Paterson, n. j. Jan. 3O.-George j.
Kerr, who was jointly indicted with Nc
Alister, Campbell and Death on a charge
of rape and murder in the first degree
in connection with the death of Jennie
Bosschieter, was unexpectedly brought
into court before Judge Dixon, when he
pleaded nonvult to the charge of rape.
John NJ. Harding, counsel for the prisoner,
addressed the court and said that Kerr
was not present when the Knockout drops
were administered to Jennie Bosschieter,
and neither did he assault the girl when she
was taken from the carriage on the Rock
road. Cousel said that he hoped that the
prosecutor would take this into considera-
ton and accept plea of nonvult.
The plea of nOnvult is one that is very
seldom used, and as a consequence is by
many not understood. Its meaning, as
far as can be ascertained, is that the
person making it does not make a con-
fession nor plead guilty, but merely that
he will not contend the question with
the state, but will throw himself on its
mercy. 1t seems to indicate that Kerr felt
absolutely sure of a conviction if he
went to trial, but at the same time he
was not willing to admit that he was
guilty.
