POLICE DOG ON TRIAL
= For Killing Sheep :
WINS EXECUTION STAY

Jacob Gibble of the Sonoma County
Humane Society obtained tempor-
airy injunction postponing the exc
cution until Saturday midnight.
Indications were that Rex defense
would be based on claims of mistak-
en- identity. Mrs. ALA Valentine
on whose ranch the dog was born,
said she already had obtained from
AL Melhorn, Sonoma rancher and
chief complaining witness, an ad-
mission that his identification OF
Rex as the slayer of some of his rab-
bits may have been erroneous.
He isn't a killer" she declared.
Hes lost the vicious instincts of his
father. He has been a faithful and
gentle companion to my four-year-
cid daughter Nadine"
To this character testimony is
added an account of how Rex once
saved a small child from death be-
meath a speeding automobile by
dragging the youngster to safety at
the risk of his own life.

SANTA ROSA Cal, Jan. 81. UR)-
The wild saga of Rex and Tim hung
unfinished today with its final chap
ter to be played out in court.
Man-made laws which never could
have been comprehended by either
of the two magnificent German po-
lice dogs, Tim the father and Rex
the son, have consigned Rex to
death either by gunfire or lethal gas.
In the same manner, Tim once
was condemned as a mass murderer
whose primitive killer instincts over
came generations of civilized train
ing and domestic breeding.
But the same laws under which
Rex was taken to the Sonoma coun-
ty pound for execution won him
reprieve at least until Saturday mid
night.
Unconvinced by the evidence on
which Rex was sentenced to die al
legations that the five-year- old an
imal killed 90 sheep, at least two
calves and a number of rabbits,
