WAS HIS
OWN ASSA|LANT,
SAY THE POLICE
Assert That Burglars" lie Told
of Were Creatures of His
Imagination.

Pale and haggard after his alleged
experience with W. burglars, Frank
Price, 26 years old, of So Green street,
was arraigned in the First Precinct
Police Court today charged with ma
licious mischief, and vas paroled in
the custody of his counsel, Samuel j.
Macdonald.
The police allege that h wounds
upon Prices body were self-inficted
and that his story of a terrible battle
with two burglars during the early
hours of Monday morning Is a fabrica-
ton, pure and simple. 1t Is the conten-
ton of the police that Price was in
financial straits and that he wished to
convey the impression thai he had been
robbed. For sixteen years the young
man was employed at the North Ward
Bank. and claims to have resigned be-
cause of ill-health.
Outside of the Price home a. razor
vas found, but it is claimed that Price
was not cut by a razor. and the young
nan himself says he does not know
what weapon was used by his alleged
assailants. it was so dark.
Price would make no statement for
publication. although the young mans
mother intimated that someon would
have to make reparation for the arrest
and notoriety brought upon her son. 1t
is not claimed that anything was taken
from the Price home. ~.

Found a W0man's Diamond Ring

Search.
Especial to the Evening start

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 19.-If the
story told by Detective Sergeant John
Clinton, about the recovery of a long
lost diamond ring, is correct he has
Hawkshaw and all the other famous
looking like amateurs.
AS he tells the story, two years ago
he was sitting in front Of the police
station calmly smoking his pipe when
he saw a bird fly past carrying a rib
bon In its bill; dangling from the rib
thing yellow. The eagle-eyed detective
noticed, too, he declares, that the bird
was minus one Toe.
Shortly after the bird passed the po-
lice station a woman, very much ex-
cited, reported that she was looking
for a diamond ring which her child
had dropped in the street. The officer
related his observations to the woman
and she declared the bird surely had
the ring.
While there was a lull in the gum
shoe business late yesterday afternoon,
Detective Sergeant Clinton was again
smoking his pipe outside the station
house on George street, when he
noticed a bird minus a toe fly past.
He followed the bird with his Eye, saw
1t go to its nest and then searched the
nest. The ribbon with the ring still
attached was woven in the nest. The
detective sergeant exhibited the ring
today in substantiation of his story.
He did not arrest the bird for theft.

HIGH PRIEST OF
HOLY KISSERS IS
LOCKED IN JAIL
Head of 0sculatory Sect, a Ne

White Girl.

HI Church of the Holy Kissers is
Temporarily without a prophet, the high
priest, John Heckerson, having been
locked up after he pleaded not guilty
to a charge of assault and battery In
the Court of Special Sessions.
Heckerson had the kissing habit, and
was proud of it. He was the original
kisser. he said, and taught the sisters
the real genuine art of kissing. But
one day he tried to kiss Laura May
Hughes, a ~16-year-old white girl, and
she resisted the negro. Then she had
him arrested.
Heckerson, who is a 1.-THE negro and
was head of the Church of the Holy
Kissers al 406 Mulberry street until
mis- arrest, declares that the Bible COM
mands him TO go forth upon the earth
and kiss his sisters. The more sisters
there are, the better the task, be de-
clares. He never was a gutter. any
how, he says, and never fiinched In the
face OF duty. So when duty" COM
manded him to kiss Miss Hughes, he
did so.
First and greatest In the articles OF
his creed is this reference to kissing
and its sanctity:
Whoever comes in is to salute the
elders. This is the rule In all the
sanctiied churches among white and
colored. Then go around in the church
and kiss one another on the cheeks
So on every Sunday and often during
the week there was a kissing bee al
the church in which Heckerson took
the lead. One day Miss Hughes found
the rules all written out in Heckerson's
handwriting. and kept them. They

ANOTHER HEAVY RAIN COMES IN EARLY MORN

It was just like the rain on Cyclone Night, the rain that fell after midnight this morning. It didn't endure as long and 1t came so late that there were but few people out on the streets to be drowned if they had retrousse noses and didn't cork them very quickly indeed, but it was terrible while It lasted
 As early as 10 o'clock there was a spit of rain but 1t amounted to little except to pretty persons in their best bibs and fuckers and perfectly appar- eled persons, who had credit at the hackman's anyway. Two of three bully bachelor bonnets, the latest shape in straw for men. dropped bit ana that was all the damage. as the sport says when he gets the bill TOT hlfnseii and his best Eoil.
 But very late when all those persons had gone home and only police persons and paper persons and the ike were out, the weather just tried itselt. There were frequent lightnings. as very ancient poet once writ fearful to look att lightnings that came on into the room and knocked afterwards with a violence of sound that rattled the windows and made the lights trem- ble
 Then of a sudden down came the rain.
 It made pretty rivulets of the gut ters which shone and glimmered and sparkled under the arc lights, just like a moon scene on the stage, and all the wide street.
