 was justified on account of the pup
 py's actions and ugliness. Also that another person would have given more severe punishment. He explained that
 the dog was his property contin-
 uaIly, and this day started to steal a cats meal when he threw a, stone that broke a saucer and hit the ami ma1 in the eye. Attorney J. Robert The arrest was made by Agents Alex ander Howell and W. D. Bishop, IT,, of the Connecticut Humane society.
