contest o the efEect tha. there bad beea

contest 20 the effect that there had been
no election.
Mr.. Williams submitted a minority re-
Dor declaring that Mr.. Engard was en-
titled TO retain his seat. Mr.. Williams
moved that the minority report be ac-
cepted. aud supported his motion with a
strong legal argument.
Mr.. Eugard, who Is one of the most fiu-
ent speakers in the House, made a strong
and effective plea for his seats which had
more symoathy than argument about It.
He was listened to attentively, aud was
frequently interrupted by applause. Oar
ing Mr.. Engard's remarks particularly
smart door keeper conceived the ideA
that Mr.. Engard proposed to talk against
time until It was too late TO take vote,
and almost broke his neck climbing over
the gallery TO turn back the clock.
This trespass upon one of the inaliena-
BILE rights of Ably Naar almost gave the
Lord High Chamberlain Of the Gas Jets a
fit, so he must climb over the gallery to
see II the doorkeeper had properly fasten-
ed the glass door over the dial
Meanwhile Mr. EnQard finished his
speech and William II. Cole relieved him
self OF some of his Republican bile.
just as the clerk was about to call the
roll, Speaker Bergen said that he would
cast his vote in favor OF the minority re-
port, as he did not think the changing OF
the lines in Mr.. Engard's case changed
the result. This was the first time that
the Speaker had explained his vote, and
coming as IL did at such a time he created
much SPECULATION and helped Mr.. En-
CARDS case wonderfully.
The minority report was accepted by q
vote of 81 to 10. The Democrats who
voted with the Republicans were;-
Messrs. Bergen, Carol. J. DAILY, Lane,
Neider, Perkins, Puster, Rabinstein,
Tine, Usher, Vansyckle and Strimple.
Applause greeted the result, and William
IL. Cole, whose narrow Republican mind
trained in the Camden school of politics
could not conceive of such thing as q
Democrat voting right when his party
might gain some advantage by his voting
wrong, was so astonished that he became
decent for once.
II thank you, gentlemen" he said,
waving his hand toward the Democrats.
you hsve done right. God bless you one
and all.
Mr.. Kerr did not relish the result at all.
He did not think that the House should
accept the report of the Republicans. l5
was casting reflection upon the Demo-
cratic members of the committee.
As the newly appointed District Court
Judge of Paterson enlarged upon this
theme, he waxed warmer aud warmer,
and refused to cool on until the vote ac-
cepting the minority vote had been re-
considered, and the majority report nc
cepted after being amended so that it did
not unseat Engard.

Is LINGO GUILTY?
Opinions Divided Despite the Ver-
dict That He Killed Mrs.
Miller,

CAMDEN. March 81. 1s91.-The seal Of
death has been set upon Francis Lingo,
whom the jury last night found guilty Of
the murder OF Mrs. Annie Miller of
MerchantvIlle. but despite the verdict
there is a difference of opinion as to the
guilt of the prisoner.
Lingo's lawyers say the jury was swayed
by the popular prejudice against the
negro and by his record as a criminal;
that it was necessary TO find the victim,
and Lingo, being poor, friendless and
criminal. was picked out.
Those who think the verdict Just, how
ever, say that Lingo could not have had n
more able defence had he been wealthy;
that his counsel presented every point in
his favor in a masterful manner, even fn-
Producing the most sensational effects to
impress the jury, aud that the Jury on
the evidence could do nothing but con-
vict.
As against this last point in their argu-
ment, is the fact that Judge Garrison's
charge was so decidedly in favor of Lingo
that the court attendants expected that
the Jury would acquit or disagree
just before the jury came in at half-past
eight o'clock last night, Judge Garrison
warned the spectators that any person
expressing approval or disapproval of the

When Foreman Joseph Burroughs an

tion, "Guilty of murder In the second de-
gree" little shiver ran through Lingois
frame. His lower lip quivered, and two
big tears trickled down his cheeks
Sentence was deferred, owing to young
Lawyer Taylor's announcement that his
colleague, ex-Judge Westcott would
move FOR a new trial
II was said by one Of the Jurors that

Her Knee.
Mrs. Martha johnson. a pretty and vi
vacious young woman, keeps a boarding
house at No. 172 Garden street. Hoboken.
Her husband is day watchman at
CampbelPs stores, Fourth street. Among
Mrs. Johnson's favorIte boarders was
Bernard Keon, swell young man.
For a long time the husband has be-
lieved that his wife had more than
friendly feeling for the young boarder,
and yesterday morning his suspicious
were confirmed in an unexpected way.
He arose earlier than usual, and going
down into the dining room he saw his
wife with the favorite young boarder on
her knees and his arms around her neck.
The enraged husband AT once started o
pummel the boarder, when the wife took
the boarder's part and the husband got
the worst of the battle. He hurried to
Judge Streng's office and had a warrant
issued for his wife and boarder on
charges of assault and battery. They
were arrested and committed to the
County jail in default of $500 bail each.

In Crime As In Everything Else The

"You send some daisies down here
from Waterbury," said New Haven
jail official to DEMOCRAT young man
yesterday. The scribe reluctantly ad-
mitted that the youths of Waterbury
were not all of the Sunday school vari-
ETY., and that some of them could hold
their own in a fight, if put to it.
"Hes, guess So" replied the official,
''the fact is, Waterbury sends more I'M
washed wretches down here than any
two towns in the county, outside of New
Haven"
He was right. Waterbury has more
than its share of ungovernables. And
the pity of it is, most of the hayward
ones'are young men and boys. Some of
the lads, after spending a term in Jail
appear to like it, for no sooner are they
given their liberty than they again fall
into the hands of the law. Ofevery five
prisoners brought before the court it is
safe to say that three have had their
names upon Chief Egan's blotter more
times than once.

THE CORONER FINDS FAULT.

Because There is No Law in This State
to Admit of the Detention of Witnesses.
If Gong, the Chinese murderer, of
Hartford, is convicted it is entirely upon
his own admission to the police on the
night of the murder. Two of the wit
nesses, Benn Glib. and another whose
name was not learned, took the 1924
train for New York yesterday, and they
have probably shaken the dust of Hart
ford from their silllencased feet forever.
The coroner complains not little be.
cause there is no law in Connecticut to
admit the detention of these and other
witnesses. In New York state witnesses
are required to give bond for their APP.
pearance at the trial, but not so in Con,
necticut, and it is very doubtful ii, when
Gong is tried, single Chinese witness
will appear against him.

three officers. There is apparently nc
way by which he can be saved from the
