Brewster Declares He Is Quite
Convinced Slayer of Aunt
Is Out of Mind.
ROW OVER DISPOSITION
OF RECOVERED LOOT
Prosecutor Holds 1t and Refuses
to Give 1t Up to Coroner,
Who Demands 1t.

HACKENSACK. July 25.-August
Eberhard, self-confessed slayer of his
aunt, Mrs. Ottilie Eberhard, may never
face a jury.
"Eberhard is insane declared Sheriff
Brewster, in whose custody the muir
derer has been for the past three days.
HE is just as insane as a man can be.
1 nave watched him closely and the
mar is undoubtedly out of his mind"
Twill I ask to have a commission
appointed to test his sanity? AS yet l
haven't decided what TO do, but l shall
certainly inform Prosecutor Rooster of
the many marks of insanity Eberhard
has exhibited. 1t will then be up to
him to do as he thinks best. l will
testify and give my opinion that he is
insane if l am called before such a
commission"
Prosecutor Rooster could not be
reached at his office or his home his
afternoon, and it is not known what &C.
ton he will take toward testing the
sanity of the s~elf-confessed murderer.
Tomorrow there will be a family re-
union of the Eberhard family in the
Hackensack Jail. The aged parents of
the murderer have written to the sheriff
of their intention to visit August to-
morrow. Charles, he brother who lives
with his parents, will accompany them,
a1d Freda, sister of the slayer, who
disappeared from her home Sunday
last, will also visit him.
Deputy Coroner T.. M. Pell threatens
to call down the wrath of the courts
upon Prosecutor Rooster. whose re-
fusal to give to the coroner the 81, 459
found in Laurel Grove Cemetery has
angered the latter no little.
1--WE need that money for evidence at
the inquest" declares the coroner.
1.-THE mar is under d charge of muir
der. You don need anything more
than that" the prosecutor retorted.
Eberhard has changed his mind about
wanting to die. Since last night, when
the pongs of hunger became acute,
| Eberhard has quit refusing o On
| the contrary, he has devoured every
thing the keeper brought him since
hat time.
Miss Ottilie Eberhard has given
Prosecutor Rooster a large package of
tender missives from her cousin. They
were in German and will be translated.

HARMLESS,
But WIFE SAYS He
ABUSED HER SADLY
Meek and Diminutive Husband
Accused by Husky Spouse
of Death Threats.

Diminutive Harry Livermore, of 20
Warren place, looked so docile and
harmless in the First Precinct Court
today alongside of his athetically-built
brown-haired, black-eyed wife, that the
court could hardly believe it's ears
when the wife, Lillian told her story:
Yes, Judge" said she. Harry has
threatened to take my life many times,
lie is my fourth husband, and | be
lieve he is the worst OF the lot. When
he comes home F~ridays-he is a travel
ing salesman, you know-he make my
life miserable until he goes away
again"
Harry never said a word. He just
sat there and ducked every time his
wife shot her swapping black eyes in
his direction. If his action at home Is
as mild as 1t was in court, Mrs. Liver
more cannot be so badly bused as she
says. She swept out of court in the
midst of a bevy of feminine friends
when Judge Howell held lei husband
in $500 bail as a guarantee of his APP
pearance in court next Wednesday.

cum Mikes his Report to,
xl9 the Governor.

State Game and Fish Warden j.
II. Marcum, of Huntington, has
transmitted TO Secretary of State c.
w. swisher his annual report show
ing that there were 221 cases com
ing under his department. during the
past year for violation of the fish
and game laws. of which total there
were 100 conviction. 80 acquitals, 8
appeals and four are pending. Fines
to the amount Of $3,435 have been
paid There were IA jan sentences
applied, twelve for dynamitiug fish
and two for killing song birds.
Notwithstanding the hardsiiips inn
posed upon the deputies by III
courts, Warden Marcum says, there
has been some effective work done.
His report follows:
Hon. c. w. swisher,
Secretary OF State.
Slr-It is my pleasure to submit to
you my report as state game and
fish warden for the year ending De-
cember 81, 1907, and in compliance
with the requirements OF section c,
chapter 80, of the acts OF 1901:
have found that the decisions of
some our courts holding that the
game wardens cannot receive the
fines as set forth in our game laws
and for this reason many OF the dep
titles pay but little attention to the
enforcement Of our game and fish
laws, as they do not feel disposed to
spend their time and money in run
ming down violators OF the law. NOT
knowing that they win be paid for
their time and money. Yet under
these conditions there have been eff
fective work done by the few faith
full wardens, and the game and fish
are getting more plentiful. especially
so in the sections where the laws are
enforced. Quail, pheasants and ,tur-
keys, have been more plentiful this
season than for number of years.
Deer in Greebrier and Pocahontas
counties have been quite numerous,
as wen as in several other counties.

convictions for this onense during the
