Colligan, it will be remembered, was charged with setting fire to the barn of Mrs. Beardsley next to the parsonage on Savin avenue, last winer, and in the trial in the borough court he was bound over to the present term of the superior court, criminal side. The old man was put to plea last week and in feeble voice, somewhat more so than when he answered to the charge in West Haven, he said Not guilty" and it was thought he would be put on trial this week. Colligan was put un- der bond of $500 on the suggestion of State Attorney Williams, and the bond was furnished by Dr. John T. Barnett. When Colligans name was called at the session of the court on the following day Colligan was not there. In the time between the day he was put to piea ana the ddy ne uiu HoL Tespohu to his name all had been settled between the state and Colligan, and now ne is again as free as the borough air His familiar old figure was seen about the borough Sunday, and when his old friends heard of his good fortune he was congratulated heartily by them.

 All might have been well with the plotters had not Margaret gone to the general on the preceding day and told him all. This was accompanied by a plea of mercy for her father which led
 in the end, to some leniency being
 shown to him. Washingtons body
 guard was on handt at the critical time, and when Ettrick, mistaking the
 sounds outside for the arrival of his
 helpers, boldly leveled his pistol on
 Washington and said: You are my prisoner!" the general responded by saying: You are Amine!' As usual, Washington knew what he was talking about, and the Tory was quickly bound
 by the soldiers who burst into the room.
 Each of the steps in this plot are graphically portrayed in the play and utmost pains have been taken to faith fully reproduce the spirit of this his tcrical incident as well as the accesso- ries such as the colonial costumes and dwelling interiors The dinner scene in cludes a real dinner and shows Wash ington'S matchless self-control while engaging in table pleasantries, with his traitor host The company is a large one, including as it does such well known players as Maude Granger Eleanor Carey, Gertrude Perry Macey Harlan.

Hyperion Theater.


 The most thrilling incident in the per sonal life of Washington was probably the all but successful attempt to kid nap Washington in May, 17S2, which is brought out in the new colonial play King Washington, to be seen here this evening at the Hyperion.
 The r-in-chief established his headquarters at the Hasbrouck house in Newburgh, N Y, on April 4, 17S2, while the army was scattered at various points further down the river, and there were but few soldiers in that vicinity This circumstance led a lit- tie band of Tories to plan the actual kidnapping of the general
 A man named Ettrick led in this plot, and he forwarded to the British com- mander, then in New York city, the plan and asked for aid. This was promised, and Louis Paschal, half French and half Indian, was given the delicate and hazardous mission of mak- ing his way through the lines. He was to represent himself as French ad- mirer of Washington and to support himself by teaching the young women of Newburgh the French language. To gain Washington's confidence he was to give information of a contemplated attack upon one Of the forts on the Hudson by the British gunboats; all of which, in time, duly came to pass.
 In time, also, Ettrick's daughter Mar garet became PaschaPs pupil in French, but was not trusted with the secret, which was soon perfected with her fa- ther. Her sharp wits, however, were more than match for the masculine plotters and then began the struggle between love; for she had grown to en- certain this tender passion for her in- structor, and patriotism; for in politics she secretly did not follow in her la ther's footsteps. The situation was still further complicated by the occasional visits of an American officer by the name of Jonathan Ford, for whom Mar garet entertained sincere regard. The culmination of the plot occurred when Washington accepted an invitation to dinner at Ettrick's-a secluded farm house, four miles south of Newburgh, near Murderer's Creek-and took with him only a single companion. The plan was to overpower the general, and hur " him down the river by night to New York, in a small boat. This portion of the enterprise being entrusted to Paschal and several Indians, well skill
