SHE DOES NOT SUSPECT.
Mrs. Knifin's Mother Is Friendly
to the Doctor and Miss Pursel.

TRENTON. Jan. IA. 1S90.--At the re-
newed hearing in the Kniflin inquest to-
day Mrs. Mary Ann Murphy, Mrs. Knif-
fms mother, was the first witness called
to testify. She is an old lady and appears
very feeble. She was dressed in deep
mourning. She answered the questions
put to her in a very low and tremulous
tone
She said that she first learned of the
death of her daughter from Kniffin's boy,
who called her to Kniffin's house. The
boy had been sent down to sleep in her
apartments because he was afraid to
sleep there when his father was not
there. He was not sent there by Miss
Pursel.
She first heard of the robbery of Novem-
Der 80 from William Silver on Sunday
morning. When she called that evening
she was told by her daughter that she
had slept soundly through it all and
heard nothing. When she did wake up
she heard a Kissing noise and found the
gas turned on. That was before Miss
Pursel came in the room.
Miss Purcell said:-"Myra, there were
robbers in my rooms last night" Miss
Purcell told her she saw man strike q
match, while another closed the window,
and third stepped to the bed and told
her if she made any noise he would kill
her.
The man beside the bed helm knife in
his hand. The men left by the door, and
she lay in bed until morning.
Coming to the night of the murder
Mrs Murphy said that Mrs. Kniffin
did not call on that night.
Mrs. Kniffin never had any difficulty
with Miss Pursel, except once when the
latter failed to come to her meals. Then
they had little quarrel. The relations
between Kniftin and his wife were pleas
ant
Have you any reason to believe Miss
Pursel had anything to do with the
murderp"
No" answered Mrs. Murphy.
Have you any reason to suspect DR..
Shannon of being connected with the
murder?''

The "Roome" Faction Dedicated In the
Bergen Land Improvement Election.

ments, $50, ,60012. The total assets are

of the evening. There were two tickets
in the field, one issued by the managers
of the association, the other issued by the

aims by electing him Vice president.
Their ruse failed, and the "Bruns men"
carried the election by sweeping ma
jority.

Executive Boord on the regular ticket,
but ''the break" he made during the
evening resulted in his being cut on all
sides, and Michael Baldwin was elected
in his stead

tary Burns were well rewarded, his sal
arv being increased from $500 to $500.
