.DUGAN'S CASE POSTPONED
The Defendant Argued the
Stay in the Absence Of
His Counsel.

The trial of Thomas alias RED" Dugan,
for breaking into the Rev. ]. G. J. Peter
sen's house. No. 247 Third street, on sun
day night, January 10, was set down Tor
today in the General Sessions Court, but
was postponed until Thursday morning
owing to the absence of the defendants 5
counsel, Alexander Simpson. 1t was the
first case on the list and the Court waited
until eleven o'clock. While waiting for
counsel Assistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle
tried small assault and battery case
At the close of that case Mr.. Van Wrinkle
moved the trial of Dugan.
The defendant, who showed a familiarity
with criminal procedure, protested against
being tried in the absence of his counsel
He said that Mr.. Simpson was engaged In
the Supreme Court at Trenton and had
not been notified that this case was to be
tried today. Mr.. Van Wrinkle said that
the case had been posted since last Friday
and Mr.. Simpson ought to have known
that the case had been set down for this
morning.
This case must go on today" said
Judge Blair, ''and in the absence of Mr..
Simpson the Court will assign Mr.. Sal
linger to the defence
'I object, your Honorr' exclaimed Du-
gan. Il want to be defended by my own
counsel. Can't you postpone the trial for
day?',
1.-THE case must proceed" said Judge
Blair. ''It has already been postponed
and the Court has waited for an hour
this morning. The trial will proceed
without counsel if the defendant refuse
to accept counsel assigned by the Court"
Dugan again earnestly protested
against being tried in the absence of Mr..
Simpson.
Mr.. Van Wrinkle held a brief conversa-
tion with Judge Blair and then said:-
Il am so thoroughly convinced of this
mans guilt that 1 am desirous that there
shall be no question of the validity of his
conviction I therefore suggest that the
trial be- set down for Thursday morning,
so that there will be no question of error.
1 am particularly desirous that when this
man is convicted the conviction will
stand.'
Judge Blair set the case down for
Thursday morning, and said that the
trial would positively go on then whether
counsel was present or not.
What Dugan's defence is to be is puz-
zling everybody who knows about the
case. He forced an entrance into Nj.
Petersens house while Mr. Petersen was
conducting services in st. Matthews
Lutheran Church in Wayne street, Of
which he is pastor. Mrs. Petersen, who
was alone, heard fumbling at the lock
and went out to see who was there. She
saw Dugan in the hall and made an out
cry Dugan fired a shot at her and ran
out to the street. Mrs. Petersen threw
up the front window and shouted. man
VINO was passing saw Dugan running and
pursued him, shooting as he ran. Police
man Wolf overlook Dugan and knocked
him down with a blow of his club on the
back of the neck He was then taken 70

STEAMSHIP PIER RIOT,
British King Usurped Place
Of Leopold II and a War
of Words Followed.

A row that threatened at one time to
blossom into full fiedged riot, neccs-
stated calling p squad of police to the
Thingvalla line pier, at the foot of Fourth
street. Hoboken, yesterday afternoon.
The pier is owned by the Camppeli
Storage Company, which uses the shore
half itself and which leases the outer half
to the steamship company.
When the officials of the two COM
panies went to work yesterday morning
they were surprised to find the BRUSH
King of the Phoenix line, moored to the
north side of the pier, with one mooring
hawser on each company's property a
number of lighters which had been there
the night before were out in the basin
or tied up to the bathhouse bridge.
Some of these had cargo aboard for the
Thingvall liner Norge, which lay at the
south side of the pier, and as they coule
not be warped around because the British
King was in the way, tugs were hired to
tow them there.
The Thingvalla people requested the
skipper of the Phoenix liner to pay the
charges, but he refused to comply
About noon the Leopold II. came up tht
river and she was run in and moored out
side the British King, with her bow
against the latters stern. This apparent
" imprisoned the Monarch, and the
Thinsvall line officials declared She
would stay there until wharfage dues and
tugboat expenses were paid.
She did stay until the tide went down
and her nose was left sticking in the
mud. The Campbell Storage Company
wanted the use of it's end of the dock,
however, so it ordered the British King
to vacate, and the sailors went ashore
and cast off the bow hawsers The Thing
valla officials would not allow them to go
to the outer half of the pier, where the
stern hawser was made fast and closed
the gates and stationed men at them to
prevent it.
A nimble sailor watched his chance and
when every one else was engaged in a
war of words he climbed along the haw-
ser and cast off Tugs were then hailed
and the British King was towed out to
midstream and up to her dock at Seventh
street.
Superintendent Schmidten of the Thing
valla line wants his dues and says he will
report the matter to the home office.
The captain of the British King says
he was forced into the basin when COM
ing up the harbor on Sunday night by
the heavy foes of ice, and he had to
moor there to prevent damage to his
shin,
