SLAY 'INNOCENT' DOG Mistaken Identity in Canine Which Bit Winnetka Youths Results in Killing of Wrong Dog Mistaken identity has been respon- sible for many false charges of various crimes, including even that of murder, and biting people, the latter charge against a poor innocent Winnetka doggie, recently, resulting in his elec- trocution. Then it was discovered, but too late, that the dog which had been put to death, was not the one which recently bit four Winnetka youths. The biting dog was later captured and proved to be suffering from rabies, from which he died. The boys, who were bitten, told the police the dog which had attacked them was owned by Philip J. Hoza, residing at 554 Arbor Vitae road. Mistaken Identity This is where the mistake in identity came in. The boys were sincere in their statements, firmly believing they recognized the dog. Mr. Hoza willingly turned his dog over to the police, that the animal might be put to death. For the sake of his own family as well as for that of his neighbors, he had no desire to keep a dog that was so ferocious, even though it should be proven that the animal was not suffering from rabies. Mr. Hoza, however, was at a loss to understand how his dog should have suddenly manifested this vicious na- ture, but he did not question the posi- tive identification made by the 'boys who. had been the victims, to what proved to be another dog. And thus it was that mistaken iden- tity resulted in the electrocution, by the police, of Mr. Hoza's innocent dog. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis P. Mercer of 684 Pine street moved Wednesday to Barrington, where they are building a new home. The F. A. Hancock family of 1181 Oakley avenue, Hub- bard Woods, has taken the former Mercer home on Pine street. --_0-- Mrs. Ernest S.
