HOW THE WOMAN DIED

Newark, \. j., Dec. 29.-The woman
whose nude body was found on, the
Hackensack meadows, in the town OF
Harrison, last Thursday. was stunned
~ blows on the head and then thrust
headforemost into pool of water. Thus
grewsome story was told tonight at
The autopsy. which left no doubt as to
the details of the murderer's work. The
body is believed to be that of Agnes
O'Keefe a domestic who had been en-
ployed by several families in Orange.
The autopsy was made by DIR. c. II.
SchultZe of New York, with the assist
ance and authorization of the coroner
and county physician. At its conclusion
the lungs and intestines were removed
TO a laboratory for microscopic eXam-
nation.
Tells Story of Crime.
The physician discovered that the Wo-
man had been struck twice on the back
of the head with such force as to rem
der her unconscious, and that while III
this state and still breathing, she was
pitched headforemost into the pool
where she was drowned The water at
the spot was shallow and the head
struck the bottom with sufficient force
TO roll the water so that her dying
gasps drew into the lungs bits of ashes
and cinders. There were two abrasions
at the base Of the brain, behind the
right car.
After inficting these. the physicians
determined. the murderer slit the wO-
mans clothing from the neck down
This was skiIfully done, for though the
cutting was made with hardly more
than a single movement of a Keen
edged weapon, that stroke made Its
way through every thickness OF cloth
ing and at no time did the point of
the knife enter the body. That the
weapon was not used TO aid the murder
is believed to be due to the hope OF
the assassin that the case might be

trict are endebted for saving the
natural rocks of the Common
wealth 10 all OF its citizens-for il
Is undisputed that but for Mr..
Sears iirmness and ability. either
the Jordan bill or some compro-
mise measure would have become
a law.
Make 4 point OF taking half
holiday Saturday and going to
your voting precinct and cast
your ballot. See that your neigh
Dor takes sufficient interest in his
State and county TO vote for the
men who will be charged with the
conduct of public affairs. This is
a duty you owe yourself.
We cannot see how the people
of this district, irrespective of
county lines, can feel themselves
justified in swapping their repre-
sentatives in the Senate at this
time.
The oyster packers, who have
fastened their eyes upon the pub
lie rocks, have organized for the
fight and they are hoping for Mr..
Sears defeat, and the great body
of people ought to be aroused to
/ the necessity OF retaining in the
Senate man Cf experience and
the Senator who has successfully
fought the packers combination
through two sessions OF the
Legislature.
Don't lull yourselves TO sleep
with the idea that the men who
want the natural rocks arc not
watching and waiting for a chance
to pounce down on the Legisla-
ture and secure the passage of a
similar bill to the Jordan bill,
which would wipe out the natural
rocks.

WE teel that we are not VIC
lating the prophecies in urging
upon the voters of this Senatorial
District, and especially of the
county of Mathews, the support
of the Hon. j. Boyd Sears for re-
nomination TO the Senate e
Virginia.
With all due respect TO his OPP
Ponent, and recognizing his
prbanity and pleasing address. we
think that no matter from what
viewpoint the contest is seen,
every consideration should induce
the Democrats of the district, and
the people, irrespective of party,
TO return Mr.. Sears to the Senate.
If party nominations shoaId be
given as a reward for party SER
vice, surely Mr.. Sears is the more
deserving Democrat, for his abil-
ity. his time, his powers of ora
tory and his special and peculiar
gifts as a debater have been given
unreservedly to the party from
his youth up. All over the Con-
gressional District and over 4
great portion of the State Of
Virginia, he has, at his own ex-
pense, advocated the claims of
his party. What claims his OPP
ponent has upon the party other
than that he has voted the ticket
and oihcIated with the organiza-
tion, we have never heard Ger
family in this end of the Senatorial
District We have never had the
benefit of his services.
And if public Office should be
given as a reward for public SER
vice, surely Mr.. Sears splendid
record in the Senate of Virginia,
his mastery fight against the
Jordan bill. his successful efforts
70 reduce from S. and $40 to So
the license tax on pound nets anu
his ialthfulness and watchfuIness
in their service should induce the
people to again honor him with
their confidence and support-for
even his opponents admit that no
member of the Senate made a
more brilliant record than he.
And his past earnest and dis
tinguished services to his constiu-
ents is the best guarantee he can
have of future faithlulness and
devotion.
To the people Of his native
county, his candidacy should APP
peal with peculiar force. We
know that they admire his splen-
did qualities of head and heart,
we appreciate that they are proud
that son of old Mathews has
made so enYiable a State record,
-fand gives such promise of future
usefulness TO Virginia and of
career rejecting great credit upon
his county, but we hope that too
many Of his friends will not take
1t as matter of course that he
will be returned to the Senate,
and therefore iail to go the polls
on Saturday, the Goth. and vote.
There was Il time when our
little county had MANY men in the
public service Of the Staten the
judicial, legislative and executive
branches Of our State Govern
lnent. These men served Their
State with fidelity. courage and
signal ability. and yet the muta
ms of politics, factional strife
and ti.e principle of rae Dict S
nave left Mathews the county
that has gained the distinction OF
being al avs faithful to the cause
Of Democracy, the county that

