succession. Christian has three daughters and
three sons. The eldest daughter, Alexandra, Is

Newark, by whom he was employed as book.
keeper until about three months ago. The
| Fearys conduct the central Office OF the teIe-
phone company in Newark. Biler asserted his
Innocence. The statement of John Feary is that

'SHoT IN THE RACK BY HIS PARTY'-RE AT

The democratic Age Of York, Pa, publishes
an interview with Lieutenant Governor Chaun-
cey F. Black, in which he is quoted as saying:
"FOr myself have no regrets. 1t is no dis

real state issues involved. What support We
