BLAMED THE POLICE.
Queer Line Of Defence for a
fragrant Case of BIZ
cycle Stealing.

Patrick McGreevey was tried today In
the Court of General Sessions for the
second time OF an Indictment for enter
ing and larceny. AT the previous trial.
about a month ago, he was convicted, but
on the application of Lawyer Furey Judge
Hudspeth granted a new trial. About
100 A. M. on November %, Policeman
Bluem was passing No. 22s Erie street
when he say McGreevey coming out Of
the hallway with a bicycle. He asked
McGreevey where he got the bicycle and
what he was going to do with it. Nc
Greeyey said that a friend had loaned it
to him to take a little spin. The police
man thought it was a rather unseemly
hour to be starting out on a wheel, but he
told McGreevey to jump on and let him
see how he could ride. McGreeyey then
admitted that he could not ride and
Bluem arrested him. Charles Burge, of
NO. 229 Erie street. identified the bicycle
as his. 1t had been stolen from a room
on the third floor.
h defence was that McGreeyey as
sisted in taking a drunken mar home who
lived at No. 229 Erie. street. Another
friend escorted the drunken man upstairs
sat down on the stoop to wait for
him.. The bicycle, in some manner not
explained, got down in the hallway and
INSTRUCTED the passage. McGreevey was
only taking it out of the way when the
policeman arrested him. McGreevey has
served several terms for burglary. but
Lawyer Furey maintained that that was
no evidence that he had stolen the BIZ
cycle. Bluem just arrested him because
ne is ambitious to become a sergeant
and wants to make a record.
Barney Mannion, an associate of Nc
Greevey, testified that he and his uncle
John and McGreevey had been drinking
and he and McGreevey took Uncle John
home. When the witness TOOK his uncle
up stairs there was no bicycle in the hall,
but 1t was there when he returned. Nc
Greevey said that he got afraid while he
was sitting in the dark hall and decided
to go outside and get some fresh air. On
his way out he stumbled over the bicycle
and just then the policeman came along.
He had no theory as to how the bicycle
got in the hall between the time he went
IN n came out again. The defence re-
lied principally on abuse of the police
man.
In summing up Judge Hudspeth com
mented strongly on the practice of law
yers who are defending criminals to
stamp policemen as unworthy of belief
because they happened to arrest their
clients. He sale the practice was becom-
ing altogether too common. Policemen
are sworn to perform their duty. They
also swear to tell the truth in giving their
testinony. In closing the Judge said it
was for the jury to decide whether e
policeman would come into court and de-
liberately perjure himself to convict a
His experience was that
policemen are quite as truthful as other
people. The jury convicted McGreeyey
of petty larceny.

Trouble over a Hoboken saloon
RrOuSht Into C0urf.


A suit to recover two months rent for
a saloon, at No. 421 Newark street. Hobo
ken, owned by Ex-Councflman William
T. Fenton, was brought in the Hoboken
District Court yesterday afternoon against
the Lion Brewing Company. Fenton leas-
ed h property to the brewing company,
through its local agent, Louis Budenbend-
er.
The place was occupied by a young man
named M. Paul, who put in new fixtures
and gave a mortgage of 1900 to the com
pany. Paul was afterwards elected, be-
cause he failed to make payments ON the
mortgage, and several other men were in
stalled by the brewing Finally
John Weder took the place and. gave $500
to the ompa as a deposit on the lease
of the property and the fixtures. Shortly
after Weder failed and the saloon was
closed up. Fenton had always collected
his rent from the company, but when the
place was sold to Weder the company
ceased TO make any payments. Fenton
then brought suit against the mpan
and the Court gave judgment, with costs.
Weder now claims that Evans and Bud
enbender tried to swindle him, and he has
engaged counsel to prosecute them for
fraud.

a boy for forty-eight hours. The boy was
placed in a window, and remained there
without food or drink and without OPEN
ing his eyes once.
This wonderful feat aroused young
Dougherty's curiosity, and he went to
Wilmington to consult with the hypnot-
him, and he soon became one of their sub
jects. After the departure of the hyp-
notists young Dougherty settled down to
make a study OF hypnotism, and frequent
ly tried experiments on his classmates in
college.
Frequently he has discussed with them
that he believed hat he could put him
self into a hypnotic sleep by the concen-
tration Of his thoughts on one subject.

