Newspaper Page TextO 0 O O Mailorder Alligator Proves Too Much; Law Officers Are Called Monrovia, Calif. (UPD Mrs. Carol Benedictus' new mail order "pet" alligator was more than a little perturbed. The 18-inch reptile had been confined in a 3-by-6 inch box in a Postal trin frnm Kfiv Orleans to this Los Angeles suburb. When Mrs. Benedictus opened the package Monday she received anything but a cordial greeting. The 'gator sprang out, jaws clacking. "He snapped at me - you know, getting up on his legs in a defensive position," said Mrs. Benedictus. "I tried to corner him with a larger box, but I couldn't. "It finally chased me up on top of a table." Mrs. Benedictus bided her time. When she thought she could make it to the telephone without being nibbled at by the alligator, she jumped from the table top and called sher iff's deputies. Intrepid deputies soon cor raled the 'gator and placed it in a large pan containing some water. The alligator quickly stretched out and went to sleep. But Mrs. Benedictus' day of surprises wesn't over yet. When she had given the mail order firm $6 during a recent trip to New Orleans to send her the reptile, she thought the firm would place in the box whatever change she had M. B. LEONARD, SR.
