off by Mrs. Flynn.
Chief Flynn saw the men near his
home when he came in from a police

jumped to his feet and pursued them.
He fired many shots at them and the

Two Million Dollar Edifice Based
on Rotten Stone, Con-
tractor Says.
STARTLING CHARGES
IN CHANCERY SUIT
Shrump, Who Laid Walls, Ac=
cuses Heningham. Who Had
Contract, of Poor Work.

That the foundation walls of the Es-
sex County Asylum for the Insane, at
Overlook, recently completed at d
cost of over $2,000,000 are crumbling
away and that the stone therein is
disintegrating because it was improp-
erly laid, were the startling charges
made under oath today by Frederick
w. Shrump, of Pleasantdale, who fur
nished the stone.
Richard E. Heningham, the general
contractor, who, with the Essex County
Board of Freeholders, is defendant in
a chancery suit brought by Shrump,
took the stand to deny Mr.. Shrump's
statements Mr. Heningham admitted
that much of the stone placed in the
foundation walls had crumbled away
and was still crumbling but declared
that the bulk of it was good, and added
that the stone did not crumble because
of POOR workmanship in the laying, but
because it was defective stone.
.'It Is placed on edge" declared
Shrump, "and any mason can tell you
done The stone will soon turn to
dust"
Mr. Heningham declared that the
brownstone which Shrump had fur
nished for the foundation walls and
water tables was of such poor quality
that tons of it dumped on the prem
ises disintegrated from the action Of
the clements before it could be used.
Many tons of this material, he said,
had gone into the foundation walls be-
fore it was discovered that the quality
was poor.

Fearing, he said, that his life is in
Jeopardy, Daniel Spillane, of 2S5 Ogden
street, appeared in the Second Precinct
Court today and swore out warrant
for the arrest of Lawrence Miller, aged
21 years, of S5 Boyden street. whom he
charged with assault and battery.
According to Spillane. he has had
some trouble with a number of his fell
low workers in a factory on Ogden
street, near Fourth avenue, and this,
he alleges, led to his being waylaid and
badly beaten while on his way home
from work six weeks ago. Miller, he
said. was discharged on November 30
and few moments later assaulted him
Just as he had left the building. The
case was continued until next Friday
when both men were instructed to ap-
pear with their witnesses.

Husband Of Martella's S
Slayer Disappears
MySteriouSly.
HIS TESTIMONY WAS
CONSIDERED VALUABLE
Missing Man Feared Victims
Relatives, Declares His
Attorney.

Carmine Amore. the rich husband of
Josephine Amore, who will be tried on
December IA for killing the man who
wanted her to eIope with him, has mys-
teriousIy disappeared from his home at
IA Drift street, and his lawyer, Joseph
s. Murphy, today expressed the fear
that he has fallen n victim of the vari-
GUS conspiracies and intriSues which
have made this a most unusual murder
case.
A week ago a witness who had been
frequently threatened in the case, found
dynamite bomb sizzling in his hall
way.
The police first arrested Carmine
Amore, who is wealthy grocer, charg-
ing him with the murder of Michael
Martella on the evening of August
last, but Mrs. Amore, a pretty young
woman, surrendered herself, declaring
she had shot Martella
She declared that Martella had
threatened her life unless she eloped
with him and brought with her the
$4,000 in Jewels she and her husband
were known to have and 81, 500 in cash.
On that night Martella knew that
Amore had the cash and jewels in his
house.
AmOre Out ON Ball.
The prosecution considered Amore
such a valuable witness that he was
only released on furnishing $4,000 bail
When Amore was released he found
that his grocery business, under the
guidance of his young daughter, had
ha INN ,a1i taix-
stocked the place and was doing
thriving business. On Monday night
he called on his wife's brother, Domi-
lick Valentino, head of the Letter
Carriers Association and prominent in
politics, and after his visit there he
has not been seen by his friends.
AT that time he wore large diamond
ring valued at several hundred dollars
and had quite sum OF money. His
daughter thinks he had about $500.
His lawyer says it was in excess OF
800.
Talked About Trial.
He remained with Valentino in his Of
fee at Broad and Grant streets for an
hour, talking about the coming trial
of Mrs. Amore, and when he departed
he said he was going home He never
reached his home.
His elatives, the lawyer and others
have sent inquiries In every possible
direction, but not word has been
heard.
Attorney Murphy stated today that
Amore had been in fear of the friends
of Martella, whom his wife killed, and
that he had asked for police proiec.
ton
The bondsmen of Amore stated today
that they did not believe that he had
willingly disappeared. because his
wife's plea of justifiable homicide de-
pends largely on his testimony Amore
was counted on to save his wife from
the electric hair.

Old Trinity churehxard.

There is no more dismal and hideOus sight than new graveyard full of glittering, obtrusive white monuments, square, ponderous and costly. But a burying ground which has attained a ripe age, say, a century or so, is capa- ble of affording a distinct sensation of aesthetic pleasure. Toned and tenn pered by wind and weather into neu- tral harmony, the intrusive lettering on the stones half obliterated, there re- mains no ghastly funeral suggestion. but only a gentle impulse to quote Omar on the evanescence of things Such a graveyard is the old Trinity, past which the busy crowds of Broad way and Wall street surge all day. It is thing of beauty, though perhaps not one in a hundred of those eager
 men hurrying past ever stops to look at it or think of it, If he did, one lmagines he would slacken his pace and perhaps take half holiday.
