Brady against John A. Levi, in Justice Shannon's Shan-non's court the other morning, says the Kansas City Journal. Both parties claimed the ownership of the dog, and after several witnesses had been examined on either side the judge was at as great a loss to decide the question of ownership as at first. Mr. Brady's attorney, however, stated that they could prove the claimantship beyond doubt by the recognition of the the dog for Mrs. Dr. Brady, and she was accordingly summoned. The dog immediately im-mediately jumped from his place in the prisoner's dock and showed with every demonstration of canine joy his recognition recog-nition of his mistress. In consideration of the adverse testimony this was still not convincing to the Judge, so Mrs. Brady agreed to give a last indisputable proof of the dog's ownership. She stated that if she would sing a certain, song the dog, In response to his training, would join in with her in his dog fashion and-.voicefc,E3 sing the song through, This sbeBd and at the first words of the song the dog leaped for joy and fulfilled his part of the duet to the astonishment of the spectators and the court. No further evidence was taken and the dog returned home with Mrs. Brady by order of the court.1 |
