THE Dogs TESTIMONY
CONVICTED HIM
(Our Dumb Animals)

An interesting story came to our
desk last month telling of Pitts
burgh judge who found a defendant
guilty largely on the testimony of
a dog. So many newspaper articles
about animals are without founda-
ton III fact that we wrote to the
judge himself to learn the truth of
the clipping. The story was that
little girl, Florence Booming. was at
tackled by a peddler, one John
Made. She was alone in the house.
A pet collie dog attcked the assail
ant and so allowed the child to
escape and seek refuge at a neigh
boris The man was afterwards ar
restel and brought into court. AS
the child was the only human wit
ness against him the dog was sum-
moned into court. The dog immed-
lately sprang at Made and was
with great difficulty prevented from
doing him serious injury. The judge
decided that the corroborative evil
dence of the dog left no doubt of the
man'e guilt We publish the letter
to us from Judge Dillon:
Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. l, 1915.
In reply to yours of the cath of
November, referring to the trial be-
fore me, in which a little girl by
the name of Florence Booming was
attacked by a peddler, one John
Made, and was saved from her as
sailaDt by pet collie dog, and ask
ing if it were true that when the
dog was admitted into the court
room 1t Immediately sprang for
Made, the dogs attack upon this
offender being taken as satisfactory
ground that Made was guilty of the
assault; l wish to verify this story
and say that the newspapers used
correct account of the happenings.
Yours sincerely

Police Magistrate.

WANTS TO PUT FUTRELLE
IN PRIVATE SANITARIUM

Moultrie, Ca, Jan. Since the
publication of the story telling of
the pathetic plight of Will Futrelle.
brother of Jacques Futrelle, the
author, who is out at the county
farm victim of the white plague.
his case has attracted wide atten-
ton.
At the request of the governor of
Massachusetts,, Governor Harris. of
GEORGIA, asked the local authorities
concerning the unfortunate man.
The Massachusetts governor wanted
to know if Futrelle was able to be
moved to a private sanitarium and
he also inquired as to the cost of
such a step.
The physician in charge of the
sick mans case stated that it would
be at least two weeks before it would
be safe to move him and Sid that
at present he was comfortably To-
Gated. Governor Harris was told
to convey this information to the
chief executive of Massachusetts.
Jacques Futrelle was a resident of
Boston at the time of his tragic
death on the Titanic and this fact
probably had something to do with
the solicitation regarding his broth
er.
Many other inquiries have also
been received concerning Mr.. Fut-
relle.
Moultrie people have been espec-
tally kind to the hoselessly i'll man
who found an asylum here after
many weeks Of suffering and want.

that will give every county in the
Stat an opportunity to hear the
men who seek their votes. OF special
Importance was the resolution re-
quiring voters in the primary to
qualify as Democrats before voting,
in order that the primary may reg
lister the will of Democrats alone
As was expected, the committee
strongly endorsed President Wilson
and his administration and urged
his denomination. There were thir.
ty-four members of the committee
present and 1t seems to have been a
most harmonious session.
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-01-07

Colonel Bob McNamee is "asin"
Woodrow Wilson and has hoisted
the flag of Champ Clark as his can
didate for president, in his Jackson
willie paper, Dixie. Champ will prob
ably have a small following in the
St. Louis convention, but he has no
more prospect of defeating Wilson
for the nomination than Jim Jeffries
has Of coming back" and knocking
out Jess willard for the heavy
weight championship. We can and
will win with Woodrow, but with
Champ the chances would be heavily
against us.
