              THE DOG SUIT - The Recorder's Court room was
            packed full of people Monday to hear the famous
            McKENZIE - WORTHINGTON dog trial. CHAS. WORTHINGTON,
            of this city, accused JAMES McKENZIE, of Detroit,
            formerly of stable foreman at KING'S livery stable,
            of having stolen a puppy. Most of the legal talent
            of the city was engaged on the case, and the case
            was a very funny one. It was clearly proven that
            if McKENZIE ever stole the dog it was done at least
            five or six years ago; that the dog never was stolen,
            that if it had been weaned it might have been worth
            $10, but as it was not yet weaned it had no value
            whatever, that the larceny was outlawed long ago;
            and finally the whole court, Judge and all, broke
            out into an uncontrollable fit of laughter when
            ED. PETIT swore that Mr. KING'S jackass ate the
            dog up. Mr. McKENZIE goes home an innocent man.
