Court Takes Up Dog Act Case Under Advisement
Judge McKnight of the County Criminal Court heard arguments on the constitutionality of the 1907 dog law. William J. Webster Sr argued to quash the indictment while William Fleming defended the legislature’s right to regulate the dog menace. The judge will render a written opinion later, with the case likely reaching the supreme court regardless of his ruling. Other indictments for similar offenses follow the Erwin decision.
