PATERSON'S BAD OFFICIALS.


A NEW JERSEY TAX COMMISSIONER WHO SEEMS
TO HAVE ovERRRACHED HIMSELF.
Ex-rax Commissioner James Hand and his clerk,
Edward Eakns placed trial in Paterson n j.,
yesterday for malfeasance in Office There several
Indictments against Hand. The charge upon which he
is being tried based upon the following alleged
cumstances:-The assessment on the old Rogers mill,
owned by Edward s. Jafrray wealthy New York mer-
chant fixed by him at SIS 900 before August l,
required by law. Afterward Hand and his clerk,
Eans agreed TO alter that assessment from SIS 600
10 SIS 600 In order 10 favor Edward J. Watson,
Paterson man, who had bought the property.
After the list was returned, on August ],
only the Appeal Commissioners had right TO alter the
assessment and consequently tho deiendenrs atera-
tion OF it forgery. After making the alteration
Hand came New York and collected from Mr.. Jafray
the taxes the property with the valuation still at
SIS 00O He had no authority In any To collect
assessment The presumption is that he first intended
turning 10 the Collector the tax ss 600 and
tanning the remainder, but he failed TO any
at all
A Jury was obtained before Mr.. Jaifray and
number OF other witnesses examined and their
testimony was damaging to Hand 1t is thought that
a. case will 60 to the jury this afternoon.
