The Second One Directed in Court
Against Her Good Name.
The time of the Court of Sessions was
taken up this morning by a case of as
sault on Annie Kearney, girl just passed
sixteen years old.
The accused was Andrew O'Neil, an
engineer on the Pennsylvania Railroad.

a ''homen in New York kept
by Sisters OF Cnarty to act as servant at
his house On March 6 it was claimed.
while Mrs. O'Neil was in New York, her
husband went home 10 his
dinner, and on that occasion
carried the resisting girl up one flight of
stairs and assaulted her. The testimony
that described the alleged offense was such
as is seldom heard even within
the crime hardened walls of the Criminal
Court room. The defense was a general
denial OF the charges and an attempt to
assail the character of the girl. Counsel
lor Rowe appeared for O'Neill.

Annie Coles Story of Midnight Assault
Was Not Corroborated.
Patrick Kelly was tried in the Court of
Sessions yesterday on charge of crimi-
nal assault. Annie Cole was the COM
plainant She appeared to be about
seventeen years old, was rather pretty
and appeared demure and timid
while in court. She said her
home was at No AZ Sussex street. Her
story was that one night last July she
went to party given by Miss Annie
Murphy, who lived on the Hill. She did
not remember the address. Michael
Mack was her companion to the party.
and about three o'clock in the morning he
escorted her to a car and said, Good
night"
The complainant got off at Hudson
street aud went home. Fifteen minutes
after she entered the house she went out
in the back yard and she claimed that
while there Kelly assaulted her. He
lived In the adjoining house. AS soon as
possible she escaped from him and told
her story TO policeman.
The defense was that the girl was
drunk the night in question and general
denial of the charge. There was no evil
dence to corroborate the complainant's
story and the jury acquitted Kelly.

gates for E. F. Mcdonald.

The Democratic primaries for delegates
to the Congressional Convention were
held throughout the county last night.

though it is apparent that Congressman
McAdoo will receive a complimentary
vote of some pretensions.
Mr. McAdoo showed more strength in
Hoboken and the northern end of the
county than he did in Jersey City. but
Mcdonald maintained the lead there as
well as in the southern part or the county.
