1Opinion of the Court
LEMMON, Circuit Judge.
An alien who lost a valuable trained dog through a railroad’s admitted carelessness is here complaining that he was cavalierly hustled out of the court below by a summary judgment.
A full trial, with ample opportunity for the cross-examination of witnesses, can no doubt clear up many, if not all, of the uncertainties, contradictions, and errors that have crept into this case.
