A;reJale tried in a San Francisco conrt on
the charge Of killing a Persian cat. Now,
notwithstanding the silly expense involved
in putting the quarrel through court for
malities and the fun afforded the onlook-
ers, it is to be remembered that Dormie's
life was at stake. The sole purpose of the
punishment of criminals in law is not to re-
trieve their crime, but to serve as a warning
to others. The execution of a dog can serve
no such purpose. Regardless Of the fate of
Dormie, the dogs of the land will persist in
their doggish ways and chase the cats. Again
Dorme's conviction would per Sc make thou
sands of other dogs subject to sentence. To
execute Dormie would be wanton murder
