COACHMAN TALE-BEARER
IN ODD MARITAL TANGLE.
Owns He Carried Water on Both Sides
of the Stream"-Tells About Banker
and His Two Wives.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-At the trial
today in the Supreme Court in Brook
lyn Of the suit brought by Mrs. Flora
A. Colt against the Thomas w. Kiley
estate for the recognition of a will in
which the bigamous wife is named as
beneficiary in a large amount, Walter
Blackman, coachman for Mr.. Kiley
from 1902 to 1904, gave important testi-
mony in such an ingenious manner
that a rising litter often disturbed the
dignity of the court.
The coachman contradicted one of
the chief allegations on which the
plaintiff bases her case, blunt
~ declaring that Mrs. Colt, the second
wife, kTe- of Kiley's previous mar
riage to his brothers widow and had
often talked with him on the subject
upon those occasions when Kiley
placed coachman and carriage at Mrs.
Colts disposal. He said that he was
aware of the peculiar marital relations
which the wealthy hardware manufac-
turer and bank president had estab-
lished with two women. 1t was his
duty to drive for first one woman and
then the other, and in this way he be-
came familiar with their respective at
titudes and opinions. He acknowledged
that he carried tales from n to the
other.
"Yes, / carried water on both sides
of the stream" he said.
Mrs. Colt. he said, asked him
whether he thought that Mrs. Kiley
was really married to her brotller-in-
law, and when he said yes she de-
clared she would 'have him anyhow
When he repeated this to the real wife
the latter is said to have replied, ITS
a pity he can't marry her.
On cross-examination the ecoachmar
told his story less glibly, and on sew
eral occasions he became confused.
DR.. Charles M. Bellows, who, witt
other physicians, attended Mr.. Kiley
testified that Mr.. Kiley was addicted
to the use of morphine. AS early as
1905 he was using from n to two
grains a day. and in 1906 he had in
creased the dose from six to sever
grains, taking the opiate in hypoder-
mic injections. DR.. Bellows said he
believed Kiley's physical troubles made
him slightly irrational.

NEWARK NAN
a. INVENTE
PROPELLER
James Worcester Thinks It
Will RevOlutiOnize Method
of Handling Boats.

James Stephen Worcester. of 80 New
ton street, is the inventor of a pro-
peller that bids fair to revolutionize
boating. and will, when perfected in
minor details. stand alongside Of the
Holland torpedo boat as one of the
greatest inventions of this kind.
Inventor Worcester is in his fifty
sixth year. He is more than six feet
tall. He was born in Waltham, Mass,
but has lived here for the last thirteen
years. His wife is the organist of st.
Joseph's Church.
Mr.. Worcester has invented a con-
frivance which will do away with the
old-fashioned screws IN boats, steam
ships and sailing vessels of all descrip-
tions, as well as of side wheelers, and
even the old rudder will have to be
cast aside.
This new propeller has been tested
and has done everything that its in
ventor claims for it. 1t will guide a
boat forwards and backwards.
The new propeller, as described by
Mr.. Worcester is after the model of 4
fsh's tail. A vertical shaft running
down through the -overhanging of the
stern has two arms at the water edge
from which projects two forks, and
between these forks Is the propeller,
which is made of a steel plate. This
ways from one side to the other, thus
sending the boat forwards or back
wards at the will of the operator. The
working machinery attached to this
contrivance can be operated by gaso-
line, steam or electricity. 1t is ex-
pected to excel the old screw propeller
because the faster the boat run with
this new invention the lesser will be
the vibration.
John 3. Holland. the torpedo boat
inventor, has seen Mr.. Worcester's new
patent and ~pronounces it the wonder of
the age in its line. Lewis Nixon, the
BOAT builder, is another expert who
says that Mr.. Worcester's patent is
going to revolutionize boat building in
the future.
Mr.. Worcester has formed a con1-
pany In Boston where the propellers
are going to be made. The company
will be capitalized at 81 1000, 900 and
shares will be Issued at 81 each.
A public test will be made in Boston
in February, When the propeller will
be attached to a 200-foot boat. Several
Newark men have made known their
Intention to join the new company,
and one Boston man has already Of
fered s7S5, 900 in cash for the bulk of
the new company's stock, Mr.. Worces-
ter stated.
This is not the only invention OF Mr..
Worcester. He has fourteen others,
among them being a key ring, a non
fillable bottle, and what he calls a
"Non-Combusticator,'' or a continuance
for preventing gasoline receptacles
from exploding. He also has invented
Il harrow, a seed sower, lawn mower
and a moving machine, and these he
has in the patent offices in Washing
COR, awaiting the necessary indorse-
ment of the government.
Mr.. Worcester will leave for Bos-
ton next month. where he will superin-
tend the manufacture of his propellers.

KAISER MUST REFUND
SURPLUS FOR MEALS.
Cost Of Feeding Hudson Prisoners Linz
tied to 10 Cents Per Day
by Counsel

JERSEY CITY, Dec. 21.-In a comnalni-
cation to the Board of Freeholders,
County Counsel Griffin declared that the
cost Of a meal for a prisoner must not
exceed 10 cents per day.
The opinion was presented because the
court has set aside the demurrer of Sheriff
Kaiser in the suit to determine whether lie
is entitled to the 30 cents per day allowed
under the contract made with the board.
and the county counsel accepts this ruling
as a decision that the Sheriff is not n
titled TO fees in addition to his salary. Mr..
Griffin also holds that Kaiser must refund
all profits he has made from feeding pris-
oners.
