AN INOORRIGIBLE SON.
Leslie Oakley Held for she Grand
Jury on his Mothers Charge.

Leslie Oakley, nineteen years old, of No.
276 Second street, Jersey City, was COM
mitted to the Hudson Sounty Jail by Po-
lice Justice Nevin this morning to await
indictment on the charge of robbing his
mother Mrs. Oakley was in the First
Criminal Court to press the charge
against her son. She wept bitterly as she
gave the testimony which sent him to
Jail. The boy begged ~piteously for mercy.
Give me one more chance, Mamma"
he said, and I will never cause you any
more trouble. Dom send me to Jail"
The mother half turned her head away
and addressing Justice Nevin said
This is breaking my heart, Judge, but
/ can do nothing else. / lave given him
chance after chance, but he will not re-
form. He steals everything of value he
can lay his hands on. I don't see any
thing left but to send him away He
grows worse all the time. The other day
while I was at a funeral he stole my
cape. Then he broke into the room of
his brother-in-law, George Hathaway,
and stole a watch and Chain. He is in
corrigible."
Young Oakley wept, wrung his hands
and pleaded, but in vain-his mother
would not relent, and he vas held for the
Grand Jury.

the same house at No. 1873 Jefferson street,
Hoboken, and slept in different beds in
the same room. On the night of De-
cenaber Is Eppler counted a roll of money,
SITS or thereabouts. and slowed it away
carefully in his inside pocket. The next
morning Koop left the house before Ep-
pier. When Eppler got up he counted
his money again and discovered that a
$40 bill and a $40 bill were missing. Learn
ing that Koop was unusually flush, Eppier

ternoon.

ployed in the same shop with Koop, tes-
fi6ed that the defendant showed him $50,
q $40 bill ana a $40 bill, and said that his

BR0ODED OVER AN ACCUSATION
Discharged on a Charge of Theft Min
ME Barenburger Attempts suicide.

Because detectives were shadowing her
and she was under suspicion of having
stolen from her employer, pretty Mimi
Barenburger, of No. II Hancock avenue,
attempted suicide this morning by drink
ing carbolic acid. She is in the City Hos
pital and will probably recover. The doc
tors, after working over her for several
hours, pronounced her out of danger.
Minnie is 20 years old. Several weeks ago
she secured employment as nurse with a
family in Brooklyn. Shortly after she
went there her mistress was robbed of
clothes and valuables. Minnie was sus-
pected of the theft and was arrested. De-
t~ectives searched her trunk but found
none of the stolen articles. AS there was
no evidence against her she was dis
charged on being arraigned in the polio
court.
She brooded over the affair, and after
that was constantly under the impression
that detectives were shadowing her. She
returned to her mothers house in Han
cock avenue. This morning after break
fast, at 9:15 O'Clock, she drank a small
vial of carbolie acid. The pain it caused
her made her cry for help. She was at
tended by DR.. Toupfier and removed TO
the City Hospital. She told the doctors
who attended her that she wanted to die
to get rid of the detectives who were fol-
lowing her day and night.

CONTRACTOR WANTS HIS MONEY

Vice Chancellor Stevens had before him
This morning the case of James c. Lind
say of Jersey City against the Board OF
Education of Bayonne, in the matter of
a claim for $516.65. 1t appeared that a
contractor on one of the public schools
of that city, Joseph Swing, owed the
amount stated to Lindsay, and he made
application to the Bayonne officials for
the sum, but they refused to recognize
him. Lindsay now fears hat he will lose
his money, and he wants the court to
restrain the city of Bayonne from pay
ing the contract monies to Swing.
Counsellor James Anderson represented
the plaintiff, who secured a decree in his
favor.
