POLICY GASES DISPOSED OF.

A number of policy cases were disposed of
yesterday afternoon in the Court of Sessions.
John Hogan of No. 211 Washington street,
pleaded guilty and will probably be sentenced
tomorrow. Henry Faber of No. 422 Adams
street, Hoboken, was acquitted of the charge
of keeping policy shop, the proof being in
sufficient. Catherine Bliske and her husband
of No. 800 Monroe street, Hobo1en, were
both tried for the same offense. It was
shown that Catherine conducted a policy
business while her husband worked in New
Y FORK and she was convicted and he was ac-
quilted. William Schomocher of Griffith
street was also convicted of the charge of
keeping a policy shop. George Dewitt and
George Lipke were tried with him, but it
was SO clear that they had nothing to do with
the business that the Prosecutor asked for
the acquital of the two men In summing
up the case, Counsellor Norman L. Rowe de-
nounced the practice of the police in sehding
children into policy shops to make plays for
the purpose of securing evidence. He said it
was criminal for these policemen to teach
children to gamble

HAD BEEN SHOT FROM BEHIND.
Testimony To-day in the ArdlamOnt
Mystery Case.
By Gable to the United Press

EDINBURGH, Dec. 20, 1s93.-The defence
of Alfred John Monson, indicted for the
murder of Lieutenant Hambrough, sub
mitted further evidence today to the fifteen
men who compose the jury The court
room was filed as usual To those not
acquainted with Scotch criminal procedure
it may not be uninteresting to point out that
a jury in Scotland must agree upon ver-
dict. Fifteen jurors are chosen and a bare
| majority gives verdict-guilty, not guilty
or not proved. If either of the last two YER
diets is given the accused is set free.
The first witness called today was Dr.
Matthew Hay, Professor of Medical Juris-
prudence at the Aberdeen University. He
testified as to the results of experiments he
made with two guns, one of twenty and the
other of twelve bore. These expert
ments were made ON skins and the
bodies of horses. DR.. Hay said he had
visited Ardlamont and examined the shot
marks on the trees in the covert, where the
body of Lieutenant Hambrough was found
In his opinion, these marks were two or three
months old at the time he examined them
Some of them were covered with partial
growth of bark. His visit was made
five weeks after Lieutenant Hambrough's
death. He thought the shot marks were in
no way connected with the fatality. He
concluded from his observations that the
caused by gun that had been fired from
point fifty or sixty feet away. The spread
of the shot would have been reduced if they
had first struck a head. The infer
ence of the witnesses for the crown,
that the shot had been fired from
point twenty-five feet distant was worth
less. The witness said he was unable to re-
concile the position in which the body was
said to have been found with the theory that
Lieutenant Hambrough had been shot from
gap in the hedge, for the body would fall
in contrary direction from the hedge, and
the head would have been where the feet
were. The bleeding from gunshot wound
was slow. 1t would have been possible to
have carried the body without soiling the
clothing. The pieces of bone and the gun
wad found on the dyke might have fallen
while the body was being carried. The wit
ness saw large hole ON the fatal spot, which
formed almost trap on the top of the
dyke. He had examined the skull of the
deceased, and believed that he had been
shot from behind, the shot going in an up
ward Hirartiap

SHARK L0EFFLER CONVICTED
Two other HObOken Cases Engage
the Courts Affention

The policy cases were continued today in
the Court of General Sessions and the first
man to be tried was Charles Loetfier, an old
time offender who did business at No. All
Third street. 1t had been rumored that
Loeffier would, if tried, hand up the secrets
OF the policy game and place the Court in
possession of the names of the hackers of the
game. The rumor was a false one for Loeffier
did not take the witness stand at ALL He
was, however, very troublesome while his
case was being tried.
Detective Quinn testified that he watched
Loefiers place for six days and then arrested
him when he was about to get ON street
car. Quinn said that men, women and
children played policy in Loetfier's den, and
that when the arrest was made Loeffier ex-
claimed:-
II wish to God could drop deadl"
Quinn further said that Loeffler offered
him ten dollars not to be hard on him, but
the detective made the surprising remark
"You haven't got money enough to buy
me, Charley. This business has got to be
stopped"
When Quinn had given this remarkable
testimony Loeffier interrupted the proceed
ings by exclaiming:-
SsYou lie, court or no eourtp and turning
to Judge Hudspeth, he said, ''This man has
committed perjury
The Court commanded Loeffier to remain
quiet The jury found Loeffier guilty
The next case tried was that of David and
Marco Garrick, whose place of business was
alleged to be at Fifth and Adams streets.
Among the witnesses in the case against
them were Mrs. Noble and her daughter
Emma Noble. The latter is a girl about
fifteen years old, very pretty and evidently
precocious. Fanny Noble, another pretty
daughter, whose age was not more than
IL, corroborated the testimony of her mother
and sister and said she had played policy

denied that she was known in Hoboken as

eclisped all the Others and when THE NEWS
man entered the rooms the vision of lowell
ness that met his gaze almost took his breath
away.
Although the fair properly ended on Sat
urday night, it was decided to keep it going
until last evening and then auction off ali
the articles that remain unsold. Mr. James

succeeded in securing good prices for every
thing that was put up. A number of promi-
nent city officials were present.
In the contest for the most popular Alder
man the votes piled in right up until the
polls were closed, when it was found that
Alderman Richard Lahey had won the
handsome silver pitcher. He received 152
votes, just two more than Alderman Nc
Coobely, who received $50 votes.
The voting was even more close in the con-
test for the most popular club man, the gold
headed cane going to Principal Sweeney of
the High School The result at the close
was, Principal Sweeney, 14l; Principal JOS
lin, 40; Director J. M. Jones, 49, The sew
ing machine donated to the fair by the Sin
ger Sewing Machine Company was not dis
posed off, as the subscription books are not
yet filed. The ladies in charge expect to
secure the balance in few days and the
winner of the machine will be announced
from the rooms of the Teachers Club at No.
340 Grove street.
The proceeds of the fair will result in adj
ding nearly 5000 to the Golfers of the club

BROOKLYN, NY, Dec. 90, 1898. George
B. Boyton, the American accused of having
tried to blow up Mello's warship, Aquidaban,
in Rio harbor, who was brought to the Navy
Yard last evening from the Sirius, has been
released. He was let go on parole, but Com
mandant Admiral Gherardi says he knows
where to find Boynton if he should want
him.
When Boynton arrived at the Navy Yard
at about six O'Clock last night he was guarded
by Ensign James T.. Carter, of the United
States cruiser Detroit. As the officials at
the Navy Yard had received no instructions
as to what to do with Boynton, Admiral
Gherardi was sent for. He was as greatly
perplexed as his subordinates. So he wired
to Secretary of the Navy Herbert
The answer came last night and directed
the Admiral to release Boyton on parole.
The Navy Yard officials say that Boynton
was outspoken in denouncing his arrest, and
he declared that be was gong to bring suit
