He Is the Justice Who Convicted
Leah

Justice of the Peace Christian Geiger
was a prisoner yesterday afternoon in
the Court of Special Sessions before
Judges Hudspeth and Kenny. He is
charged witt conspiring in that dis
graceful case of Harry Leonar of Bay
onne and Leah Bernard. which made
such a sensation in this city some weeks
ago. Leonard induced the woman to
come over from New York to Taylor's
Hotel in order that he might furnish her
husband evidence wherewith to procure
a divorce. The police are looking for
Leonard. They nabbed Geiger, who is
accused of assisting Leonard in COM
hitting the woman TO Jail.
When Robert J Murphy. a liquor dealer

DISTRICT COURTS TO GO
Legislature to Pass a Bill Pro-
viding for One County Court
to Take Their Place.

A we'll known lawyer of his city, who
is well informed on all matters pertain
ing to Republican partisan politics in
this State stated to a reporter of THE
Jersey City News that the sword which
has been hanging by a hair for some
time over the heads of the District Court
Judges in the State, will surely fall
when the next Legislature meets. "a
bill abolishjng the courts will be passed
beyond doubt" said he, and a promin-
ent lawyer of the city is now preparing
a bill which will create one court for
Hudson and Essex counties. This court
is to hold a session every day and is
to be located in a central section of the
county. 1t will nave jurisdiction over all
civil cases Involving not more than $500.
an increase of $160, with. appeals as at
present to the Common Pleas.
IN THE INTEREST OF ECONOMY.
The bill is Intended to be in the interest
of economy. The new court with daily
sessions will be a decided COW auiense
to lawyers. Judge Puster's Court is at
present the only one doing business to
any extent. The other two courts have
very little to do. A county court open
all the work of the county without any
inconvenience.
At present there are three Judges in
the county, each drawing a salary of
5000. The Clerks receive 81, 500 each,
and the Sergeants-at-Arms divide 81, 900
annually. In Judge Puster's Court there
is also al Assistant Clerk. There are
three separate court rooms, making three
rent bills. The complete cost of the
three courts is about 5000 in addition
to the rent, printing and other expenses.
amounting in all to about $25, 900 an
nually. If the new bill goes through
and iNcertainly will, it will provide for
the appointment of a Judge at a salary
of $1,000, a Clerk at a salary of 81, 000, and
an Assistant Clerk at a salary of 81, 600,
and printing will not exceed $14, 600 an
nually, a saving of nearly fifty per cent.
OF SPECIAL VALUE.
Such a court will be of special value
to lawyers, because small cause practice
will be centered in one place as it should
be. The daily sessions of the court will
also be a great accommodation especially
when short a"djournments are wanted or
required. Short adjournments are not
Three courts are not required, the bus
mess being not heavy enough to warrant
the expense. The sessions at Judge Nc
Grath's Court are seldom longer than
two hours and the average time con-
sumed by Judge Puster's Court is about
fou hours. The total average of the
courts is about sixteen hours a week,
and one court opene ach day could certain
ly put in 16 hours in a week. OF course
tent by local party workers who would
like a berth as District Court Judge, but
this opposition will not be strong enough
to defeat it,"
