c1Ty COURT CASES.

One of the most deplorable cases of
non-s11nport that has come before the
citv court in many month was the
one heard by Judge Bishop yesterday
morning when Samuel E. Ives of No.
a. state street was charged with failing
70 support his wife and four small

ivI for six months or go to Jail for
sixty days. Ives went to jail,
Another non-support case was that Of
Alice Walker against Samuel Walker.

ing the support of the child or go to

WOODWARD PAYS THE PENALTY.
Murderer of Two Boys at Camden. N.
J., Hanged.


Camden. N. j., Jan. Paul Wood
ward, aged seventeen years, was hang
ed in the county jail to-day. The drop
fell at 1905 o'clock and he was pro-
nounced dead ten minutes later. He
showed remarkable nerve to the end.
Last night he staggered the sheriff
with a request for permission to go to
the theater and see last nights per-
Torrance of "Why Women SIM
Woodward has been a constant read
err of the local papers since he was in
jail. Last evening he read them, in
Guiding the reviews of the theatrical
performances Of last night. Then he
sent for Sheriff Mines and said he had
a request to make. The sheriff told
him that If it was anything within his
power it would be granted.
The sheriff was almost taken off his
feet when Woodward made his extra
ordinary request.
The crime for which Paul Woodward
was executed to-day was the murder
est October, Of John Griffin, aged II
years, and Price Jennings, aged IA
years. The boys disappeared from
their homes and their bodies were
found in a wood near Haddon Heights,
near here Meantime Woodward had
gone to the Coffin home and said he
could find the boys If a suitable reward
was offered. This caused suspicion
and investigation. Woodward was
seen with the lads on the day they
disappeared and the three purchased
pies near the scene Of the murder.
An analysis of the boys stomachs
showed that they died from arsenical
poisoning. Woodward bought arsenic
few days prior to the boys disappear
ance. He was tried and convicted OF
murder. Counsel for the prosecution
said that Woodward poisoned the boys
to rob them. When the boys left home
| they had $40, but when their bodies
were found their pockets did not con-
tain a cent.

Murray and Mack company, and the
