Tuesday Morning.
The October session was resumed this
morning, Judge Ludlow being upon the
bench. A very large number of people
| were present.
After the usual opening, the roll call of
| officers and jurors, Prosecutor Logue ad-
dressed the Court. He said:
81 ask leave to charge a defendant,
Simon Shaw"
"He is charged with murder?" asked
Judge Ludlow.
she is"
"He has counsel?" asked the Court.
"Mr. Trenchard represents him." re-
piled Mr.. Logue.
''Sheriff, bring the defendant to the
bar" commanded the Judge
| Sheriff Shinn retired, and the audience
was expectantly awaiting. In a few
moments the Sheriff returned accom-.
| panied by the man responsible for taking
the life of young Stultz Carlisle. He
shambled into Court dressed in suit Of
black. He wore white shirt with high
collar, and light necktie. There was a
prison pallor upon his face, heightened
by paleness adduced by the awful po.
sition heis now in. He arose and faced
Prosecutor Logue and listened to the in.
| dictment read in full, charging him with
murder, wilful, malicious and with
malice aforethough. Shaw only glanced
at the Prosecutor, but for the most part
| kept his eyes fixed upon the floor.
| When he had finished reading the in
dictment, the Prosecutor asked, "What
have you to say to the indictment, are
you guilty or not?"
| mot guilty." answered Shaw, in a
| firm voice.
'Mr. Trenchard, do you represent the
| defendant?' asked Judge Ludlow.
81 do" replied the we'll known lawyer.
"When will you be ready for trial?'
asked the Court?"
1--WE would like, replied Mr.. Trench
| ard, five or six weeks; probably six
| weeks. That is my application, for six
| weeks"
| The Court then studiously observed
his calendar, and finally said that would
carry the case into the next term, and
asked why it should take so long to gel
| ready.
Mr.. Trenchard replied that the tragedy
| occurred in a sparsely settled country,
seventeen miles from Bridgeton, the
witnesses were scattered, and it was with
difficulty that Counsel could prepare
such case as had been mapped out.
Mr.. Logue, for the State, said that ii
| would be impossible to reach the case
until November, and personally he
would rather have the case set for Decem-
ber.
Judge Ludlow said that he could not
very well get here during December, and
Prosecutor Logue said that he had no OBJ
lection to the case going over until the
January term.
The Court said that the case being put
in that shape, he would fix the second
Tuesday in January as the date for the
| case to be moved.
Shaw was then remanded to Jail, and
the Court called for the first case on the
list-Hitchner against Hepner. The
official stenographer was not present
being unable to leave Atlantic City owing
to the storm overfiowing the railroad
tracks. The lawyers were not willing tc
proceed with the case without the record
being made up, and another case was
substituted.
