Woman Owner Admits Pet Dog
Has Grudqe Aquinst Policemen

A dog with a marked grudge
against policemen and the scout
cars they drive was the center Of a
Municipal Court trial in which its
mistress was convicted of permitting
it to run without leash.
Mrs. H. c. Fitzpatrick, housewife,
did not hesitate admitting her
pooch, toy shepherd named Shep,
got loose and chased a scout car
down the street in front of her home
in the 4100 block of Forty-second
street NV. But, she added, she
didn't know how she could make
Shep stop.
HE has some bad habits, and
chasing cars is one of them," she
told Judge Almond w. Scott. HE
chased every car he could when I
first got him from the Animal
Rescue League, but he has over
come that trouble to some extent
since. Now he only runs after police
cars"
Mrs. Fitzpatrick said she had con-
ferred with the league for advice on
handling Shops maladjustment but
had received little help. In answer
to Prosecutor Robert Kneipp's query
whether reports were true that she
had consulted a dog psychiatrist,"
Mrs. Fitzpatrick said she had not
gone that far yet"
Although police said they had to
keep "one eye on the dog and one

NEW YORK, April o.-The md
ing Of Langley Coliyer's body amid
the nth ana squalor of the once
fashionable home he shared with his
blind brother, Homer, left the Coll
yer legend just about finished today.
There will be an autopsy to de-
termine the cause Of death-but
police held little doubt the 61-year-
old recluse. whose rat-gnawed body
was found late yesterday, had been
the victim OF one OF his own BOBBY
traps, rigged to tumble heavy junk
on an intruder.
Still uncertain was the source Of q
telephone message to police that led
to the finding Of the body Of Homer
Collyer, 65, in the house March 81.
Police found Homer, the one-time
admiralty lawyer, In q front room
OF the second floor of the three-story
brownstone house, near window.
It was the same room in which
Langley died-possibly while taking
food to the blind brother. Police
were inclined to dismiss q report
that Langley had been seen alive
the day before Homer was found
dead.
Junk Being Removed.
Between the times Of the two
macabre discoveries, 100 tons OF
junk, filth and oddities had been
removed from the house. Police
began the Job, which later was
taken over by the Public Admin
istrator's Office.
Langley's body was wedged be-
tween a wooden dresser and iron
bookcase which evidently had sup
ported the heavy debris that had
fallen on the body.
'This only bears out what the
police thought all along-that
Collyer was caught as the victim Of
one of his own BOBBY traps" Police
Commissioner Arthur w. Wallander
said.
A rat described by q detective as
''big as a rabbit" ran away when
the body was uncovered.
Homer had died only 9 feet away
partly from malnutrition.
The Collyer brothers were reared
in q prosperous, old and cultivated
family, the sons of DR.. Herman
Livingston Collyer, q gynecologist
who died In 1928, and Mrs. Susie
Gage Collyer, who died In 1929.
About that time the brothers began
to shun society, never giving any
fuller explanation than that they
preferred to live alone.
IA Pianos Found.
The finding Of IA pianos In the
cluttered house indicated that In
early years the brothers were not
miserly with their fortune, recently
valued by the family attorney, John
r. McMullen, at around 500, 900.
Rather they sought only seclusion
and safety behind the boarded up
windows Of the house on upper Fifth
avenue.
In later years, however, Langley
was said to have walked miles to
find a bargain on his nocturnal
prowlings for food for himself and
Homer, who became blind in 1888.
Much Of the trash which filled the
house was brought back by Langley
from these missions. Some Of it was
left over from their childhood, from
the time when Homer studied law at

SHAMRO(KS KEEP LEAD
 IN HOCKEY
(By The Associated Press


 The San Francisco Shamrocks, who edged into a one-point lead of the tight Southern Division of the Pacific Coast hockey league last week, have a chance to strengthen their position tonight.
 The Shamrocks travel to Fresno for a game that can give the Bay area club strong hold on the Division leadership-or can re- turn the Falcons to the top spot they previously held.
 Only six points separate the top from the bottom of the closely con- tended Southern Division, with San Diego and Oakland tied for the basement with 24 each and Los Angeles third with 28 behind San Francisco, 30, and Fresno, 29.
 In the Northern Division, dom- mated by the Seattle Ironmen with A points, the spread is 29 points down to New Westminster's 15.
 New Westminster goes to Van couver tonight and to Portland on Thursday. Should the Royals win both contests they could climb out of the cellar for the first time this year.
