JOCKEY NEAR DEATH.
Thinking Him Intoxicated, Passersby
Placed Him in Wagon Shed.

TRENTON, Dec. 26.-In st. Francis's
Hospital a man is lying OIL a cot sup
posed to be L.. Matthews, a former
jockey, who is being kept alive by arti-
fetal respiration. He was found in a
ditch unconscious, neal White House,
yesterday. At first 1t was thought lie
was drunk, and some passersby put
him into a wagon and carried him into
a shed in the real of the P~earsonville
Methodist Church, where he remained
for three hours
Not giving any evidence of returning
consciousness, a doctor was called and
ordered the man removed to the hos
pital. AS he was being placed in the
vehicle a small paper containing a
white powder was found by his side.
Drs. Ward and Davis, of the hospital,
worked hard over the man, but little
hopes are entertained for his recovery.
1t is believed by the physicians that
the powder was opium, and that, from
the condition of the man, he was a
victim of the opiate.
1t is also thought from discovery that
the man is troubled with kidney dis
ease n that he ma have taken the
powder to allay his suffering and took
an overdose.

lMPosToRS OUT.

Taking advantage of the generous feel
ing that is presumed to prevail on Christ
mas Day, beggars and panhandlers spent
a very busy day yesterday. A dozen or
more col'lided with the police and spent
the night in cells.
1t is probable that the oldest case of
recent date was that of the fellow who
claimed to have "St. Vitus's dance in the
legs He took up his stand in different
sections of the city, at different times,
throwing one of his legs often for as
long as q quarter OF an hour.
AS the leg would shake he would ex-

unknowing, and was able TO escape the

In the First Precinct Court this morn
ing David Smith, who was there and was
let off on the same charge yesterday
morning. was fined $40 for begging on the
streets.
Charles A. Keeler. who claims to live
in Jersey City, was assessed a like
amount. He was accused of insulting
several persons who failed to give up.
Judge Howell imposed no penalties in
several other cases.
John Ryan, 4S years old, no home, and
John Heilly. so years old, of 81 Warren
street, were found begging In Broad street
yesterday afternoon and locked up. AT
the Second Precinct Police Court today
they were let go with a warning if caught

DIDN'T STEAL BABY
MEN TOOK 1T FROM O NJ
TO PROTECT 1T.
Mother Not in Condition to Do So, and
Detained by Policeman Who
Went to Her Aid.

A story that the 6-months-old baby
of Mrs. Agnes Gassert, 80 years of age,
of 272 South Eighteenth street, a
been Kidnapped by three men from its
mother early this morning at South
Orange avenue and South Nineteenth
street, became circulated in the Hill
section of the city today, but an IN
vestigation by Policeman Pfrommer. of
the Fourth Precinct, disclosed the fact
that there were no grounds for it.
The policeman happened to be in the
vicinity at the time and the cries of the
woman for her child attracted his at
tention. When he found that Mrs. Gas
sert was under the influence of liquor he
sent her to the police station and com
municated with Desk Sergeant Suchard
and informed him that the woman ac-
cused one Gus Trescher. of Is Rowland
street, of having the child. The sergeant
notified the police of the Second Pre-
cinct and asked them to pick up Trescher
and hold him until sent for by Captain
Vogel. Trescher stated that his COM
panions were Fred Poippeng, of 81 Blum
street, and Charles Lutter. of 242 Camden
street, and that be turned the child over
to Lutter because its mother was intoxi-
Gated and not in a proper condition to care
for 1t.
Trescher repeated the story in the pres
ence of Captain Vogel at the Fourth Pre-
cinct today, and Policeman Burnett was
sent out to find the woman's husband and
ascertain as much as possible about the
woman and her habits.
The woman was not arraigned in court.
but kept In the wltness-room pending the
result OF the investigation, and the Lutters
kept the child in their care. This after
noon Mrs. Gassert's mother-in-law called
dt the station and left with her daughter
in-law to get the child.

BOY SHOT IN NECK.
Lindsey Hand Hurt While Playing
with Christmas Toys.

While playing with the toys that
Santa Claus left him the night before,
Lindsey Hand, the ~12-year-old son of
James B. Hand, who lives at lis Bige-
low street, was shot in the neck yester-
day by another youth. The first thing
known of the accident was when he
ran into the house and informed his
father that he had been hurt. His neck
covered with blood.
The father made an examination and
found his son was suffering from a
flesh wound in the back of the neck.
1t was not serious, and after dressing
it the elder Hand started out to look
for the boy who did the shooting. He
found, he said. after some inquiries,
that the shooting had been done by
John Malloy. 16 years old, of 25S Eliza
beth e n 1t is said a Flobert rifle
with which the shooting was done is
owned by Thomas Lake, of II Hunter
street.
Malloy declares it vas an accident,
that his companion hit his arm just as
he pulled the trigger to fire at some OBJ
ject in another direction, and the
weapon was thus aimed toward Hand.
The latter was playing with an express
wagon. which he had received as a
Christmas present. No arrest was
made.

STRICKEN ILL AS HE
ANNOUNCED ELECTION.
Samuel Rothchild Suffers PaTalytic
Stroke at Meeting Of Birth

Samuel R%othchild, of A Breintnali

Columbia Hall, at Prince n Court

ing the result of the s~emi-annual cleo

that he was stricken. The book con-
tanning the result dropped from his
hands and he fell to the floor. Sew
eral members rushed to his assistance
and word was telephoned to DR.. Louis
L.. Davidson, and the victim was re-
moved to his home. His condition Is
not serious.
Mr.. Rothchiid la moi been well for

POLICE IN QUANDARY
PASSAIC JAILBREAKER KEPT
IN IOWA.
Paterson Authorities Fear They Won't
Get Richardson, There's Such a Time
in Davenport over Reward.

