ward to Voorhees,.

The task of breaking the evil news to
Edward Clifford that the Court OF Par
dons had refused to commute his death
sentence to Imprisonment for life fell to
Warden Lennon. When the decision of the
Court reached the Sheriff's Office on Sat
urday afternoon Sheriff Heller went over
to the Jail and requested Warden Lennon
to inform Clifford. The Warden did not
relish the task, but somebody had to do
it. AS the Warden entered the corridor
on the lower floor of the jail where Cliff
ford's cell is located, Clifford looked at
him anxiously, but there was nothing in
the warden's eountenance to give him any
hope.
Il have bad news for you. Ed,'' said
Warden Lennon.

that there is no hope for him, and is re-

that after Governor Griggs takes his seat

another effort might be made to save the
condemned mans life. Acting Governor
Voorhees, might be persuaded to grant a
reprieve, and special session of the
Court of Pardons might be called to con-

gramme is not at all likely to be earned
out. Even it were it would hardly be of
any benefit to Clifford, as the Court of
Pardons was unanimous in the refusal to
interfere in the case

DOCTOR IN HOT WATER.
Attempts to Settle the Hobo
ken Dentists Divorce Suit
a Failure.

DIR. Richter, the Hoboken dentist, whose
wife lately obtained a decree of divorce
from him, had warm time of it in Cham
Gerry Chambers this afternoon at the
hands of his counsel Senator w. D. DAILY.
The decree, although not yet signed by
Vice Chancellor, contained provision
that in lieu of alimony the doctor should
practically give up all his professional
business to Mrs. Emma Richter, who
holds chattel mortgage on her husband s
property. The doctor didn't have any
money to pay alimony, and didn't want to
give up his professional instruments.
Lawyer w. Collins, who represented Mrs.
Richter, was anxious, however, to- nave
Senator Daily this morning asked the
ce-Chancellor to let the case go over
until next Wednesday. The Senator also
added that there were some things IN the
case which induced him to ask to with

the rear of the court, laughed and smiled
"And at others" continued the impartial
Senator, II am of opinion that Mrs. Rich

Mrs. Richter shot an indignant glance at
the smiling lawyer. At that moment DR.:
Richter came behind Senator DAILY and
whispered something in his .counseFs ear,
pered something in his 1ounseps ear,
which was evidently unpalatable to the
Senator, who turned on him sharply and
said

shouldn't litigate when you have no mon

JAIL"
The Vice Chancellor broke up the inter-
esting scene by saying that unless counsel
could agree on the amount of alimony and
the chattel mortgage held by Mrs. Rich
ter, he would sign the decree and the
question of alimony could hang over the
doctors head.
When the lawyers adjourned to the an

eral Sessions Court, today. was taken up
with the trial of an Italian assault and
battery case. The defendant was Dom
enico lChiaromondo and the complaining
was Nunzio Marotto, of No. Ala Madison

hit him on the head with the spoke of
a wheel The affray occurred in the Town
Of Union.

witness told the defendant not to make
any trouble. Without any further provo
cation Chiaromondo struck the witness on
the head with the spoke and knocked the
witness senseless. He was stunned and
remained in that condition for about three

him from his wagon. struck him with a
club, poked their fingers IN his eyes, spat
