^ In this latest record of such prosecutions a man named Margerwas killed and robbed by Scherrer and his son, with the fierce andeffective co-operation of their dog. The three murderers were tried

and the two men sentenced to lifelong imprisonment, but the dog,

as the chief culprit, without whose complicity the crime could nothave been committed, was condemned to death.
