Kinney, Scratching and Screaching, Returns to Apthorp Sick of Linoleum Rugs and East Cambridge Landlady

Kinney, the Apthorp monkey who disappeared a week ago Saturday, returned to his winter apartments last night, tired of his diet of "The Book of Knowledge" and linoleum rugs on which he had been living in an East Cambridge boarding house. At eight o'clock yesterday evening a taxicab, with closed doors, stopped before the Crimson Building while the driver and three owners coaxed, ordered and finally forced the evasive guest into a box preparatory to removing him to his old quarters.

On Saturday afternoon a person who refused to give his name announced over the phone that he had seen the advertisement and item in the CRIMSON stating that the monkey had disappeared. A found add, had been printed in the "Boston Advertiser" and the speaker suggested that the owners get in touch immediately with Mrs. Burolk of 106 Ellery Street, Cambridge.

Accordingly they rushed to the address and were met by an indignant landlady who announced that she had found the animal a week ago Sunday teasing her cat in the back yard. In the mean time he had torn up a $25 pocketbook, a linoleum rug, and had slept in the puffed rice. The board she said would be $25.

As the monkey only cost $35, the owners hurried to the Cambridge police station to protest against the illegal rent. A policeman accompanied the plaintiffs to the boarding house and after examining the evidence fixed the damages at $10. Reluctantly she announced that they could phone later and she would consult her husband, but on Sunday Central said that the number had been disconnected. Yesterday, however, Mrs. Buralk telephoned the owners and admitted that she will have to give in. The house was in a mess and Kinney had devoured "The Book of Knowledge."

When interviewed for the CRIMSON yesterday Kinney was too busy scratching to make any definite statements but implied that the does did not come from the cat and flew into a rage when the name of his recent landlady was mentioned.
