The complaint of Annie Haupt,
fifteen-year-old girl who resides with her
parents in Railroad avenue. against
Saloonkeeper Carl Astor, her cousin, Of
No. 191 Railroad avenue. for annoying
her by harrassIng accusations. has

tic story of human depravity.
Mary's father is a reputable shoe cob
bier. She looks older than fifteen, and
talks with slang sugges-
tive of toughlsm. To report

JOHN RUEY's PROPERTY.
Two Charges Exploded by the Search
Thus Ear Made.
Special to the Jersey City Ne,os.


Special to the Jersey City Neics.
FREEHOLD. Oct. %, 1s91.-The experts
who are making searches here in regard
to John Hoey's real estate transactions in
Monmouth county say that Mr.. Hoey
owns at least 300 acres Of land. There are
no deeds upon record showing that Mr..
Hoey ever conveyed any property to Mrs.
Josephine Hoey, his wife. The claim
made by President Sanford that Mrs
Hoey executed the mortgage for 100000
which was given to the Guarantee Trust
and Safe Deposit Company is proven to
be false. The mortgage was executed by
Mr.. Hoey, and is dated April 80, 1885. 1t
covers 48M acres of Hollywood Park and
five acres of land on the south side of
Cedar avenue. Papers on file here show
that the trust company assigned the
mortgage to William l.. Hubbell on June
co. 1891, for 100000 in cash, and that on
Wednesday Of last week "for and in con-
sideration of 81 and other valuable con-
siderations," Hubbell assigned the mort
gage to Henry Sanford and L. G. Wier,
trustees of the Adams Express Company.
AS far as the searchers have gone in their
work, there appears to be no doubt that
Mr.. Hoey has property enough to cover
all claims that can bs established against
him. There are no judgments on record
against him, and all the mortgages on his
property aggregate less than one-sixth of
its value

Story of the Tragedy.
Special to the JERSEY Ctty Ne,cs.
TRENTON. Oct %. 1891. Daniel Ryan
found his tongue last night. but the po-
lice say he might better have kept silent.
His story is that he and Mrs Parks set out
together for tramp to the South and that
the marriage was an afterthought. Then,
he says, they separated, he to go to st.
Johns Cemetery to see Ii workmen had
properly sodded the grave of Alice Barry.
woman with whom he had lived for
some time. Here he lay down and went
to sleep. not waking until Tuesday morn
ing in the midst of q rain storm. He
started for Trenton, but when in the
vicinity of CoalporJ he was attacked by
four men. whom he didn't know. and
thrown into the canal. He crawled out
and made his way to the nearest saloon.
where he was arrested last night.
The falsity Of Ryan's story appeared
from an examination of his clothing. His
outer garments were wet, as by rain, but
his underclothing was perfectly dry.
Still, there is no evidence to connect him
with the woman's death, because no one
can be found who saw them after they
left Justice Abbett's Office. He is held,
however, to await the inquest.
