ALLEGED PANHANDLER'S DOG
WINS RELEASE FOR HIM
Faithful Fox Terrier's Devotion
Moves Magistrate to Free Man
A pet fox terrier belonging to George, alias "Gold Tooth" Wilson, won freedom for that individual in Camden yesterday.
Wilson had been arrested Sunday night by Detective Brothers for "panhandling." The dog was with the alleged beggar and went with him to the patrol box, where it remained when "Gold Tooth" was taken away in the patrol.
Yesterday Detective Brothers passed the same patrol box, at Broadway and Spruce streets. The dog was still there, and it could not be induced to move by threats or coaxings. The detective went before Recorder Stackhouse and related the incident. The Recorder was moved by the tale of the dog's devotion and discharged Wilson from custody. The man hurried away to rejoin his pet.
