DOG ATTACKS A GIRL.
Daughter of Rose Coghlan Viciously
Bitten by St Bernard.

New York, Dec 2S.-Rosalind, the 10
year old daughter Of Rose Coghlan, the
actress, was attacked by a st. Bernard
dog yesterday. One of her cheeks was
torn open and her jaw broken. The girl
lives with her grandmother, Mrs. A. NJ.
COghlan, at New Rochelle. The dos
was her constant companion. They
were playing together in the parlor,
when Rosalind leased him and he
sprang at her making his teeth meet in
her left cheek.
The child's screams brought the
grandmother, who found the dog, the
girl and the carpet covered with blood.
She telephOned for a physician, who put
seven stitches in ROsalind's face and
enveloped her head in a, plaster cast to
keep the broken ends of the jaWbone
in position.
The girl is not able to speak and has
to be fed through a silver tube. 1t is
feared that she will be disfgured for
life.
Miss Coghlan and her husband, John
T. Sullivan, were playing in 1.-The White
Heather at the Walnut Street theater.
Philadelphia.
When Miss CoghIan learned of the
condition of her Rosalind she tainted
and became hysterical. 1t is likely that
Rosalind will go for treatment to the
Pasteur institute and that the dog will
be sent there for examination and OBJ
servation. There are no symptoms Of
rabies.

IMPRISONMENT WITHOUT
TRIAL.

Referring to the imprisonment Of its
editor for contempt of court, the Boston
Traveller says:
Mr.. Torrey E. Wardner, the editor of
The Traveller. is confined in Dedham Jail
under thirty days sentence imposed by
Judge Sherman for alleged contempt of
court, because Of an article published in
The Traveller, Dec. Is, during the trial
OF Engineer Getcheu- In that article
criticism was made upon what appeared
70 be the attempt of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad to shirk re-
sponsibility for the accident that occur
req at Sharon on that road, and to
make Engineer Getchell suffer as the
6capegOat Of the road
Without discussing the merits of the
case, or entering into the question of
the justice or injustice Of the conviction
OF Daniel W. Getchell, there is involved
an this summary conviction and impris-
onment Of Mr.. Wardner a principle that
virtually concerns every American citi-
zen.
This proposition may be stated thus:
Shall an American citizen be entitled to
a fa1r trial by a jury OF his peers when
charged with an offense against the
laws, the penalty for which may be I'M
prtsonment, or deprivation Of liberty or
hfeY Shall free speech and the liberty
Of the press be terrorized by the menace

of courts empowered to impose severest
penalties for what they may be pleased
to term contempt, even though the Of
tense may be unWittingly committed not
in their presence nor so near thereto as
to obstruct the administration Of JUS
tice?
Courts are human, and while set for
the defense of justice, they may err, and
If empowered to arrest, try, convict and
sentence our citizens to Imprisonment
without trial by jury, or right. of appeal,
it is a serious menace to personal lib
erty, and may we'll cause every intelli
gent citizen, even in these bright Christ
mas days, to halt and give thought to
this momentous question.
We do not in this article reflect in the
least upon Judge Sherman. He has I'M
doubtedly followed his conscientious
convictions in this case, and 1t is to be
presumed that he has rightly inter-
preted the law, but if so, then the law
should be so modified that every citizen
of Massachusetts may honestly express
his opinion without fear of the loss of
his liberty until condemned, after
proper trial, before a jury made up of
twelve of his fellow citizens.
If this shall be the outcome of the
manly course adopted by Editor Ward
ner, all men will have reason to thank
him for his personal sacrifice.
