LOUISE SEATON'S DEATH.
LottAe Coombes Held by Justice O'Don
nell for the Grand Jury.

LOttA0 COON DeS helO Dy OuSLlc6 OfDOn-
nell for the Grand Jury,
A preliminary examination of the
charge of murder preferred against Lot
tie Coompes, who, in a fight on Sunday.
May 1. inflicted injuries upon seventeen
year-old Louise Seaton. which, it is
claimed, caused her death on the Thurs
uay night following, was held in Police
Justice O'Donnell's court this morning.
A Coroner's Jury had already rendered
a verdict to the effect that Louise Seat
on's death was caused by cerebro spinal
meningitis, supeHnduced by violence
used by Lottie Coombes.
Counsellor Rowe represented the pris-
oner. But two witnesses were examined.
They were Adelina Johnson, six
teen-year-old colored girl, and Jo-
sephine Smith, mulatto woman,
of No. 921 Third street, next door to No.
319. where Mrs. Coombes lives. Their
testimony has been already published in
TIE NEWS as part of the proceedings of
the Coroner's inquest. Both saw the
Coombes woman grasp Louise by the
throat and heard her say "Pll break your
c. d neck" They saw the fight
which took place; saw Louise watching
the circus parade next day; saw her on
Tuesday in bed unconscious. and knew
that she died on Thursday night.
Counsellor Rowe said if it were not for
the Coroner's verdict he would ask the
Court to held the prisoner only on the
charge of assault and battery. He was
satisfied however, to let the case go to
the upper court, where he would seek to
have the charge modified. Police JUS
O'Donnell said he was obliged to hold
the prisoner for the Grand Jury on the
charge preferred.
Counsellor Rowe says that County
Physician Converse acknowledges that
he was unable during an autopsy to trace
any connection between the girls death
and the injuries inflicted by Lottie
Coombes

sons on board.
This. following similar accident at

inspection of steamships ID those waters.
Most of the steamships ON the Caspian

enduring the sudden and severe storms
which occasionally sweep over the inland

County Clerks of New Jersey Will
Now Lose Some Fat Fees.
special 10 the Jerseu Cita Ne,cs.

TRENTON, May II. 1S92-Vice Chancel-
lor Pitney. of Camden. yesterday render
ed an opinion against County Clerk Rob-
ert L. Barber. who had refused access to
the county records to the West Jersey
Title and Guarantee Company. The
company has been Gepriving the Clerk OF
some of his fat fees by copying the
records so as to furnish briefs of title
and guarantee searches The Clerk shut
down on this, claiming that the company
did not have the same right as private
citizen to examine the records. The vice
Chancellor held that the record books
were public property, provided at the ex-
pense of the county, and the Clerk was
merely their custodian. and had no right
to exclude anyone from examining them.
This decision means the loss of several
thousand year to the County Clerk.
The proceedings and opinion yesterday
are the revival of a fight that began here
in Trenton about one year ago by the
Real Estate Title Co., of which Hugh IL.
Hamiil is President, and which, through
Its attorneys, Messrs. James Buchanan
and William s. Gummere, applied to the
Supreme Court and obtained q rule to
show cause why q mandamus should not
issue against County Clerk Randolph II.
Moore, of Mercer, compelling him to per-
init the Real Estate Title Company to
have access to the county records, he hav-
ing thrown obstacles. 1t is alleged. in the
way of the company to such an extent as
the stand taken by the Camden county
clerk.
Under that rule the Trenton company
took evidence. but proceeded no farther, an
amicable arrangement having been ar
rived at by Mr.. Moore and the company.
The statute provides that the county
records shall be open to all persons. The
decision also means a loss of several
thousand dollars year to county clerks
in all the leading counties of the State.

The misunderstanding between Title

in various counties throughout the State

Young of the New Jersey Title Gupran-
tee and Trust Company, in speaking of his
and the clerk of his office, said:-"I have
never had any trouble of any kind. Mr..
Mclaughlin and his clerks have always
done all in their power to facilitate mat
ters for me. The gentlemen in the local
office are courteous and exceedingly
obliging, my acquaintance with them has
been most agreeable. We do, of course,
deprive the County Clerk of search fees,
but that fact has never caused q mis-
understanding or disagreement of any
description"
