DOCTOR HELD FOR
CRUELTY TO DOGS
Gil Testities That Machine
Was Used to Break Backs.

Philadelphia J. E. Sweet, as
sistant professor Of surgical research
of the medical department Of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, was held in
$500 bail for court here by Magistrate
Haggerty on charge made by the
Society For the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Animals. Cruelty to dogs In the
vivisectiOn and experimental labora-
tories of the university was alleged.
Miss Henrietta Ford Ogden, rich,
testified that every Friday for six
months she had crawled through a
hole in fence SO that she could gain
entrance to the kennels of the uni
verslty and obtain evidence. Miss Og-
den identified the back breaking ma
chine, which she alleged is used in
the laboratories to crush out the lives
Of dogs.
The machine is best described as a
diminutive gallows. A heavy iron
weight is operated on ropes and pull
leys so that 1t will descend with suf-
fcient force to break the backbone Of
any animal held beneath It.
Magistrate Haggerty at this point
said: I'VE realize the right Of the
university to perform necessary AMI
NAL experiments, but there is nothing
too severe for person who would de-
wise or use such an apparatus as this.
1t is almost incredible to believe that
a civilized human being would use an
apparatus Of this sort. 1t Is an In
fernal machine
Samuel s. Geyer. formerly in charge
Of the university kennels, said that
the members Of the faculty ordered
the surgeons to remove all evidences
of cruelty to animals when the leg1s-
lature was acting on the vivisectfon
bill. He declared that after the meas
ure was defeated and after the danger
