WANTING F?
Lawyers Claim BaiIiff Turner
Could Not Make Arrest
Without a Warrant.

A motion for new trial in the case of
the State VS.. Jack Jones, colored, who
was convicted of resisting an officer,
was heard before Judge Parks of the
city court Thursday The case is a
rather unusual one, and Involves
delicate and technical question of
law.
Jones was convicted at tho last term
of the city court on the charge above
stated and sentenced to twelve months
in the changing. The proof showed
that Bailiff j Il. Turner attempted to
arrest him for w:fe-whlpping, and the
negro seized the officer and drew a
pistol on him. At the time of making
the arrest the bailiff did not have the
warrant with him, but was acting
under orders of Sheriff Christie,
who had exhi bited the document to
him but retained it himself, thinking
he might possibly make the arrest.
The attorneys for the defendant
claim that their clients arrest under
these circumstances was illegal, and
that he had the right to resist the
bailiff. Judge Parks overruled the
point and refused to grant new trial.
The case has been taken to the su-
preme court.

MINDER NOT TO DIE.
United States Judge Calls on
Georgia to Defend.

Saturdays Macon Telegraph says
Isador Minder's lease on life has been
renewed.
1t will be perhaps year or more be-
fore he can again be sentenced to
death, if then.
Justice White has signed the writ
of error, and an appeal is now taken TO
the United States supreme court.
The writ of error acts as rule nisi,
calling upon the state authorities TO
show why Minder was not about to be
deprived of his life withoutdue process
of law. Attorney General Terrell will
probably assist the solicitor general of
the circuit in representing the state.
Minder's attorneys are anxious 70
have remedied what they consider a
serious defect in the criminal practice
of the country. They have taken the
ground that man should not be de-
prived of his life in one state without
first having the opportunity of securing
testimony that he might want from an
other state. Under the present law the
court notifies the witness OF the other
state that the case will be tried at a
certain time, and he is wanted to give
his testimony. If the witness sees fit
to come he may do so, otherwise the
court is powerless to compel him to
come or to force him to make deposit
ti0ns about the facts concerning which
he Is supposed to have knowledge.
If the supreme court of the United
States agrees with the attorneys that
this is a defect in the criminal law 1t
will be asked to suggest to congress to
pass a law covering the case.

SENDS PISTOL BALL
INTO His own HEAD.
JEFF MARSHALL, A FORMER YOUNG
DAWSONlAN, COMMITS SUICIDE.
The Deed Explained in a Letter He Left
Saying He Thought He Was Becoming
Insane. Dawson Shocked by
the Tragedy.

The people of Dawson were mex
pressibly shocked Friday afternoon
when telegram was received here
stating that Mr.. jeff Marshall had
been mortally wounded by his own
hands at his fathers home near Eaton
ton shortly before noon on that day.
The deed was committed with re-
volver, the unfortunate young man
placing the weapon to his left temple
and firing the contents into bis head,
both eyes being shot from their sock
cts. He was found in his buggy soon
afterwards and retained consciousness,
it is said, for several hours. He lin
gered, lowering between life and death,
until late Saturday afternoon, when he
breathed his last.
The tragedy is explained by letter
written shortly before his death, in
which Mr.. Marshall stated that his
mind was giving way and that he had
rather be dead than have to go to the
state sanitarium, as he feared would
be the case. The letter was written
in the room in which were both his
mother and father, who asked him if
he was writing to his brother in Daw-
son, TO which query a negative an
swer was given but no hint as to the
real contents OF what proved to be his
last written message.
Mr.. Marshall lived for several years
in Dawson and was until short time
ago member of the drug firm of Far
rar, Harris & Marshall of this city, he
selling his interest in this business
and leaving Dawson on account of bad
health. He was prominent both in the
social .and business world, and had
hosts of friends throughout this sec
ton.
The news of the sad occurrence was
heard with sincere and deep regret,
and a shadow of sorrow was cast over
the entire city.

evening in the clubhouse on Bergen ave

NEW ?. R. R. TERMINUS
Tracks Will Cross Central
En- Route to Staten
Island Sound.

