CRIED STOLEN POL PARROT 'Durn It, turn me loose: turn me loose. You black scoundrel.” Only It was something stronger than durn. This startling cry from a frightened and highly enraged parrot Tuesday morning shortly after * o'clock proved the undoing of William Henry Wil liams, better known among his asso ciates as "Buster" Williams, a ll-year- old negro boy of 91 Currier street. ■ In other words, the very sensible parrot talked the little negro Into a prison cell. The parrot, which belongs to Joe W. A wiry, of 418 North Jarjcson street, of the Knott A Awtry Shoe Company, attracted the covteous glance of Wil liam Henry Williams Tuesday morning and William Henry made an effort to steal l(. He would no doubt have been successful had It not been for the fart that the bird can talk about as well as William Ifenry and did not hesitate to raise the alarm. No sooner had the little negro placed his hands on Polly than the tetter heaped a choice lot of profanity on him and proceeded to cry usllly for help. Polly Fought Herd. Incidentally, the parrot defended It self as best It could, fighting Its as sailant and cutting him on the hand with Its sharp bill. The dries for help and the bite on the hand were too much for the would-be thief, decidedly more than he had an ticipated, and he quickly dropped the bird to the ground. Polly's profanity and shrieks were plainly heard In ths house, and, realis ing that something was wrong, Mrs. Awtry hurried to the front porch, froip which Pol had been stolen. She saw the negro boy a short distance from the house and the parrot walking about excitedly on the ground. A passer-by took In the situation at a glance end quickly caught William Henry, holding him until the police could be summoned to the scene. The boy was then taken to the police sta tion and Polly eraa rescued and re placed on Us perch on the porvb. At the police station the boy cried bitterly, as he wiped the blood from his bleeding hand. "Ths Parrot Cuseed Ms.” "That parrot cursed me," he walled. And then bit me, too. I didn’t think It could talk.” William Henry will be tried Wednes day morning before Recorder Broyles. It has not yet been decided whether the parrot will be served with a sub- pens to appear In court and testify against ths boy.
