JAIL WARDEN ASSAULTED.
Murder Jorio Attacks Him When He Goes
to Give Him His Supper.

to Give Him His Supper.
Antoine Jorio, the patricide now con-
fined in the Court House, with shackles
on his legs, made deadly assault on
Turnkey George Watkins Sunday night.
For sometime past Jorio has acted quite
sullen, and care has been taken by
Sheriff Cheesman and his deputies that
there should not be another outbreak of
the murderer like the one sometime ago,
when Jorio had to be shot to be subdued.
On Sunday night, Turnkey Watkins
went into the Court House to give the
prisoners their nights meal. He weut
nto Jorio's cell and handed him his dish
with his supper in it.
Jorio gave wild look and dashed at
Mr.. Watkins, knocking the dish one side
and at the same time rushing at the turn
key like demon, striking him in the
head and knocking him down. He then
attempted to jump ON him, but quick as a
flash Watkins was on his feet and started
for the prisoners.
Jorio showed fight and fought the turn
Key until Watkins was finally obliged to
use hisprison club to subdue him.
| He struck Jorio over the head and
felled him to the floor. He lay there
unconscious for nearly an hour. When
he regained consciousness he was still
bitter and seemed s1rry that he did not
Kill the turnkey. He was then bound
hand and foot and left to muse over his
wickedness
On Monday Watkins went in to give
him his breakfast and he refused to eat,
The meal was left with him some time
but he still refused to eat it and Sheriff
Cheesman ordered that the meal be taken
away from him, which was done.
Jorio is bad prisoner. His acts dc
not seem to be those of an insane person
as much as they are those of demon
He is liable to have these wicked spells
many times before court. When the jai
is finished. however, he will be put where
he can do no one any harm.

GLAsSWORKER TAKES HIS LIFE.
With a Gun He Ends His Life at His Vine
Street Home, Wednesday.

SIeeI nome, wednesday.
Special to PIONEER.
MILLvILLE, Feb. Without any ap-
parent reason, with his wife visiting in
another city. Samuel Campbell, a glass
worker, committed suicide this morning.
at his home on Vine street.
Samuel Campbell lives in his own
home on Vine street. A domestic man.
his life has always seemed pleasant
though his disposition was retiring and
he mingled little with his fellows. Still
he was free from troubles, as far as his
friends know, although recently he has
been somewhat respondent.
His wife has been visiting in Philadel-
phia, and was there this morning, her
mother keeping house for Campbell dur
ing Mrs. Campbelrs absence.
This morning he arose as usual. and
about 6 O'Clock he sent his mother-in.law
to the store for something, leaving HIM
self alone in his home.
Securing gun he placed the muzzle at
the right side of his neck and pulled the
trigger, and moment later fell over
dead. The result of the gun shot was a
horrible wound. The left side of the
| neck was entirely carried away, while the
Jew bone was broken, tearing away
the lower part of the left ear. The gun
belonged to friend of Campbelps, War
rington Champion, and the horrible deed
was committed out in the back yard.
The report of the gun brought neighbors
to the scene, and they were Mortified to
find the mutilated corpse of their fellow.
as it lay upon the ground. But few
moments later the mother-in law re-
turned from the store bringing a can of
lobster which she had procured for Camp
| BELLS breakfast.
Physicians and the authorities were
notified. The former had nothing to do.
while the latter Immediately notified
County Physician Thompson, and he sent
word that he would come Immediately to
investigate the matter.
Campbell was but thirty-eight years
old, and was recognized as one of the best
glass workers in Millville.
Absolutely no cause is assigned for the
deed, and the horrible tragedy has caused
a great gloom to fall over the neighbor-
hood where the family reside.

Grape vines should be trimmed now,

trimmed in the spring they will bleed,
that is, sap will run from the ends of the

the legal department to stop gambling.
At the request Of Assistant City Attor-

in the hands of detective for service,
but were taken from him by

refused to have. = them served
and ordered the arrest of Attorney
Rustgard, but later thought better Of il
and rescinded the order. Mr.. Rustgard
says that he will make it very warm
for Chief Hansen, and that If there il
any way to secure the chiefs removal
he will bring it about. Chief Hansen
not only refused to serve the warrants
himself. but warned his officers that
they would lose their stars if they
served them. There is every prospect

Armour and Letter have crossed

Letter will handle the December deal as
carefully as possible and realize just as
much profit by sales as the market will
stand. He will then take some cash
wheat on delivery, but practically leave
the cash situation to Armour. He can

Armour will then be left with Chi.

and with foreign demand and domestic
requirements as result Of millers SELL