Terminal facilities on the shore OF
Staten Island Sound, long desired by the
Pennsylvania Railroad, were obtained
yesterday, when the necessary legal per-
mission was granted to the recently In
corporated New Jersey Traction Railroad
Company to cross the tracks OF the Long
Branch division of the New Jersey. Ges.-
tral RAILROAD, on an elevated structure.
At the time of the Incorporation of the
New Jersey Terminal its exact aim and
scope was not known, but now it is be-
lieved to be backed entirely by Pennsyl-
vania Railroad interests.
A law passed several years ago provides
that the Chancellor shall fix the manner
in which the tracks of one railroad shall
cross those of another. where the com
panies cannot agree. In accordance with
that provision William Fl. Corbin OF JeT-
sey City. as counsel for the New Jersey
Terminal Railroad, submitted yesterday
for the Chancellor's signature q decree
which authorizes the terminal company
to construct crossing bride over the
Centrars tracks. twenty-five feet above
the established and existing level of the
rails The crossing is at a point in Wood
bridge Township. about half mile be-
low what is known as the old Railway
road and midway between the stations at
Carteret and Seawaren.
Mr. Corbin explained to the court that
the original plan of the company had
been to cross the Central at an elevation
of nineteen feet. This is the accepted
standard, but the Central insisted that the
new bridge should be three feet higher,
and as the change would make no par
ticular difference to his company and
seemed to be satisfactory to all around,
it was accepted and the Chancellor put
his name to the decree.
Mr. Corbin declined to give any infor-
nation as to the terminal company's
plans. Robert w. De Forest, general
counsel of the Central, did not appear in
person, but lawyer connected with the
railroads legal department represented
him, and consented to the decree. He ex-
planned that the terminal railroad COM
pany was incorporated last month for
the purpose of building a line from con-
nection with the Perth Amboy and Wood
bridge branch of the Pennsylvania to
Island View. on the Sound shore. near
Port Rea aaing.
This new company is supposedly an
independent corporation said Mr.. De
Forests representative, 'but 1t appears
to our people as if it was backed by
Pennsylvania interests. Its connection
with the Pennsylvania branch seems
highly significant. Beyond doubt it Is

company has acquired near ous on the

ness which we now control

Treasurer Edgar A. Vreeland sprung a
surprise by limiting that there We're some
members well able to contribute to the
support of the club who did not do so.
Vreeland laid particular stress upon the
recent campaign expenses which, he said
were betrayed by one or two members
The greater part, Of the expense was
borne by United States Commissioner
Michael +. Pagan, the Ward leader.
Treasurer vreeland declared that it was was
not right that other club members should
be relieved of bearing some of the ex-
pense The recent campaign expenses
amounted to something over 5000. This
included money spent for meetings and
parades.

Vreeland said You people want jobs
but you don't care about helping the club
along. There are office holders here who
should do something to help the club

THE OPEN SALOON
Mr.. Wood Lectures on Temperance
to the Epworth Union.

"a Great Conspiracy Unmasked' was
the subject of an address by the Rev.
Hervey Wood, of the National Temper
ance Society and New Jersey Church and
Civic League, at st. Pauls Methodist
Church, in Third street, last night de-
livered under the auspices of the Jersey
City Epworth Union. The speaker said,
among other things:-"The open saloon
question in New York City is an effort
to extend the liquor traffic. 1t is the
entering wedge, and, If successful, eff
forts will be made in other great cities.
Our American Sabbath is in danger. The
open saloon is blow at the church. If
the Sabbath goes, the church must go
with it. If successful, the laboring
classes will suffer most"
The speaker called attention to the fact
that only three Protestant clergymen had
so far endorsed it, and said that the great
body of Protestant clergy and laity We're
opposed to ''the open saloon, and especial
" on Sunday He declared that the
army canteen was also a conspiracy. The
press, he said was subsidized to the
liquor traffic Nearly all the allegations
of the papers had, upon investigation,
been found to be false.
The speaker quoted H. N. Deavett,
Esq, an attorney at law of Winooski, as
having said:--"There is far less drunken
ness among soldiers visiting our town
since the canteen at the fort ETHAN Al
ien) was done away with. There can be
no honest question about that
.'The facts have been distorted with re-
spect to the other army posts, as our
Investigations have demonstrated, de-
clared the speaker These newspaper
reports all evince the same authorship or
writer, as comparison makes apparent.
1t is a conspiracy to falsify in the inter
ests of the trade. They want the anti
canteen law repealed The liquor traffic
cannot be overcome by the Prohibition
party, the Republican party or by the
Democratic party, but by the church
alone What the church can do was
demonstrated by the race track campaign
a few years ago. We must nominate and
elect clean Christian men who will enact
and enforce righteous law. The example
of our late lamented President IS an in
spring illustration of noble Christian
