The Candian Pacific liner, EMPRESS OF SCOTLAND. Click on image to enlarge.


"A dispatch from Singapore says: The world-encircling tour of the Canadian Pacific liner, Empress of Scotland was punctuated by . . . the social adoption as ship's mascot of a baby leopard which was taken aboard at Darjeeling, India, by Miss Katherine Kinney, of Kew Gardens, Long Island. The little animal . . . has become the playful pet of the entire crew."

Quote from: "Miss Kinney of Kew Gardens Happy owner of Pet Leopard", The Richmond Hill Record, [a local newspaper] (Feb. 12, 1926).

Need your help

If you know where I can contact any of the witnesses to the 1964 murder of Kitty Genovese (if any are still alive), or if you know anyone who ever spoke to one of them about the case, can you email me?
