How the Family Row Was Ended

We learn of an incident that oc-
Cured in the negro settlement south
east of this place, across the river
not long ago. A negro was beating
his wife in front Of the cabin, which
was on the public road. The woman
was down on the ground and the man
was sitting upon and choking her by
clutching her throat with one nan l.
when a white man came along the
road in a buggy. Seeing what was
going on be jumped out of his buggy
and ran I'D behind the negro and with
a 4S struck him over the head such
blow that the pistol fired az the
same instant. and the negro rolled
over down the hill. his head skinned
and dazed. The woman jumped up
and ran round the house following,
Don't shoot him any more! Don t
shoot him any more. This ended IL,

At Racine, Wis, all the bakers
save one signed a contract with the
union which Of course gave only the
members of the union the privilege
to work in the bakeries. etc. The
baker who refused to- recognize the
union was boycOtted and a determined
effort made to injure his business. He
brought suit for $4,000 damages
against the Trades Labor Council and
certain individual members. In the
circuit court at Racine last week
Judge Chester A. Fowler rendered a
decision holding illegal the contract
between the bakers ana the union, D.!
which all non-uniOn men were eX-
cluded from bakeries and the Trades
Council and individual members were
enioined from using the unfair list
The bOycOtt is declared an actlOnable
conspiracy to accomplish criminal OF
unlawful purpose; Schultz, the com
planning baker, was allowed to re-
cover s.. 500 for the loss Of profits from
the time of the commencement OF the
bovcotting acts up to the time OF the

NO TRIAL FOR MRS. T0LLA
Special to nThe Jersey city News.nl

special to "The Jersey City News.")
TRENTON, Mar. Z, 19o6.-The right
of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, Of
Bergen County, to grant a rule to show
cause why a new trial should not be
granted in the case of the State against
Antoinette Tolla, convicted of murder in
the first degree, was refused yesterday
in an oral announcement made at the
opening of the March term of the Court
of Errors and Appeals. The opinion in
this case will be written by Justice Dix
on and will be filed within a few days.
The announcement of the rule was made
by Chief Justice Gummere.
The question of whether the trial
Judge in the Tolla case had the right
to issue an order to show cause for a
new trial was brought before the Court
of Errors last week by Samuel Kalisch
and Mrs. Mary Quackenbos. This ac-
evidence had been found after the trial,
conviction and sentencing of the prisoner.
In the application to the Court of Err
rors the trial justice stated that he con-
sidered the evidence prime facie, but
questioned his jurisdiction to grant new
trial.
The announcement of the Court of Err
rors hold that the rule is denied and the
court below is without jurisdiction on the
ground that it cannot grant new trial
after the expiration Of the term of court
at which the conviction of Mrs. Tolla
was announced.
The reprieve of Mrs. Tolla now pend
ing will expire Monday and before that
time Mrs. Kalisch and Mrs. Quackenbos
will place the case of Mrs. Tolla before
the Court of Pardons.
The March term of the Court of Err
rors and Appeals was opened this morn
ing and at the opening hour the gather
ing of lawyers was an exceptionally large
one. The only announcement made by
the court other than the decision in the
Tolla case was by Chancellor Magic and
relates to the work of the court. Chan
cellor Magic announced that cases would
be called until fifty responses of ready
were heard and that after that the list
would be suspended. Arguments in the
fifty ready cases will consume as much
of the coming three weeks as is necessary
to hear them. A

DOUBLE HANGING

Special to sThe Jersey City News.'D
MOUNT HOLLY, Mar. Z. 19O6.--An
efforts to save George Small from the
fate of his companion in crime proved
futile yesterday, and after his conviction
Of murder in the first degree he was
sentenced by Judge Hendrickson to die
with Rufus johnson ON Saturday,
March "a. for the murder of Florence
Allinson. of NTloorestown.
Small persisted to the last in denying
that he had anything to do with the
crime and that his alleged confession was
not true. The chain of evidence was too
strong. however.
Important testimony produced by the
State included the Identification Of the
overalls that Small admitted he wore
on the day of the murder and garments
found near Smalls house after they had
been hidden under a bridge. a cake of
soap that was stolen from the Allison
barn and hidden with the clothes was
also identified.
The defense. put Johnson on the stand
10 testify for the purpose Of having him
say that he alone killed Miss -Allinson
and Small was not with him. The court
ruled that this would not be proper and
Johnson~was not asked more than one
question.
At O'clock all the testimony had been
presented and shortly before 6 o'clock
last night the jury reported a verdict of
murder in the first degree.
Small was not affected. When asked
if he had anything to say the prisoner
said: Il am not guilty of this muir

him that it became its painful duty to
pronounce Judgment the defendant spoke
up again and said: 4 never had any

Jealous of their morality. He asked for

Father Kelly, Hoboken. in summing
up, said he was panied to hear Senator
Hudspeth claim politics and utter
threats. He declared that politics have
been eliminated from the question, and
did not enter into it. and never had at
any stage of the discussion. either in
statement given the press or utterances
from the pulpits.
He declared that at meeting of the
Hudson County clergy Monday it was
determined that if any man was attack
ed for his vote on the pending bill we
would go to his assistance.
Tie Catholic clergy wanted the issue
treated as a moral one, but if politics
We're finally brought in we will fight to

Senator Hudspeth declared he had no
intention of bringing in politics.
Father Kelly said it was unjust of
Senator Hudspeth to charge and insinu-
ate that the Catholic clergy thought
saloonkeepers all wrong and bad. The
best evidence that this was all wrong
was Witnessed last Sunday when Catho-
lic and Protestant clergy said that the
selling of liquor violates no law Of God
or man, or of morals, and the drinking
of liquor was no crime. The abuses IS
what the father said they were after
What we are asking is to bring some

loonkeeper. We are not and these bills

DR.. MacCauley, Trenton. in cnoclud-
ing the argument, said chat Catholics and
PrNtestants could stand on the same plat
form. They only asked that safeguards
be thrown around the young. that the sa-
loon be lifted to a higher level. to the
bettering of public morals.
