Hairbreadth Escapes OF Jersey Justice
Hauser, the Irrepressiblc, Again In
Trouble. moo rrcG ls .ll lug
New Jersey is very justly proud Of Its Bench and
Bar. Newark shares this feeling in common with
the entire State, as she points to the Supreme
Court Of the United States at washington, on the
bench OF which sits the distinguished jurist, Jo-
seph p. Bradley But there Is one young member
OF the Newark Bar who seems destined to do
little else but reflect the reverse OF honor on his
profession and his associates. This is Mr.. Samuel
Hauser, OF No. As South Orange avenue. During
the past three or four years this individual,
whose connections are quite respectable and
well-to-do, has figured In divers and sun
dry criminal cases, not by any means In
his capacity as a lawyer, but as the prisoner
charged with crime. Some years ago Sam was
indicted for rape in the Norris county Courts.
ON the trial. however, which lasted nearly week,
It was shown that the lady In the case was not as
discreet as morality would dictate, and hence Sam
was acquitted. subsequently he doomed up In
Newark as the accused in q case OF of
la DEFRAUDINa THE WIDOW OF SOLDIER,
a Door woman named Bodenschatz, out OF her
pension money, 500. Sam was held to bail alter
examination, but nothing came OF the case as he
pakd the woman her money and somehow Judicial
Courts several times. Last December he was
81. .,-. CHARGED WITH swINDLrNG
q German family named Weath out OF $36 He
had. az alleged, taken advantage OF domestic
quarrel, induced the woman to make complaint
against her husband, and then mulcted them In
S35 to get HIM clear Of the law, the man being
required to give bail to keep the peace. Sam, In
later, on the 17th or last month, sam and Justice
OF the Peace, one Geisseie an alleged confederate,

The complainant, John Hines, swore before Justice
Mills that Samuel Hauser and Christian +. Geissele
had derauded him OF 3l2 BY false and fraudulent
misrepresentations On this the accused were held
to await the action OF the Grand Jury. Finally

nearly on par with the Bodenschatz case. Ac-
cording to the afndavft OF Mr. Louis Ibecken Of 90
Mis- ne and hts wife had dinlctiity. Sam turned
up rs the lawyer in the case. he agreed to pro-
cure bill OF separation for $40. Ibecken paid this
$40 more, and would then be entitled to ~ =,
PERPETUAL DIVORCE.
This staggered Louis. He declined to paw, left
and consulted lawyer, who apprised him OF
ceniounded swindle.A note from Justice " Geis-
see, 'per H." induced Louis TO visit that worthy
Sam was present. He threatened to have Sam
locked up in jail at once 4 the $40 were
were eli ready and the constable waiting II he did
not comply. This, II Is alleged, occurred In the
once OF the above named magistrate. Heaven
save the markD Louis paid the money and hence
the arrest OF Hauser. The character OF Hauser, a.
may be Judged from this recital OF facts. Is not0-
rious In Newark, and the wonder Is that, II one
fourth that has been sworn to is true about MN,
