Lawyer Peterson Receives a Call
Down From Recorder PiCkersgi||
in the Cems-Eucher Hearing.
CASE VS.. EUCHER DISMISSED
Counsel For Germs Expressed 0pin-
ion That the Recorder Wished
TO Hide the Truth.

When Peter A. Peterson, attorney
Tor George Germs and wife, who we're
In court this morning on charge
made against Mrs. Germs by Mrs.
Herman Eucher, and on complaint
made by Germs against Eucher, said
to the recorder, H. e. Pickersgill,
that he did not believe the recorder
wanted to hear the truth in the case,
The lawyer received severe repri-
nand.
Mrs. Germs was in court on a
:harge made by Mrs. Eucher that, on
Saturday afternoon, while Mrs.
Eucher was walking on the street,
she had been horsewhipped by Mrs.
Germs. Lawyer Colyer, who repre-
sented the Euchers, was present, but
Lawyer Peterson had not yet ar
rived. Mrs. Germs admitted that she
had whipped the complainant. The
recorder placed Mrs. Germs under
$500 bonds to keep the peace, and
she promised to furnish bail tomor-
row morning.
The case of Mr.. Germs against
Eucher was then called, and Germs
told the same story as he told a
NEWS reporter yesterday, and, as he
was finishing his testimony, Lawyer
Peterson arrived. Lawyer Colyer
cross-examined the complainant, and
Eucher was then called. Eucher said
he had been called from his house to
saloon and Germs had attacked his
wife. His story was the same as
given in the NEWS yesterday.
Lawyer Peterson then commenced
to cross-examine, and he insisted on
questioning Eucher as to whether the
saloon to which he was called was
above or below the street where he
lived. Lawyer Colyer hardly thought
that this made any difference, but
Mr.. Peterson said he wanted to prove
the truth which, he claimed, was that
Eucher had gone armed to the saloon
with the avowed intention of trouble,
and that he had been followed by his
wife and son, also armed.

LID WILL BE
SCREWED DOWN
TIGHT SUNDAY

Chief Burke issued orders today
that the excise law, commencing with
Sunday, must be strictly enforced in
all cases, and the patrolmen were
notified to tell all saloonkeepers,
hotel men and others that if they try
to keep open, they will cause trouble.
This order is in accordance with the
letter sent to Chief Burke by Mayor
Bolschweiler, yesterday, as told in
the NEWS. Both Mayor Boil
schweiler and Chief Burke say that
The law includes clubs which have
rooms over saloons.
The chief said that charges would
be made against any person who vio-
lated the law. He will prosecute un-
der the Bishops law, instead of put
ting the case up to the recorder and
having the prisoner fined $40, will
no longer go, but the case VIII be sent
to the grand jury.
In speaking about shops which
keep open on Sundays, the chief said
that he was also going to get after
the proprietors of such places.
A number of saloon men when seen
by a NEWS reporter did not say out
right that they would keep open, but
they laughed at the idea of trying to
keep the lid down" in Perth Amboy,
and some of them said that the law
could not touch Clubs" The man
ager of one of these Clubs" it is
said, has given the members keys.

STABBED BY
UNKNOWN MAN
IN DARKNESS

Charles Connors, about sixty years
old, who is one of the regular night
lodgers at the lookup, is at the city
hospital with deep cut in his head
where he was wounded with knife
last night shortly before 9 o'clock by
an unknown man while walking
along the Central railroad tracks
near the G. w. tower.
About o'clock Leonard Zaremba
who keeps saloon on Inslee street,
phoned police headquarters and said
that Connors had come into his place
covered with blood. Chief Burke de-
tailed Patrolman McDermott to take
the city ambulance and go to the sa-
loon. The chief also notified City
Physician M. S. Meinzer, who went
along.
Connors was taken to the city hos
pital, where several stitches were
taken.
Connors told McDermott that he
was walking along the railroad track
when an unseen person stabbed him
with knife. He had not been drink
ing and his money was found In his

'LEH|GH VALLEY
RAILROAD CUTS
WEEK SHORTER
Forty Hours Here and Thirty.TWo
at Easton is the New
Order.
ALL NEW WORK IS SUSPENDED

The Lehigh Valley railroad COM
pany has made another move to cur
tail expenses, while work is slack.
Notices have been posted here and
elsewhere stating that the working
hours of section men and those work
ing In the car shops have been cut
from forty-eight to forty hours a
week. BY this schedule, the men
work eight hours each weekday, with
the exception of Saturday.
In Easton, Pa. notices were posted
a week ago, reducing the working
hours of such men to forty hours a
week, and yesterday new notice was
placed, making the week still shorter,
or only thirty-two hours, making only
four eight-hour days a week or
5 1-3 hours each day throughout the
week.
The company has also suspended
operations on new work. Where
new rails are being laid the work has
been stopped. This affects the siding
being laid to the American Smelling
& Refining plant, and numerous
smaller ones in the city.

The recorder said that, considering
the circumstances of the case, he
thought Eucher had a right to &c
prepared to defend himself and that
the recorder did not believe that II
Eucher knew that Germs was at the
saloon, he would have gone near the
place at all. Again Germs counsel
insisted that this was the way tc
cross-examine and insisted on know.
ing the exact whereabouts of the
street where the alleged assault was
committed.
Peterson shrugged his shoulders
and said he guessed the court did not
want to hear the truth in the matter
and wanted to keep it out of the case
AS the lawyer made this remark
Recorder Pickersgill, pointing bis
finger at him, said that he at no time
tried to keep the truth out of any
case and, in all his fifteen years on
the bench, Peterson was the first
lawyer to ever accuse him of such 9
thing, and that this was not the first
time Peterson had done 1t, and he
would not stand for it. The lawyer
was somewhat surprised, apparently
by the courts rebuke, for he agar
shrugged his shoulders and made
some mumbling remark and started
to walk away.
The case was then resumed ani
the recorder said that he was of the
opinion that the matter between the
Eucher and Germs families should be
settled at once. He hardly thought
it necessary that 1t be taken before
the grand jury, and Mr.. Colyel
agreed with him.
The recorder said that no matter
what the relations between the two
families had been heretofore, that
they should now cease, and that II
the woman In the case wanted the
matter to drop, the man should lei
1t go at that. Here Lawyer Peterson
said he would like to say something
but he was promptly silenced by the
recorder, who said he did not wan
to hear him.
