Under Law of 1906.
Especial to the Evening star.l

WOODBURY., March Accused of
Violating the laws of 1906 concerning
bribery at elections, B.. T. Hallock,
Preston Newcomb, Thomas Macarthur
and Joseph Macarthur, of Franklin
Township, Gloucester County, are to be
tried here on Wednesday. All are in
the faction of the Republican party
headed by Congressman Henry w.
Loudenslager. John Donnell, the COM
%plainant, and Prosecutor Alexander L..
Rogers, who will conduct the prose-
cntion, are members of the Watkins
wis faction.
More interest centres in this case
than any that has come up in the
Gloucester County courts for years. The
ahlleged bribery took place at the CUB
ernatorial election November 5. At this
election Thomas Macarthur was the
nominee for township committee. OPP
posed to Macarthur was Thomas 5.
Downs, a Democrat. A room In Malaga,
near the township polling place, had
been rented from William Headley as
the Macarthur headquarters.
Put Constable ON Guard.
This room was opened at $3.50 cleo
ton day morning, and according to the
Prosecutors allegations 1t speedily was
filed with men anxious to vote. MT.
Rogers had been told that there would
probably be bribery in the township,
and had placed David II. Atkinson, a
constable, on guard. At 1890 Atkinson
with John Donnell. raided the place and
arrested William Headley, the owner
One hundred half-pint bottles OF
whiskey are alleged to have been found
in the room in a box, and some of these
had been emptied.
At the February term, upon the tes-
timony OF Headley. Halloek, Newcomb
and the two McArthurs were indicted,
The Indictment contained four counts.
One alleges that whiskey was given to
Influence men to vote for Macarthur;
the second that the drink was given for
the purpose of Influencing the voters
from voting against him; the third, on
account of such voters having evoted
for him, and the fourth. IN account of
voters having refrained from voting
against him.
Prosecutor Rogers says this is the
first case under the new law of 1906.
The act under which the prosecution is
conducted says that ut shall be unlaw-
ful for any person, for the purpose OF
promoting and procuring at the cleo
lion of a candidate for public office to
use money or any other valuable thing
to provitie meat. drink, entertainment
Or provisions for the purpose of in
luencing any voter

has had any influence in the prosecu-
tion OF these members of his opposing
