who has been Assistant Secretary for
years, has stepped down and out. His
successor viii be Republican. 1t is also
reported that f. s. McNeeley, Demo
Graf, who has been chief clerk in the
Comptroller's Office for long time, is
also about to resign and make room for a
Republican. This is good move on the
part of both Of these men, the only fault
being it did not occur sooner. By some
sentiment Republican officer holders ap-

In their employ members of the opposite

On the same basis we have not been able
to discover why. in preparing bill for
the publication of the laws, there should
be an irlsistment for equal Idivision with

GEORGE CHI HAINEs
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1902-04-08


THERii was some lying in the Haines
case. Cine witness Palfrey-gave
very damaging testimony, and Mrs.
Haines discredited it by testifying she
never saw Mrs. Palfrey until the day the
latter took the witness stand. John
@ Bolton, the Moorestown undertaken,
swore to state of affairs for the state and
then contradicted his own testimony on be-
half OF the defence. Had the man stuck
TO one side he might have been of some
benefit, but the character of his testimony
and the manner in which he gave it made
him an object of distrust and ridicule in
all quarters. Notwithstanding Bolton
told his story under oath, Judge Garrison
In his charge to the jury, pronounced the
evidence uncertain, vascillating, lack
ing anything sure, worthless" 1t is a
pretty hard thing to say of man that
you do not believe what he has said, but
to have Judge pronounce publicly to a
jury that your evidence given under the
sanctity of an oath is worthless is much
harder. The good people of law-abiding,
truth-telling Moorestown must be proud
of citizen Bolton.

NOT GUILTY. That was the verdict
rendered by the twelve men who were Sc
lected to inquire into the accusations
against the woman who has been in our
county prison charged with a heinous
crime. The court was compelled to &C.
cept the verdict, the prisoner has been
given her liberty, but there are very few
people who do not feel that justice has
been outraged, and that a guilty woman
has been allowed to escape deserved pun
ishment. 1t is useless to argue the case
here. 1t is an incident of the past. Mrs.
Haines has left the jail which has been
her home during the past year, but she
carries with her stigma that will be
with her as long as she lives. No matter
where she goes she will be pointed out as
the woman who was acquitted of a crime
for which she should have been convicted.
Her little girl baby born in prison will be
branded with her mothers shame and the
little boy, compelled to be with her in her
prison home, will also be obliged to
share an ignominy which even time will
never efface. And this is not all. The
men which rendered this unjust verdict
will also be pointed to as members of the
jury which said it was no crime to batter
and bruise unto death an innocent child
unable to protect itself
On the verdict in the Haines trial the
Philadelphia Bulletin says: There re-
manned the question whether the manifest
external injuries found, which were de-
clared to have been the cause of death by
reputable physicians, were inflicted by
violence in fit of passion or with the ma
licious intent to iniure or to kill The
jury plainly considered that adequate
proof of murderous purpose was lacking;
but they seemed to have paid very little
attention to the explicit judicial reminder
that under the law they had full power
to bring in verdict of manslaughter. On
this point the Judge is quoted as saying:
The Court of Errors and Appeals has
held that when person without any in
tention of causing death has started to in
flict punishment and when through ner-
vousness or irritation the punishment has
been carried to excess and death resulted,
the verdict should be manslaughter.
There are in this case certain features
that indicate such conditions if you take
as facts the evidence presented.
.Why this vital feature should have been
apparently disregarded entirely by the
twelve men entrusted with one of the

THREE ACRES, $2,25,
City Of Richmond Stumbles
on g Bargain in Real
Estate.

The fact that three acres of land could
exist near the city of Richmond. to which
no one laid a legal claim. is one that
would be doubted by many people on
first thought. 1t is true, nevertheless.
When The city began to cast about for
q site for the proposed settling basin for
clear water. and the property belonging
to the T. c. Williams estate was decid-
ed upon and purchased. it was ascertained
that there was three acres OF land adjon-
ing this tract which no one claimed. It
was not the property of the Williams es-
tate. nor of the Chesa peake and Ohio
Railway Company. nor of any Of the o.her
property owners in the vicinity. The city
wanted the land for its proposed i'm
provements, and 10 one could give 1t a
deed for it. Indeed, no one claimed the
three acres, and the city wanted the
land.
In order to get the property it was but
a matter of little eXert;on, and to the
State superintendent Boiling went. The
matter was laid before Governor Mon
tague. and this resulted in the issuance
Of grant conveying the three acres to
the city for a consideration OF S2.25. The
grant has not yet been recorded in the
office of the clerk Of the Chancery Court.
but it is expected that it VIII be in

Edward Stern, who has been saying that
his name was "E. J. Crawford to one
person and to the next that it was Stern.
is still being held at the city Jail while
Chief of-Detectives Tomlinson awaits in
formation from the Chief-of-Police OF
Philadelphia.
The young man was arrested fr1oay
afternoon by Captain Tomlinson at the
Lexington Hotel, and is charged with
being a suspicious character. When he
was aTraigned before Justice Crutchiieid
in the Police Court yesterday morning,
Captain Tominson asked that he be held
for ten days. pending an investigation.
Stern says he left Philadelphia two
weeks ago. How or why he does
not know. He says that he does not re-
member getting on the train, but remem-
becs being in Baltimore and had in his
pocket receipted bill for SIS from the
Lexington Hotel. in Baltimore.
This bill was made out in the name of
Crawford" Stern was asked why he
was using that name or why he had used
it? To this question he replied: THAT is
exactly what l am trying to find out. l
do not remember. From Baltimore Stern
came to this city via the York River Line
and after applying at FOrd's Hotel for
board and being refused, he went to
the Lexington, where he registered under
the name of Il. J. era WfOrd, New YORK.
HE HAD NO BAGGAGE
He contracted numerous bills with livery
stables, billiard rooms and bars. These lie
did not pay, and the matter was reported
to the police. He told yarns of his wealthy
father, and Of a check of $1,000 he would
receive in a few days. He invited several
employees of the hotel to make tour
of the South at his expense.
To Captain Tomlinson he said that his
correct name is Edward Stern. and that
his home is No. 14z3 Franklin street, Phil
adelphia. The detective asked him if he
lived there during the year $780, Stern
asked if he had directory to Philadel-
phia. To this question Mr.. Tomlinson
said that he had one for 1900. Stern then
told him that he would find that his
mother lived at No. 1902 north Sixth street
during that year. This the detective
found to be correct. His mothers name
is Rebecca Stern. widow of Louis Stern.
who the boy told a Dispatch reporter
had been dead since 1897.
The police are of the opinion that Stern
has escaped from some reformatory or has
committed some crime in Philadelphia,
from which he is trying to fee. This ne
most emphaticaily denies. When the
question was put to him by one of the
Jail officials Stern was visiby affected,
and there was a nervous twitch in his
eyes. After this ne seemed to become very
nervous.
