ert Taylor, Of near Marlboro, at which
Mr.. Taylor's daughter, Mrs. Jennie

auce and Jacob Freshley, of Home
worth, were united in marriage and at
the same place and hour the brides
daughter, Miss Tillie, became the bride
Of Alvin zurbrugg, who resides west of
the city. This occasion in which three

FIRST DEGREE
IS POSSIBLE
fla New Trial Is Given to Will
liam Henderson.
THE SECOND DEGREE VERDICT
would Not interfere with the Indictment
And the Death Penalty would Yet
Bca Menace Something
About a Reward.

Since a motion has been filed in the
case of Ohio VS. William Henderson for
a new trial. a number of people have
been insisting that he would not be tried
for anything higher than second degree
murder in the event the new trial should
be granted. This is erroneous The
granting Of a new trial by the court that
sat I'm the case or by the securing Of a
new trial by reversal i'm a higher court
would have no effect whatever on the
Indictment that has been returned
against Henderson. It will not be nee
esaly to reiudict him, ana he would, in
the event of new trial, be tried on the
old Indictment, which is an Indictment
for murder i'm the first degree. 1t will
hardly be cuutcuded by those who have
been betting the other way that on an
indictment for murder in the first degree
verdict for first degree cannot be
found. else why should the Indictment
be for so high q crime. A number of
bets have been made on this subject and
81 gentleman asked the Ngws-DemoCrat
to make a statement with reference to
the matter, In order 60 settle the various
controversies. William Henderson, if
ne gets a new trial, could yet be sent to
the electric chair, though the present
verdict against him IS for second de-
gree and undertakes only the life sem
teuce.So II may seem that perhaps
MT. Henderson would ue somewhat bet
ter on iC he didn't set new trial. That
is @ matter thasp tbid develop In the
second trial.
The motion hasFtI been heard by the
court as yet and may not be next week
owing TO the condition OF Judge George
l.. Baldwin. When he Is able to make
one Of the arguments the matter win be
heatd. In the meantime Henderson re-
mains I'm the county jail, pacing up and
down the corridor during the day and
sleeping peacefully at night.
The reward in the case has not yet
been sought by those VINO assisted the
state to bring about a conviction. A
number of detectives worked on the
case, but there has been but one convic-
tior, and ii was stated on the stand that
old man Hartoug said that there were
four persons in the affair The county
commissioners are inclined to divide the
reward of 5000 into four parts, $50 for
the conviction of Henderson and $3.50
for each of the other three. But during
the progress Of the trial it was hinted
that there were more persons in the
case and that at least one person acted
as infomer. In that event he would be
as guilty as the others. If he gave the |
men information that led TO the robbery |
that resulted in murder, he would be as
guilty as the others, or if it could be |
shown that there was a conspiracy to |
rob the old man and there We're even
more than five I'm it, all would be held, |

MAY NOW AWARD CONTRACT.
INJUNCTION RESTRAINING NEW EAST
RIVER BRIDGE COMMISSION
Frs DISMISSED

Justice GiIdersleeve in the Supreme Court yester-
day dismissed the injunction which has restrained
the New East River Bridge Commissioners from
awarding a contract for the steel spans of the
bridge The Commissioners will meet tomorrow,
and they may take action upon the bids for the
spans which opened in August James w
Boyle one Of the Commissioners, said yesterday
that the contract for the bridge spans will not be
awarded until the Commission receives report
from its engineers upon all the bids presented.
The New Jersey Steel Company was the success
fl bidder for the steel work on the towers Of the
new bridge, although its bid was $4,000 higher than
that Of the Pennsylvania Steel Company. When
bids for the spans of the bridge were first asked
for the New-Jersey Steel Company and the King
Bridge Company of Cleveland, Ohio, were the only
competitors for the contract. On a technicality
the bids rejected and new bids were called
for The bids, which opened in August, were
made by the American Bridge Company, the Penn
sylvania Steel Company. the King Bridge Company
end the New-Jersey Steel Company. The Pennsyl-
yanta Steel Companys bid lower than that
Of the American Bridge Company, but $1,000 higher
than that OF the New-Jersey Steel Company.
1t has been asserted that the New-Jersey Steel
Company is a part of the American Bridge Com
pany. which has been spoken of the Bridge
Trust. The suit which Injunction was OBJ
tanned TO restrain the New East River Bridge Com
mission from acting upon the bids was brought by
julius Meyers, taxpayer. the ground that the
contract to be awarded did not provide for the
payment Of the prevailing rate Of wages to en-
pioyes by the contractor and the ground that
the steel 70 be used in the bridge spans is by the
terms Of the contract, Of a kind that can be sup
piled by only one company. In dsmissing the in
junction yesterday Justice Gildersleeve said:
The manifest purpose Of the requirements and
conditions prescribed by the Commissioners was TO
secure such results in the work would make the
structure durable and useful. At all events, they
cannot be said 10 be unreasonable and unfair
= constitute an abuse Of the discretion which the
Legislature has inTusted to the Commissioners
80 Tar as the policy Of the Commissioners may
tend TO limit competition. ii must be remembered
that the purpose OF the law in requiring municipal
corpora tons TO invite competition for public works
Is based on solid economic considerations. II was
never intended that municipal commissions should
preside irrespOnsibly over the competition of I'M
qualified bidders merely for the purpose of further
ing the interests of business The first considera-
ton IN work OF this magnitude is safety and per-
manence, and all conditions and qualifications af-
Testing bidder and contractor must tend TO secure
these.
