ed.
Sheriff Bower was instructed not to
summon any petit jurors for next Friday,
as the criminal business set down for that
day has been postponed. because of the
probable inability of counsel for the de-
PENDANTS to appear at that time.
Surrogate Endicott had refused to pro-
bate the will of Joseph Y Scroggy, de-
ceased, of Pemberton, because the tes-
tator had failed to attach his signature to
the document, and this matter was the
subject of hearing in the Orphans
court. Lidie s. Cross, who is named as
the executrix, subsequently became the
wife of the deceased. James B. Hawkins
was custodian of the paper. He and one
of the subscribing witnesses testified as to
the genuineness of the will, and further
investigation was postponed until next
Saturday, in order to enable the other sub
scribing witness to testify, as he could not
be present on Saturday owing to illness.
Frank Ross, of West Palmyra, was
brought from the jail under habeas cor
pus proceedings. The young man was
arrested on warrant issued by Justice
Hires, charging him with rape, the COM
plainant being Josephine Graham, aged II
years. Herbert Drake, counsel for Ross,
sought to have his client discharged on
the ground that no crime had been COM
mitted, and on this point testimony was
taken. The alleged assault took place on
Sunday afternoon, January 81. After
several persons had testified, Judge Gas
kill remanded the prisoner on the charge
of rape, which, he said, would cover
whatever crime the grand jury might find
in the case Bail was fixed in the sum of
$500.
George Dennison and Samuel Harrison,
of Lakewood, entered a plea of guilty
to breaking into several stations on the
line of the New Jersey Central Railroad
and stealing money from slot machines
Dennison seemed anxious to avoid delay
and wanted sentence imposed at once,
stating that he did not want his mother to
learn of his position. Both men said they
had not been in trouble before Judge
Gaskill, however, ordered that an investi-
cation be made of their character, the
result of which will deter mine the degree
of punishment.

A special meeting of the Township
Committee was held in the Town Hall
Friday night. The directors of the Far
mers' Telephone Company again intro
duced the Oak avenue ordinance and
again the committee refused to grant it.
First, because of resolution on their
books not to grant any new franchises for
the erection of poles in the town; secondly,
because the residents of Oak avenue have
filed protests against the granting of the
ordinance, and thirdly, because they con-
sidered it breach of faith on the part of
the Telephone Company to ask to come
into town after the understanding at the
time their original ordinance was granted
not to ask that privilege. The Tele-
phone Company made a strong plea.

for phones, but it was of no avail The
