In this case the dog, which was a very savage one, escaped twice
before being chloroformed and struggled very forcibly. He had
to be brought into the room with a tight rope and chain round
the neck and was muzzled with the leather muzzle. The respira-
tion ceased after 1m, 20s, ; the muzzle and rope were removed
