Hearing This Morning in the Supreme
Court.
Special to The Jerseu CITY Nelos
TRENTON, June IL, 1898. Before Judges
Depue, Lippincott and Albeit. sitting
as a branch of the Supreme Court,
was argued this morning the
case of James B. Fenning VS.. the
Bishop, ETC., of the Diocese of Newark.
1his is the celebrated Westfield case, and
involves the over of the Bishop TO re-
move a rector of parish. Mr.. jennings
was present aud followed the proceed
ipps attentiveiy. He was represented Dy
Craig Marsh of PIainfield, while t. +.
Haywood Shreve appeared for the
Bisuop.
Jent,inrs- was dismissed from The
Westfield parish by the Chnrch
Committee upon the applica-
tion of a large number OF
the communicates. The dismissal was
ratified by the Bishop. Jennings claims
that the proceeding violated the civil con-
tract rights which he had with Grace
Church and that the Bishop had no right
to issue such order. He there
fore brought the matter into the Supreme
Court by certtorari. Mr.. Marsh cited
extensively from English and American
cases to show that Jennings had sus-
stained an injury cognizable by the civil
law. MIR. Shecoe on the other hand
contended that MIR. Jennings had no
rights iu the civil courts in the matter,
even IL the Bishop had violated Inc
Canon law.

case, reported in the 41st New York, page
70. Ex-Governor Robinson referred TO
that. In that case, he coniended, the
defendant had volunteered and was per-
fectly willing TO make statement.
My friend said that the defendant in
that case mad volunteered to make Il con-
fession in the legal sense. 1t was done
in every sense. Common sense comes in
there, and that is better than law, al
ways"
One of the references made by ex-Gov-
ernor Robinson was TO the case of Jake
Sharp. Assistant District Attorney
Moody, in replying ou the points made
by Mr.. Robinson, said thatit was not the
duty OF the court, ar which the inquest
was held, to ascertain whether any one
was dead
That was the work of the Medical Ex-
amiDer. That WORK he had done. 1t was
the business of the court to learn when
the deed was committed and by whom
That is what the court was constituted
for.
She was not cautioned by the magis-
trate," said Mr.. Moody, "but her counsel
was told before she went into the room
that he could inform her of her constitu-
tional rights. She conferred with her
counsel. and when she went into that in
quest was fully aware of her constitutional
rights. What she did and said was done
and said voluntarily.
The reason the magistrate did not
warn her of her constitutional rights was
because they had agreed before that it
would not be necessary.
There was nothing to show" the
speaker continued, that the liberty of
Lizzie Borden had been in any way inter-
fered with or restricted. The situation
was for her just as it was for Bridget Sui
livan and the others III the house.
And the fact that the marshal had a
warrant for Miss Borden's arrest did not
alter her position in the least. She could
have been arrested at any moment with
out the warrant"
MISS BORDEN SICK.
While arguments were making Miss
Borden was not in the court room. She
was conducted down to the matron' 3
room on complaint of feeling indisposed
When the argument was ended the
court retired to deliberate on the points
raised.
AT the conclusion of the argument. the
Court unanimously ruled to exclude Miss
Borden's testimony at the inquest.
The decision gives universal satisfac-
ton.

TRENTON, June IL. 1S93.-The Sham
case has gone over until July TO- On that
day Mrs. Matte Shann of Princeton, a
kindly looking woman of fifty years of
age, will be put on trial for ner life. She
is accused of numbering her son, John
Sham. on April is last at Princeton, TO
get the insurance which she had placed
on his life.
The further charge is that when she
heard that al autopsy was to be per-
formed. she either disembowelled the
body herself or hired somebody to do it.
When the Coroner made an autopsy ne
i found but small piece of kidney left,

Mr.. Horatius Barton of Barton & Dawes,

Abbott that the case would not go on to-
day, the learned counsel have come
around to different view of the matter.
Gu that occasion. when MIR. Barton
declared it would not go on. the Court
said that il would. Mr. Barton said he
could not prepare the case in that time.
The Court said he'd nave to or get out of

trial be proceeded with on this day.
But. after thinking the matter over,

words than by violent methods, so ne
went to the Court the other day and
