orders
by sitting on benches, six work
men digging a trench for water
pipes on the north side Of the
park, and also was impressed by
the fact that there were more
crumbs than usual near the
Fountain Of Nymphs. She wants
to get back there as soon as pos
sible before the other birds eat
them all up"
well, I'll be :" exclaimed
the Judge, and commanded an
officer to go to the park, investi-
gate the story, arrest the police
men If they were really violating
the law, check up on the crumb
and workmen story and hurry
back
His report verified every detail
of Sache's story. The policemen
were fined a days pay; the six
workmen really were digging a
trench at the very spot where
Angelica reported and a kindly
old bird lover was scattering
crumbs.
The magistrate gave Sache the
50-peso present and dismissed the
charge of vagrancy against him.
AS Sache left the courtroom
the pigeon started twittering
rapidly.
Excuse me, Judge" Sache
said, "she wants to talk with me
privately"
The pigeon, with her bill al
most in Sache's ear, apparently
cooed in whispers. Sache an
swered the bird.
What were you talking
about?" the judge asked, curl.
ously.
I'm afraid I can't tell you"
Sache replied. angelica
wouldn't like to have 1t re-
peated."
Il command you to withhold
nothing" the judge ordered
sternly.
We'll, if it's that way" Sache
said, Il guess I'll have to tell
you. Angelica just remarked
that the judge certainly has a
big wart on his nose"
His honor laughed heartily
with the spectators and gently
rubbed the growth on his pro-
DOSclS.
AS Sache was released the
curious Jujuy residents gathered
around him and he explained that
there is as much difference be-
tween the talking" of a spar
row and crow, for instance, as
between Greek and Hindustani.
When the judges superiors in
ncuman heard the story of the
bird talk trial they considered
removing him from the bench.
However, psychiatrists volun-
teered the theory that the people
in the courtroom that day, in
Guiding even the judge, might
have been unsuspecting victims

And this was how, for the first
time in the history of South
American Jurisprudence, bird
talk actually was interpreted"
in a courtroom.
A clerk was sent out to catch
a pigeon, which was brought in,
fluttering wildly, and placed in
Sache's hands The spectators
leaned forward eagerly and they
did not have to wait long. The
frightened pigeon quieted down
after just one peep from Sache,
and perched contentedly on his
shoulder.
See" Sache cried. trium-
phantly. "the pigeon understood
me and is not afraid" And it
certainly looked as if he was
right.
That could be a coincidence"
/ the magistrate said
well, what moro do you
want ?" Sache asked
Tell the pigeon. for instance,
to fly down and light on your
wrist" the judge commanded
Sache whistled several sharp,
high notes and the bird spread
its wings and made a short. set
Ting flight to the outstretched
wrist of the vagrant-
The judge and spectators rose
to their feet in considerable ex-
element.
"Carramba!" exclaimed the
judge. Am 1 dreaming? What
more can you have the pigeon
do?"
Anything" Sache replied
We'll, put him through his
PAGES"
This was what Sache had
wanted. He gave a series of
peeps, tweets and whistles which
he made by forming his mouth
into tight bow, placing his
tongue between his teeth and
blowing long or short puffs
which he controlled and modu-
lated with amazing skill
The pigeon, fluttering excit-
eddy, kept its perch on Sache's
wrists.
First" Sache said, iii have
the bird fly in three circles
around the courtroom, then have
her fly out the window, look over
the park, then come back and
tell what she saw. You can then
verify it. If I keep my promise,
will you free me?"
Not only that" answered the
Judge, but I'll give you so pesos
and send you on your way with
my congratulations
Sache this time uttered
series of piercing whistles, and
the pigeon took off, flew thrice
around the courtroom, ana then
out the window.
I've sent Angelica to the
park. She'll find out what is
going on there and she'll come
back and tell me-" Sache an
nounced.
who on earth is Angelica p"
asked the judge.
That's the pigeons name"
Sache replied. She told me just
before she left"
There was a roar of laughter
and the judges face turned red.
His honor wasn't so sure that
the dignity of his high office
wasn't suffering.
