A Jealous Guy

William Rooney, aged about %. Of
Philadelphia, shot and instantly killed
Alphonso Picard, of the same age, and
shot and seriously wounded Vernoa
Callheim, aged about 10, Monday
night. The motive for the crime was
jealousy. Immediately after shooting
Picard and the girl Rooney attempted
to escape, but was captured by Police

who do painting and paper hanging when
they work at all. were tried in the Special
Sessions Court today on a charge of bu--
glary. About one O'Clock one morning
a couple of weeks ago, Mrs. Nora Carney
who lives over Albert Hohman's saloon dit
No. 269 Railroad avenue, heard some one
walking through the hall downstairs, and
a few minutes afterward she saw from a
reflectfon-cast on the stoop that there sws.s
a man in the saloon. She saw another
man standing on the opposite side of the
street. Shortly afterward the two men
walked up h street. Mrs. Carney
called her husband n he dressed him
self and went out to look for a police
man. He found officer Pritchard ard
told him the story. Pritchard found
Bennett and OaShea, and took them baek
to the saloon to be looked over by Mrs
Carney.
Mrs. Carney was very certain that the
dark man, O'Shea, was the man who was
in the saloon, and that Bennett was the
man who stood across the street. She
identified Bennett by his light hat ard
his clothing. The saloon had been en-
tered, and consequently Officer PritchaI'd
took the men to the First precinct sta
ton. h defendants denied that they
had broken into the saloon. They had
done some work for Mr.. Holman arid
waited in the saloon for him until 1T
closed up. Then they started to walk rp
to his other saloon on the Hill, which is
stay there because they had no Other
place to go.
Judge Hudspeth reserved decision.

TO MARCH TO CAMP.
COMPANY B, Fourth Regiment
Wants to Save Money to
Adorn It's Room.

A majority of the members of Company
B. Fourth Regiment, are in favor Of
marching to the State camp at Sea Girt
this year instead of going by rail with the
rest of the regiment. Captain Derrom
and Lieutenant Christie are with the ma
jority, and it is more han likely that
they will have their way in the matter.
The question will be definitely decided at
the next meeting of the company, which
will be held on Tuesday evening.
The boys have a double purpose in de-
string to march TO Sea Girt. In the first
place it will afford them excellent recre-
alton and be productive of considerable
fun. and, secondly, they want to save the
cost of transportation by rail. If they
march. the only expense will be their
meals three times a day. These will be
paid for by the members themselves. The
amount which they save IN carfare will
be allowed them, and they propose to
spend it in identifying the ompan
room in the Armory.
If it is finally decided to march to
camp the boys will leave on July IA. That
will give them three lays in which to
cover the distance. as they are due at
Sea Girt on July II.

VERY BLACK AFFAIR
Columbus Was BLOOD Mad But
Jndge EAudepeth Soaked Washfngton

Albert Washington was tried in the
Special Sessions Court today for atrocious
assault and battery on Columbus Mccoy.
Albert is very black, but a piece OF char
coal would make a white mark on Co
lumbus ebony countenance. Columbus is
employed as a coachrnan and he was
hooking up his horse about three P. NJ.
on June 2, when Washington came along.
Columbus had no desire to see Washing
ton and told him to go away about his
business. Washington told Columbus
that he would so away when he got
dashed good and ady.ZSome words, not
a few but a good ANY, ensued, and ac-
cording to Columbus story washington
struck him on the head with a pitchfork.
His story was corroboraJed by William
Williams, another coal black negro.
Washington denied the story of the
other two. He said that he came over
from New York and decided to make a
friendly call on his friend Columbus.
Columbus was not in a friendly mood
hat day and ordered Washington to go
away as he did not want to see him.
Washington then began to jolly Columbus
and Columbus hit him on the head with
a stone. He showed the c of the
wound. Columbus, he said. was "blood
mad"
Judge Hudspeth convicted the defen-
dant of assault and battery and COM
mitted him to the County Jail for thirty

TROLLEY OARS THIEVES CAUGHT

Bernard Horn, of No. 1882 Washington
street, Hoboken, was a passenger on a
trolley car of the Rutherford line coming
from Paterson on Decoration Day and
met three sociable fellows on the car.
One of Them puffed cigarette smoke in
his face, another one asked him what
time 1t was and the third wipe his
watch. Not having any appreciation of
that kind of humor Horn got off the car
and told a policeman. The three jokers
got off the car a few minutes afterward
and walked the remainder of the distance
to the Christopher street ferry. They
were received there by a delegation Of
policemen and escorted to the police sta
ton, where they were booked as Frank
Clarke, William Smith and Edward Nc
Council. They were tried in the Special
Sessions Court today for stealing Mr..
Horns watch.
Horn Identified Clark as the man who
took his watch, while Smith crowded up
lgd rst I'm liz was not positive in his
Identification of Mcconnell. Clark was
the only one of the who took
the stand. He admitted being on the car
and seeing Horn, but denied taking his
watch. The Others did not care to make
any statement, saying that they could
tell nothing different from Clark's story.
Clark and Smith were convicted and Nc
Council was acquitted, as there was no
evidence against him.
