lice Justice Andrew S. Taylor, of South Orange,

nection with this He said he did not believe
Glover to be normal man. He said he had
observed him carefully and had made up his
mind he not. The justice further declared
that If he had not thought Glover abnormal,
he would have punished him at once.
Village Clerk M. A. Fftzsimmons testified that
after the fire at Glover's house, which had been
started by the boy, Glover had said to him:
IF live, l propose to take and teach that

Fftzsimmons said he warned Glover not to do
this. Fire Chief Becker corroborated this with
a similar statement of a dialogue between him

Glover he would not want to see him do such
thing.
