the hearing adjourned. If the State
street people think they ought to
have the street s~prinkled by the troll
ley company in exchange for the
franchise desired, why did they not
go before the aldermen at the hear
ing called for the purpose and say
so? Not remain silent, except to
their immediate neighbors, and, after
the franchise is granted, find fault
with the city fathers. The State
street people have none but them
selves to blame.

TREES IN HI PARK.

Credit is due the Board of Alder
men for their action in ordering
young trees set out in City Hall Park
and in front Of the city hall. Perth
Amboy is decidedly poor when it
comes 10 parks and every possible
care should be taken OF the little n
we have. 1t is a pretty spot and a
decided credit to the city. Last year
several trees had to be taken out and
others are growing old and must soon
follow. Unless young ones are set
out TO take their places the park
would soon be bare. The aldermen
have ~foreseen this and have filled up
the empty spots as well as made a
pretty border. The investment is a
good one.

The press bureau of the MiddleseX
boss seems to take great satisfaction
ont of the Trenton Times silly charge
that former Assemblyman Fordyce
is a carpetbagger in MiddleseX. Such
a statement carries no weight what
ever where the facts are so we'll
known, and the wonder is thar any
of the county papers could be found
willing TO repeat the charge. 1t will
require a better grade of ammunition
than this TO succeed in overcoming
the widespread disgust with bossism
which is rampant all over the county.

COL. MANN INDICTED.
Grand Jury Acts at Request of
District attorney Jerome.

An Indictment for perjury was found against
Colonel William D. Mann. editor and proprietor of
Town Topics yesterday morning. and IN the af-
ternoon Colonel Mann appeared before Judge O'sul-
nvan. in General Sessions. and gave bail in 81 900.
the pleading TO the indictment being deferred to
March 90
Colonel Mann arrested on the charge Of
perjury several weeks ago. and examination before
Justice McAvoy dragged along until a postpone
ment was granted. The charge grew out Of Colo
mel Manns denial in the Hapgood trial that he
wrote the Endorsement 20. XIV. D. NJ" on A
letter of Reginald Ward to NJ F. Wooster. asking
10 be placed on the regular mailing list Of Town
Topics"
Before Judge O'Sullivau yesterday Charles l.
Craig. of Colonel Mann's counsel argued that the
Indictment ought not 70 be accepted because the
perjury charge was under investigation by Justice
McAvoy, Of the Court of Special Sessions. sitting
a magistrate.
There had been a full hearing before Justice Nc
Avoy, Mr.. Craig said. except that the defence had
not had opportunity TO present testimony and
Justice McAvoy had adjourned the case until p. m
to-day to give District Attorney Jerome an APP
portunity TO reply to a motion 10 dismiss the
charge Instead Of making a reply before Justice
McAvoy Mr.. Craig said, Mr.. Jerome had taken the
case before the grand jury. thus forestaling pos
sihle dismissal of the complaint. Such a course
the lawyer argued. an invasion of Colonel
Mann's rights
Mr. Jerome replied that it had been the custom
OF the grand jury 10 take up complaints pending
before magistrates. He cited similar action the
Patrick and Moneux cases and said that the grand
jury as an inquistorial body had the right TO in
vestigate any case.
Mr. Craig tried to interpose another argument,
but Judge O'Sulivan said:
= can nothing IN your contention, Mr. Craig
and deny the application"
After bail had been furnished Mr. Craig left the
Criminal Courts Building, in company with Colonel
Mann saying he would apply to the Supreme Court
for writ Of habeas corpus ascertain II Colonel
Manns rights had not been invaded.
The case Of Justice Deuel. Of the Court OF Spe
Topics, may come before the Bar Association at
Its monthly meeting tonight. influential members
OF the association said last night however that
no formal charges against Justice Deuel. had been
lodged with the grievance committee Of the
citation. and that the only way in which motion
to have Justice Deuel. expelled from membership
could come before the association on q report
Of the committee- II was possible, they said that
there would be a motion by member to e.
quest Justice Deuel. to resign his membership on
account OF the revelations in the Hapgood trial.