PATTERSON, Dec. 26.-It begins to
look as though John R. Richardson,
who broke jail in this city and is Under
arrest in Davenport, Ia, may not be
brought back to face the music here.
Sheriff Van MORT is anxious to secure
the mans return to this county end
has exhausted every effort toward this
end, but a hitch appears to have oc-
Cured out In Davenport. 1t has sprung
up over the question of who Is entitled
to the reward of $3.50 offered by Sheriff
Van Mort.
The Davenport police appear reluct-
ant to let a little ready change snip
through their fingers. The officer TO
whom Richardson was turned over by
the Boston store people thinks he has
done a. great service and is ready to
put in a claim. So is Desk Sergeant
Frank Lew, of the Davenport police.
AS far as can be ascertained Lew signed
the charge on which Richardson was
committed
The attitude of the Davenport police
cannot be mistaken. If the $250 re-
ward is not given to them they are pre-
pared to either turn Richardson over
to Pinkerton men who want him FOR
crimes elsewhere, or to hold him in
their own city on a charge of for
gerry.
The Passaic sheriff Is willing to place
the $3.50 in the hands of the prosecutor
at Davenport or with any other person
In authority there, to be awarded to the
proper person or persons, provided as
surance will be given that Richardson
will be released to the Passaic County
authorities.
IF we don't get Richardson now
said Sheriff Van Mort today, 1--WE will
land him later. At any event he will be
implicated somewhere and sentenced
to a term of Imprisonment. We will
keep our eyes on him and when he has
served out his time we will have an
officer to meet him when he energies
from the prison door,"

NEARLY FREED
THROUGH AN
ERROR
Alleged ShOpllfter Was
Taken for Another Inter
prefer Alert.

Through an oversight on the part OF
an acting clerk at the county jail,
Mary Jobronski, of East Orange, who
was arrested in a Broad street depart
ment store Saturday, charged with
shoplifting and held IN $500 bond to
await the action of the Grand Jury,
came within an ace of being set free
in the Fourth Precinct Police Court
oday by Judge Herr. Court Inter
prefer Isaac Binder prevented the
woman's release.
A Mrs. Emily Syozker, mother of
several children, who has been sep
arated from her husband for nine
months, and who lives at 1856 Howard
street, caused the arrest of one Vic
toria Zagnorska, who roomed in a fiat
in the same house, two days age after
she a preferred 2 charge of assault
and battery against her before Justice
OF, the Peace Blauvelt-i
The defendant was committed to jail
and the papers forwarded to the Fourth
Precinct Police Court. Clerk Pearson
sent one of the reserve men with the
patrol wagon to the New street insti-
tuition today to get the prisoner. At
the jail the alleged shoplifter was taken
from her cell and asked if her name
was Zagnorska. According to Wright
Sutcliffe, who was acting clerk, she re-
piled in the affirmative, and h was
sent to court.
When Mrs. Syozker's name was called
she failed to respond, and the court was
about to dismiss the case when Inter
prefer Binder found the complainant
in an adjoining room She was brought
in and allowed the complaint to be
read off and followed by relating her
side of the story.
The court instructed the interpreter
to get the defendants side of the
story, and the oma simply stated
that she knew nothing whatever about
the case.
ssYour honor, 1 believe a mistake has
been made" said Binder. He followed
1p by q~uizzing the would-be defendant
and learned that she was being held
on a charge of shoplifting.
II remember this case myself,
Judge" said Binder. This woman was
arrested with another for shoplifting
and arraigned Saturday in h First
Precinct Police Court"
The court asked the complainant if
the woman who was being questioned
was the one who assaulted her and
she replied:
"Nein, sic list nicht die frau. (No,
she is not the woman).
Clerk Pearson communicated with the
jail and the right prisoner was hurried
to court and paroled to await the action
of the Grand Jury and the shoplifter
taken back to the institution.
Rather narrow escape" said Judge
Herr. IF this complainant hadn't been in
court | would have discharged this wom-
an, and as Sergeant Suchard put 1t, it
would have teen a Comedy of Errors -
~ Eyes. ard Captain Carroll would have
demanded a thorough Investigation COM
mented another station attache.
At the jail it was stated hat Frank
Small. the regular clerk, was enjoying his
day off. and that 40 ore who understood
the Polish language was on hand to put
any questions to the woman before she
was sent to court. 3

SAY IT IS NOT THE
SAME DAN DELANEY.
Latter Accused of Having Robbed Man,
but Witnesses Say Offender Was
Another Man of Same Name.

James Smith, the complaining witness
in the trial of Daniel Delaney. whose
intoxication last Tuesday vas the cause
of the adjournment of the trial until
today, was sober enough in the Court
of Quarter Sessions today, after coin-
mitment to Jail for contempt. to tell
what he knew about Delaney's alleged
theft of his, Smiths, S24 during a de-
bauch in a Market street saloon two
years ago.
Smith, now thoroughly sobered. was
apparently most unwilling to testify
against Delaney. and while he said that
a Daniel Delaney had robbed him 1t
certainly was not the Daniel Delaney
that had been brought to trial.
Paul Kush, who has already pleaded
guilty to the charge and was arrested
and convicted some time ago, also
swore that the Daniel Delaney before
the bench was not the Daniel Delaney
he was with at the time Smith was re-
1ieved of his spare change.
The jury this afternoon found Delaney
guilty.
