charged with seduction on complaint
of Miss Annie Hubbell, of Metuchen.
Edmonds was arrested at Jersey City

by Mayor Litterst of Metuchen.
Edmonds has been courting the
Hubbell girl for year, it is said, and
posed as single man. The girl
until two months ago was employed
in Plainfeld. At that time she drew
out the money she had in a bank
there and went to Metuchen announc-
ing that she expected to get married.
Mrs. Edmonds, who had been sus-
pecting everything was not right for
some months, recently found letter
hidden in the house between the
pages of a book. 1t was addressed to
her husband from the Metuchen girl
and read:
81 cannot meet yea on Thursday,
but Will on trttay IN the same o'd
place by the old white gate
Friday Mrs. EdInonds went 10 Met
uchen after her husband, who is en-
ployed as a plumber by the Central

ed upon the Hubbell girl to whom
she introduced herself as the wife of
the man the girl was counting. The
two arranged to meet Edmonds as
planned by Miss Hubell in her letter,
the meeting place being near the
Robinvale station, of the Pennsylvan
ia railroad.
On seeing Mrs. Edmonds there and
upon her demanding an explanation
Edmonds fled. He returned to his
home and packed his belongings, but
his wife traced him to Jersey City
where the officer arrested him on the
warrant issued upon the girls com
plant.
The girl told Mrs. Edmonds she
had been told by Edmonds recently
that he was married, but that should
make no difference as they could go
south and wed there where they
could live quietly.

R. F. Hanson and an EmplOye
We're Thrown Out and Severe
Iy Bruised by the Collision.
MACHINE DID NOT STOP
Effort Made to Identity the Au-
tOmObiIe Party Failed -Tele-
phOned to Police in This City.

While Rudolph f. Hansen, bak-
er, of "a Market street, and Chris

driving along the Metuchen road
towards this city Saturday afternoon,
a short distance this side of Fords,
their carriage was hit by a large,
black automobile. Both men were
thrown out and badly hurt, and the
wagon was partly demolished. The
horse was liberated from the shafts
by the crash, and ran for some dis
tance, being caught by Bert Buch-
anan and a companion.
The man at the lever of the auto
never stopped to tender Mr.. Hansen
an offer of aid Mr.. Hansen yelled
to him, but the merry party i'll the
machine only went the faster. An
effort to discern the number on the
auto was unsuccessful. 1t was black
in color, and two women sat in the
rear seat and two men in front.
Mr.. Hansen was passing wagon
which was going in a westerly direc-
ton. The autoist, coming along be-
hind Mr.. Hansen, tried to pass be-
tween the two vehicles. When it was
too late he found that the space was
not wide enough to admit of his go
ing between, and he crashed into the
Hansen vehicle, taking Il wheel off
and damaging it otherwise.
Jensen was the more seriously
hurt, being cut and brushed about
the hips and thigh. Hansen's hand
was severely cut and he sustained
contusions.
Mr. Liddle, who lives nearby, tele
phoned to the local police, but the
auto was not seen.

INTERNAL MACHINES
NOT so DANGEROUS.
Police Authorities Examine the One
Sent to the Guggenheims-
Slight Explosion.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21:-Superin-
tendent Murray of the Bureau OF Ccw-
bustiblcs OF the Police Department
yesterday examined the internal ma
chine which was received by M. Gug-
genheims Sons. last Thursday, and
announced that the liquid contained
in the test tube was gasolene. He
said that if the matches in the box
had been ignited by the removal OF
the sliding cover and the emery pa
per, the cotton and powder might
have caused sufficient heat to raise
the liquid up to about 80 degrees. At
this temperature the liquid passes
into the gaseous state. An explosion
could have followed. He doubted
the probability of exploding the two
.32 calibre pistol cartridges, which
were turned with their bullet ends
toward the powder,
Detective Arthur Casey, who has
meen detailed to follow up the case,
said that the explosion, from the
amount of gasolene contained in the
test tube, would have been slight.
He said that undoubtedly both the
Schiff Internal machine and the Gug-
genheim bomb were made by the
same person. He had no clew to
the inventors identity as yet. He
believes him a crank.
The bombs are crudely construct
cd, and contain such words as La
Rosa" Smoke" and "King Edward
VII" in print, evidently cut from
cigar wrapping1.

Prosecutor Has the largest Num-

Held the | Office.
EPIDEMIC OF CRIME.
County Has Its Hands Full
Handling the Affairs Man
slaughter and Murder.
Special to the Evening News.

/
NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 21:-
An epidemic of crime is sweeping ov-
er Middlesex county with the result
that Prosecutor Berdine has more
cases of unusual interest to present
! to the grand jury when it meets on
September than he had at any time
since he has been prosecutor. There
is quite variety in the cases to be
investigated which include cruelty to
little girl, the killing of a woman
in an automobile crash, the shoot
ing to death of a man at South AM
boy, the stabbfng of man at Bon
hamtown, the attempted elopement
of girl at Metuchen and the seduc-
tion of another Metuchen young wo-
man by a Plainfield married man.
The first case of Importance was
that of Mrs. Laura Wilmington Mou-
teith, of Kingston, the propiietress
of a fashioable boarding house
there and woman whose acquaint-
ances includes the Clevelands and
other noted society people at Prince
ton, who was arrested and brought
before Justice Sedan on the charge
of cruelty beating her adopted daugh-
ter, Pearl, seven years old. The New
York Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children was instrumental
in having her arrested, it being al
legged that the woman beat the girl
like carpet.
Just about the time this case came
before the public an automobile ac-
cident happened at Dunellen in which
machine driven by William r.
Stanbery and in which Mrs. WestphaI
was riding crashed into wagon driv-
en- by Oscar Harrison, and Mrs. West
phal was fatally hurt. Both of these !
men have been arrested on charges
of manslaughter and bailed fora
investigation by the grand jury, in
$1,000 each.
South Amboy was the scene of
the next criminal act where brawI
in saloon on Friday night re-
suited in the shooting of Michael
Mitchell, also known as Michael
Stefal, and the arrest and commit
ment to Jail of the proprietor, Lud-
wig Goveyca charged with murder.
Goveyca claims the shooting was ac-
cidental and Stefal signed state
ment exonerating him.
The epidemic then worked its way
toward this city and broke loose at
Bonhamtown where Alexander How
arth, of this city, was stabbed by
Stephen Klug in a fight near the
hotel of Michael Fedak. Klug was
arrested and brought to Jail here
and Howarth taken to the hospital
where he is recovering.
Metuchen was the next town to
attract attention when William
Braun last Thursday night tried to
elope with Miss Loise Gessler, a girl
fifteen years of age. She packed her
things, dropped her telescope out of
an attic window and jumped &pwn
to the ground from the cornice of bhe
house some twenty feet distant FROM
the ground. Her spine was injuredN
and her lover jailed on the charge
of assault.
This same borough figured Satur-
day in another attempted elopement
in which Lambert Edmonds, mar
ried man with four children living
at Plainfield planned to go away
with Miss Anna Hubbell. He is also
in Jail here.
