WILSON PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
The Justice Says He Was Ignorant
Of the Law as to Fees.

Is Suspended.

Hudson County Courthouse, Jersey
CITY. to-day heard the pleas of Justices
Of the Peace, Henry Martinez and Will
lam Wilson. accused. in their official ca
pacity, of extortion and receiving fees
illegally.
Justice Martinez pleaded guilty and
sentence was suspended in his case.
Justice Wilson, through his lawyers,
pleaded not guilty. claiming that II he
had done anything wrong 1t was through
ignorance of the law and that he had re-
turned every cent Of money he had OBJ
tained through his misinterpretation Of
the law, to those to whom 1t belonged.
Decision in his case was reserved.
Winfield =. Weed and Peter Beck the
other Justices accused. have already
been punished by fines
The offense Of this quartet was one Of
the most fragrant ever complained of in
New Jersey. In their judicial capacity
they took advantage of every ignorant
peddler, or costermonger, who was ar
raigned before them, to levy excessive
fines, and then remit the same upon
partial payment, which, II was alleged,
went into their own pockets.
When indicted on such complaints,
the justices claimed that they were en-
titled by law to receive them.

tered the prisoners cell. has placed Il

this morning he was conducted to the
cell of Wallwitz so as to give him an

THEIR CASES CONTINUED.
Chinese Smuggling Trials POST
poned Until September.

The Chinese smuggling cases got into
a snarl this morning and all because
Chinese Inspector Scharf OF the Custom
House, appealed to Assistant United
States District-Attorncy Mott to con-
tinue as many OF them as possible to
next September. Mr.. Mott agreed to do
so and the first case on the docket that
OF Mark Shue. was adjourned to Sept q.
When the case of Lew How, accused of
accepting bride to make false afii-
davit, was called. Inspector Scharf in
sisted on an immediate trial. Mr.. Mott
looked surprised.
You said p while ago you wanted the
cases continued said Mott.
Not this one" answered Scharf
say you did"
That is not true" said Scharf. with
emphasis.
II say It is true" snapped back Mott.
You don't know one minute what you
say the next"
We'll. here, I'll stop all this" inter-
posed Commissioner Shields. This case
viii be tried at o'clock this afternoon.
and II the Government isn't ready I'll
discharge the defendant"
As the criminal branch OF the United
States Circuit Court does not sit until
Oct. 10, and the Cinnamon are all out on
bail, there does not seem to be any par
ticuar hurry why the examinations
should not be adjourned until September.
