JUDGE HUDSPEqH SUED
Annie Kampf Wants Damages
From Him and Judge Hof-
man for False I'M
%prisonment.

Annie Kampf has begun suit against
Judges Hudspeth and Hoffman for 5000
damages for false Imprisonment. She
has engaged Counsellor Warren Dixon,
and the subpoena was filed with Sheriff
Toffey this morning, Annie finds cause
for the action in her trial last spring,
when she was convicted of petty larceny
and sentenced to two and a half years
in State Prison. Her counsel will fight
the case on the grounds that the court
was not properly constituted when she
was convicted. Judge Hoffman being
away on a trip to Germany. The State
law of 1868 called for two judges to
constitute the court, but under a later
stitute a court. This point was argued
for over an hour at Annie Kampf's trial
on Monday, and Judge Hoffman was
called to the stand to testify as to his
absence at the time of Armies first trial.
Judge Hudspeth was finally forced to
state from the bench that he admitted
that the court at that time was not prop
erly constituted.
During the trial Judge Hudspeth set
the remarkable precedent of giving evil
dence, while acting as presiding Judge,
Annie KamDf charged Detective Nelson
with making improper proposals to her,
upon which he was sent before the
Grand Jury. Before allowing her to
testify as to the improper proposals.
Judge Hudspeth warned her not to tell
the story or he would tell the jury a
story which would damage her case.
Counsellor Dixon, who represented Annie,
insisted then that she tell her story, and
she did so. Then Judge Hudspeth made
good his threat. Turning to the jury, he
said that he had investigated the charges
against Detective Nelson and from a
private conference with the detective was
prepared to say that the story was abso-
lutely without foundation. On the fol-
lowing morning, when the case was con-
tinued, Counsellor Dixon reminded Judge
Hudspeth of his action. and requested
him to direct the jury to pay no atten-
ton to it. Judge Hudspeth refused to
comply with the request. Judge Huds-
peth's action has furnished food for much
gossip at the Court House during the
mast few DAVIS.

DROWNED DEAD DOGS.
Peculiar Charge Against Hoboken's
POundkeeper.


The Finance Committee of the Hoboken
Common Council met in Mayor Fagan's
office, City Hall, yesterday afternoon,
to consider the charges brought by Sluice
Gatekeeper James O'Boyle against Pound
Master Walter Woods. Woods is paid by
the city fifty cents for every dog he
browns, and O'Boyle said that he bought
lead dogs from Henry Vatchky, the
dead animal man, and soaking them in
water collected fifty cents from the city
for them. Woods is a gentleman OF
color. and when he heard OBoyle'S
charges he asked the Common Council
to investigate them. He also
ed suit against O'Boyle for $1,000 dam
ages for defamation of character.
Mayor Pagan and Councilmen W.einthal
and Snyder attended the investigation:
O'Boyle had a lot of witnesses, all OF
whom shifted around in woods, fa ds
about a month g the dead animal
mans wagon, in charge of Vatchky's
son, drove up and dumped dead dogs
into Woods pound. He saw about %
dead dogs thrown into the pound.
Ex-Poundkeeper Herman Wolff said he
saw lead dogs being thrown into the
Woods were friends, Wolff answered
that they were on medium good terms,
but Woods hadn't. paid him for dogs he
caught. Eight witnesses summoned by
O,Boyle all swore that they never heard
that Woods put dead dogs in the tank.
This made O'Boyle angry, and he re-
minded his friends that they had prom
ised to tell the truth for him. Vatchky
and his son denied that they sold dead
dogs to Woods.
John Henry Sim. a long whiskered
man who lives near the pound, said he
wasn't a friend of Woods because he
had never been treated" by him, ana
he testified that he had never noticed
lifeless dogs taken to Woods institution.
Samuel Hollands, Woods assistant, who
is charged by O'Boyle with drowning
lead dogs, When placed on the stand
denied the allegation and shouted
Hes a liar when he says So
The committee rapidly excused him.
After Mayor Pagan had told the COM
mittee that Wolff had told him at his
home that Woods bought dead dogs,
the hearing was adjourned.
