The dogs are Pal, a police dog; Curley, a water spaniel; Sport, a bull dog, and Jack, “just an ordi- nary hound.” During the trial they crouched on their paws, sometimes sleeping, sometimes gravely eyeing Justice A. P. McGraw, or the 150 towns- people who filled the courtroom. Mrs, Henry S. Ayres, a housewife, identified them as the snarling animals she drove away with a broom from 6-year-old Joyce Ham- mond. Joyce lies in a_ hospital and may lose one arm. “The dogs are criminals of the worst kind,” said Justice McGraw, “I order them placed under obser- vation for rabies, until the 15th day of February, 1934, when they will be killed by the county veter- inarian.” The twonspeople, some of whom had kept their children indoors, clapped their hands and ‘cheered. «@he dogs jumped up excitedly barked.
