Kennedy, in which Miss Besley sought to recover the value of her bulldog, which was going to kill his dog in a fight, resulted today in a verdict of $25 for Miss Besley. She hired four law firms. Kennedy had one lawyer besides himself. Ten witnesses were examined, including prominent society women who testified as to the dead dog's disposition.
