LUST OF BLOJD'
CALLED TO GRAND
JURYS ATTENTION
Chief Justice in Charge Says
Five Should Be Indicted
for Murder.
lNOUISITORS TO LOOK INTO
CHARGE AGAINST SLEUTHS
Court Says They Can Indict ii
Woman's Allegations Are
Sustained.

sTt seems as IL during last summer
the lust of blood ran riot in this
county,
So said Chief Justice Gummere In the
course of a long charge to the first
September grand jury. which was
sworn into office before him In the
Court of Oyer and Terminer today,
with Albert S. Marten, of East Orange,
as foreman.
The chief justice also told the jurors
that if they found to be true certain
statements made to the court regard
ing the methods OF a detective agency
in recent chancery court proceedings
indictments for conspiracy should be
found. The remainder of the charge
dwelt in detail upon the duties of grand
Jurors generally and their obligations
to keep their work secret.
Urges Five Murder Indictments.
Referring to the "lust OF blood" the
chief justice said
There are 1--WE cases in which. if the
facts submitted to the court are true,
there should be indictments for murder.
Death in each of these cases resulted
from the use of a deadly weapon-a
knife or a gun The law of New Jersey
divides criminal homicide into three
classes--hrst and second degree murder
and maaslaughter. The indictments
should charge murder generally in
murder cases, and then it becomes the
province of the trial court to determine
whether it is murder in the first or
second degree.
I'm each one of these five cases the
accused is an Italian, and in each one OF
them. as | conceive it, your duty will
be TO fndict for murder
"rhere are eight other cases of homi-
eide which will be submitted TO you fdr
investigation. and If in those cases the
facts so justify 1t there should be IN
dictments for manslaughter.
"There are two kinds of manslaushter
voluntary and involuntary. Where
one man takes the life OF another in
the heat of passion. his anger excited,
voluntary manslaughter ensues' inc
other kind is where death occurs. not
through any intentional act, but be-
cause OF carelessness, by failure to re-
gard ones duty to another
Careless MOtormen.
",There are eight cases of the latter
class. arising out of accidents; five
cases, l believe due to the alleged care
lessness of motormen running trolley
cars, one to an automobile and the
others to truck drivers
The court then defined the various
degrees of careiessness for which
motornen and others may be held re-
sponsible. and said that all careless
ness is not necessarily criminal, but
may be made Punishable by civil
action brought on the part of the in
jured party.
There is one other case" continued
the chief justice. coming down to the
conspiracy point, (which l deem of
sufficient Importance to mention to
you.
1T appears that resident of this
city-it is rot. necessary to mention
his name.-.conceived the idea that his
wife was unfaithful to him and he en-

PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN
HAVE ANNUAL DINNER.

There was a large attendance at the
second annual Inner of the Woman's Mis-

terian Church in the lecture room last
night. Eight long tables were in use. The
decorative scheme was effectively carried
out in pink, with shaded candelabra and
long f~estoons of pink crepe reaching from
the side pillars to the centre of the ceiling.
Mrs. George Hawkes. presided at the tea
tables, and those who served at the various
tables were Mrs. Pleasant Hunter and Mrs.
George F. Reeves, Mrs. George Lambert
and Mrs. Spader Willis, Mrs. Henry Lutes
and Mrs. Henry Day, Mrs. Ella Campbell
and Mrs. Frank Gregory, Miss Laura
Morris and Miss Elizabeth Littell, Mrs.
Munson Doremus and Miss Eva Skinner,
Mrs. William Mead and Mrs. M. Millar,
Mrs. Marcus Ward and Mrs. Ray Hart.
OF course, the geptler sex prevailed, but
the masculine element was not lacking,
and all apparently thoroughly enjoyed the
affair.
The executive committee in charge of the
arrangements was headed by Mrs. William
p. Burnett and Miss Anna Davis, while
credit for the decorative effect should be
given the committee selected from mem
bers of the Christian Bndeavor Society,
and who were: Miss Katherine Ball,
