Testimony Taking in the Armstrong
Case Postponed Again.

Testimony was to have been taken to-
day before Supreme Court Master Frank
P. McDermott in this city on the rule
to show cause why the jury's verdict in
the $500 damage suit that Undertaken
Samuel Armstrong of North Hudson,
brought against the North Hudson Coun-
ty Railway Company should not be set
aside, but was postponed. The rule to
show cause was obtained by Lawyer War
rem Dixon, who represented Armstrong.
The postponement was made by request
of ex-senator. William D. Edwards, who
represents the trolley company. The
hearing was adjourned until Friday next.
Armstrong was injured in an accident.
and sued the trolley company. The jury
brought in a verdict for the defendant.
In his application to the Supreme Court
for the rule to show cause why this ver-
dict should not be set aside, Lawyer
Dixon alleges that the jury was fixed
and that one of the jurymen admitted to
detectives that he had been bribed
Lawyer MeDermott will take testimony
on Lawyer Dixon's allegations and upon
his report the Supreme Court will decide
whether it will set the verdict aside and
order a new trial.

Although all agree that the fire was
caused by gas explosion, there are two
different versions as to the origin. OF the
gas. The managers of the meeting say
that when the building was overha uled
by workmen recently they left a leak In
a gas pipe and that a cigarette fiend
threw his lighted butt near the leak and
caused the explosion.
Another version is that the gas eminat-
ing from the spellbinders came in contact
with lighted cigarette and caused all
the trouble. The Business mems noon
