Edward Griffin Must Face
the Grand Jury for the
Killing ofSokoloski
sHAuaRNEssY ALSO HELD
Charge Against Him Is As
sault With Intent to Kill
and His Ball Is $500

The hearing of the charge of murder
against Edward Griffin. of Eighteenth
street. accused of the murder of Domin-
lex Sokoloski, and of the charge of as
sault against Timothy Shaughnessy, EN-
ployed as a watchman at the Erie Milk
depot on William Uscavidschki, took
place before Police Justice Higgins in the
First Criminal Court this morning.
Despite the able efforts of Former AS
sistant Prosecutor Noonan to prove that
Griffin should be held on any other
charge than that of assault and battery
he was held for the grand jury on the
charge Of murder. Schaughnessy was al
50 held for the same body on the charge
of assault with intent to kill, Bail was
subsequently fixed in his case at 81 800.
The court room was packed to suffo-
catie Both cases were tried at once.
Griffin and Schaughnessy both occupied
the prison pen. The former looked
thoughtful but did not cover under the
serious charge of murder.
Peter Hoeznik who was also assaulted
by the same gang that set upon Soholoski
amt upon whom Griffin is also charged
with atrocious assault, sat within the
rail with his head bandaged. He came
near meeting with Soholoski's fate Both
men were taken after the assault to the
City Hospital in a serious condition.
Solloloski died shortly after reaching the
Hospital. He had hole in his head at
the base of the brain, which apparently
had been inflicted with a cotton hook.
Tie case grew out of the strike of the
Mex York and New Haven freight hand
lers. Sokoloski and Hoeznik were strike
i rs. With number of other strike
who had taken the places of
,nes u strike at Pier No. 1s. North Riy-
er. on the Manhattan side they came
Dver Erie Ferry TO this city on satur-
day evening last. about seven o'clock.
They were passing up Payonia avenue
In small groups when the group they
were in were set upon by some of the
strikers and their sympathizers on this
side of the river. Griffin was not one of
kha a4r;lyors NJ bo5 l,aS,, o,,+ 1e r,-,,,.l-
for month, but he sympathized with
the strikers. He is the only one SO far
pf whom there is evidence showing he
struck blow
The charge against Watchman
Ehaughnessy is that he held on to Uncav-
Idschki when the latter ran from a crowd
that attacked the group he was in while
two men beat him over the head. I'm
ravilschki could not identify his other as
sailants because of momentary blindness
caused by blood flowing from wounds in
the head.
Assseant Prosecutor Vickers conduct
ed the hearing for the state. He and
Counsellor Noonan had several lively
lifts. At one stage Of the proceedings
Mr.. Noonan intimated that Mr.. yickers
was feeble-minded and Mr.. viekers re-
lorted that he was a younger man than
Mr.. Noonan and Mr. Noonan was there
fore more feeble-minded than he was.

COLONY ROADS.

The colony people are inter-
ested in the opening of the roads
as mapped out in the original
survey of the domain. Without
these roads, Of course the colony
plan would be greatly married,
and these people have just come
to understand that it is neces-
sary to go through certain forms
required by the state laws to
lega1ize these roads.
First, it is necessary to make
application to the county COM
missioners, who appoint three
commissioners or reviewers who
are required to make report, un-
der oath, as to the utility of the
road, then if the board sees prop
er to do so, they advertise and
legalize the highway.

Will Editor Mercer please ex-

ed themselves for Parker? If
the people in any county in Geor-
gla, or anywhere else for that
matter, have been given the right
or privilege to express their
choice for presidential candi-
date we have never heard of it.
The politicians are for Parker,
and we believe the trusts and
monopolies are, but as for the
people-the common peop1e-we
are not prepared to say whom
they are for. We would have
liked very much for the people
of Georgia to have been given the
opportunity to say for whom
they wanted to vote for president
in the national elections. We do
not believe in professional politi-

We can not speak for Campbell
county, Editor Tony, but we can
for Irwin and some others. IT.
win expressed her preference for
Parker in the only way that was
offered and that was the organi-
cation of a Parker c1ub-not a
politician was in it. Although a
large number of our people
common people if you please,
often expressed, open and above
board preference for Parker.
We heard but little of any other
candidate. The county's vote
was cas-. for Parker in the state
convention in spite of the polite
iansin the state whounder took to
secure at least one of the votes
in the convention. Yes, Irwin
was for Parker and voted for
Parker in spite of the politicians
and some of the counties in this
part of the state overwhelmingly
for Parker were controlled, fixed
by the politicians and their votes
were cast for the only Hearst
man before the convention.
