VERY RESPECTFULLY.
THE "ENTERPRISE,"
1885 South Laurel St.

Mingin also had Green write him let
ter to Mrs. Bowers, offering her $40 to
get Stella Biddle to lie in her testimony,
and If he was cleared, he would give her
$40 more.
This concluded the case, and it was
given to the jury. Mr.. Logue stepped
aside from his usual logical reasoning
and demanded conviction. For the first
time since he has been attorney for the
State, Mr.. Logue used this sort of lam
guage: "There is no alternative in this
case, under the evidence in my opinion,
but conviction, and the facts are so ap-
parent that it would be gross miscar-
riage of justice if he was allowed to go
free.''
Court room who have heard these four
despicable cases, when Prosecutor Logue
moved the case of the State against Els
worth Cheesman, charged with assault
and battery. Cheesman has been on bail,
and when he was called failed to appear.
Mr.. Logue then ordered his bail forfeited,
and Crier Clevenstine recited this little
piece three times in succession:
Ellsworth Cheesman come forth and
appear, as this day you are bound to do,
and answer to an indictment lately found
against you. or your default will be re-
corded"
Then this was ratified off three times
by the crier:
Samuel Cheesman come forth and
appear, and produce the body of Els
worth Cheesman, as this day you are
bound to do, or your default will be re-
corded"
This is an old English law custom and
prevails to-day as centuries ago.
Robert McGuiggan was called to
answer to charge of assault and bat
terry, but did not appear, and his bail
was formally declared forfeited. His
father, Michael McGuiggan, was bonds
man.
Gasgone Vondeloop came in from Jail
charged with assault and battery upon
Geo. Clark. The facts of the case were
in very brief compass. Vondeloop and
Clark were out in Vineland woods last
July cutting timber. A dispute arose
and in the meelee Vondeloop cut Clark
in the head with knife.
The defense was self defense. Vonde-
loop being afraid, he said, that Clark
would hit him with an ak.

week remained unbroken, until the

Attorney Mitchell Files Suits for Damages

On Monay afternoon John S. Mitchell,

assault case was called. Three convic-
tlons on Tuesday We're returned by the
Jury, and to-day three more, with an ac-
quittal
Harry Golf was convicted of rape in
short order, and the verdict in the case of
BENZ. Mingin was guilty, after the jury
had been out but few moments.
Nondeloop was quickly acquitted of
assault.
John Sommers and Charles Platt came
in from Jail, retraced their plea of not
guilty, and pleaded guilty to petty
larceny.
Milton Duftield and John A. Clark,
both under bail, failed to appear and
their surities were forfeited. The bonds
men were Walter B. Terrell and John S.
Clark.
Burroughs Eldridge was put upon
trial charged with stealing silk dress in
company with Elsie Craig, from young
woman named Addie West.
The dress was valued at eighteen
dollars and the evidence was to the effect
that Elsie Craig threw the dress from the
window and it was carried off by Eld-
ridge, and was afterward found at Eld-
ridges house ON Mulberry street. Elsie
Craig has already pleaded guilty to steal
ing the dress.
Eldridge made no defense and the jury
promptly convicted him.
Thursday Morning.
Ellsworth Cheesman, of Millville, whose
bail yesterday was fortified, appeard in
Court this morning, and he was immedi-
ately put upon trial, charged with assault
with felonious intent upon Mrs. Ida
Biggs, also of that town.
1t was in the early evening of the fifth
of June last when the assault occurred, as
the testimony of Mrs. Biggs shows. She
was in lonely part of Millville when
Cheesman came from behind some
bushes, caught her from behind and at
tempted to throw her to the ground. His
clothing was disarranged, and his inten-
tions were evident.
Mrs. Biggs never knew Cheesman be-
fore but the next day she went to his
shop and he was sitting in the store.
When he saw her enter he ran in the back
room and sent his mother in the store to
wait upon Mrs. Biggs. She then had
him arrested,
The testimony was corroborated to
considerable extent by other witnesses.
Cheesman was defended by Wheaton

Arrangements for the Beginning of the
Work.
Work with probably begin upon the
new county Jail building next week. The
changes in the building proper will be
made by VIM G. Whitekar & Co., and
will very quickly be finished.
The grand jury room in the Court
House, will be fitted up for the men
prisoners, and another room in the Court
House will be used for the women. The
Jail Warden will be in constant atten-
dance during the day time, and watch

MIR. CLEVELAND'S LETTER.

If President Cleveland had shown
some interest in preventing party de-
moralization" when he was pursuing
his plan of running rough-shod over
party platforms and the counsel OF
trusted party leaders, his new appeal
to the Democracy would fall upon
listening ears.
The party has been routed and de-
moralized by Mr.. Cleveland's policy,
and the only hope Of future success
lies in repudiating the financial meas
ures and actions OF the administration.
The people believe the Democrats
ought to stand for a better financial
system than the Republicans furnish
ed, and will not be deferred from re
pudiating the gold ideas even when a
Democrat seeks to force it upon them.
The President is responsible for
present party decentralization" Safety
is found elsewhere.
