Sides
1t is not known when Judge TIxon will
come to arraign the men. They cannot
be arraigned before any other judge. 1t
is improbable he will come to Paterson
before the January term
1t is said that while the grand jury
was considering the case some of the
members were disposed to find an indict-
ment against Schulthorp on his own adj
missions as an accessory to the assault
at least, but they We're in the minority
The hackman claimed to know nothing
about the conditions of the girl when
she was bundled into his rig and that
when he arrived at the Rock read he
was coerced by two men, into doing as
he was told.
HEART WAS WEAK.
1t is alleged that in the course of the
discussion of the case among the mem
bers of the grand jury il was said that
Jenn1e,s heart was weak ana it was pos,
S1ble that this may have been the cause
OF her death, There was no evidence that
choral was administered, ard this ro.nt
can only be determined by analysis Of
the stomach or by confession from one
of The accused men. The physicians
could not say positively that death was
due to poisonous drug, but this mat,
ter will be cleared before the case comes
to trial. 1t was said in support of the
statement that death may have been due
to a weak heart, that on one occasion
Jennie, while standing on a street corner
talking to two young men, fell in a faint

girls organs is being made at a labora>
tory in New York city, of which Prof

neux, Rice and ether cases, is the head.
The analysis has not yet been completed
and no report has been made to the
county physician.
On this report much is said to depend
1t is said it may be reedful to accept
the confession of Campbell or Death or
both as witnesses and accept pleas OF
guilty from them to the crime Of assault
only. II the chemical analysis is strong
enough the confessions may got be used
Even if the analysis does lot establish
the administration of the drug, il is said
that the state may elect to eliminate that
feature of the matter and proceed to trial
upon the assumption that the violence
of the assault caused heart failure and
death, and that would entail the death
penalty as much as the administration
of the drug.
