STATE RESTS IN COLONIAL CASE
Speer Moves for Acquittal and Mo.
ton Is Denied.

The States case against DR.. Richard
Jahr, Undertaken William Necker and
Thomas J. Kelly, who are charged with
conspiring to defraud the Colonial Life
insurance Company, was concluded short
ly before noon today, the fifth day of the
trial
Lawyer William H. Speer, Jr., of the
defendants counsel, at once moved for
the direction of verdict of acquittal on
the grounds that the State had failed to
prove case against either Necker, Jahr
or Kelly. He dwelt particularly on the
fact that none of the evidence thus far
adduced had in any way implicated
Necker in the alleged conspiracy. 1t had
disclosed, the counsel declared, that
Necker had befriended Whiston-nothing
more.
Prosecutor Erwin opposed the motion
for the direction of verdict, contending
that the State had made out the strong
est possible case of conspiracy Judge
Blair denied the motion of the defend
ants counsel, saying
The Court feels that it ought not to
take the case from the jury. Much evil
dence has been taken and think It would
be safe to let the case rest with the jury.
The Court Is satisfied at the statements
made by counsel, but It would sseem that
It would be proper to allow the jury to
pass on the facts"

GUARDIANS GET CHILDREN
Freeholders Decide to Turn
Their Charges Over to
the State Board.

After refusing for two years to recog-
nize the State Board of Children's Guard
ians the Board of Freeholders at last
nights meeting passed a resolution turn
ing over to the custody of that
body all the countys dependent chill
dren now at the Snake Hill Almshouse
or under indenture to outside parties
Ae conference held at the office of the
Freeholders prior to the meeting of the
Board the Guardians were represented by
Preside1N Hugh F. Fox of Bayonne, Mrs.
Emily e. Williamson, Joseph McCrystal
of Paterson and the Re. ]. A. Atkinson Of
Elizabeth. The object of the conference
was to learn the plans of the Guardians
as to the youthful dependents in the
event Of the Board deciding to surrender
them.
The F'reeholders asked particularly what
would be done with the twenty-three
little ones who are deal or dumb, of weak
minds or siclxly. They We're told that
these unfortunates would be cared for in
different institutions where they would
have proper medical treatment The
Guardians said that in the event of the
State institutions being unable to ac-
commodate these children they would be
cared IOF III OLner nearby states.
Asked what course would be pursued
where a mother and several of her
children were inmates of the Almshouse,
the members of the State Board, said they
were adverse to separating mother and
children under such circumstances. They
said that the plan would be to provide
small apartments for such a family and
then seek work for the mother among the
charitably inclined people of the neigh
borhood This had been done in a recent
case in Bayonne had been found very
successful.
The Guardians said they already had 60
homes in which to place children and
could also provide for number of faith
full male incOrrigibles.
1t was stated that in only a small per-
centage of cases would the county be
obliged TO pay the $150 a week provided
by law for the support of pauper chill
dren outside of the Almshouse
The Guardians explained that their sys-
tenn was rather one of agreement than
indenture. This left them free to take
the little one from homes that were
found to be Objectionable
The transfer of the children to the GUS
todianship of the guardians will result
in a number of the Almshouse employees
losing their Jobs. The school teachers
services will not be required, and it Is
believed that the services Of the monitor,

Colored Secretary Tells of
the Work Done Among
His People.

The anniversary of the Freedman's Aid
Southern Education Society which is held
each year in connection with the Newark
Methodist Conference, was celebrated
last night at Trinity Methodist Church.
On the platform sat number of minis
ters. The decorations were palms and
numerous potted plants. The meeting was
opened with prayer by the Rev. S. o.
Rusby of Barryville, N. Y. The Rev. 5.
D. Decker of Deckertown, N. j.. presid-
ed. The address of the evening was made
by the Rev. M. C. B. Mason, DID,, col
cred, secretary of the society.
Mr.. Mason said.-"We are in the South
for the purpose of making one man equal
TO another; no two men are equal, but to
cultivate the waste places, the places
made desolate by the terrible hand of
slavery, and to bring the Southern people
to knowledge of the Christ. We are
to hasten the day when America shall
send the Gospel to all the world.
1--WE can congratulate ourselves that
we nave at least shown that no man
wherever born having the imprint of God
Almighty upon him, is incapable of giving
good account of himself If only he has
the chance. No man by decrying Others
can make himself better. No man can ele-
vate himself by degrading others.
