CATS VERSUS CHICKENS
Martens Killed McLaln's Pussy
and McLain Complains
of the Fowls.

The growing of roosters and the cack-
ling of hens owned by William Mertens,
of No. 103 Ocean avenue, caused several
residents who live in the vicinity to ap-
pear before the Board of Health last
night and complain of the noise, as in
furious to health by preventing sleep.
Edward McIain was present to substan-
tiate his written complaint. McLain said:
Il have lived at No. 1873 Ocean avenue
for the past three years. We made no
complaint the two previous summers be-
cause the family was in the country. This
year, my mother being very sick. we can
not leave the city and the noise made by
the chickens is of great annoyance to her.
We have been compelled to move my
mother several times because she could
stand it no longer"
Mr. Mertens said the matter had been
brought before the Health Board, out of
pure spite. ."The scheme was brought
about because l shot a cat belonging to
"The feline had been killing off my young
chickens
McLain said 'that matter has nothing
whatever to do with this case, and have
had no animals about the house since you
SnOl Lne cat. Inc GROWING OF your rOOS-
ters continues, however"
do the roosters annoy you in the win
ter?" asked Commissioner West.
mo, we have the windows closed and
we cannot bear them"
SIS there any odor or smell that would
prove detrimental to the health of those
residing in the vicinity?' asked President
McGill.
''Yes, when the wind blows our way the
stencil is unbearable."
Mr.. Mertens at this point of the pro-
ceedings interrupted Mr.. McLain and in
formed that gentleman that his coops
were painted on the inside, whitewashed
outside and that two bottles of disinfect-
ants were kept in each. This statement
was verified by Inspector Benjamin, who
said he visited the place twice and that
he found no odor or smell that could have
originated from the coop.
Mr.. Mertens said his chickens did not
| make near as much noise as do the cats
and dogs belonging to his neighbors. The
hencoops are cleaned out and painted ev-
cry two weeks.
The alleged nuisance was referred to
the Board as a Committee of the Whole,
with power. The matter will be reported
at the next meeting

TOO INSANE TO PLEAD
Ex-Judge W. 7. Hoffmann's $
Departure in the Morado
Murder Trial.

Former Judge William T. Hoffman and
Lawyer Alexander Young, who have
been retained to defend Jacimo Morado,
who is indicted for the murder of his wife
Joanna inaugurated a new departure
this morning in the method of setting up
a plea of insanity as a defence. 1t has
been the practice of counsel to plead in
sanity at the trial, or in the proceedings
after conviction. Counsel this morning
interposed the plea before the defendant
was arraigned and held that because of
his insanity ne was unable to plead.
Morado was brought over from the
County Jail to be ararigned before Judge
Blair in the oyer and Terminer Court
When Prosecutor Erwin directed him to
stand UP Mr.. Young said that the de-
fence in the case is insanity. The de-
fendant was insane at the time of the
murder and is insane now. BY reason of
that insanity he IS unable to comprehend
his position, enter any plea or go INTO
his defense. Counsel, he said, desired to
object to the presentation of the indict-
ment to the defendant or requiring him to
plead.
Judge Blair decided that he could be ar
raigned and at the request of Judge Hon-
man the stenographer made note of
the objection in order to have the record
straight.
Morado apparently does not realize
how insane he really is and he rather
disappointed his counsel. Prosecutor Er-
win read the indictment and it was inter-
preted to the defendant by Court inter-
prefer Fillaramo. The Indictment charges
Morado with having killed his wife on
the twenty-first day of last month IN
Hoboken The defendant listened intently
to every word the interpreter said to him
and when the last question was
asked
What do you plead, guilty or not
guilty?" he promptly replied in Italian.
Il am not guilty"
sIs that his exact language?" asked Mr..
Hoffman, evidently surprised.
''Yes, sir'' replied the interpreter; he
said, am not guilty :" Prosecutor Err
win directed Stenographer Mosher to
make note of the plea.
No date was fixed for the trial. Mr..
Young said that he was going abroad
between now and the eighth of July and
he understood the Court was also going
to Europe.
mot before the eighth remarked the
Judge. The matter was left open to
ascertain if the date can be fixed before
the exodus to Europe begins. 1t is said
that the object of Mr.. Young's journey
abroad is to inspect some olive groves in
Italy which Morado is said to own.
