GIRL, GAGGED,
BEATS OF F
ASSAILANT

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 12-Acting De-
tective Sergeants Johnson and Caprio,
of Jersey City, are today searching the
Marion section OF Jersey City in the
hope of finding the youth who last
night attempted to assault Kathryn
Golden, of 10 Dales avenue, as she was
walking along a secluded section Of
Broadway. Her would>be assailant tied
her hands with twine. She resisted and
felled him to the ground with kick.
Then the fellow gained his feet and
escaped in the direction OF the Little
italy" section of Marion.
Miss Golden is suffering from shock. Her
statement concerning the occurrence Is
partly corrobOrated by Isaac Norman. Of
31y Van Winkle avenue, to whose home
the Golden girl ran after the man left her.
Norman told Chief OF Police Frank
Monahan that Miss Golden was badly
frightened when she rushed into his home
soon after o'clock. and informed him
that she had been gagged and bound by
the hands by a man who ran out in front
OF her from behind a telegraph pole Bg
using her feet she felled him. and when
he ran away she hurried to his house for
safety.
Norman told the police that he cut the
twine that bound the girls hands, and
while they were at first inclined to think
the girls story was rather replete with
fiction the police decided to make an in
vestigation.

WALSH TRIAL
BEGUN AT
LAST
ChicagO's Former Financial
and Railroad Magnate ID
dicted on loo Counts.

CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-THE trial of
John r. Walsh, former president of the
defunct Chicago National Bank, on the
charge of misapplication Of its funds,
began today in the United States Dis
trfct Court before Judge A. b. Ander-
son.
The indictment against Mr.. Walsh
contains 100 counts. The offense
charged is punishable by from five to
ten years in prison. 1t is believed the
trial will last about a month.
The chief issue in the case is whether
or not Mr.. Walsh used the banks
funds to aid his own enterprises. It is
also charged that Mr.. Walsh borrowed
from his own bank more than the legal
amount of 10 per cent. of the capital
stock. This latter question, however,
will not be touched upon at this trial.
The government alleges that Mr..
Walsh substituted for the money it
Is charged he took from the bank Sc
curities of doubtful character. The
defense Will claim that these securl-
ties were good and that nobody ever
lost a dollar because of them.
The greater part of today was con-
sumed in the selection of the jury.

POLICE FEAR
SLAYER WILL
GET AWAY

The police are still unable to get any
trace of Joseph Telesco, who shot and
killed his brother-in-law. Nicholas Ar
calotta, at 139 Canal street, last Sunday
night, and who escaped after the COM
mission of the murder. Circulars were
today sent out by Captain Carroll. OF
the detective bureau, to different cities
throughout the country.
In their investigation of the case the
police learned that the murderer had
for some time past been complaining
of pains in his head. In the barber
shop, in the Lawyers building, where
he was employed as a bootblack, the
police learned that he had been acting
strangely of late. The police believe
that having a hatred for his brother
in-law and having drunk too much
wine at the christening, he lost control
of his feelings and shot Arcalotta with
out even warning him.
Arcalotta was not so wen known in
the city as was his slayer. As Telesco
has a knowledge Of railroad business
the police are apprehensive that 1t viii
be an easy matter for him to escape.
However, the police think that he is
stili hiding In this city.

The breaks netted the operators but
little, except in the fiat of Charles
Runyan. at the Gillette apartment
house. at "a Gillette place, where silver
ware, clothing and other articles val
ued at about $500 were stolen.
This theft was evidently the work of
a professional burglar, as the front
door of the house was forced open with
a Jimmy, and then the door leading to
the Runyan apartments was forced in
the same manner. Once inside the
sneak thief evidently took his time
about selecting articles of value. ran

afternoon, and who demanded a hear
ing through counsel when arralgned
yesterday on a charge of violating the
excise law, was held in $500 bail by
Judge Herr, in the Fourth Precinct

saloonkeeper's wife and children, and
that there were three glasses of beer

Are you a judge of beer?"
''Yes, sir. tasted it, and knew it
wasn't stale, and what's more there

The raiders also testified that they
saw the proprietor in the saloon draw

Julius Feldman, counsel for the de-

The court thought that the beer in

act of the latter in drawing beer in the
saloon, was sufficient evidence, and so

Result Of Decision in Fight
Between Newark and
Railroads.
SECOND CLASS PROPERTY
Taxed as Main Stem, Assess
ments Have Already Been Paid
to the State and Roads Will
Have to Secure Refund
From That Source.

