HEADLE5S ROOSTER,
But STILL ALIVE, IS
TAKEN INTO COURT

LOS ANGELES, April 8-lR-The
legal fuss over Lazarus the Rooster
is SO thick it would make his head
swim--if he had a head.
Lazarus, alias Butch, has been
moved to a pet hospital pending
court action from several direc-
tons.
Mrs. Martha Green, who bought
the rooster, sans head, April and
then found it was still alive and
growing, charged yesterday that
the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals took Lazarus
from her home without her consent.
She sued the society and the pet
hospital for $4,000 unless the bird
is returned forthwith.
The SPCA, however, commended it
was acting in conformity with an
order by Justice Stanley Moffatt.
The same jurist, acting on the
SPCA's complaint, has ordered DR..
Alan Ross, veterinarian, to appear
Saturday and explain why Lazarus
should not be put to death.
DR.. Ross had been advising Mrs
Green and helping to keep the
rooster alive by milk and mush
feelings with an eye-dropper.
Lazarus, he contends, may be valu-
able for research.
