DOG IS HELD AS WITNESS

Committed to the House of Detention In Female Department by New York Magistrate. New York. —Nellie was committed to the bouse of detention by Magistrate Breen. When a court officer appeared with her there the door manager said: “Hey! Ntx on the pup. No dogs allowed here.” But the attendant said: “She’s a material witness, and is committed here as such. * So Nellie was sent to the female department. Jacob Cohen claimed ownership of Nellie. He said that on October 9 Michael Batinsky of Jamaica took Nellie out for a walk, kept her and eventually sold her to Max Freinsky, a Park row saloonkeeper. Magistrate Breen held Batinsky for special sessions. Nellie made no protest against being Imprisoned. In fact, she seemed to appreciate the house of detention food. J