ty was placed under the care of a ply

that he hypnotized himself while in bed.
On the hoor, SO close to the bed that he
could readily watch it, was found a re-
volving instrument similar to an instru-
e used by a. noted French hypnotist in
his seances. Dougherty's friends think
that he took the instrument to his room
with the purpose OF trying the experiment
on himself.
h strange part of the case, however.
is that his limlbs became rigid and par
TALLY cold, while the limbs of the boy he
had seen put asleep by the hypnotists re-
manned flexible and normally warm.
Another strange feature is that there
was not perceptible beating of the pulse
or palpitation of the heart, although the
head about the temples was slightly
warm.
He was very fond of singing, and the
physicians think that the singing at his
coffin caused d relaxation of the nerves.

1t was rumored in Hoboken this morn
ing that Superintendent Andrew Reasoner
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad had discharged sixteen em-
ployes of the road last night for engag-
ing in money ending or t'shylocking" as
told in 1.-THE News of yesterday.
1t was also said that one of the men
was ar engineer who had been foremost
in the practice. and who had lent sums
of money to a number of the employees
at high rates of interest. Some of the
other men were dismissed, it was said,
for playing policy.
A News" reporter called at the offices
of the Railroad Company this morning
to find out if the rumor was true. Su-
perintendent Reasoner refused to discuss
the matter. When asked how many en-
ployes had been discharged he admitted
that fonr men had been dismissed for
money lending and he said he was still
making Investigations. Mr.. Reasoner de-
clined tosgsve the names of the discharged
men.

follow. as it is known that a number of

MEDICAL STUPIDITY.
Baby Sent to the Pest House
by a Careless
Diagnosis.

The Hoboken Health Board met in the
City Hall yesterday afternoon with Pres
ident Campbell, August Grassman and DR.
| Simon Heller present. DR.. Heller read
a long report On the Investigations which
he was directed to make by the Board into
the case of Robert Harper, the one-year.
old baby, who was removed from NO. 81
Ferry street, to the Pest House at Snake
Hill owing to a misunderstanding as to
the nature of the child's disease.
The disease with which the child was af-
ficted was diagnosed by Dr.. Hendrick as
~varioloid. or smallpox in a mild form and
the baby was removed to the Pest
House on January 80 by his orders. Health
Warden William J.. Arlitz later diagnosed
the disease as simple chicken pox and
ordered the child returned to its home nine
days later.
DR.. Helfer said that he had conferred
with DR.. Converse who had stated that
he had diagnosed the case and found that
it was only chicken pox and the child
should not have been sent to the Pest
House. DR.. Converse, according to DR..
Helfer's report, found no symptoms of
varioloid. DR.. King of Snake Hill, who
also examined the case, carroborated DR..
Converse n confirmed DR.. Arlitz's
diagnosis.
DR.. Arlitz then said that when the case
Of the child was first reported to the
Board on January 80, Health Inspector
Graneili requested that the child be left
at dts home until DR.. Converse had exam
ined it. In the meantime DR.. Hendrick
diagnosed the case as one of smallpox
and sent for the ambulance.
81 have not the slightest doubt about
the case said DR.. Arlitz. "I diagnosed
it as one of chicken pox. They didn't con-
suit me, but sent the case to Snake Hill,
where the child was in danger of catching
a disease it did not have. DR.. Kudlich
who examined the child after it was
brought back from the Pest House told
me that its removal was an outrage"
DR.. Heller said that the father of the
child had lost his position because 1t was
said that his baby was affected with
smallpox, and he would have a good case
against the county for damages.
DR.. Arlitz said it was gross negligence
on the part of DIR. Hendrick.
Its more like gross ignorance thar any
thing else" remarked DR.. Heller. Hes
only a young man."
Horace L. Allen Counsellor for the
Board announced that he had received $50
as the amount of a fine imposed in the
case of Peter D. Andrews for the viola
ton of the sanitary code. s
DR.. Arlitz reported SO deaths during the
past month against 100 of January, 1896.
The annual report of vital statistics pre-
sented by Clerk Havron showed a total
of 1,37 deaths for the year ending De-
cember, 1896.
Of these deaths 239 occurred in st. Mary's
Hospital and 8 OF the steamships. The
death rate was 24.05 against 22.55 for 1895,
on al estimated population of 56,009s
