There was large attendance this
morning IN Municipal Court, as It WAS
understood that Richard q. Howard
brother Of Rsv J ii Howard, OF Asbury
NJ \. Church, would be- arraigned on
charge Of violating the law relative to
the age Of consent. The case was called
and City Solicitor Elliott moved for a
continuance until Tuesday, on the
ground that the evidence relative TO the
age OF Mary Hill, the prosecuting wit
ness, WAS not the best The chief Of
police had secured a oertihsd copy OF the
records Ia Norristown, but the citv
solicitor decided that the records them
selves were the best evidence and time
was needed to secure them
w. =. Pritcbett, the counsel for the
Law and Order Society ana also for
Howard. insisted that the case 20 on. He
said that there had been plenty Of op
poftunity and time for the securing Of
ali necessary evidence The warrant
was eworn out before noon yesterday aud
Howard was arrested at that time. There
should have been plenty OF time for
the state to work this business
up and had due diligence been used the
case could now be tried. He was
opposed to the using Of officers of the
state 10 Hkirmish other states for evil
dsnce fos the defanss The defendant
had been to considerable expense TO get
ready and should not be required to
wait.
Judge Ball said that the usage OF the
courts was to allow a eontinuRnce for
tha purpose Of perfeeting the evidence
II the state was compelled to so TO trial
and use the certificate as sent the prose-
cution an objection would be made and
