POLL FRAUDS UNPUBLISHED.
Paterson Evidence Destroyed and Grand
Jury Powerless to Take Action.

PATTERSON. Feb. 1.-The presence
of four members of the Grand Jury
in the court house yesterday CAV rise
to speculation of all sorts, especially
after they entered an ante-room of the
Special Sessions Court which was then
in session and Sent word to Judge
Francis Scott that they were anxious
to confer with him about the Tenth
Ward election frauds and the advisa.
bility of indicting the poolrooms.
The entire situation was explained
to Judge Scott by the committee.
Prosecutor Emley acknowledged that
all election fraud evidence had been
destroyed, as far as he knew. The
court. it is understood, sympathized
with the jurors and admitted that they
had done all hat lay within their
power. to follow instructions. 1t would
seem now that the Tenth Ward cleo
ton bugaboo is a thing of the past.

GRIEVE OVER
THEIR GIRLS
ELOPEMENT
Maud Tappan'S Embroidery
on Dining Room Table
Left Untouched.

Silently weeping by the side Of a table
on which lay the remainder of some en-
broidery worked by her little girl" Mrs.
Eugene Tappan, OF 20 Patterson street. Or
ange, awaits further tidings of her daugh-
ter, Maude, who is supposed to be on the
high seas en- route to South America with
Ralph Snlter, an electrician, of South Or
ange, who disappeared last week.
The heartbroken mother of the 19-year-
old girl, who is said to have left a pretty
home and good parents for n married man,
refuses to allow the embroidery, threaded
needle and silken spool, which her daughter
used, to be touched, and the dining table
on which they lay has been discontinued
for daily use at Mrs. Tappan's request, the
meals being served to the heartbroken pa
rents In another room of the house.
Any doubts of the whereabouts of the
young couple we've set at rest when Salter
sent a letter to Mr.. Tappan, which he
started with the words Friend Gene" The
missive is a startling one, so far as frank
ness of speech by the eloper Is concerned.
and he repeatedly speaks OF the ardent love
the couple bear for one another. He is on
his way to South America, Salter States,
with Miss Tappan, and figures ON getting
lucrative employment in the tropical coun-
try, and states he will wed his companion
when he shall have become legally divorced
from his lawful wife.
Protesting that he has acted rightly In
his desertion of his Lawful wife and 2-year-
old baby for his latest affection, Saiter
wrote the following words in his missive:
W. feel that we nave done perfectly
right. | consulted my lawyer about the
matter, and he said 1t is no crime, bur a
clear case of pure love-
Salter tried to condune his offense to the
Tappans by declaring he had left his wife
his property valued at $500 and 500 in cash,
and wrote to Mr.. Tappan that he wonld
leave his action to a man of reasoning
ability TO judge the action as being fair
and square"
His letter Is a lengthy one, and contains
the argument that his intense love for
Maud overrides all other considerations,
and he assures the family their daughter
will be well cared for and that her legal
marriage will speedily follow the release
of the man from his present marital bonds.
Salter's nformatio also includes the
fact that he and Miss Tappan continually
correspondent during the time she was out
of his employ. The parents, to break up
the apparent attachment, removed from
South Orange to Orange, and despite their
endeavors to avoid the unfortunate eli
max, the young people planned their elope-
ment, according to Salter. Salter Is %
years old. His wife is now living with her
parents in Maplewood.
