The Case of the Howling Dog

Arthur Cartwright wants to leave his money to the apparent wife of Clinton Foley, another millionaire and the dog's owner, explaining that while "Evelyn Foley" pretends to be Foley's wife, he is still legally married to someone else. Foley attempts to file a complaint of insanity against Cartwright, claiming he is a homicidal maniac whose bizarre behavior prompted most of Foley's household staff to quit. Bessie is acquitted after Perry in closing arguments states that because the dog loved her, he would never have attacked her and been killed.
