candidate. in the matter Of furnishing copies OF
the registry llsts?" This question brought
about some sparrng between the counsel, and
II was finally ruled out. Mr.. Shepard asked
Justice Newton whether he had ever been re-
ouested to furnish to Arson NJ. Stratton. the
Gravesend member OF the Republican General
Committee copy Of the registry roll With
the experience OF John Y. McKane on Saturday
last In connection with affidav!ts Justice New
ton was naturally alert. Mr.. Shepard had ut
tered the word affidavit and subsequently pro-
ducel one Then he asked whether the wit
ness remembered having drawn an affidavit to
this effect and the Gravesend Justice said that
he recoected "something about It,, but he
wanted to read the affidavit so that he might be
able to tell better" The remark caused
laughter in the courtroom. Mr. Shepard was
obliging and gave him the document for scrutiny,
and the acknowledgement resulted that he had
promised to get Mr.. Stratton a copy OF the lists.
Justice Newton retired from the chair evidently
under the sense of positive relief His experience
had not been conducive 10 comfort, and toward
the last his manner was characterized by much
embarrassment.
JUSTICE SUTHERLAND TO THE STAND
Kenneth F. Sutherland. Justice of the Peace
then took his place on the stand. His testimony
was comparatively valueless He took occasion
TO declare with much conciseness, that Mr.
Mcnamara was drunk when he visited Graves
end In charge OF Mr.. Gaynor's copyists. He
said that Mcnamara drunk that had to
be helped on to the car by Charles E. Norris
and insisted that all the members Of the party
were in about the same condition.
The witness said that he had made no investi-
CATION into the charges against the men arrested.
but that he had simply ordered the prison van
and bundled them into 1t for commitment to the
Jail. General Tracy pointed out that number

OF men had been committed and for each COM
mitment 50 cents a head was paid to the magis-
trate But Justice Sutherland said he wasn't
anxious about fees. He said 1t was not custom
arv to fix the amount OF bail in the commit
ments.
Didn't you know. when you left the amount
Of the bail blank, that no other justice couid

The drawers had been pulled out of the bureau
In the room. ana the contents were scattered
all over the floor. The burglars had rummaged
through everything and searched every nook and
