“Lying friendless and alone in a police cell, a prisoner is waiting the decision of City Judge Daniel Crowley as to whether or no he shall die. His case has been tried before and each time he has been shown mercy. Now another offense has been committed and the case against the prisoner is black.
The lonely prisoner does not appear to take any interest in his surroundings, nor does he appear to care about the outcome of the trial and the decision of the court. In fact he doesn’t even know the cause of his confinement. All this is easily explainable for Napoleon, the bulldog, is the prisoner.
After several months’ absence from the city streets Nap dropped in at police headquarters this morning and when Patrolman Smith started out on the department motorcycle the dog followed, attempting to unseat the rider. Smith had been bitten by the dog before so he dismounted and took the canine into custody, placing him behind the bars.
The dog, although friendly and popular with students, has a habit of biting at passengers on street cars and motorcyclists.”
