NEWARK, April 80, 1890. "A great deal
has been made of the fact that a lot of
goods in possession of the Stepens- Condit
Transportation Company consigned to
Joseph FEEDER, of this city, had been
seized by the sheriff under writs of re-
plevin issued by creditors of the firm of
Aaron & Feder, of New York city. The
story was sent to THE SUNDAY MORNING
NEWS 1t has been stated that an at
tempt had been made to defraud, and the
story embellished by all sorts of infer
ences and insinuations.
The truth is that Akers & Co., unable to
pay ell their creditors in full by lawful
transfers, secured some of those who had
furnished them with money used in their
business, as they had right to do. The
goods taken by the Sheriff will be deliv-
cred to the consignee, who will give
bonds for their value. and the question OF
title will then be determined by the
courts. 90
There is no law which prevents oate'

signing resolutions during the war period
to the effect that Nash for reasonable
utterances, should be sent to Fort Lafay-
ette.
Mr.. Lee said he had no recollection Of
having signed the resolutions referred to,
but that he had signed several resolutions
against rebels, and might have signed
those duplicating Mr.. Nash, if he had
been charged with uttering reasonable
sentiments.
Mr.. Nash yehemently denied that he
was a rebel, bit admitted that he was not
in sympathy with the government during
the war. During the discussion that fol-
lowed, the fact was developed that Nash
had been on trial for the utterances OF
reasonable sentiments. and that iniiuen-s

prisonment in Fort Lafayette. The
Assemblyman became violent, and in

proprietor requested him TO leave the

After several ladies had left the dining
room. on account of his language the head
waiter ordered him to keep quiet or

MARY PAVONTS HOUSES
She Wants Them Back but
Father Corrigan Paid
For Them.

Vice Chancellor Pitney listened this
morning to testimony in the case Of
Mary Paroni against Father Patrick Cor
rigan, Of st. Mary's Church, Hoboken.
The woman alleges in her bill OF COM
plant that she is over seyenty-six years
old and is married co an Italian much
her junior. He husband, she alleges, ill
treated her to such an extent that she
was afraid he would do her some grievous
bodily harm.
She accordingly went to Father Corri-
gan, with whom she was acquainted,
and requested him to procure separa-
tion from her husband. This she says
Father Corrigan promised to do If she
would transfer to him her property.
She made the transfer, she says, and
Father Corrigan handed her q roll Of bills
and then took them back Her husband
was paid 800 to sign the deed. Father
Corrigan failed to procure the separa-
ton.
FATHER coRRIGAN's ANSWER
In his answer the priest ayers that he
paid Mary Paroni 81, 600 for the property.
He says that from 1868 to 1866 he was
pastor of Hackensack, Fort Lee and
Englewood. There he met Mary,
who was then the wife Of
Thomas Meehan, from whom
she received her property at his death.
He did not see her after she married Par
oni until last June, whan she sent for him
and teld him about her troubles with
Paroni and thanked the father for his
kindness.
She then wanted to will him her pro-
perty which consisted of three small
houses and a lot of land in Ridgefield, so
that her husband could not get it.
She made will which she afterwards
destroyed, and then deed was made
giving Father CorrigaD the title to the
property in fee with lease for life to
Mary.
NO SEPARATION.
Father Corrigan denied that he was to
secure a separation from her husband or
that he took back the money after once
paying it to her Father Corrigan testi-
..ised te these facts and was submitted to a
long cross-examination by Mr.. a. A.
j Johnson, of Hackensack.
He did not waive in his testimony.
Judge Garrick testified that he explained
the contents of the deed to Mary before
she signed it. and that he saw Father
Corrigan give her $1,000

JUDICIAL SENSATION.
Judge Lippincott Scores
Policy Dealers Who
Defy the Law.

Henry Fober, a saloon keeper, and
August Seaman, his bartender, were con-
yicted in the Court Of General Sessions
yesterday afternoon. They were
indicted for selling policy ticket
at Newark and Garden streets,
Hoboken. During the trial Richard F.
Barry, engineer at the Hoboken City
Hall, testified that he had been employed
to nose out these places and that he
bought a ticket of Seaman.
Counsellor Bretzfeldt asked Mr. Barry
II he had ever played before. He said,
No" He said that Chief Donovan had
given him ten cents to play to obtain evil
dence and he did 50, for a uniformed po-
liceman could not do it,
John Messe swore that he went into
Faber's saloon, and a man there said,
Here's chance to make play" and
he made it.
Objection was made by Mr.. Bretzfeldt
to the line of examination, and the Prose-
cutor with emphasis declared that one
instance was as good as fifty. and that he
wanted to show this instance.
Other evidence was given to corrobor-
ate the above testimony, and then Judge
Lippincott said:-
"Gentlemen Of the jury, you have
no right to acquit these men If
of credence, simply because there are
others more powerful and better able to
protect themselves than they are. That
there are others TO whom this will apply,
yes, even within the very shadow OF the
Court House, is a well established tact
These, it is said, are so interested
in this nefarious business that they seek
to obtain controlling interest. even
monopoly, of the trade by crushing out
their weaker competitors. They have
even sought to make the court the cats
paw to this end, and the court has been
obliged to do its duty.
while these facts might tend to miti-
gate the severity of punishment, they
shnnld not enter into consideration in
deciding your verdict. The day will come
when those who fancy themselves
more powerful than the law
will find themselves within its grasp and
they may then expect no cut mercy.
But with this you have 4othing to do.
You mIbt take the evidence as presented,
consider it fairly, and give the defend
ants the benefit of every reasonable
doubt.n
The jury dellberated about five minutes
and returned verdict of guilty.

Special TO the Jersey CITY NetCs.
TRENTON, April 80, 1890. Casper Soer,
the Newark money order clerk who con-
fessed to embezzling nearly SIS 1000, was
seen yesterday at the County Jail by a
number of persons. He saTs he will plead
guilty when indicted, and expects TO go
to State Prison. He is anxious for the
punishment to begin as soon as possible.
He says he feels very sorry on his wife's
account, and speaks of her as being
very good woman.
When asked how it was that he could
take so much money in the face of the
strict postal regulations without dlscov-
cry, he said that it was Just as simple as
that his superiors neglected to perform
their duties with respect to auditing his
accounts He said that the returns he
made to the department. were correct in
every particular but one item and this
was the credit for money held against adj
vices on hand not two weeks old. Had
his cash been counted at any time detec-
tion would have resulted. Ii Postmaster
Conkling had counted The money and
checked off the adyices, as his duty
prompted, the defalcatlon would have
been found.
He accounted for the failure to discover
his shortage during the last six weeks,
while he has been out OF the postoffice,
by saying that his successor was not very
bright. His cash book was straight, as
far as his entries were made in it, but it
had not been written up for weeks. The
inspector could tell nothing from his
book.
Herbert Knight, counsel for one OF
Soer's bondsmen, brought to the Jail yes
terday valise containing lot Of papers
that gave cue to the extent of the de-
ficit. Inspector Parham knew this was
coming and was on hand to get it. The
Inspector says that a shortage of $4,000
has already been found.
Socr has had no communications from
his wife except verbal. nor has she vIsited
him. He says the only mistake he made
was in not telling his bondsmen Of the
matter before he gave himself up. One

sponsible, but Soer refused, saying 1t was
