.GRAHAh'S LITTLE SCHEME
Resigns as Committeeman So
as to Fill Pringle's
Place.

Republican Committeeman Jack Gra-
ham of the Ninth ward rendered his res
ignation to the Republican Ward Asso-
ciation at meeting Friday night to the
surprise of many members present. Later
it came to light that there was method
in the mauness'' Of Mr.. Graham
In relinquishing his claim to the posi-
tion of committeeman, he had another
object in view. His term would have
expired this fall, and, feeling certain that
defeat was in store for him if he ran
again, he deemed it wise to seek the
place of person who moved from the
ward, and whose term was for two years.
Grahams resignation was accepted by
the Ward Association and it will be acted
upon at meeting of the County Com
mittee, to be held Friday night
]. Herbert Potts and Isaac Romaine
were nominated for Graham's place, and
Judge Potts won by vote of nine to
seven. This eleetion will be confirmed
by the general body Friday night.
The position for which Graham is work.
ing is that made vacant by the resigna-
tion of John T. Pringle. Isaac J. Hop
kins, Isaac Romaine, John Graham and
J. H. Potts were named for the place.
The County Committee will make the
selection.
A resolution was passed, ordering a
joint enrolment to be. held at the club
house on February 81. There were many
protests against this resolution by those
opposed to the machine. They declared
that the resolution threw the ward back
into the old rut and that such step
would tend to cause more friction among
the forces. One member stated that
separate precinct enrollments and pri-
maries were agreed to several weeks ago
and that that agreement should be lived
UP to.
In reply, the machine members claimed
that little interest was taken in pri-
maries or enrollments and that in pre-
pairing for precinct polling places too
much expense was incurred

Judge Hudspeth puts the date as Deceiri-
ber g. The alleged bribe in consideration
of WHICH it was charged Noonan agreed
to conssnt as Assistant Prosecutor, to al
low the Pole to Withdraw his plea of gull
ty to grand larceny, is said to nave been
paid to Noonan on December J.
Judge Hudspeth's examination proceeuS:
By Mr.. j. M. Noonan:--
@. Now, let me ask you a general ques-
tion. From your recollection Of the en-
tire matter, Is it now your impression
and your best memory on the subject,
that my position in the case was, IN re-
spec to this application made by Bocz-
kowski's counsel, that he was In the
hands of the Court upon his plea Of
guilty to this Indictment for larceny, and
that the Court could hold him under that
vict him of embezzlement or could not
hold him for that offence?
A. Well, I will say, in reply to that
question, that you had said to the Court.
as I have already testified, and under
the circumstances / have testified, that
the Court had the man on his plea ana
what was the use of bothering, that we
had better hold him; and furthre. that
your opinion was that we could not con-
Wet him on a charge of embezzlement,
that the charge should. be that OF grand
larceny, as that was what he was gullty
Of
@. And your recollection Is that one oc-
casion on which ! made that statement
was on the day before the Grand Jury
x. That is my impression.
Q. All of these converse tions, each ana
ali of them, between you and Noonan,
and all of these transactions to when
YOU have referred in your testimony, oc-
CURED prior to the publication of the
article in the Evening Journal accus-
ing Noonan and Simpson of conspiring to
get this Pole out OF pi1son2
A. Certainly, undoubtedly.
1t is conceded that Noonan was present
in court on the Boczkowski case on two
occasions only-when lie arraigned him on
November 26 and when he opposed Man
ming and Simpsons application on De-
cembar 1O-according to Manning on De-
cember 9-according to Judge Hudspeth.

WON'T PAY AlIM0NY.
Charles Fuller Ignores the Order of
the Court of Chancery.

Application was made to Vice Chancel-
lor Pitney this morning by Counsellor ].
Heisley Morris, of Long Branch, for an
order adjudging Charles w. Fuller, dry
goods merchant of Long Branch to be
in contempt of court. Fullers wife Clara
W., is suing him for separate maintenance
and support upon the ground of extreme
cruelty She alleges that he left her
ast simmer and warned tradesmen not
to trust her. Last September an order
was made by the Court directing Fuller
to pay his wife $50 counsel feet and Sl2.5O
per week alimony. He has not paid any
thing on account of the order, hence the
effort to have him attached for contempt.
Affidavits were submitted showing that
Fuller is now in st. Augustine, Florida,
and when he was shown the order of the
court he said he would have nothing to do
with the matter. The Vice Chancellor re-
served his decision.
