Yum down in de First Precinct for

the penitentiary.
Herman Walker, Of Bayonne, who pleaded
guilty OF assault and battery on his wife,

a boarder. He and his wife had lived hap
PLY together in rooms which they rented for

John Campbell, the burglar, who broke
into Martin Garvey's saloon at Newark
venue and Grove street, and was caught by
Mr.. Garvey after a lively chase, said that he

cautions to avoid accident. The jury award
ed the plaintiff $4,000. but the case will be
taken up IN appeal, Former Judge Thomas
