DIR, WOOLSEYS
HORSE TO APPEAR
IN POLICE COURT
1t Will Be Oakland's
Celebrated Case.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.


DR.. f. II. Woolseys horse has caused
social and legal revolution, and II bids
fair TO cause political one in the city OF
Oakland. 1t has cemented old friendships
that had been broken. II has broken old
alliances and made new ones. 1t will be
the cause of the most bitter legal battle
that has ever been fought in the city Of
Oakland. 1t may even cause a political
turnover, 50 great is the interest in this
case.
DR.. Woolsey will have TO appear in the
Police Court tomorrow to make his pre-
liminary plea to the charge made by
Agent Kennedy of the Society for the Pre-
Yention of Cruelty TO Animals that he did
not provide for his horse. That plea Will
be mot guilty" and then the case Will be
set for trial.
The horse will have 10 be brought into
court or as near the court as II is possible
to get the animal. Both DIR. Woolsey and
Agent Kennedy demand that the animal
be produced for the inspection of the
court. DR.. Woolsey will demand that the
horse be brought right before the court
for examination. and he says:
THAT horse will be the most important
witness L will have. 1 want him brought
right into court and to be given the stand
just as a regular witness. That horse has
been pet and l would not Ill treat him.
l am not afraid TO have him produced for
inspection before any court, and / will
have the greatest line OF expert and scten-
tific testimony in support OF my assertion.
/ will not let any one blackmail me into
Joining any society. 'Nusy' will fight that
case for me TO the last legal effort that
can be made, even II he did say things in
that Hodge-Nichols case. He was only
earning his fee. and now he is earning an
other one.
Agent Kennedy of the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals says:
This talk OF blackmail is preposterous.
/ received many complains from outsiders
that that horse had been permitted TO re-
main in an open lot without shelter and
without food for months, and l will not
permit a man who Ill treats a horse to go
unpunished. no matter what his standing
in the community"
So this arrest has healed the once
strained relations between DIR. Z. H
Woolsey and his old friend Judge Emil
Nusbaumer Their differences at the
Hodge Nichols trial have been settled and
one friendship has been renewed. DR..
Woolsey has determined to spend money
in support of his case. and he will produce
a lot Of expert witnesses from the race
track. He will have Walter Hackett, the
son OF the owner of Yellowtail. and many
others, and from the prominence of the
list that he is preparing II is evident that
the case will become a celebrated one
Some of the experts will be arrayed
against each other. and as the action will
be a bitter one it's echoes will be heard in
Oakland for many a day. The preliminary
rumblings are already apparent. and when
the storm breaks IL will be a thunderous
