The finding of a dress suit case
containing watches, silverware and
other articles of value, together with
a bottle of knockout drops" known
to be the property of Emil Dunhart,
a prisoner at the county Jail at Mt.
Holly, serve as additional evidence
to keep him safe for a long time.
Dunhart vas recently arrested in
Philadelphia after he had robbed
Mrs. Resented and Ida Witcraft, of
Riverside, of two watches and a guam
tity of money. He was also accused
of plotting the hold-up of R.. Ear
brugg, the rich manufacturer of that
place. In committing crimes while
he was employed at Riverside the
young man did not even spare his
sweetheart, Miss Witcraft. When
his character was revealed to her
and she became convinced that rob-
berry was the purpose of Dunhart's
courtship she assisted the officers in
causing the arrest.

The claim of Mrs. Virginia Helm

the estate of Jacob S. Rogers, founder
of the Rogers Locomotive Works, in
Paterson, was dismissed by Vice
Chancellor Emery in Newark. Mr..
Rogers left more than $5,000,0O0, the
bulk of which he bequeathed to the
Metropolitan Museum. The will was
contested by Mrs. Heinisch, his half
sister, and other relatives. To settle
their claims, $250,000 was distributed
among them. Mrs. Heinisch received
her share of this, but also laid claim
to an additional 100000. She al
legged that Jacob Rogers had promised
his father, Thomas Rogers, to leave
her 100000 more than her share as
an heir-at-law Of his estate.
