stole his three-year-oid daughter from
her mothers home on Saturday last. as
told exclusively in The JERSEY CITY
NEWS. was before Justice Davis yesterday

seemed much moved by her position.
She said that last August her husband
met her upon the street, and struck her
in the face because she refused TO allow
him to accompany her home.
Justice Davis held Stocker under $500

But He VIII Continue to Marry All Who
Apply to Him.


Pastor J. W. Freund of st, Johns
Evangelical Church, Hoboken, whose
erratic career has from time to time been
ventilated in THE JERSEY CRY NEWS. has
resigned. 1t will be remembered that the
pastor was charged with iinbibing too
freely at a wedding st which he officiated
recently. At that time it was understood
that majority of the trustees of the
church were in favor OF expelling the
pastor. but it was finally agreed that
within period of three months after the
affair had blown over the pastor would
resign, and resign ne did at the meeting
of the trustees on Thursday night.
Mr. Freund said yesterday that he re-
signed because of the annoyance he has
been subjected to. He believes he has a
right to drink wine or beer and it is no.
body's business. He lives in richly fur
nished house in Hudson street, and he
says his salary as pastor OF the church
was not sufficient to pay his rent His
chief income is derived from wedding
fees
Mr.. Freund officiates at more weddings
than pro 3ably any other three ministers
in Hobosen. He says he will not abandon
the ministry or leave Hoboken. but Will
