TERRIBLE TALES OF WOE.
But Judge Hndspeth Intimated That
One sid Must Re nm AWful Liar.

John Seiverding and Elmer Weaver, the
motorman and conductor for the North
Hudson County Railway Company, were
tried in the Genera Sessions Court his
morning for assault and battery on Thos.
McConville of Gutenberg. He was on
his way home shortly after II o'clock on
October q, when he met a car coming
in the opposite direction. After the car
passed him Seiverding stopped the car
and yelled at McConville, asking him
what the hell he meant by stopping the
car.
What would / stop the car for?" ask
ed McconviIle; II am going the other
way"
you lie. you did stop the car" ex-
claimed Seiverding.
You must a a rat retorted Me-
Conville.
"Fn get off and give you a rat" re-
piled Seiverding, and with that he and
the conductor jumped off and literally
wiped the road with McConville. They
punched him, knocked him down, and
Seiverding was about to mash his face
with his boot when the conductor pulled
him back, saying that McConville had
enough.
Seiverding and Weaver. according to
Seiverdings story, had a remarkable es-
cape from being robbed and probably
murdered by McConville. Seiverding Is
q giant compared to the plaintiff. He in
late at night and a lonely part of the
road. and he didn't know what might
happen. He never touched McConviile
except to push him gently off the back
platform. He lost his watch, and he
thought there was q cut in Elmer's
coat. The witness got all mixed up on
REPRESENTATION and eontradicted him
self repeatedly.
Elmer Weaver, the conductor, testified
that MeConville jumped on the platform
and grabbed hold OF him. He never
struck McConville either.
In charging the jury Judge Hudspeth
said that rank perjury had been COM
mitted on either one side or the other,
and ne was amazed that In such a case
a mar should &C on the witness stand
and deliberately lie,

The Old .Velvets signalled the event by
drorping back into the old rut, and made
another very weak effort. The Clintons

other teams that have competed on the
Pavonia alleys, although the figures were
very creditable. Archie Duke fell low in
scores, and has taken a heavy tumble in
the averages. The scores were:-

The PIN Founders Are Again In
Evidence.
The Clio Wheelmen gave the members
OF the Lafayette Club a scare In the
games Of the Jersey City League by
starting off with a rush and leading the
nome team from the beginning to the
end of the first contest, which was COM
pieted with a high record for the wheel
men. The Lafayettes had counted on a
double portion in victories. The wheel
men were unable to continue the fright
which they had given their opponents in
the second and rolled as poorly az though
tney had never seen the alleys. The ave-
rage was far below their accustomed
inquire, and the Lafayettes were able to
break even. Lafayette rolled inferior
scores and were fortunate in getting out
q the scri1nmage with an even break.
