Fate Of Elmer Snyder's Canine Hangs
on Unique Demonstration.

Elmer Synder's dog will appear in
Judge Connollys court. Wednesday
morning. In a last supreme effort TO
stay the sentence of death the court
threatens to pronounce upon II. The
dog was accused of biting Louis Vert
heimer. 12-year-old boy, who then
entered a complaint against Snyder.
The owner insists that the dog Is gen.
tie as lamb, allowing children to pull
its tail and maui its puppies without
protest. though 1t does object TO being
kicked.
Your honor" said Snyder TO Judge
Connolly, Tuesday, IN bring that dog
into court tomorrow. and you can have
bunch OF strange newsboys In here
to pull its tail and maui Ii around, and
I'll guarantee that the dog won't bite
AS long as they don't kick her, she
won't hurt them. That dog Is valuable
to me. Judge. I'm promoter, and
use the dog for advertising purposes
corn cures, and things like that.
Judge Connolly had announced his
intention OF making Snyder pay 500
fine or deliver the dog to the police
but he withheld Judgment pending the
demonstration.
