go away. No my dog"
 Under the questioning of Prose- cutor William H. sGibney the man ad- l mitted that the canine had been stay 1 ing at his home for nearly year. 1 It has been at his residence ever since Antonio Simeoni. who was a watchman at the old stone quarry. 1 left for Europe. It was recalled that l Simeoni had been arrested about year ago for not licensing the same ] dog S'
 j; Two of his friends were introduced 1 by him at witnesses. Both said that i Marcaratto was not the owner of the ! canine.
 As Judge Griswold was about to give his decision on the case, Macar- ! atto,s wife arose and said she wished to say something It took her about 5, fifteen minutes to say her few words. f She said that the dog came to her I house and ahugged" her until her 1 sympathies for the poor hungry ani-
 mai were so moved that she gave it I som ething to eat. Tn answer to a j question asked by Prosecutor Gib- ] ney if the dog had not been at her ] home for nearly a year she answered. i Beg your pardon, no, that's my l right hand,'' holding her hand up in ! the air. sThe dog used to come l around and .shug, me until give him supper" she said.
 l Asked if he had any more witness i es Macaratto offered to bring all his fellow employees to court. He said, .If you want I bring all quarry job here"
 Judge Griswold found the man 1 guilty and fined him s5 without costs, ] which he willingly paid up. I His wife became quite impertinent i before court was adjourned. She
 seemed to take the proceedings as a l joke and Prosecutor Gibney repri-
 fnanded her by saying that if she was < not careful she would be arrested for l contempt of court. With this warn ing her radiant smile suddenly disap- sI reared.
