DEMANDS HIS OWN ARREST.

Ills Own Accuser.


Ills Own Accuser.
Camden, July 21.-The oldest legal prop
osition probably ever presented to a New
Jersey judge came up yesterday morning
in the Office of Justice of the Peace Cold
ing, when John R. Burley entered formal
complaint against himself and demanded
his own arrest on charge of intimacy with
Mrs Josephine Marsh Schuby The latter
was also complained of in the affidavit
Justice Colding telephoned to Prosecutor
Jenkins. asking if there is precedent for
such course of legal conduct in New
Jersey. He was informed that there is
not, but that Burley had the right to lodge
information against anyone who he had
reason to suspect had violated the GRIM
inal code of the State, and therefore had
the right to make complaint against
himself. Acting on this ADVICE Justice
Colding held Burley in $500 bail to answer
at court.
Burley's object in making the complaint
is to punish Mrs. Schuby, who, he says,
led him to believe that she was unmarried.
He chanced to find a marriage certificate
containing her name recently and tSis so
angered him that he will go to any length
for revenge.
Lawyers say Burley has the right to con-
tradict on trial the sworn statement in the
complaint, because the latter was made as
a citizen, while his testimony in court will
be given as a witness.

Mr.. Stutler did not assign as reason
for refusal that the men had not been paid

If the men were ever notified that they
could get provisions from the store it was
when payment for the work performed had
been refused. The contractors deny that
they have ever required any men to trade
in this store, or have in any way violated
the regulation quoted. The contractors are
prepared to show that this store never has
been a source of profit, and was not start

men purchased there cheaper than they
can elsewhere. and that they are at perfect

They admit that the Superintendent
has since July deducted from the con-

that his action in this regard was arbi-

anything in it that requires an answer.
They conclude this reply by denying
that from July l to the date of Mr.. Slut
ler's report the contractors have violated
| the contract. The contractors assert that

ent Stutler to dictate that they should stop
sweeping at 10:30 a. M. and begin patrol

AGED WOMAN A SUICIDE.
Mrs. Verify. Sixty-eight Years Old
Hangs Herself

HcTSeh
Seaford. L. l., July 21.-Mrs. Caroline
Verify, sixty-eight years old, of this place.
committed suicide Wednesday afternoon
by hanging herself to the rafters in the
garret Of her home. She was the wife of
Lawrence Verify, a WELL o-do bayman
and was the mother of six children. The
husband and wife had never had any do
mestic trouble, and no reason is known
for her act.
Verify had been out on the bay all the
afternoon, and on coming home from
work could not find his wife. He became
alarmed and instituted a search. He was
shocked to find Mrs. Verify hanging from
the rafters.
She had evidently made Moose of a
clothesline, stood on a soapbox and passed
her head through and then kicked out the
box from under her.
Verify cut the line and let her down,
but she had been dead some time Some
of the neighbors ascribe the woman's act
to dependency, caused by the dissipatiol
of her younger son George, who is marie
and lives in Seaford.

the ground that Cannon had married the

therefore not SO fragrant as If the marriage