JUDGE TANNER
DENIES PRAYER
FOR INJUNCTION

Judge Tanner today handed down the
following rescript In the case Of Wallace
Wilson, special administrator. VS.. Nellie
W. Pilling This Is bill In equity
brought by the administrator OF an estate
appointed In Massachusetts, The bill al.
leges that the defendant unlawfully. and
by false pretences got into her possession
certain diamonds and jewelry OF the in
testate, and has secreted the same; that
the complainant has heretofore brought
action against the respondent IN Massa-
chusetts for trover for the conversion OF
said property, which action is still pend
ing.
Also that the defendant is without
means and financially irresponsible a1d
has no property upon which annexation
might be obtained and upon which execu-
ton could be levied, and that he believes
the respondent will dispose of said proper
" before an execution can be obtained
I'm said action. The complainant, there
fore, prays that the respondent may be
enJoined from dlsposing OF said property,
or incumbering II, and that he may make
discovery OF the location OF said property
and the terms and conditions under which
she or any other holder claiiNs TO hold
the same. Also that the defendant may
be ordered TO place said property in the
custody of the clerk OF the court"
1T Is claimed by the complainant that
the court has jurisdiction 10 grant the re-
lief asked for because he has no adequate
remedy at law, and is liable TO suffer ire
parable damage. The complainant has
filed brief In this case In which he has
cited no authority tc sustain any such
proceeding, and the court has been unable
To find any authority which seems to
Justify It, The bill. as We read it is one
| resting the jurisdiction purely upon the
| financial responsibility OF the respondent
IL Is not denied that the complainant cam
not obtain Judgment at law. but IL Ia as
| serted that he can, and that he has
| brought action for that purpose In Massa-
4chnsettsr-HE true that bills have been
maintained TO prevent trespasses TO real
property, and also 10 compel specify per
| formance OF contracts to convey personal
property where the defendant Is insolvent.
| But In these cases there Is well recov-
nized ground for equity Jurisdiction. in
dependent OF the fact OF insolvency. bu,
| We have found no case which rests the
| Jurisdiction OF the court solely ,rpon the
ground OF insolvency, or financial respon.
| sibility
The discovery asked for in the bill IS
not asked Tor the purpose OF enabling
replevin TO be brought and discovery
alone would be OF no avail The Other
relief asked for in the bill seems TO us tc
be very novel upon authority, and ~ sus
| tainable we think would be OF freouen,
occurrence The scheme OF lmpoundins
personal property with the clerk OF IN,
court to await the result of an action al
law, seems also novel III permitted 4
would result in asking the clerk 10 allow
the service OF an execution obtained n
another state upon property I'm the Gus
tody OF the court I'm this state. For thes.
reasons, We think that the prelimInar,
injunction asked for must be denied"

The question OF what attorney should
conduct the defense OF Michele Sylvestri,
accused Of killing his brother. arose this
morning in the district court when the
prisoner was called TO the bar for trial.
The question was between James A.
williams, Judge Richard f. Lyman and
Judge Lee. presiding over the trial.
When Sylvestri came to the bar Judge
Lyman arose as his attorney and said
his client was ready for trial
Then Mr.. williams arose and said
Your honor. I supposed l was defend
ing the prisoner i appeared for him at
his arraiegment. / have had interviews
with him and with his wife. and ] have
neither been paid for my services nor been
discharged.
Judge Lee said that II the prisoner had
got other counsel the court could not help
that.
Mr.. Lyman said that he thought he was
the first employed in the case. He said
that he had heard that Mr.. Williams had
been in the case. but he had been told
by the wife and friends of the prisoner
that Mr.. williams had been discharged
Said he: 81 will leave IL up to the FAMILY
which one OF us Is employed"
That's me-" said Mr.. Williams with a
not very serious smile.
Judge Lee then put the question TO the
prisoned which one Of the attorneys ne
had employed. and he answered through
Raia. The one my family
and my wife employed"
Mrs Sylvestri when asked which attor-
ney she desired I'm broken Italian repieu
that she wanted Mr.. Lyman. She said she
had paid Mr.. Williams nothing and inu-
mated that she had had no negotiations
with him When asked IL she had had
interviews with Mr.. williams, she evaded
a direct yes or no.
Judge Lee after more remarks by tine
partiese concerned again asserted that he
could do nothing, and suggested that
both attorneys stay In the case.
Mr. williams responded: 'I'l stay on
the case and let Mr.. Lyman do the work
Mr. Lyman retorted that either the one
or other OF them would act alone, that
the family could either pay and dis
charge Mr.. williams or choose him to do
the work. IN which case he would return
tho fee paid to himself. Mr.. Lyman ask
