[speclal 70 the Evening star.l

ELIZABETH, Feb. ga little group,
all in mourning. stood around a grave
at the northern end of Mt. Olivet Gene
terry today, and as a casket was low
cred there were tears and sobbing, and
one mourner. a woman we'll up in
years and with gray hair. wept loudly
and long.
She was Mrs. Ides, mother of Frank,
or Dutch Ides, the Jersey Jesse
James, who was shot to death IN the
outskirts of Newark by Policeman
Weber Saturday morning.
He was always good to me. He was
a good boy" she moaned. and then as
the last clod of earth was placed on
the mound friends took the grief
stricken mother away, although they
could not curb her deep emotion.
Over the casket there were placed
many handsome floral offerings. There
were pillows and wreaths and loose
flowers, and the words Son and
Friend" and "Comrade'' were en-
scrolled on many of them, for Ides was
popular with many, who knew him be-
fore his disastrous career commenced
and to many of them he was q hero
or at least a Victim of circumstances.
At the ,Ides home in Broadway las
night the neighbors and friends
thronged the place to look at the body
There were some who called at the
home out of curiosity, but none was
kept out.
The aged Mrs. Ides met them at the
door, and w%eepingly led them to the
bier of her son, telling them what a
faithful son he was and bewailing his
untimely end. Since the body was
brought home last Sunday the Ides
home had been the centre of throngsi
especially many boys.
The Ides family has been connected fol
years with st. Michael's Church, which
is the edifice where the German and
German-American Catholic residents
worship. Up to the age of manhood
Frank Ides was an attendant at the
church, and like the others, faithful in
his duties and in no way considered
reckless or inclined to evil.

stocks and pillory of early times were
revived in memory here yesterday when
ID. II. Dillon, said to be a former Chi
cago gambler, was chained to a tele-
phone pole all day for refusing to pay
his fine for having fleeced several young
men of the town. He was arrested and
fined for running a poker game.
Shackles were placed about his feet and
he was fastened to a pole in the lookup

Judge Mckenzie. who fined the pris-
oner. and that Dillon would be chained
up daily until he pays his fine or agrees

her husband, has the pure womanly
spirit that generates sympathy for the
poor mother of the boy who was
killed. +
II am thankful tonight that ] am not

a reporter. "Ides was alone in the

family, and was unmarried. But Jack
has me and our two little boys to live
for, and so. as long as it was to be
one of the two, l am glad it was moi
Jack who was killed.
Mrs. Weber did not learn of the emf
sode in which her husband took part
Saturday morning until she received
the Morning Star that day. She said
her husband knew of the fairness
of the accounts in THE STAR. and as
he had other matters to attend to. did
not fear to have her learn of it from
the paper. When asked If the news
worried her, she said:
Didn't Worry About "Jack..

they had taken no steps to care for the
