Realitv netter Than Actiug.

During recent performance of "Cap-
tain Lapalisse" at Valencia theatre, an
incident occurred which for life-like effect
left nothing to be desired. During the
said play some of the actors mingle with
the spectators in order to cooperate from
the body of the house. No sooner had
Miralles, the actor, taken his seat IN the
stalls than a daring pickpocket robbed
him of his gold watch. Miralles seized
the man by his coat collar and called out
in deep bass voice:-
Police! Help! Thievesr
The audience. taking this little episode
to be part of the performance, roared with
laughter; even the. policeman joined iu.
without stirring hand or foot.
"This is no farce" cried the actor in
tones of despair. ''The fellow has got my
WATCH"
The voice sounded so natural that the
audience broke into loud applause atsuch
excellent fooling. Meanwhile the thief
managed to break away from his captor
and discreetly withdrew from the scene.
There was general CONSERVATION when
the real facts of the case became known.

The Hoboken Police Commissioners

and had visited twenty suspected places
twice u day regularly for some time, max
ing over 374 visits. They could not pro-
cure evidence OF the sale of policy slips or
OF the working of the policy game. The
report also stated that general order had
been issued TO policemen to look out for
policy shops on their beats.

twelve today, endeavoring to fix up their
annual estimate of appropriations for the

GUS committees contemplate making

priations will be asked for. Last year
S191 900 was the estimate submitted by
the Board. The appropriations given

this year will probably exceed 1926, 600.

Mr.. Thurston Denies That West Bergen
Car Line Story.

Car Line Story.
The New jersey edition of the World
this morning published statement that
the Jersey City and Bergen Railroad
Company was considering the advisable
ity of extending the Greenville horse car
line through to West Bergen. Mr.. C. B.
Thurston. President of the Company, said
to-day that there was not particle of
truth in the story. First, the company
has no trustees, as the taking paper said,
but has a board of directors; second, Mr..
Thurston never heard of the extensive
scheme; third, it would be impossible
to operate q road on West
Side avenue to the Bayonne line
because street car could not rass
beneath the bridge of the New Jersey
Central Railroad. His final reason, for
there being no truth in the statement,
was that before any more extensions were
contemplated, the company desired to
give the people what they need most and
that was more cars and electric motor
power.

A TERRIBLE SHOCK.

buU IeW, II any, OF Lne convicted men
were aware that when they were brought
before Judge Lippincott this morning they
were to be in the immediate custody Of
the Court. Like lambs they were led to
the slaughter by the Sheriff. &C., -
The big crowd that gathered about the
Court House yesterday was there today,
only it was bigger. The ballot-oox
suffers looked worried and awe struck.
They were Stunned by many of the poll
ticians whom they made. That Jailor
Davis. however, was heartily sorry for
them was plainly evident.
Judge Lppincott and Lay Judges Hoff-
man and Kenny were seated within the
Court House, and Prosecutor Winfield
conversed with the reporters and awaited
proceedings. The door leading to the
inner courtroom was guarded by two con-
stables, and the rear doors were locked,
and no one was allowed to enter. This

that the convicted men were to be quietly
arraigned In the rear court room, and re-
delivered to the tender mercies of the
Sheriff.
BY half past ten O'Clock an enormous
crowd had gathered about the Court
House. The ballot boxl suffers and the
crowd interested in their fate had been
augmented by persons who had business
before the Grand Jury and others who
were Interested in the Sessions cases.
The convicted men as rule, to their
credit be 1t said. were brave and did not
appear to be cowed by their impending
fate. Sooner than sacrifice their bonds
men they were willing to take chances of
prison.
A QUEER PROCESSION.
A few minutes before eleven O'Clock
there was a commotion outside the Court
House. Sheriff McPhillips and Joiler

and the suffers clustered about them.
In his hands Sheriff McPhillips held the
commitment papers and he told the men
that they would have to go before the
Court. The men did not know what ac-
tion the Court was going to take. Per-
haps the Sheriff did not know either.
The men filed up the steps toward the
Court room. They followed right behind
the Sheriff, and Jailor Davis brought up
the rear. One little fellow, whose
name was unable to learn. perhaps hay
ing premonition of what was going to
happen, showed disposition to walk
back into Newark avenue. In point of
fact, when half way up the stairs he
started back. One of his comrades. how
ever, persuaded him that everything
would be all right and he again Joined
the crowd.
THE ROLL CALL.
Judge Lippincott was listening to an
assault and battery case when the Sheriff
and his horde poured into the court room.
Motioning the witness on the stand to
discontinue his testimony, the Court
said;-"The prisoners brought In will
please take their places along the sides of
the court ROOM"
The Sheriff then proceeded to call off

suffers are at one o'clock today impris-
oned in the Court House. and Judge Lip
pincott has directed Sheriff McPhillips
to procure proper conveyances at once to
take the men to the respective prisons to
which they were condemned. The Judge
said that he would expect that the Sheriff
under no consideration would take the
men to the County Jail. In point of fact
the Court said he would not allow it.
The Courts action fell like bombshell
on the convicted men and their friends,
and there was the greatest excitement
about the Court House. At latest ac-
counts the Sheriff said he would obey the
order Of the Court. and the probabilities
are that when this is placed before the
readers of THE NEWS the men will be on
their way to prison, and the chances are
100 to 1'that they will serve out their SEN
tences unless the Court of Pardons inter-
venes.
