ENGINEER NOT REQUIRED TO
STOP TRAIN TO SAVE DOG

Macon, Ca. June ga locomotive
engineer is not required to stop his
train 10 save a dog. If it appears to
him that the dog is in good health and
a capable sprinter. That was Judge
Sheltons decision In directing a YER
dict for the defendant, in the case OF
DR.. G. A Cohen. against railroad
company in the circuit court here.
DR.. Cohen sued for $500 because his
fox hound was run over and killed by
the defendants train In 1906. The evil
dence showed that the dog had start
ed down the track ahead of the train,
and that when 1t saw the train com
ing behind it increased its speed.
The court held that that was evi-
dencc of enough intelligence to war
rant the engineer In believing the dog
would get off the track.

DR.. CLEMINSON
TAKES STAND

Chicago. Nov. 16.-Dr. Haldane
Cleminson took the witness stand today
in an attempt to refute the charges that
he murdered his wife.
He was pale, but composed. The de-
fendant was preceded as witness by
his mother. Mrs. Isaiah Cleminson. Her
eyes were generally on her son. save
when some Of the questions brought
bushes to her cheeks and her eyes
dropped. She denied telling any one
that the way DIR. Cleminson treated
his wife was shameful, or that the race
suicide theory had been upheld by her
in her sons home.
Cleminson's first testimony was to
the effect that he was 27 years old,
was born at Dubuque, Ia, and that in
190405 he studied medicine in the
day time and earned living at night
as clerk in an express Office. Glenn
inson declared that after the birth OF
his first child, Haldane. Mrs. Glenn
insons health was fraiI. He again told
the story Of hew he thought his wife
committed suicide and wondered how
he could hide the shame, telling it was
the deed OF burglars.
