The Court Gives Its Reasons for Isefus-
ing an Additional Bill of Particulars.
Special to The Jersey Citg Neros.
TRENTON, June II, 1S93.-As briefly
outlined in yesterdays JERSEY CITY
NEWS, Judge Albeit. when asked by
counsel for NJ RS. Sham. who is on trial
on the charge of having poisoned her son,
for an additional bill of particular. re-
fused the request of Barton & Dawes,
Mrs. Shann's counsel. the Judge claiming
thai the bill already rendered is suf1-
cient.
Upon the further consideration of the
case u short conference was held among
the Judges.
Judge Albeit gave the result of their
conclusion. He first recounted the diff
ferent proceedings in the case and the
reasons which led the Court TO take the
course it had. He then went on TO say:-
at is the opinion OF the Court that 1t
was not expressed, nor was IL the inteu-
ton of tho Court, that the State should
give up or apprise the defense OF the evil
dence to be given. The particular state
menI is that murder WAS accomplished
by mercuriRl poisoning administered by
the defendant to her son. As to whether
it was an acute or chronic case OF Doison-
ing was a matter, SO far as the Court Is
aware, that is unknown to the State. The
Court asked the prosecutor iii an analysis
was In the hands of the State and Was fn-
formed that 1t possessed no such evil
dence, The Court would nav been in
cltued, If tile State had in its possession
any analysis by Psychologists, to have a
copy given the defendants, but it has
none.
sThe Court is unanimously of the
opinion that no harm can come TO the
defense by standing OH the bill OF par
Giculars served, for the reason that the
State must prove chat the deceased came
to his death by doses which mad The
operative effect of mercuriAl poisoning.
II does NOT matter what other elements
enter into the case. The counsel the
defendant herself may rest assured that
she will have a fair trial. 1t ut any time
she fiads she is treated unfairly. We will
fiud some way to remedy It. Tbs Court
is unanimously of the opinion that the
bill OF particulars shall stand as served.
II the State obtain possession OF any
written statement of analysis we will
advise that iJ be servel on The de-
fendant.'
MIR. Barton wanted to know how the
matter stood in regard TO the right given
id the order to the State to amend the
bill. The Court replied that IL any new
violence was obtained by the State re-
curing II to amend the bill. ample time
would be given the defense 10 preJare-
In The meantime the State was bound to
show murder by mercuriai poisoning.

HARMONY ONCE MORE.
But Members of the Thiesen 0rches-
ira Oppose Their Leaders
Reelection.

Harmony once more reigns supreme in
residents OF Greenville are dancing with
joy now that their pet musical organlza-
ton is no longer threatened with disrup-
ton. The discord which characterized
the last few meetings and rehearsals has
entirely disappeared aud with the burial
of the war axes comes the assurance that
every member IS satisfied aud that all are
as loving as brothers.
Leader Thiesen has effected an AMIGA
bic settling of the difficulties by issuing
u proclamation to the effect that members
wishing TO play ut charitable concerts
can do SO at all Times aud without inter-
ference from him. The members who
played at the Grace p. E. church concert
q few weeks ago in violence TO Mr..
Thiesen's order are perfectly satisfied
at the turn OF affairs and Will not resign
from the organization. They wanted 10
retain the privilege to play at cnar5laole
affairs whenever they desired to do so,
and now that Leader Tiliesen has as
sured them that this privilege will never
be taken from them, they Will remain,
and. as one of them said, manifest more
enthusiasm than ever" They say. how
ever, that at the next election they will
40 all that lies in their power to defeat
MI. 1utcSCus oiOalh h0
/ come a candidate for reelection.
I'VE have returned to the orchestra, "
said one of these members, "only in order
to perpetuRte the organization. We have
come to the conclusion that the best plan
for us TO adopt would be to return and
lay low until next fail when the annual
election of officers will be held. Ihen
when Mr.. Thiesen comes out for re-elec-
etion we will knock him out. We do not
wish to have it understood that we are at
peace with Mr., Thiesen. We are
not. We still claim that he
does not devote the time he
should to our orchestra. He gives
the best part OF his time to the uvenile
orchestra, which he has organ ized. aud
neglects US. We want TO be advanced as
we'll as the juveniles. All we ask is to
be treated fairly. We will cause no fur
ther trouble until the election and then,
il we are defe ated. we will resign In q
body"
Mr.. Georg Q Schentz. the violinist. when
interviewed by a reporter of che JERSEY
CITY NEWS said: There is no trouble
whatever in the orchestra. One or "
members have been shouting against MI.
Thieseu, but the majority uf the MEN,
bers stand by Mr.. Tniesen. We are not
dissatisfied with him as a leafer, and |
am certain that if he was put up Tor re-
election today that he would be elected
by a handsome majority"
Mr.. G. r. Cox, VINO played at the
church concert, SAID:
.sThere is no tsonple now, and / do
not believe that the orchestra will suffer
the loss of any member. Although l be.
lieve that Mr.. Thiesen mad no right TO or
der us not to play at the CONCERT, still l
will not cause any trouble by complain
ing"
The orchestra will hold an invitation
concert, followed by II dance within II few
days, and not nutii then Will it be known
whether or not the members have buried
all their grievances.

ODD FELLOWS ORPHANS.
Still Discussing the Availability
of a Site for the Home.

Nearly one hundred and fifty delegates.
representing over forty lodges In the

ing of the Odd Fellows OrDhanage Asso-
citation, held in the Fischer Building In

1t was anticipated by some that the
selection of a site for the proposed
o~rphanage building would be made.
At u recent meeting OF the associatlon.
held in Trenton. after a somewhat bitter
contest, it was agreed that the Tucson

tied TO the choice of sites for The building.
The Hudson branch began WORK at once,
1t appointed a committee whose uuty II
was 10 make an inspection or all avail
able sites for such a building In hudson.
Notwithstanding the action OF the State
association at the Trenton convention
there was still manifested at yesterdays

jealousy on the part OF delegates who
favored the location of the building
within the confines of their own local
bsiliwicks.
Cnairman Bernstein of the Committee
on Site, reported that his
was still at work investigating the sites
suggested; that over seventy sites had
been examined and all but five or six re-
iected. Mr.. Bernstein could not tell
when the committee would be able TO
make a final report. The COMMITTEES is
cautious.
Delegates from Long Branch. Rah-
way, Newark, Paterson and other places
still spoke in FAVOR of locating the build
ing in their respective towns.
The Hudson branch of The association
has nearly So, 500 for the buildin G fund in
its possession. AS soon as the site Ia
selected the various branches Will turn
over TO the treasurer Of the State associ-
