Medford - Frldar Auguit 30. 1957 MEDFOHD (ORECOW) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN Brazen Hussy Named Penelope Wandering at La rge in Bronx B DOC omr.r. Uniltd Ptess Correspondent New York OrV A brazen hussy of a platypus with the classic name of Penelope and the gall of a herd of ring-tailed mon keys has been wandering at large in the Bronx for a month. A platypus is a little animal from Australia, with a platter where its puss ought to be. It also has been called, variously, a duckmole, a duckbill, ami a living fossil. ' Platypuses by nature are, as 14-Year-0ld Youth Stabs Girl Friend's Father in Bedrpom Lombard, 111. (in A 14-year-old toy with an "urge to commit murder" stabbed his girl friend's father to death to day and was trapped in his vic tim's death grip. Police said they found Clyde Walker, a slightly built youth, struggling beneath the fallen body of his 200-pound victim, Arthur Capitanelli, 37. , They were lying in a pool of blood in Capitanelli's bedroom. Police said . the , youth told them he "couldn't sleep" after returning from . a party and arose before dawn with "an urge to commit murder." Walked A Mile Walker told authorities he walked a mile and a half to the Capitanelli home, found the light on and the front door open. With a three-inch switchblade Bnife in his hand, police said the youth stole, into Capitanelli's bedroom. Capitanelli turned on the light and screamed when he saw' the teen-ager with knife in hand. "I didn't want to commit mur der after I entered the room," police quoted the youth, "but when he screamed I couldn't back out." - Police said Capitanelli was half way out of bed to meet his attacker when he was slash ed across the face and slabbed in .the chest at the base of the neck. Wife Is Nurse Capitanelli was assistant ad ministrator of Presbyterian hos pital in- Chicago. His wife, a nurse, was on duty. But their three children were home, and their son, Michael, 7, was asleep in the room with his" father when the killing oc curred. Two daughters, Connie, 13, and Gina, 10, were asleep in other rooms. Capitanelli's nephew, Joseph Lovallo of Mount Iron, Minn., heard the victim scream and rushed to the room to find him lying atop' his attacker. -? Lovallo called police. Police said Walker had taken Connie Capitanelli to a party Thursday night. Dead Line on Classified Ads: 520 p.m. for following day, except 10 a.m. for Monday; fcr Sunday, noon Saturday. the Scottish bard onge remarked of a field mouse, "sleekit, cow ering, timorous,, beasties." One of the definitions of sleekit is deceitful, and, believe me, that's the word for Penelope. I found out the hard way. Before vanishing from her Bronx Zoo home a month ago, Penelope let it get bruited about in public that she was not plea sured with the mating overtures of her platypussarian associate, a bloke named Cecil. The theory advanced after her departure was that she jumped zoo because she simply could not stand Cecil. Publicity Stung My opinion, considered and kneaded for a month" now, is that Penelope's skipping out had nothing to do with maladroit love-making.- It is clearly noth ing but a publicity stunt, de signed to call world attention to the plight of platypuses. She tried it once before a stunt, that is. That was in the summer of 1953, when she let it be known that she was expecting. She did everything but start knitting little things. She began eating enormously, devouring crayfish like crazy. She busied herself carrying twigs and straw and other nest makings into the winding tunnels of her mud bank burrow. Zoo attendants were certain there was a nestful of inside. This was big news to the world of zoos. No platypus ever had been born before outside Australia and Tasmania. It was a triumph for the Bronx. When, come November, no Tjabes came out, it was decided to go in and get them. ' This involved digging out the whole platypussary, a name the zoo had assigned to the Cecil Penelope home in a spasm of whimsy. During all of Nov. 5, 1953, a dark and blustery day, a platoon of us reporters stood shivering and watching workmen remove a whole mudbank. Bossed by several platypus experts, they dug slowly and carefully by hand and trowel into a maze of interlocking tunnels. The more dirt they removed. the tenser we all became. Final ly only one corner remained, then only two cubic feet, and then a man reached deep into a tunnel and pulled out a wrig gling little platypus. A great shout arose. Photographers flashed then pleaded .for one more. The a wise old zoo hand said: "looks like Penelope to me." It was. There was no nest. No young. She hadn't even laid an egg. But she had done one thing. She had put platypuses on the front page. And she had laid their plight on the world's doorstep. Their trouble is, they can't decide where, in nature, they're going what they want to be. They've got a bill like a duck, no teeth, dense fur like an animal, web bed feet; they lay eggs like a bird, swim like a fish, burrow in the ground like a mole, and have poison-gland heel horns like a dragon. Can't somebody, somewhere, make up their mind for them?
