Senator Vest on the Dog tribute in court
The Chicago Inter-Ocean recounts Senator Vest of Missouri delivering a moving homage to a dog in a country-town trial. He spoke of a dog's unwavering loyalty, noting a dog as a true friend who stays by a master through poverty, illness, and death, evoking tears from judge and jury despite a verdict for the plaintiff. The piece links Vest's speech to a dramatic case where a $500 verdict followed a $200 suit, and some jurors reportedly favored hanging the defendant.
