The Penn's Grove record., 1884-10-25

directed their attention to the fact
that there had been an escape Of pris-
oners from Jail since the last term of
Court.
The only civil suit in the Supreme
Court was that of Joseph r. Lippin.
colt, of Salem, versus The Monmouth
Cranberry Company. This suit was
brought by Mr.. Lippincott to recover
the possession of certain shares of
stock of the Monmouth Cranberry
Company, or to compel the Company
TO transfer them to his name, which he
had purchased at Sheriff's sale. Rev.
w. E. Perry, who was at that time
President and TreaSureg of the Com
pany, owed Mr.. L. a cert ain sum of
money, for which q Judgement was OBJ
tanned; and a levy was made upon GER
tain shares of stock in said Company,
owned by Mr. Perry, which were sold
under the execution and purchased by
Mr.. l.. About the same time a Judge
ment was obtained by the Company
against Mr.. Perry for money due to
the Company; and a levy was made
upon the same shares of stock held by
Mr.. p. in the Company, and they were
again sold. The suit was to settle q
priority of judgement and levy. The
plaintiff was non. suited on a technical
plea of demand and refusal. NJ. II.
Stratton, of Salem, was attorney for
Mr.. Lippincott, and Messrs. Robbins
and Hartshorn, of Freehold, with NJ.
P. Grey, of Salem, a 5 local counsel, for
the Company.
The only other civil suit wa in the
Circuit Cont, and that was compro-
missed before going to trial. Isaac B.
Coles, versus Horace Lewis, Trespass
on the lease. Fogg for plaintiff, and
Sianicksoh for defendant.
The Grand Jury promptly found a
bill Of indictment for murder against
Howard Sullivan. The appearance of
Sullivan drew a large crowd to the
Court House, who were curious to see
him. He was the most uncoscerned
person in the whole room, and did not
seem to realize his position. The
Court had asked NJ. II. Stratton to de-
fend him before he was required to
plead, so that he knew what he was
about. 1t would have appeared better
if counsel had been assigned him last
week. Prosecutor S'spe read the in
dictment to him, charging him with
having feloniously and with malice
aforethought murdered Ella Watson.
Although the room was in perfect
silence, S~ullivan's first answer could
not be clearly heard. When the Pros
acutor asked him a second time, "Guil-
ty, or not guilty" he spoke up firmly
and without any hesitation "guilty."
The Court theii stated that this M
swer imposed upon the Court the duty
of determining the degree of the crime.
1t is generally believed that the trial
will take place on Friday, to-day.
Mr.. STATIONS line of defense will most
probably be extreme youth and repent
ence, and will make a strong plea for
mercy with recommendation to impris-
onment.
