AID. POWERS ON TRIAL
The Humane Society Seeks His Con-
viction for Cruelty to-
Dog.

Alderman Fred M. Powers was tried in
the municipal court this morning by q
jury of six men on charge of cruelty to
animals preferred by S. L. Van Elite
president Of the Humane society," It is al
legged that Mr.. Powers did not use the
surest and quickest methods in doing
away with a dog which had torn UP his
lawn, and that the animal was permitted
to suffer twelve hours.
Frank Mcdonald, for the state, testified
that he saw the defendant entice the dog
into clump Of bushes and a moment
later heard three heavy blows He en-
tered the bushes after Mr. Powers left
and found the dog still alive He told the
alderman that he thought he was a mean
man, but it did not seem to bother Mr..
Powers in the least. On his way to school
next day Mcdonald stopped to see if the
dog was still there and was surprised to
find it alive. A friend who accompanied
him notified Mr.. Powers, who summoned
an officer and asked him to investigate
and if the dog still lived to shoot it. The
Der was to the same effect
Mr. Powers corroborated the states
witnesses In the main and added that he
struck the dog in the head with a hammer
because he thought it was the most hui
name method of execution. He was con-
WINGED that the dog was dead before he
left. -f77, -.
Officer Cunningham who put the finish
ing touches on the execution said that
when he first saw the dog there was very
little sign of life He reluctantly adj
mitted that his Workmanship was 80
poor that it took five shots to kiln an ami
NAL which had been virtually dead for
twelve hours.
Dr. w. J. Metzger gave expert testi-
mony to the effect that no sensation could
exist in an animal after conclusion of
the brain had taken place. He judged
from the statement Of Mr. Powers that
the hammer sank into the dogs head
nearly two inches and said that no pain
could have existed after the first blow
