The preliminary examination of ]. X.
Stump for completely in the famous
mortgage job by which it was intended
to swindle Morris NJ. Green and 0. A.
Stassforth was begun yesterday in the
township court before Justice Stanton.
Very little testimony was introduced,
but there is enough already in to make
the outlook appear bad for Mr.. Stump.
The first witness was II. E. Cornwell,
the notary public who took Hoy's ac-
acknowledgement to the bogus mortgage,
who testified that Hoy was introduced to
him as Morris NJ. Green by Ed. L. Baker.
Mr.. Green's evidence was very damag-
ing to the defendant. He testified that
he has known Stump since 1855, and
after identifying the property described
in the mortgage as being his, he swore
that he never gave anyone authority to
sign his name or to raise money on his
ranch. Several conversations were held
between the witness and Stump. The
first one took place on the evening of
September 9th, in front of Stump's
house, when the mortgage matter came
up. Witness said 81 asked him whether
lo hHcW duy tuiHR aUOu0 thO lhoi tSdSCs
and he said no. told him I was glad
to hear it,
On the evening following Mr.. Green
found Stump at his house when he re-
turned from the city. Stump at that
time stated that he was implicated, and
had told Hoy and Baker to go ahead
with the job; that it was all right.
A third conversation was had on the
same subject at Mr.. Peck's Office. The
defendant introduced witness to Peck,
and talk ensued about the arrest of
HOY, Mr.. Green finally being asked to
see the district attorney and endeavor
to have that officer let up on Hoy. Mr..
Peck stated at that time that five or six
good men would be secured to urge the
district attorney to drop the matter.
John G. Hoy occupied a seat in the
courtroom, having been brought from
the county Jail to testify, and after Mr..
Green was dismissed, the convicted man
was called TO the stand. He had an
swered but few preliminary questions
when court adjourned. Owing to en-
gagements of counsel in the case the
hearing was continued to Thursday
morning.
