H0B0KEN's WONDERFUL RECORDER
Kruser Acquitted Of False Pretences
in a Remarkable Deal.

A case which was sent up from Re-
corder McDorloughis court was noble
pressed in the Special Sessions Court
this morning. 1t was a remarkable case
even for Recorder McDonough's court.
Frederick Kruser of No. IS First street,
New York, had been committed to the
County Jail by the Recorder on COM
paint of Herman Muehl of No. 1888
Bloomfield street, Hoboken, who charged
him with obtaining money under false
pretences. Muehl was deeply enamored
of Bertha Wendt, a pretty waiter girl
in a New York restaurant, and Bertha
apparently reeiprocated his affection. An
evil day came, however, when Bertha
was introduced to Kruser. After that
the tickle young woman had no further
use for Muehl. He was altogether too
slow.
Kruser was fond of pleasure and his
veins were filled with sporting blood.
He took Bertha everywhere. to theatres
and p1cnics and all sorts of places where
enjoyment could be had Muehl pinned
Bertha to return to him, but Bertha
thought she was doing better and told
him so. AS a last resort Muehl made
a strong appeal to his successful rival.
N4Ai Nj ~ kAllSI ~ SOIllt
negotiation he consented to relinouish
Bertha to Muehl for a consideration of
S25 cash. Muehl paid the money and
then waited with as much patience as
he could command for Bertha to come
back to him, but Bertha never came
back.
After deliberate consideration Muehl
concluded that he had been swindled and
he determined to have h sWind5ers
punished, if there was any law in the
land to punish him Somebody told
him that Recorder MeDonough kept a
large and wonderful variety of law on
hand. law ito suit any kim of a case.
Muehl told his story to the Recorder
and the Recorder, without any hesita-
tlon, decided that 1T was a clear case
OF false p~retences. Muehl had paid the
money, but he didn't get the girl.
The possibility that Kruser might not
have been able to deliver the goods did
not strike the Recorder. A warrant was
issued and Kruser was arrested and
committed to the County Jail in default
OF bail He at once applied for trial in
the Special Sessions. Prosecutor Win
Held, who thinks that he knows more
about law than Recorder McDonough.
decided that there was no ground for
the complaint, and refused to prosecute
KruSer.

They held the Pavonias. iii check and new

Their hits were scattered through the
entire game and never counted for runs,
as did the Jerseys batting in the first two
innings when Thomas was batted for a
total of 8 hits and Z runs. He settled down
after that and five was all the Jerseys
could get. In fielding 1t was a close bait
