Ewing gets
POLICE Dog
Pedigree of German Hound
Is Vouched for by Colonel
Slower
FIRST ACT is TO
RETRIEVE STOCKING

Frank Ewing. assistant to State
Detective Moore. Is the owner OF
handsome German police dog"
which arrived from Baltimore"
yesterday afternoon. There is no
question as to It pedigree as Col.
Weller E. stover says It IS one OF the
finest specimens OF it's kind he has
ever seen and doubtless has lots OF
pedigree.
Frank has long wished for a Ger
man police dog and when he saw the
advertisement OF a Baltimore dealer
a few days ago requested StenoEraph-
er Minor. OF the Attorney-Generals
Office to write the dealer and find
out what the dogs cost.
The answer came on Monday in
which the dealer" assured Frank
that he would send him a German
police dog free Of all costs, as he felt
sure the possession OF such a dog by
one OF the Wilmington detectives
would result in the safe here Of
others
Detective" Ewing promptly clos
ed the deal by "long distance tcle-
phone" and while the dealers voice
sounded very much IKE that OF De-
tective Moore, Frank suspected
nothing.
When the dog, a common mon
grel, arrived IN a box OF a size that
would accommodate about three
score dogs Of its size. there happen
ed 10 be IN the attorney-generals Of
fee, Attorney-General Townsend.
Captain OF Detectives. Benson, Reg
lister OF Chancery. Norman p.
Crouch. State Detective John Moore.
| Colonel Weller r. Stover. Clerk OF
! the Peace John L. Wright, William
/ r. Minor, Secretary 20 the Attor-
ney-General. and Edward Talley. a
clerk In Mr.. Wright's office, all OF
whom. Of course. happened TO be
there by accident" OF course they
{ knew nothing OF the coming Of the
"perp."
Ewing had a severe attack OF the
nerves" when he believed his fond
hopes for a genuine German police
dog had materiallzed. He was so
/ shakcy that Captain Benson had 20
open the box. The box once opened,
a search was started for the dog
which could barely be seen in It's
massive house"
At first he was somewhat disap-
/ pointed IN the animals appearance
but after being assured by Col. Stow
er that "all police dogs look like that
when they are young" Frank took
the pup to his home In Rockland.
He oversight himself this mornini
and in his hurry 20 get away is salt
to have put on his shoes minus one
stocking and failed TO notice his losi
until he had walked a considerably
distance down the pike. When h'
was standing In the middle OF th'
road trying TO decide whether III
had better 20 back and finish dress
ing. he saw a streak coming dowI
the pike. which proved TO be th'
dog carrying the missing stocklnl
in his mouth.
Frank says he has some doubt a.
20 that dogs pedigree but any pul
with as much sense as that anima
displayed this morning Is wortl
keeping.

ening the oil tanks OF the Whining
ton Gas Company and the lumber
yard OF the Harlan plant OF the
