PATERSON. Dec. A, 1S96-Governor
Griggs was hard at work this morning,
in his office in this city, when I called
upon him and asked If he remembered
Sister Rosalie and her application to
have John Clifford placed in the New
York Institution for the Blind. He said
ne did, and when l asked him why the
request was not granted he said:-
We are so overwhelmed with these
applications that we have to exercise the
greatest caution in order that the State
may not be defrauded. Some parents de-
string to have their blind children placed
In some institution at the States expense
and thus rid themselves of the expense
and care of maintaining such children
will resort to all sorts Of subterfuge to
accomplish that end. So we have to ex-
anime all such cases most carefully. I
have written more letters on this subject
since l have been Governor than on any
other. Sometimes we. find that the chill
dren who apply to us are not entitled
to the States aid, that their parents are
not citizens or residents of this State.
There have been cases in Hudson where
the parents actually lived in New York,
and sending their blind children across
titS ii'SA NAVE HitluS application 10 nave
their children maintained at the States
expense. There have been similar cases
in Camden, where Philadelphia people
have tried to foster the afflicted children
on the State.
When, therefore, this application
came to me I was not satisfied with the
statements of Sister Rosalie, and I wrote
her letter asking for more definite in
formation concerning the boy. particular
ly as to his parentage and residence. The
reply which 1 received was still unsatis-
factory. and commitment was not made.
| knew nothing about the boy, the insti-
tuition or Miss Grant. I supposed that
she was the Sister Rosalie she signed
herself, and anything connected with her
or her home had nothing to do with the
cas-" "
In reply to my question as to who was
the proper person to apply to the courts
to have the boy physically examined. to
see If the story of his severe beatings
were true, the Governor after looking
up the law, said+"The Grand jury 1t
was the duty of that body, he said, to
inquire into such cases. They could send
their officers to the Home or go there
themselves and examine it, They could
compel Miss Grant to produce the chill
dren before them to be examined by a
physician, in order to see if there were
any evidences of the severe whippings
which Clifford says they received.

FAILED TO SEE JOHN.
Miss Grant Refused to Allow
!, Henry Clifford to Talk
Alone With His Brother.

When Henry Clifford, brother Of John,
called at the Home yesterday, Miss
Grant positively refused to permit him
to see his brother except in her presence.
Henry lives with his uncle, Thomas J.
Clifford, at No. 703 First street, Hoboken.
To News reporter he said
Il went to the Home to inquire about
the ill-treatment of my brother. wanted
to see John privately and have talk
with him about IT, Miss Grant is well
acquainted with me. as previous to last
March l used to call regularly at the
Home to visit John When | asked her
If / could see my brother privately she
said: No, you cannot; what you have to
say to your brother you will have to say
in my presence Is my brother in the
houses? 1 asked Yes, he is upstairs in
his ROOM she said. Can't l go up and
see him?' I asked. No. was her answer.
Then Miss Grant said she would allow
my brother to see me. but that she would
not leave the room l told her that what
l wanted to say to my brother l wanted
to say to him privately and that she had
no right to interfere. She then became
angry at my remark and told me that
my brother could not be seen by anyone,
so I left the house without seeing him.
Henry said last night that he had UNDER
stood that his brother had been removed
from the Home" by Lawyer Charles J..

PAUL GEMS APPEAL.
Gilber, Collins Argues for the MUIR
derer Before the Court of Errors.
Special to the Jersep Citu Ncau


TRENTON, Dec. 4. 1Sss.-The Court of
Errors and Appeals is today engaged in
hearing an argument by Lawyer Gilbert
Collins of Jersey City on a motion for a
new trial for Paul GEM of Hudson coun-
ty, a German who killed his sweetheart
Clara Arnir, and was convicted of mur-
der Mr.. Collins, in his argument, de-
elared that numerous errors were COM
mitted during the trial, including the ad-
mission of improper evidence and the re-
fusal of the Judge to charge as requested.
He made a special point of tine fact that
the Judge charged that if the
jury found the defendan. was
by reason of any disease of
the mind incapable of distinguishing be-
tween right and wrong. they must acquit
him. He held that the prisoner could be
convicted under such instruction in the
charge as 1t implied that If Genz was in
sane and yet capable of disting uishing
between right and wrong he was guilty
The contention on this point is that if he
did know the difference he was incapable
of knowing the right.
Prosecutor sWinfield opposed the motion
He commended that the Gaze was properly
tried and that the judges rulings were
all correct.
Upon the decision in this case rests
the fate of John Mackin, also of Hudson
county He was likewise convicted of

CARDINAL The DEFENDANT
Bartholomew Long Wants Estate
His Brother Left to the Church.
He Takes Exceptions to the Word
Ing of the Test ament AS Vague
and Indefinite.

Bartholomew Long, brother OF the late
Jeremiah Long, VINO left a will dated
December 22, 1894, has brought suit for
the construction OF that VIII against Card
NAL James Gibbons, Father Gloyd OF st.
Patrick's Church. Father Gillespie OF ST.
Aloysius Church, Father John C. Long
or New York, and Thomas L. Waggaman
and William +. Carne, as trustee and ex-
ecutor respectively. He also calls upon
the trustee for an accounting.
Jeremiah Long died January IL, 1895,
leaving his brother as his sole heir-at la W.
In his will, Mr.. Long left the house and
lot, at No S1S Third street northwest,
TO Fathers Gloyd and Gillespie, with M
and profits for "the education and train
ing 10 a useful life, of INDECENT children
i'll the District. IL for any reason that
bequest should prove imperative then he
devised the property TO Cardinal Gibbons.
The petitioner in the pending suit be-
lieves that the former bequest is invalid i,
because OF its indefintenesS and that the
alternative disposition of the property TO
Cardinal Gibbons is equally Invalid, be-
cause it is to minister, public teacher
or preacher OF the gospel, as SUCH and
was made within less than month before
the testator died. Mr. Long thinks that a
resulting trust should fall 10 him as the
surviving heir-at-law.
Bartholomew Long asserted TIL he
helped TO pay for the house under consider
alton. By the will house and lot at the
corner of Fourth and H streets northwest,
is given to Father Long of New York, and
Mr. Long said this was also an invalid
bequest, because of the profession Of the
legatee. The brother was given only
$500 i'm the will.
