ONE MURDERER
HELPS BUILD
GALLONS
Had to Assist in
Constructing ScaffOld for
Schuylsr'S Hanging.

PENNINGTON, Oct. 4.-That little
mercy is shown toward murderers in
Pennington by the Hunterdon authori-
ties was demonstrated when Michael
Tomasi, who was convicted Yesterday
of numbering Mrs. Della Congili, was
called on to aid in the erection of the
scaffold from which John S. Schuyler,
convicted of numbering Manning Riley
at Califon, was to be hanged today.
Governor Stokes, by granting a re-
prieve Wednesday, delayed the pro-
ceedings until November /. Schuyler
was the last man sentenced to be
hanged in this State, as the electrocu-
ton law went into effect for offenses
committed after March of this year.
That the Tomasi features was not the
only event to show that murderers
have little comfort in Hunterdon
County can be seen, for Schuyler has
been in solitary confinement since early
in May. In describing the situation to-
day one of Tomasi's friends severely
censured the existing conditions in this
county.
~"Schuyler's cell is nearly as black as
a dungeon. He can ever see at any
time to read a newspaper, and to me
1t is a wonder he hasn't gone blind. His
cell adjoined that occupied by Tomasi,
and one was as bad off as the other"
Following the usual custom the erec-
ton of the scaffold from which Schuy-
Ter was to. be hanged was begun ten
days in advance, and Tomasi, with other
prisoners, was led into the jail yard to
erect it. After it was completed 1t was
allowed to be on public exhibition to
every man, woman and child, not alone
in Pennington, but from other places
nearby, who went to the town out of
morbid curiosity as hangings and the
machinery for them are rare sights in
the county. Among the visitors were
women with babes in arms.
When the Tomasi trial began on
Monday, however, a sign was posted on
the gate bearing the legend:
please do not ask to see the scat
fold today"
Other persons who learned of the de-
mand made on Tomasi, to aid in erect
ing the scaffold from which another
man was to be hanged, classed it with
the ancient style of punishment which
required a lawbreaker to dig his own
grave.

WHEN is A JAG NOT A
JAG? GIVE THE ANSWER.
Not Really Drunk When He Can Dodge
the Gutter, He Tells Judge-As
for Himself-but Read!

The old, old question, "Nhen is a man
drunk?" was argued in the Third Pre-
cinct Police Court this morning. James
Murphy, cigarmaker, was before the bar
the legal bar-and intoxication was the
charge against his name. When asked to
plead he said he was not guilty.
Il was not drunk, your honor" he said.
Il can cite authorities to prove that I
was not intoxicated" And then he pro-
ceeded to tell about the decision of a
Southern judge who handed down an opin-
Ion sometime ago to the effect that a
man was not drunk so long as he could
lie on the sidewalk and keep himself from
rolling into the gutter.
Il admit ] had been drinking" conelud-
ed the Interesting prisoner, but L didn't
annex the sidewalk as a berth, and 1 GER
tainly didn't go into the gutter. To be
sure | staggered, and, as this gentlemanly
officer says, I might have been a little
boisterous. Memory is treacherous, you
know, and. anyway, details breed monot-
| rest my case"
Discharged" said the court after ear
Ing that the defendant had secured en-
ployment in this city and would go to
work. The court made it plain, however,
that his views and those of the Southern
judge did not necessarily coincide.

FILLED WITH FIREWATER
INDIAN SEEKS TROUBLE.
When Chorus Girl Won't Love Him the
Noble Redman Attempts to Force
Suit with Pistol.

