~ unanimously and extensively in
ne Cook county court records. The
anal entry was made recently by Judge
Tutbill at a special holiday session in
the Circuit court.
To begin at the beginning immedi-
stely after Willie had been attacked
nv the dog Charles Albrecht was
charged with being the owner of the
animal and was sued for damages in
tho municipal court. Despite his de-
NAL of ownership Mr.. Albrecht, after
trial of three days, was assessed
s75 damages and costs of $23.50. Mr..
AIbrecht paid the bill near the date
~ the first anniversary of the dog bite.

Mr. Albrecht began to check up the
100 pages Of testimony in the case and
declared that Mrs. Mary Herzog, moth

because she had sworn that Willie was

and Mr.. Albrechts inquiry indicates
he was in school all the time.
Mr.. Albrecht visited the states at
torney. After some consideration a
high salaried assistant decided there
was ground for perjury prosecution
and sent the case to the municipal
court.
A highly paid judge. an assistant
prosecutor and a clerk turned their at
tention to the matter and after due
time a warrant was issued for Mrs.
Herzog. She was arrested, q hearing
was had and Mrs. Herzog was dis
charged.
Round Three Begins.
Mrs. HerzOg then started round
three by beginning suit against Mr..
Albrecht, charging malicious prosecu-
ton. There were more judges seen,
more papers served and more motions
heard. There were delays and con-
tinuances until one day recently when
the case went to trial. A jury was
sworn and numerous witnesses heard.
