CHIMPANZEE ARRESTED
As twenty workgirls came out of a dressmaker’s shop in the Kuo Boihjau, Paris, at midday, an arm encircled the waist of one of thorn. The girl protested indignantly. The 100-gallant intruder was well dressed in a frock coat, grey trousers, top hat, patent leather boots, and wore smart grey suede gloves. But lie was a hideous little person. Tito girls began making fun of him, when suddenly he caught hold of one and put his face rio.ss against hers. Sho boxed his ears, and ho drop (ted on all fours .and bit her log. Tho girls rushed off shrieking, and two policemen arrested (he aggressor. The creature was a chimpanzee (tho ‘Daily Express’ explains), the pel. of an explorer living near at hand. He was captured after a straggle, and carried oil by his master’s rook, who went to fetch him at tho police
station, where he had spent the night. An amusing item of the story is that the police magistrate got very angry with the monkey when lie was first brought in because lie refused to answer any questions, mid turned his back on the official table.