PATTERSON, Oct. 4.-Henry Arcond, a
full-blooded Indian of the Sioux tribe,
originally hailing from South Dakota. left
his place at the New York Hippodrome
last evening and came to this city with
blood in his eye.
The Indian is said to be desperately in
love with a chorus girl in a now
playing at the Folly Theatre. The young
woman. known on the stage as Lulu
Brown. is married and her husband, "Vul-
cam billed as the strongest man in the
world is with her.
Advances made by the Indian from time
to time were repulsed by the young
woman. Last evening she received a tele-
gram from Arcond. She was notified that
the signer would arrive in town late In
the evening, and the wording of the mes
Sc re led her to fear that SOM harm would
come to her or her husband
The Indian called at the Folly Theatre
cafe and Immediately proceeded to I'LL up
on "drewater.'
Vulcan" was tipped off and decided TO
seek police protection. He described fine
Indian to Captain Taylor as a desperate
man. In a hand-to-hand encounter the
strong man declared his ability to double
the red skin In two, but mix-ups were bad
for professional people and he desired to
avoid trouble. He thought Arcond might
be armed.
Reserve Officers McGrath and Fitzpatrick
went out in civilian dress and found the
Indian in the barroom. Arcond drank three
glasses of whiskey in the presence of the
officers. surveying himself In the mirror
after each drink. After inquiring for "Vul-
he walked out Of the place.
The two officers followed, and outside
McGrath clapped his hands on the Indians
hip pocket. He felt a pistol there and
seized the fellow, Fitzpatrick being on the
other side of the man at the time. Arcond
was placed under arrest and taken to
headquarters. Thu weapon carried by him
was loaded and one of the leaden balls
was found to be nicked and sharpened TO
a point. !.
The Indian was fined this morning for
carrying n concealed weapon. and held to
await any action that ''Vulcan' and his
wife care to enter against him. Il is
their desire that he be detained until they
sail for Europe, in order that further
trouble and possible %bloodshed may be
aVerted.

SLEPT in CELLAR
"MISSING" MAN SNORING
IN HAMMOCK.
David NJ. wiegand Refused to Go Up
to Bed and Kearny Police
Were Called For.

Peacefully sleeping in a hammock in the
cellar Of his home, from which emanated
nasal tones that led to his discovery,
David NJ. Wiegand, g. years old. was
found by his daughter, Mrs. William f..
Dunscombe, with whom he resided, at 10
Davis avenue, Kearny, near midnight last
night, after the whole neiGhborhood had
been on a vigorous search for him the
entire evening.
It was 8 o'clock when Mrs. Dunscombe
missed her parent, and becoming alarmed
after searching the house and not finding
him she ran to her neighbors and aroused
them. Several women enlisted in the
search. Two or three times they visited
police headquarters making inquiries con-
corning him that continued until near the
midnight hour, when Night Sergeant
.Zitzow was called UP on the telephone
and the information came that Mr..
Weigand had been found in the cellar in
a hammock.
All the persuasive powers. of the women
who had Joined in the hunt led by his
daughter to induce him to go to his bed
on the second floor We're f~ruitless and
officers were asked for. Sergeant John
Smith and Policeman Asa Smith responded
and they met with the same rebuff. They
were compelled to carry him up the two
flights against his protest, after which the
household quieted down. He would give
no reason why he had sought his new
sleeping chamber.

Starts Discussion.

The fire Departments Of the three West
Hudson towns were discussed at the OPEN
Ing fall meeting of the West Hudson Coun-
ty Board of Trade last night at Riordan's
Hall, Harrison. A recent chimney fire in

result that the house was flooded.
Samuel Worthington declared that more

men.
"A paid fire department is necessary in
the three West Hudson municipalities"
he said, and each should have a
steamer"
He wanted the board to recommend to
the authorities Of each town to estab-
lish a paid department.
On motion of Robert Torrance, the sec
rotary was directed to c~ommunicat with
the fire committee of the Common Cour-
ellis of each West Hudson municipality
and urge that each fire company be
equipped with rubber blankets to use for
Members of the BOARD complained of
crowds of young men who gather nightly
at the junction of the three towns in
North Fourth street at the bridge over
the Erie Railroad cut, and the secretary
was instructed to write to the chiefs of
police of each town and ask that the nui-
SARGE be abated.
Mayor George Baylis. of North Airing
on. reported that the Bergen County
Board of Freeholders was ready to under
take the Improvement Of the Belleville
turnpike, but that he had been informed
that the Hudson County Board of Free
holders had no funds ready so as to CO.

The secretary will communicate with
both boards and n committee will also
visit both boards and urge speedy action.
The board discussed the ten cent fare
from North Arlington to this city, which
discriminates against that borough. and
efforts will be made to have 1t lowered TO
five cents.
Secretary Philip A.. McAviney submitted
n report on what the board has accom-
plished. what 1t is doing and what II
may do. and 1t proved so interesting to
the members that 500 copies will be printed.
At the next meeting of the board a
luncheon will be served.
