Burglar Shot at Moorestown

Officer Frank Painter brought John H
Wells to Jail yesterday afternoon. Both
his legs below the knees were peppered
with shot, which he received at the home
of William H. Slaughter, of Moorestown,
which he had planned to rob. Prison ply
stefan Elmer D. Prickitt spent some time
in removing the leaden pellets from the
mans limbs, the left leg being the most
badly injured, but the wounds are not
serious.
Wells is southern negro, living at
Stanton, Va. He had only arrived at
Moorestown yesterday, and the first thing
Slaughter was away, Wells removed
cellar window, and gained access to the
kitchen by forcing the door. Then he
searched the house, and secured some
valuables for removal, but before he
could leave with his booty Slaughter came
home. The latter saw that some one had
been in the house during his absence.
and while making a search of the rooms
he met Wells in the kitchen, who drew.
razor and threatened to kill him. Slaugh-
ter retreated to the dining room, got his
gun, into which he put two shells, and
then started after the intruder, who had
left his booty and run down cellar. AS
Slaughter was close after him, Wells
could not get out of the window, so he
hid behind wood pile. Slaughter pushed
a long pole through the wood, and strik-
ing something soft, he put the gun to the
opening and pulled the trigger. The
burglar begged for mercy and surrendered
Wells was not crippled so that he could
not walk, and he was taken before Justice
Petit, who committed the prisoner in de-
fault of 5000 bail At the hearing Wells
admitted his guilt, but when he arrived
at the Jail he denied committing the
crime. He will be photographed today
and his record inquired into.
Slaughter is the man who got paper
of tobacco for George Small. after the
latter and Rufus johnson had murdered
Miss Florence w. Atkinson.

Mortgage Burned.

Thursday evening was a season of re.
joicing among the members of the Penn
berton M. E. church, when exercises were
held over the burning of mortgage of
$500 on the parsonage An interesting
programme had been prepared, opening
with singing Praise God from whom all
blessings flow" This was followed by
the reading of the Saith psalm, and the
singing of hymn. Prayer was offered
by Rev. E. G. Conover, pestor of the
Pemberton Baptist church.
Then came an anthem, after which
William Fl. Heisler read very complete
and interesting history of the church.
Addresses by Rev. j. F. Heilenman and
R. Harry Robbins were the next numbers,
followed by a solo by Miss Annie Antrim.
Short addresses were then delivered by
former pastors of the church, and after a
hymn had been sung the mortgage was
brought forward, match was applied
and when the paper had been reduced to
ashes the last item Of debt on the entire
church property had been wiped out Of
existence.
Prayer and benediction were offered by
Rev. Milton Relyea, pastor of the church
End the members mingled together and
congratulated each other upon the happy
termination of the exercises which had
drawn them together.
The members are quite oiated to think
they have been able to lift this mortgage,
which not only clears the parsonage, but
leaves the entire church without any debt.
The people rallied nobly and aided in
raising the needed sum. The pastor and
members of the Baptist church showed
great interest in the matter
Rev. Milton Relyea, pastor of the
church, feels highly gratified at the
situation He has decided not to return
to the charge at Pemberton, and will go
upon the retired list To be able to de-
liver to his successor charge entirely free
from debt, with congregation who work
hand and hand with the minister, and with
citizens who are always willing to aid in
good cause, he feels better content to
relinquish his charge than he would if
other conditions existed.

Court.


Judge Horner disposed of several mat
tiers at session of court held on Thurs
day.
John Hendrickson and Myrtle Hen
erickson, alias Louisa Seeds, were the
first to appear in the criminal line. They
pleaded guilty to stealing some money
and clothing from Mrs. Pittman, of Bor-
dentown. Taking an interest in the de-
PENDANTS Harold B. Wells appeared in
their behalf without pay, and his request
that sentence be suspended was granted.
The couple were then placed on probation
for three years and ordered to pay all
costs of prosecution. In addition to this
Hendrickson must pay Mrs. Pittman $50
and the Seeds woman is to give her $40.
If there should be any failure in these
stipulations the parties will be arrested
and committed to Jail.
A boy by the name of Charles Marles,
who is not yet ten years of age, next ap-
peared before the court after being con.
fined in jail six weeks for stealing saw
and axe. The boy is an orphan. and has
been living with his step father, who is
blind. The boy also burned some furniture
in house at Cow Bridge, near Medford.
Interest in the lad brought remark
from the court that the Jail was no place
for Marles, and Judge Horper said he
proposed to give him fair chance in life.
At this point Edward Bean, motorman
on the trolley road, who lives on Madison
avenue, informed the court that he would
take the boy and give him good home.
This action|on the part of Bean was 8

The boy stated that he stole at the bidding
of his step-father, who will be committed
to the county house.
