Fowl "Whoo-Done-It" Flusters Sgt. Toomey

Yard residents witnessed a murder last night on the steps of Widener Library a little after 7 p.m. Sergeant Toomey, who was forced to stand by helpless during the killing, described the assasin as "a two-tone brown owl, about 14 inches tall, weighing around 10 pounds." His victim was an unidentified gray pigeon.

The owl, which Toomey said was "the most monstrous bird I've ever seen," was discovered clutching the inert body of the pigeon in its talons not far from the Chinese Memorial.
