FIRE BOARD LIKELY TO
GRANT REQUEST.
Leave of Absence Cut from December 81
to December demands Par
ticulars of the Herzog Case.

It was decided by the Fire Board yester-
day afternoon, as told in the night edition
of the EVENING STAR, to curtail Chief
81 to December 1, and regarding his resig-
nation, it is said that the commissioners
will permit him to retire January l.
The cutting off of thirty days of Chief
Kiersted's absence was explained by Com
missioner Burke. who said that the mem
bers of the board were under the impress
sion at last Mondays meeting that the
chiefs request for a leave of absence was
only until December J. instead Of Decem-
Der 81. On his motion, the change OF the
date was made MS, he said, after consult
ing with the chief. The lntter did not of1er
any objection to the change.
Commissioner Burke also moved that the
chiefs request for retirement on January 1
be laid over for further consideration. He
said: I'VE do not care to lose the chief,
unless we have to- The other members
of the board agreed with him.
As soon as that matter was settled Com
missioner Gnichtel wanted to know II a
report had been received as to the injuries
that Fireman Herzog, Of Engine Company
No. G, sustained on election night when
he tried to put out a bonfire at Spring
field avenue and Livingston street. When
informed by Secretary Sullivan that no
report had been received Commissions
Gnichtel asked Chief Kiersted, who re-
piled that all he knew of the matter was
what he had read.
Commissioner Gnichtel said 1t must have
been a serious matter because Judge Herr
had held Herzog's assailants in heavy bail
for the Grand Jury. Battalion Chief Nc
Dermltt will be called upon to furnish q
full report of the case.

ToMAssI APPEAL FUTILE.
Chancellor Magic Denies Writ of Error
in Murder case-To Go Higher.

TRENTON, Nov. 14-Application was
made TO Chancellor Magic at the State
House yesterday for a writ Of error In the
case of Michael Tomassi. under sentence
of death for the murder of Mrs. Della
Congilio at Lambertville on May 20 last.
Rudolph A. Braun and James M. Trimble,
of Newark, appeared for the prisoner and
Prosecutor George X. Large for the State.
One Of the principal objections raised
was that Justice Reed permitted Edgar w.
Hunt, a lawyer of Lambertville, who was
private counsel for Mrs. Cargilio's relh-
tives, to assist the prosecutor, examine
witnesses and address the jury. The
chancellor, In refusing to allow a new trial.
said that the employment Of private coun-
sci to assist the prosecutor in homicide
cases in this state was a very ancient me-.
He recalled a case in Essex County which
was tried Just after he came to the bar,
in which Asa Whitehead had been en-
ployed to assist the State In the prosecu-
ton. The proofs were not Clear, and the
accused was acquitted.
when | was prosecutor said the
chancellor, IT would not permit private
counsel to intervene unless l was satisfied
1t was dom for the purpose Of calculating
the facts, and not from motives of private
revenge" He held, however, that no OBJ

diced the defendant in making his defense
on the merits. and he thought there was
no objection to be taken on that ground,
and 1t would be nothing more than to say
that he did not get a fair trial because
the prosecutor was too smart for him.
The case will now be aiken to the Court
of Errors.
Chancellor Magic also denied the motion
for a writ of error for Pasquale Delisso,

counsel for the defendant. had based his
application for a new trial principally on
two points, one being the right of the
State to challenge a Juror at the trial after
the clerk of the court had begun to ad-
minister the oath. The defense also
claimed that Objectionable testimony had
been admitted.
Mr.. Strong will now carry the case to-
the Court of Errors and Appeals and
move for a stay Of execution.
