Tine Fraud Mayors Counsel Chiefly Want
to Choke on Testimony.

The Fraud Mayors Counsel Chiefly Want
to Choke or Testimony.
The examination in the Perkins Cleve-
land contest dragged YEARLY on yester-
day afternoon. The time was taken up
entirely with the cross examination of
James McGregor. Even Mr.. Hudspeth
became weary of the drudgery of killing
time in the interest of Mr. Clevelan d and
towards the latter part of the sitting
went out to recuperate, le aving Mr. Nc
Masters to continue the monotony. Mr..
McMasters proved himself as able an OBJ
structionist as Mr. Hudspeth and it was
five o'clock before McGregor was released
from the rack.
A discussion then arose over today's
sitting. Mr.. Perkins lawyers had served
the Mayors counsel with notice that
they would apply to the Supreme Court
at Trenton today for an extension of the
time given them to complete their testi-
mony. Nevertheless, they wished to go on
taking testimony today. This was oh jected
to in behalf of Mr.. Cleveland on the
ground that his counsel could not be in
two places at once, and they wished to
oppose the motion at Trenton.
Mr.. Record then proposed that the ex-
animation go on this afternoon, arguing
that the counsel could be heard at Tren-
ton and return to the city by that time.
There was some further talk upon the
subject and it was finally agreed that the
examination should proceed at half-past
one O'Clock this afternoon, provid ed
counsel could dispose of the matter at
Trenton and return by that time.

DID HE MURDER HER?
Detectives Investigating the Death
Of the Negro Coles Wife.

Since the remark made by Mrs. Sulli-
van, the mother of Mrs. Mamie Perkins,
who figured in Justice Stilsing's court
yesterday as co-defendent with the
negro, John Cole, to the effect that Cole
murdered his wife for Mrs. Perkins. the
police have been making further in
yestigation Of the case.
When Coles wife died the circum-
stances surrounding her death were of
such nature that County Physician
Converse was notified. He made an ex.
animation of the body and gave death
certificate TO Undertaken Boylan. It is
usual in such cases, when nothing is
found to warrant suspicion of foul play,
for the County Physician to make no re-
port to the police. Thus no police inves-
tigation was made.
Captain FArrier this morning detailed
detective to work up the case. The de-
tective has not yet reported.
A reporter OF The JERSEY CITY NEWS
was unable to run across the County
Physician, and visits last night and this
morning to the premises occupied by Mrs.
Sullivan were fruitless, as neither Mrs.
sullivan nor Mr.. Perkins was at home,
and the noighbors could give no infor-
nation as to their whereabouts
A group of women were discussing the
newspaper reports of the hearing just
outside the tenement house in which the
Perkins family live. They were bitter in
their denunciation of Mrs. Perkins. They
were not, however, inclined to the belief
that Cole murdered his wife, although
unani nous, so far as they were able TO
judge in the opinion that she was not q
delicate woman.
Cole apparently thought great deal
of his wife, said one of the women. 1T
was a common remark of the women
hereabouts concerning the happiness of
that famiIy.'
The house in which Cole lived lies back
some distance from the avenue 1t is a
rickety little two-story shanty, in which
old Sammy Sutton, OF tin can fame, acts
as an under landlord. Cole occupied the
upper floor, and from his windows one
could converse with person at a
window in the tenement occupied by
the Perkins family. The women
with whom the reporter talked this morn
ing, all said the lower floor was resort
for dissolute men and women: but that
some Of the tenants were very respect
able. They were inclined to the opinion,
however, that Mrs. Sullivan merely ac-
cused Cole of numbering his wife while
in white heat of passion when she first
made the startling discovery of her
daughters infamous degradation.
Policeman Donovan, who accompanied
Policeman Murphy and Mr.. Perkins into
the Coles house Monday morning, said
Mrs. Sullivan followed them into Cele's
house, and, said the policeman, "a
madder woman you never saw than Mrs.
Sullivan" Should the detective find
anything in his search today to warrant
suspicion of foul play the body of Coles
wife will be examined and an autopsy
