Danny was one of these tragedies, but he still picked up a precarious living by doing odd jobs at Mulqueen's and acting as a veterinary when called upon, and he could generally be found either loafing in the smelly little office or smoking his T D pipe on the steps outside.

Well, if you're a veterinary I leave him in your care.

"How long have you been practicing veterinary medicine?" he inquired.

Danny searched until he found one: DANIEL LOWRY VETERINARY 212 WEST 53D STREET NEW YORK CITY "Here, sor," said he, his head swimming, "that's my name, but the address is wrong.

"Now," he added brusquely, "I must arrest you for practising veterinary medicine without a license.

* Danny Lowry had lived for years in fear of the blow which had so suddenly struck him down, for there had never been any blinking of the obvious fact that in acting as an unlicensed veterinary he was brazenly violating the law.

I gather from the papers that Mr. Lowry here, after holding himself out to be a properly licensed veterinary, treated a horse belonging to the complainant.

He said he was a licensed veterinary and he gave me his card.

"What do you mean by that?" "Didn't you tell this old gentleman beside me that you were a doctor of medicine but not a doctor of veterinary medicineand beg him to treat your horse for that reason?"

But the case against him failed absolutely for the following reasons: Daniel Lowry had not practised veterinary medicine without a license in taking care of Brown's sick horse, because he had not claimed to be a veterinary; he had not been paid for his services; and because all he had done was to help a suffering animal, as any man who called himself a Christian and had a heart would have done, and as it was his duty to do.

They should consider the business card which the defendant had given to the complaining witness and in which he held himself out as a veterinary.

They should ask themselves what in fact the defendant had done if not practise veterinary medicine without a license?

It was not controverted but that he had said he was a veterinary, administered medicine to a sick horse, offered to compound payment for medical treatment for himself, finally taken five dollars, and admitted his guilt before the magistrate.

So he called in a veterinary and it died.

So if he wasn't how could you convict him of being a veterinary?" "Well, if he had been I'd have convicted him all right," asserted the first.

"Now, first, all who think this defendant claimed to be a veterinary say aye.

In the first place the question before us is not whether Lowry ever didin the pasthold himself out as a veterinary, but whether he did so on the day alleged in the indictment.

He did not say anything to him about being a veterinary.

But I don't see how you can acquit this feller when the evidence is uncontradicted that he told Brown he was a veterinary and treated his horse.

If it wasn't for that" "He could 'a' treated the horse without doing it as a veterinary, just as Mr. Tutt said!" interjected the tall man.

Serve on a few more juries" "But he said he was a veterinary," insisted Brown's friend.

"How could he have treated the horse as anything else but as a veterinary when he said he was treating him as a veterinary?" "Maybe he just thought he was doing it as a veterinary", commented the gloom in black.

"How could he have treated the horse as anything else but as a veterinary when he said he was treating him as a veterinary?" "Maybe he just thought he was doing it as a veterinary", commented the gloom in black.

"He may have tried to do it as a veterinary and failed.

In that case he didn't do it as a veterinary but just as a plain man.
