MONKEYS AT LARGE
RELEASED BY MISTAKE. SOME EXCITING ESCAPADES. LONDON, November 22. Thieves who looted a supposed hen- , roost at Netting Hill, west of Hyde Park, released 13 trained monkeys who play in a jazz band in a circus." After a week-end’s hectic freedom, nine have been recaptured, but three remain firmly entrenched beneath the platform ofi the Latimer road underground railway station. Franco, the leader of the jazz band, jumped on the roof of a departing train and disappeared. # Another, Jenny, descended a nearby chimney and alighted in a sitting room, covered with soot, just as a woman was carrying in her husband’s tea tray. The woman fainted and dropped the lot. ' A third monkey mounted a van and pelted the driver with bananas.
