BUT HE DIDN’T BITE!
Dog Escapes Death Penalty~—Old English
Law Upholds Right to Bark ‘
MONTCLAIR. N. J.. Aug. 14.—
Tho old English common law. for
gensrdtions cherished'as a code for
the conduct of m.,now rise! a
dogdom’s friend. .
Whereas the popular quotation
has had it that “a dog's bark may
be worse than his bite."rtbe fine old
code contends that he may bark as
he pleases so long as he does not
bite. The mere pursuit of a neigh-
borly Persian cat or the settlement
of a slight controversy with an ob-
trusive terrier is insufficient grounds
for the death penalty.
Wherefore Vichy. police dog with
,3- proud record ior valor on the Bel-
‘gian front. once more may lope
through the grounds of his wealthy
master. Byron Hanks.
Like Dormie. San Francisco air-
dale who set the precedent for dog-
dom ,by going on trial for his life.
Vichy found himsdlf in the shadow
of the lethal cage ,which New Jersey
uses for canine capital punishment.
Like Dormlo. Vichy went formally
on trial before City Recorder Trim-
ble. his life at stake.
And. like Dorinic. Vichy was ac-
quitted and hung up a precedent
which will come in handy for dogs
that. in the future. wish to save
their tall. as it were.
Even had the old English law
been overlooked, Vichy still might
have hoped for another chance be—
cause of his war record. From his
collar tinkles a little medal that
speaks for narrow escapes on the
humans and of valiant Red Cross
work. .....
When the WA: ended Hanks sent
“do! to the countriwstate.
'_Now there trots about a. neighbor-
ing country place another dog which
while probably less distinguished. is
held in equal affection by its mis-
tress. Mrs. Mary E. Waring. The
mere sight of the neighboring purp
stiricd some slumbcring blood lust
in the. blood of Vichy. A mere hesi-
tant luirlt from over the fence was
a challenge.
And re'c'cnt Mrs. Waring went to

but vicious; she said. Her charges

dren. attachs'upon other dogs and
the feud with her particular pet.
Vichy. ‘she'bclicved. should be put
out of the way.
It was a- crucial moment for
Vichy. 1 His master hiicd a lawyer
and went- to court. F or three weeks,
or thereabouis he was involved in
demurrers and such silly things as
men use in settlement of their le-
gal difference—w. dog could settle it
so much easier-out of court in the
nearest alley. thought Vichy.
Now thoiudgo has rendered his
decision and it will have sweeping
effect upon dogdoni—under the old
Englishdaw Vichy was not guilty
of “taking a bite." He may have
pursued and nipped. but he did not
bite.
And the old English law stands
as adamant whono man is concern-
