BODY IN A BASKET
Dead Woman's Stout Corpse
Lowered to the Ground
From a Hay Loft.

Residents of Herman avenue, Gutten-
berg, were treated to a peculiar and rath-
,er gruesome spectacle yesterday when
the body of Mrs Louise Anderegg was
lowered out of hay loft in a basket by
means of scaffold which was hastily
rugged by Simon Sharp, Undertaken Arm
strong's assistant.
Mrs. Anderegg, who was forty-four
years old, lived in an old barn on the
street named. She managed to eke out a
meagre living for herself and daughter
by selling milk from three cows which
she managed to retain.
The cows were housed at night in
stalls in the lower part of the stable,
and the woman and her daughter slept
and ate in the hay loft above.
Mrs. Anderegg had long been a suffer
er from heart disease and dropsy. Yester-
day she complained of feeling i'll. When
her daughter returned from delivering
milk she found her mother lying dead
in bed
Undertaken Armstrong was directed to
take charge of the body. When he ar
rived at the stable he found only a small
hole leading to the loft above by lad
der The hole was so small that he was
unable to lower the body through it.
There was a door opening out upon the
yard from the loft, used to take in hay
and feed
Backing his wagon up under the door,
Simon Sharp, Undertaken Armstrong;
assistant, and William Schumann, the
driver of the wagon, rugged up seaffold
by means of two beams. The body of
the dead woman was then placed in the
undertaker's basket and gently lowered
to the ground and placed in the wagon.
The strange spectacle attracted the at
tention of large number of spectators
and quite large crowd collected.

O'bRlE:N'S BAD FIX
The " Commish /" and Eel
low Victims Held for the
Grand Jury by Judge
Hoos.
NOT VISIBLE IN COURT
Law Defined Regarding the
Responsibility for Sunday
Liquor Selling.
NOT VISIBLE IN COURT

Police Justice Hoos in the First Crinli-
nal Court this morning, held Charles
Reers, a Newark avenue saioonkeeper,
to await the action of the Grand jury on
a charge of selling intoxicating liquor on
Sunday. The evidence against keers
was secured by Julius G. Frank and his
assistant temperance sleuth, Robert Me-
Crum, who also bagged Excise Commas
sioner John O'Brien, Patrick McArdle
around town last Sunday.
AS 'Commish" O'Brien and the other
two defendants, waived examination
promising to abide by the decision in
Rcers-s case, the complaints against them
will also be investigated by the Grand
Jury.
WHERE WAS THE COMMISH?
There was much comment in the court
room over the apparent absence OF De-
fendant O'Brien, who had been paroled
in Lawyer James Manning's custody to
appear this morning to hear Justice
Hoos's decision.
If Mr.. O'Brien was in court he must
have been in disguise. Nobody salntad
anybody in the room as sCommish
while the Justice was expounding tie
law in telling why he held Reers
THE LAW DEFINED.
Justice Hoos said that the upper
courts have held that there is nothing in
the act of 1898 which is inconsistent
with the Werts liquor law, therefore the
owner of saloon is responsible for the
sale of liquor by an employee.
Mr.. Reers counsel had contended
that under the law of '9S, the bartender
who sold the beer to young Frank and
McCrum was liable to arrest and not
Reers, who wasn't in the saloon at the
time.
Judge Hoos said that the saloonkeep-
er got all the profits and the purpose Of
the law, as defined by the courts, placed
upon him all liability for violating the
.'Commish' o'Brien, Reers. McArdIe
and Basford & Glen We're paroled in the
custody of their counsel.

CENTRAL BRIDGE
Mile Long Steel Structure
on Solid Stone Piers to
Connect Bayonne
and Newark.

The Central Railroad of New Jersey
has just perfected plans for the con-
structure of new and substantial steel
bridge across Newark Bay, the cost of
which will run close into a million.
The new structure viii be more than a
mile in its total length, and will provide
draws over the channel in conformity
with the recent regulations of the Unit
ed States Navy Department. The plans
provide a clearance of 100 feet each side
of the central pedestal.
The foundations of the new bridge will
be built of masonry, sunk below the sur
face of Newark Bay to be rock, and
the architectural design is impressive for
its solidity, the object of the engineers
being to construct the new bridge in so
substantial manner that express trains
of the heaviest weight-especially those
used in making up the New York and
Philadelphia limited-may pass over at
speed without vibration.
The new bridge will be the chief ar
terry for all express passenger trains on
the main line to Philadelphia and of the
Bound Brook route.
The present structure is constructed
throughout of wood and rests on cause
way built entirely of wooden piles.
Contracts for the new bridge have al
ready been signed, and work on the
structure will begin as soon as General
Manager Bentley and other officers of
the Central Railroad approve them. One
of the specifications in the contracts pro-
vides that the new bridge must be con-
structed so as not to interfere with traf-
fic.

DETECTIVE ATTACKED
Veracity of States Chief Wit
ness in Long Branch Cases
Questioned.

Especial to the Jersey City News.')
FREEHOLD, Aug. 2, 1902.-County
Detective Charles E. Strong, of Colts
Neck, the man who was chiefly instru-
mental in acquiring the evidence which
has resulted in the closing of the Long
Branch gambling houses, was given a
terrific shake-up in court here yesterday.
After the Long Branch gamblers had
pleaded, the trial of Mrs. Julia Smith,
Colts Neck, by whom Mrs. Smith is en-
ployed, had engaged e. w. Arrowsmith
and Edmund Wilson to defend the wo-
man. Mr. Giberson is rich old For
ty-niner," who made his money in the
gold regions of California, and he APP
Strong had been securing evidence
against the defendant and was also in
court, and gave testimony against Mrs.
Smith
Mr.. Giberson took the stand and swore
to the woman's good reputation in the
community. Mr.. Arrowsmith then asked
him what Mr.. Strong's reputation for
truth and veracity was. Mr.. Giberson
hesitated, and glancing at Mr.. Strong
said:-
'Shall | answer, CharleyY'
Speak out" said Strong.
'Well, l wouldn't believe him under
OATH" said Giberson.
John Drum, of East Freehold, also
swore Mr.. Strong's reputation was bad
and that he would not beleieve him under
oath. John A. Smock, of Colts Neck,
swore that Mr.. Strong owed him money,
but he was not prepared to say whether
he would or would not believe him under
oath. Frank e. Heyer, of Colts Neck,
swore that he did not know what Mr..
Strong's reputation was, although Mr..
Giberson swore that Mr.. Heyer had told
him he, too. wouldn't believe Mr.. Strong
under OATH
Prosecutor Fester asked Mr.. Giberson
if he was on good terms with his neigh
bor Strong, and Giberson said he was.
The Prosecutor said he was surprised
that he should be ON such good terms
with a man with such an alleged repu-
tation, and Mr. Giberson replied
IF | lived beside the devil would try
to keep on good terms with him.
The jury acquitted Mrs. Smith.
Some people are wondering whether
the attempt to besmirch Mr.. Strong is
not the prelude of the big fight to indict
the gamblers by attacking the veracity
of the States main witness.
