SENTENCE
EDWARD M. DUFFY CLOSES UP
VOLUNTARILY BUT is PlNCHED
GUILTY IN COURT.

Edward NJ. Duffy, who formerly
kept saloon at No. 1904 West JEFF
ferson-ave.. was fined $500 with the
alternative of 60 days In the works"
by Judge Phelan, Wednesday, on his
plea OF guilty 10 a charge of selling
liquor without a license. The circum-
stances OF the case are rather pa
thetic.
Duffy opened the place last January
under the old license. When May
came he could not scrape the money
together to get another. He expected
to get the money from a friend, how
ever, but June had almost passed when
he learned that this would be impos-
sible. Business was running behind
and Duffy closed up OF his own accord.
After he had closed. the police, not
withstanding that they had allowed
him to keep running without protest
for-tMa-T months, -eefnpiatre against
him for selling liquor without IL
cense. There was nothing for him TO
do but plead guilty and Judge Phelan,
similarly, was obliged to punish him.
Duffy, who Is a clean-cut man or re-
spectacle appearance, cried like a
child when he stood before the court
and pleaded for leniency on behalf Of
his wife and two children. Judge
Phelan allowed him To return home
and see his family and took his word
that he would appear Thursday morn
ing ready to pay the fine or go to the
works"

DISMISSAL
INVESTIGATION CLEARS MCKAY
OF RESPONSIBILITY IN CHANGE
IN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OF.
FIcE.

Just how j. Edward Bland came to
shift In and out OF the senatorial race
in the Third district and 10 finally
land the position as assistant district
attorney has come out as the result Of
investigation by friends OF James V.
ID. Wilcox, the assistant, who was
dropped after 10 years OF service. dur
ing which time no complaint had been
made OF his work.
Enemies OF John ID. MacKay, candl-
date for senator from the same dis
trict, have asserted that MacKay was
responsible for Willcox's dismissal
and BANDS appointment.
That this is not true, Wilcox is
convinced. IL Is now asserted that
Bland gets his position as result OF
bis having turned TO VIM. Alden
Smith at a critical time just previ-
Gus TO the selection OF United States
senator In 1907. Bland was to have
been taken care OF In the internal
revenue Office under Malcolm J. Nc
Leod, but this did not go through.
Then arrangements were made by
which Bland was TO become assistant
prosecutor In case OF the election OF
a certain Republican candidate. This
did not look too sure. however. and
Bland had almost decided TO run
for the state senate again when the
prospect OF an appointment In the dis
trict attorneys Office came up.
Then Bland withdrew and George
Lord entered 70 run against Mackay
for the Republican nomination. A
hitch developed with regard to the
appointment OF Bland and he entered
the race for senator TO be on the safe
side.
When MacKay heard that he was
accused OF having plotted against his
lifelong friend Wilcox, he went TO
the latter and asked that an invesi
CATION be made OF the facts. This
was made and Willcox's friends acQuit
MacKay OF all responsibility and It Is
probable that those who live in his
district will support him.
II develops that some OF the gov
eminent inspectors who desired 20
make prosecutions OF all complaints
turned in BY them. for the sake OF a
record, have long been knocking
Wilcox. He had absolutely refused
to prosecute In cases where he
thought the inspectors did not make
out a coed case and often recommend
ed leniency in court when first Of
tenders pleaded guilty 10 charges.

AS SLAYER Of

SUSPECT CAUGHT ONLY AFTER
WILD CHASE THROUGH TENDER.
LoIN DISTRICT OF ATLANTIC
cITY-MAY SOLVE MYSTERY.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. Sept. I'm
a wild chase through the "tenderloin"
section, early today, the police caught
man suspected OF the shooting OF
Charles Boyle Roberts. the Baltimore
millionaire. and society man. who was
attacked as he rode In wheel chair
with Mrs. w. S. G.. Williams in lone
~ section OF the board walk.
The capture OF this man is expected
to solve the great board walk mystery.
The police are silent concerning his
identity. nor will Chief Woodruff ad-
nit that the chase was connected with
the Roberts case. One OF his detec-
tives let the secret out inadvertent-
ly.
infatuated With. Woman.
1t is said that this man who moved
in the same walk of life with Mr..
Roberts and Mrs. Williams. was sim.
ply infatuated by the great beauty OF
the Baltimore society woman with
whom he had but slight acquaint-
ance and that he timed his effort to
Kill Mr. Roberts with the return to
this country Of Mr.. Williams. SO as 20
direct suspicion away from himself
One OF the strange moves OF the
police WAS the attempt TO close up the
case 10 the public. All newspaper cor
respondents who have been doing ac-
tive work on the case were called TO
Chief Woodrun's office and told that
enough publicity had been given to
the case and that II was time for
them 10 leave as no more news would

they would be asked TO leave town II
they continued TO send out the news
OF the developments In the mystery.
Business Men "But In"
Hotel proprietors and business men
have brought pressure TO bear on the
chief of police on account of the wide
publicity which has followed the cpl
sode, as they believe II has given the
town unwelcome notoriety and he be-
leved that he could best serve his
own interests by attempting TO censor
the news. II did not take him long