Tax ratables to the amount of $270. 1866
have been added to the city tax list
through the opinion yesterday of JUS
tice Pitney in the Supreme Court. in
which he sustains the city in taxing
as second-class railroad property sew
eral strips of land owned by the Penn
sylvania Railroad running through the
centre of the city, but not forming a
part of the roadbed. This opinion was
handed down in face of the contention
of the railroads that they had the right
of the full 100 feet to be taxed as main
stem property by the State Board of
Assessors, but the opinion Of the JUS
tice was that main stem not exceeding
100 feet in width does not apply If the
100 feet is not roadbed.
The other Newark case, both of
which We're told Of yesterday in the
EVENING STAR, was the application
of the New York Bay Railroad Com
pany for a summary determination as
to whether certain property in the city
was main stem or second-class prop
erty, and the court sustained the city
in all but one instance, where decision
was reserved.
The decision will affect the following
properties in Newark belonging to rail-
roads, which are on the books of the
city tax department at the following
valuations: Eighth taxing district, Erie
Railroad, 5000 on the five strips of
street and to city line; New York Bay
Railroad, $65,000 on the five strips OF
land lying along the west Newark
branch and about two miles In length

BULLET FIRED
INTO PARLOR
PERILS TWO
Women Chatting When
Leaden Missile Crashes
Through Window.

Mrs. George Palmer, OF 2S2 Washing
ton avenue, had close call from being
shot by some unknown person while
sitting in her parlor yesterday as she
was talking to Mrs. John H. Sander
son, of 63S Summer avenue.
Both women were sitting at the front
window. Suddenly a crash of glass,
followed by bullet striking a picture
on the wall just above the piano,
caused both women to scream. Mrs.
Palmer at first thought that her guest
was injured. but it was found that she
had only been struck in the face by a
piece of glass.
After striking the picture the bullet
glanced back and fell beside Mrs.
Palmer. 1t Is supposed that the bullet
was fired by boy playing in the
neieNborhood.
Immediately after the bullet entered
the parlor Mrs. Palmer searched all
around the neighborhood. Just oppo-
site the house there is an open lot and
clump of bushes and trees and O
high sign board between these and the
house. A number of workmen were at
work on a building on Hillside avenue,
only short distance from the house,
but none of them heard any shooting
or saw any one with a rifle in the
neighborhood.
The picture struck by the bullet was
small one and was valued by the
family as an old relic of the family. 1t
was not badly damaged.
Had the bullet entered the window a
little lower it would have struck Mrs.
Palmer in the head, as she was directly
in line with it.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice of the Second Precinct station late
in the afternoon and they are investi-
eating the matter.

COURAGEF
WHEN WIVES
FACE HIM
Walker Pleads Non Yult to
Indictment for Bigamy
in Wedding Three.

Courage to defend himself against
three women whom he had married
failed Charles V. Walker today in the
Court of Quarter Sessions, when his
trial was to be held on an Indictment
for bigamy. Instead he entered plea
of non vult before Judge Ten Eycle.
Walker had given bail for trial in the
amount of $500 and this was continued
until sentence day, November 25, when
Walker will be called upon to answer
for his plural paramour propensities.
Three wives are interested in the
doings of Walker, and when they found
that there would be no trial today. as
they had expected, they went their
ways.
Estella M. Bailey, of Port Murray,
n. Y, who married Walker May IL,
1900, and was divorced from him De-
cember 26, 1906; Miss Katherine Sofield,
of "a Springfield avenue, who married
him February TO- 1906, and Miss Selma
Eiler, of 80 Littleton avenue, who mar
ried him January 13 last, are the
women interested in the man. The two
first-named secured the indictment
against Walker, while Miss Eiler is
said to be after him because of their
wedding in Paterson.
Other tangles brought about by Walker s
marrying proclivihes are that he Is alleged
to have deserted the first wife, while his
cecond wife, learning that she was not
legally married to him, sought matrimonial
comfort by marrying one John Rhodes on
July 1S last.
Mrs Gertrude Book, of 1873 Walnut street,
was the woman who was finally the In
strument that brought Walker before the
bar of justice She is a sister of wife
No. 8, and followed his movements so
closely that he was unable to escape after
she had once secured the necessary eyi-
dence against him.

$1,000 worth of diamonds from the
house Of Mrs. Albert o. HeadIey, Of So

from Robert Wilmerding, agent of the
