DRURY CONVICTED
MUST LOSE HIS
SALOON LICENSE
Jury Deliberates Long Before
Finding Him Guilty Under
the Bishops Act.
HAD BEEN FINED $3.50
FOR EARLIER VIOLATION
Denied Selling Liquor on Sum
I day, but Police Proved
Their Case.

Having been convicted under the
Bishops act of selling liquor on Sun.
day, John Drury, who was found guilty
by a jury in the Court of Quarter SEES
sions last night, will lose his license.
The penalty will be imposed upon him
March ., next, the regular sentence
day.
Drury's SALOON is at Ferry and Mott
streets and the allegation was that
Sunday, November "a last. the offense
was committed. He denied the charge,
through his counsel, John f. Cahill,
and it was claimed that he neither
bartered, sold nor gave away the com
bination of hops and malt known as
lager beer on Sunday.
Before the Bishops law became eff
fective Drury was convicted on a like
charge and fined $3.50.
Beer bottles and beer glasses found
in his place were the exhibits in the
case. Policemen Krasowski and Cruett,
of the Third Precinct, made the arrest
and 81 testified.
1t took the jury four hours to on
Wet Drury. as he not only strenuously
denied that he had violated the law,
but it was shown that the bottles and
glasses were found in the kitchen,
quite apart from the regular saloon
premises.

WH|TMORE, ANGRY,
TOLD HIS MURDER
TRIAL MUST WAIT
Case Against Suspected Harri-
son Swamp Wife slayer Is
Put OFF Until Summer.

Theodore A. Whitmore was incensed
and disappointed when he learned to-
day at his cell in the Hudson County
Jail in Jersey City that he would prob
ably not be placed on trial for the
murder of his wife Lena until the end
of the spring term of court.
The delay in the Whitmore trial is
caused by a congestion of the criminal
calendar. There are four murder cases
ahead of that of the alleged murderer
of the "Lampblack Swamp" victim in
Harrison.
II doubt whether Whitmore will be
placed on trial for two months or
more" said Assistant County Prosecutor
Vickers to an EVENING STAR re-
porter in Jersey City today.
-Four murder cases ahead of that of
Whitmore must be tried. The Whit
more trial will come in It's turn. The
prosecution has a strong case of cir
c~umstantial evidence against Whit
more, and the fight will be made by the
prosecution to convict him of murder
in the fiist degree.
1T is possible that Whitmore may not
be arraigned for trial before next May.
We will, of course, do everything pos
sible to expedite bringing his mans
case to a jury"
Whitmore has confidently looked for
ward to an EARLY trial, and when told
that he win have to wait for months
before his case goes to a jury aroused
him to a high pitch of excitement. His
attorney, Alexander Simpson, was in
Trenton today. At his offices in Jer-
sey City, it was stated that Mr.. Simp-
son had expected an early trial.

MORSE PLEADS
mot GUILTY.
FREED ON BAIL
Nagnate Associates of Ice Man
to Be Sued on Bank
Charge.
FRESH BANK CHARGES
INVOLVE CHARLES T. BARNEY
Former President of Knicker-
booker and Suicide Accused
of Financial Irregularities.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Charles w
Morse. the millionaire ice man. banker
and steamship company promoter. who
yesterday was indicted on a charge of
perjury, today entered a plea of not
guilty to the charge and was released
on $40, 900 bail.
The perjury Indictment grew out of
a loan of $4,000 to E. r. Thomas. con-
corning which Mr.. Morse was called
before the Grand Jury as a witness.
The directors of the National Bank
of North America when Morse was
vice-president are to be sued for $780,
900 by Receiver Charles A. Hanna.
These directors are William F. Have
meyer, John H. Flagler, Charles NJ.
Schwab, John w. Gates, Alfred H.
Curtis. Charles w. Morse. Mahlon D.
Thatcher, Robert M. Thompson.
1t is declared by an examiner of the
banks books that the honey was lost
in speculation in stock and securities
of the American Ice Company, and
that the speculations were made
through a dummy.
1t is said that the examiner found
that large sums of money were charged
to a certain individual, who was not
thought to be good for such amounts.
The man was questioned by Receiver
Hanna and he said that he was acting
for the officers of the bank.
The late Charles T. Barney, formerly
president of the Knickerbocker Trust
Company, was also a director when the
transactions under investigation were
carried on.
It is alleged the $25O.000 loss was in
speculations carried on through the
Stock Exchange firm of Primrose &
Braun, of 40 Exchange place. The
offices of the bank are in the same
building, and Mr.. Braun was formerly
secretary.
Mr.. Hanna had many conferences
with the directors of the bank since
the institution suspended, the purpose
being to arrange a settlement.
When Morse was vice-president and
of the bank Alfred II. Curtis
was president. After Morse was ousted
by the clearing house committee Mr..
Havemeyer was elected president of
the bank and Mr.. Curtis was made
vice-president. At the annual meeting
last month Mr.. Curtis was dropped.
