WANTS THE INDICTMENT QUAsHED

Counsellor Corbin's Appeal for the s.
and w. Commissioners.
Judge Lippincott, at nine O'Clock this
morning. listened to an argument made by
Charles l.. Corbin to nave the indictments
against the Street and Water Commissioners
quashed. The trial of these alleged male
factors had been set down for next Tuesday,
but the Commissioners would like to lave it
delayed.
In his argument Mr.. Corbin insisted that
the indictment should be quashed for the
reason that the face of the Indictment did
not show an indictable offense. Mr.. Corbin
quoted law to support this objection. When
he had finished his argument to quash, Mr..
Corbin notified the Court that if the indict-
ment was not quashed he would apply for a
writ of certiorori and nave the decision of
the Court reviewed by the Supreme Court
in banc.
The lawyer also requested the Court to
postpone the trial of the Commissioners for
some time, if the motion to quash should be
denied. He said the case was of unusual i'm
portance and he required time for prepare
ton for the defense.
Evidently the Street and Water Commits
sioners fear to be confronted by Sheriff Tof
fey's petit jury, for Counsellor Corbin made
application for a struck jury, providing the
Indictment was not quashed.
Prosecutor Winfield opposed the motion
to quash the indictments, and in his forcible
manner declared that the indictments were
drawni in strict conformance with the law.
He also said that he would not interpose any
objection to a delay for q reasonable time
for the trial day if the Court refused to
quash, and be did not make any objection to
a struck jury being ordered. Judge Lip
pincott reserved his decision.

$4,000.

SlVsOuUs
The Dempsey-Everson fight for character,
now being carried on in the New York
courts, and which is attracting SO much at
~tention, is interesting to the residents of
this city. The Dempseys are well known in
this city, having resided here a number OF
years ago. The counsel in the case are also
two well-known Jerseymen, namely, Allan
L. McDermott and ex-Assemblyman George
A.. Heaney. Miss Lavina Dempsey has on
more thar one occasion been brought to pub
lie notice. She was the central figure In the
famous Dempsey will contest, which was
fought in the courts of this State three years
ago. and which attracted the attention OF
the whole country.
Miss Demsey, in her present case. charges
her brothers typewriter, Miss Emma l..
Everson, with stealing her pocketbook. She
had her searched and arrested, but nothing
was found, and the young woman was re-
leased. And now the pretty typewriter has
~retaliated by bringing suit for $4,000 for
false imprisonment. The Dempsey brothers,
Jay c. and John Bird, nave a room on the
third floor of the Stewart building.
Miss Dempsey was arrested and locked up
in the Ludlow street Jail. Her brothers
agreed to sign her bail bond of $1,000. but
she refused their assistance. Her counsel.
Allan McDermott, went to see her before
ten o'clock this morning, and the two were
closeted together for some time. At the
Sherif's office it was said that Mr.. McDer-
mott expects to file the bail bonds today.
and that as soon as that is o an order
would be issued for her release.

A bank account is a great con-
venience to a business man, because
it enables him to make his payments
by check. A savings bank allows in
terest on deposits left in bank for six
months, but will not allow the de-

The New Jersey Title Guarantee and

Philadelphia, is accused of forging paper to
the extent of S25, 600. The names of ex-Gov-
erncr E.. E. Jackson of Maryland, Hamilton
Disston of Philadelphia, and George Cotton
of this city were used for the purpose of SCI
curing bank accommodation. Ex-Governor

spicuous figure in and about Maryland for
some years. He has acted as the agent OF

claimed commissions of 30 per cent. on the
direct tax refunded by the Government in
1892. The claim amounted to Sill 600.
Mr.. Wales brought suit for the amount in
Circuit Court for Anne Arundel county and
in the Court of Appeals. but lost the case IN
both courts. a bill to pay him this amount
was introduced in the late Legislature, but it
was family reduced to $20, 900, which sum
was paid to him out of the State Treasury.

E POLICE WORK.
Enticed a Confidence Man Across the
River and Nabbed Him.

HE AtttcE A1AW
Detectives Kilcauley and Doyle. after four
days hard work, last night landed a slippery
crook. About one week ago Jimmy Rossi
of Twenty-ffth street and Avenue B, Bay
onne, an Italian padrone, complained to
Chief Murphy that two men, representing
themselves to be agents of a big Connecticut
construction company, had obtained sl94
from him under the pretence OF getting him
a contract to supply Workmen 10 the con-
struction company.
Rossi said the men gave their names as
Benny Pease of No. 80 Cherry street, New
York, and M. J.. Murphy. Murphy. Pease
alleges, represented himself to him to be q
member Of the firm Of J. r. Benson & Co.
Italian laborers, as he had a contract to con-
struct a big dam at Waterbury, Ccnnecti-
cut. Pease communicated with Rossi and
arranged a meeting between the latter n
Murphy. At various times Murphy de-
manded money, and Rossi, up to
q week eek. , sgo' h had given Ev,nhv h and P slss,
d dba eaSe tsif Ross NV Went to Connecticut,
and upon learning that Murphy had no con-
nection with ]. r. Brown 81 Co. and that
the company had no contract to build q
dam, placed the matter in the hands of the
police.
Detectives Kilcauley and Doyle located
Please in New York, but Murphy eyaded
them on all occasions. Yesterday Chief
Murphy directed Rossi to write to Pease
and arrange a meeting on Exchange place,
this city, with a view to resuming business
relations.
Pease was fooled by the letter, and last
night met Rossi near Taylor's Hotel. The
matter of the contract was discussed, and
Rossi paid him SIS, the number of which the
Chief had taken and which was also marked.
Pease was about to recross the ferry when
he was arrested.
This morning, when arraigned before JUS
tice O'Donnell, he attempted to throw all the
blame on Murphy. Justice ODonnel COM
mitted him to await the action OF the Grand
jury. Chief Murphy believes Murphy to be
a confidence man and Pease to be his accom-
plice. It is thought probable that Murphy
will be arrested by the New York police.
