MORRIS TESTIFiES
AGAINST F. PERDONl

,lo FREEHOLD, July ~25.-AJointly in
dicted with Frank Perdoni, a fruit
vendor, for the murder of Mrs. Mary
Natal, in Asbury Park, on December
10 last, Howard r. Morris was the
principal witness in the trial of Per-
doni. Yesterday. Edmund Wilson,
counsel for Morris, succeeded in OBJ
tanning a severance of the indictment,
and Perdoni was placed on trial alone
for the murder.
When the case was called yester-
day, Assistant Prosecutor Edward d.
Dufield called Morris to the stand.
Morris testified that some time before
the murder he was requested by Per-
doni to aid him in carrying out a
plan to rob the, Natal house. At first
he refused to have anything to do
with it, but finally consented to get
a nan he knew in New York to come
down and aid Perdoni. He said,
however, that he did not get the New
York man. He testified hal he met
Perdoni the morning after the muir
der in the station at Asbnry Park and
asked him where. he was going. Per
doni, the witness said, replied that he
was on his way to New York to play
the races" The witness said he had
not heard of the Natal murder at
that time. Later in the day, Morris
said, he learned of the crime. The
next day he saw Perdoni and told him
that cit was all right to take the
stuff. but a - of a trick to kill her."
Perdoni, the witness asserted, then
made the remark: How funny that
when we were talking about this wo-
man only a couple of days ago, that
somebody should get in ahead of u.s."
After recess several witnesses were
examined to in part bear out Morris
story. Patrick Egan, who lived with
Perdoni. testified, that about 12:3O
ON The night of the murder he heard
Perdoni and somebody else talking in
the hall. He asked who 1t was the
following morning and Perdoni told
him a man from Red Bank, who had
been locked out.
The defense did not put in any ev-
idence and considered the case for
the state so weak that it will content
itself with argument. The case vii
probably go TO the jury by noon to-
morrow. An acduittal is looked for.

RUSSELL SACE'S WILL
Reports Say That M%iIIionaire's Es-
tate May be Disputed.

LAWRENCE, n. r. July 25.-Over
the body of the late Russell Sage, lying
in a casket Theoretically sealed. funeral
services were held here. The first of
these services were solemE!zed in a
room of the Sage summer home ut $50

taken to the Presbyterian church at
Far Rockaway, where another service
was held.
AT ) o'clock the body was brought to
the Sage house in New York. Burial
will take place at lakewood cemetery
in Troy.
Preparations for contesting the will
of Mr.. Sage in the event of its pro-
visions not being satisfactory to them
have already been made by relatives of
the financier.
By the special instructions of Mrs.
Sage all persons who have even an
inkling of the contents of the will arc
maintaining silence until after the
funeral in Troy. She so thoroughly
dominates the situation as to give color
to the view that she will be practically
in control of the estate of $1G0,O00 900.
Whatever gifts have been made TO char
table purposes. it is be.ievel, were
made upon her recommendation and
advice.
Extraordinary precautions nave been
taken that the body Of Russell Sage
shall not be disturbed in its last rest
ing place. 1t will be committed this
afternoon to a steel walled grave in
lakewood cemetery in Troy, N. Y.
The cost of the steel chest inclosing
the coffin alone will be $4,000, and the
coffin itself, which is of heavy metal
inclosed in selected mahogany, repre-
sents an expenditure of another $1,000.
The co%ntrivance is equipped with cleo
trical alarm signals, and q guard will
be kept at the cemetery for some days,
The grave will be beside that of Mr..
Sage's first wife. The epitaph which
Is to be engraved on the monument is:
Il Have Done tile Best That | Could
by the Light of the Day
Mrs. Sage after the interment will
remain in Troy. her girlhood home, for
a time. but will live in New York.

TO VOTERS
Democrats of the State Issue a
Statement for the Fall
Campaign.

NEWARK, JulM 25.EIn AN Iad-
dress to the votes of New jersey,
which has just been issued in accord
ance with a promise made several
months ago, the democratic state
committee launches its metaphorical
heels at republicans and republican
ism. No individuals name is signed
to the manifesto, but a reasonable de-
gree of suspicion points to the CLASH
cal genius of the ,committee's chair
man, William B. Gourley, of Pater-
son. If the style is not his it is at
least a clever imitation. n
The writer blames the republican
party for pretty much everything that
has taken place in New Jersey in the
last thirteen years. Whatever the
party has done that has been of bene-
fit to the state and its citizens has
been done out of selfish interest,
walls the anonymous authors OF au-
thors of the proclamation; all else
has been done by, with and for the
corporations.
Three-fourths of the manifesto is
taken up with generalities.
The platform, as outlined by the
manifesto, would blanket the plat
form of the new idea republicans.
Municipal ownership, popular ex-
preston regarding the choice of Unit
ed States senator's, taxation of all
public franchises at their rue value,
an Investigation of insurance COM
panies, a corrupt practices act, and
antitrust legislation are included.
Take, for instance, corporation
control of legislation, n of the evils
against which the Colby men in the
legislature fought with especial vigor,
an evil which they have taken as a
chief point of attack in their cam
paigns. Here is what the manifesto
has to say:
"a gigantic evil at which the dem
ocracy has~always warred has been
the unlawful contributions by cor
porations t o political parties for leg
islative protection in their predatory
control of the business of the day.
ut is well known that the sums of
money contributed to the republican
campaign funds in this state have
been gigantic in proportion. No such
gifts are made without a common IN
derstanding that such companies shall
receive adequate protection in their
plumber of the people. Corrupt leg
islation is the consequence Of this
partnership in crime.
"These corporations maintain their
chosen representatives on the floor of
both chambers of the Legislature, and
they are able to defeat measures in
tended to release their grip upon the.
state. They defeated the lobby bill
minded to exclude these freebooters
from the precincts of the Legislative
chambers"

Great Northern Fast Mail PlunSeS
Seventy Feet Seven Lives
Lost.

SPOKANE. Wash, July 25.-At least
seven lives were lost. seven persons
were seriously injured and Il score of
others sustained cuts and bruises in u
wreck of the fast mail train on the
Great Northern n mile and a quarter
east of Camden, WASH, near here,
when the locomotive, mail, baggage
and smoking cars left the rails on
emerging from II tunnel and, ~plunging
over a seventy foot embankInent, were
submerged in the waters of Diamond
lake.
Spreading rails, probably caused by
sun kinks is given as the cause.
Immediately after the smoker struck
the water there was a binding fash
which spread over the part of the cal
not submerged, and a fire followed.
The impact was SO terrific that sew
eral cars on the rear of the train were
wrenched and twisted. and the fact
that the couplings did not break on
the dining, tourist and sleeping cars
was the only thing that averted even
greater loss of life.
Engineer Munson and Fireman Bel
evidently stuck to their posts. 1t is be-
lieved they are in the locomotive, which
is in from one to five hundred feet OF
