INSANE
OR SWINDLER?
Man With New Goods for Sale Is
Arrested

A man giving his name as E. Lee
Burdick. and whom Sheriff Bailey
and his deputies believe to be the
tool Of shrewd gang OF burglars.
was arrested yesterday by ofIicer
Steele, Of the police department, and
turned over to the sheriff. Burdick
had ii his possession when found a
box OF merchandise, the contents OF
which he had endeavored to dispose
OF to the Norquist department store,
and failing here he took them to the
secondhand store on Fourth street,
where he had them stored away while
endeavoring to dispose OF them to
some one else. The contents consist
Of ladies dresses, underwear. night
robes, hose and numerous other arti-
cles Of wearing apparel, and Is of the
value Of perhaps 500. and that they
were stolen from some store In Wen
del, Idaho, from which place they
were shipped to Burdick, or from
some other town In this section. and
sent to him for the purpose OF dis
posing Of them, is the opinion Of the
officers.
Claims He Has Been swindled.
Burdiek claims that he is the victim
OF swindlers who reside at Wendell
Idaho. According to his story to the
sheriff and his deputies he was
treated by two parties at Wendell for
a nervous trouble, and gave them IA
consideration OF II 500. A part Of
the treatment, according to the story
was that hts mind should be occupied
and accordingly he was persuaded Ii
go into business, and purchased these
goods from them for the sum of 1900
and was directed to proceed to THU
place and sell them. He also tells &
story OF depraylties In which he and
his companions INDUCED, and his
story as a whole Indicates that he II i
either insane or Is playing the part ii
a most clever manner The officers
are inclined to believe that Il is tbs
former. and that realizing his veal
mental condition, clever crooks have
made use OF him as their tool. Some
time ago he called on Sheriff Bailey
early in the morning and stated Il
him that he had been swlndled out o.
5000 in a land deal. but he was un
able at the time to give him any
data upon which to work. and the
sheriff did not see him again until b,
was turned over to him by 0flcei
Steele. The officers are making
thorough investigation of the case.

be a Feature of Service.

An important meeting took place
in New York yesterday at the office
of the Traction Developmen ent Com
pany, 81 Pine street, whereby the
directors elected the officers of the
company and general plans were
formed for the construction of the
new line from Elizabeth to Linden,
Railway, Carteret, Chrome, Port

this city.
The directors of the company are
Richard F. Pettigrew, former United
States senator, and president of the

''The principal routes have already
been selected" said one of the m en-
interested in the project today, "and
many important property consents
have been secured but these may be
somewhat varied by the engineers
who are to take up their part of the
work at once.
1.-THE new line will terminate at
a convenient point near the main
railroad stations in Elizabeth, and
may connect with the new line OF
the Morris County Traction Com
pany.
''The route of the new line from
Elizabeth toward Railway and Car.
teret will be through Washington
avenue, Elizabeth and then either
straight out the Edgar road or down
Bayway to Brunswick avenue and SO
on through the new Standard Oil
works to a point where the new troll
ley tracks can be laid on the graded
rOadbed of the short line trolley
direct to Carteret with direct line
to Linden and Railway.
Another line is proposed to run
from Elizabethport to the court
house in Elizabeth and out Railway
avenue to Wheatsheaf or even as far
as Linden, both lines connecting at
the court house in Elizabeth.
GAS a number Of prominent mer-
chants are interested in the enter
prise, and as the greatest success of
the com pany and early construction
of this road depends on the public
goodwill and cooperation, every one
should give their earnest support.
Charles A. Trimble and Abe j.
David, of Elizabeth, are spoken of as
counsel to represent the company In
that city and vicinity, and as soon as
sufficient number Of property con-
sents are secured to comply with the
law application will be made for the
company's franchise there.
"A direct connection will be made
from Port Reading to Sewaren in
order to carry the traffic of the pres
ent Public Service line over the
State street route in Perth Amboy
and Boynton Beach to Port Reading
Chrome and Carteret direct, instead
of going around by the way oi
Woodbridge"

pany on rights of way, consents and

| LEAPED TO THE GROUND
Knocked Bub Ward Aside in
His Flight to Avoid Ar
rest This Morning.
OFFICER HAD WARRANT
Italian Was Wanted on
Charges Of AssauIting Ioe
Marafino--Old Offender.

City Marshal William Walters got
tip this morning that Tony Mara
fino, for whom Recorder Pickersgill
issued a warrant few days ago on
a charge of assaulting Joseph Mara
fino, was at the home Of his wife on
the third floor of the old tea house
in Front street.
As Marafino was sent to jail some
time ago on a charge preferred by
his wife and in view Of the fact that
she was at court few days ago
denying that she had asked County
husbands release, the city marshal
did not think that his man was there
but decided to investigate. anyway.
The marshal, with the warrant In
his pocket, took "Bub" Ward into
the building with him and told him
to keep watch on the second floor
while he went to the third. AS the
marshal reached the top landing, to
his surprise he saw Marafino In the
kitchen. At the same instant Mara
flno saw the marshal and, like q
frightened deer. Jumped through q
hall window and down the stairs to
the second floor. "Bub" Ward tried
to stop him, but Marafino hurled him
aside and jumped to the ground
floor at the risk of his neck and fed
to the street.
Walters and Ward tried to follow,
but Maraflno was fleet OF foot and
was out of sight before they had
reached the street. Marshal Walters
says he never dreamed that Marafino
was such a coward and says that II
| is wonder that he was not badly
hurt by his jump from the second te
the ground floor.
Some time ago, on complaint o.
Mrs. Maraflno, Tony was sent to the
county jail to await the action of the
grand jury. County Detective Hoff
man recently told Recorder Pickers
gill that his wife had been botherinf
him considerably to secure his re
lease, so the recorder ordered 1t. A
few days after Tony got out of jai
| Mrs. Marafino came to the police
court and told the recorder that hel
husband was bothering her agair
and that she wanted him locked up
When told that she had been the
cause of his release she denied Il
and said she wanted nothing to de-
with him. This caused the police te
believe that Tony had secured &
woman to impersonate his wife te
Detective Hoffman, and later another
warrant was issued for him.
The city marshal says that he was
told that Maraf1no was at his home
in the tea house all last night.
Marshal Walters has broken al
records recently in regard to escap
ing prisoners.

MR.. WALTERS
ON STREET

Eugene Porter, thirty years old,
of sos State street, was arrested by
Patrolman Andrew Jensen at $50
o'clock this afternoon in the act Of
assaulting City Marshal William
Walters, at the southeast corner of
Smith and High streets.
He was taken to the police station
and locked up after Mr.. Walters had
preferred a charge of assault and
battery against him. Porter sent at
once for a bondsman.
According to Mr.. Walters, he was
in the Office of the Packer House
shortly before / o'clock conversing
with friend when Porter entered
into the conversation. Walters says
he told Porter to go away as he did
not care to talk to him. The city
marshal says he then left the Office
and walked across the street on his
way to a funeral. AS he reached
Pierce & Watson's corner he heard
Porter call to him to wait q minute
Walters says he told Porter that he
didn't want to talk to him and to
let the matter drop.
Then, according to witnesses,
Porter struck the marshal on the
nose with terrific blow of his fist,
which caused the latter to partly
fall. Porter followed the first blow
with several others on the marshal s
face, bruising him severely. The
assault, Mr.. Walters says, was so un-
expected that he was unable to de-
fend himself from the first blows.
Patrolman Andrew Jensen got off
a trolley car at the corner just in
time to see Porter hit Walters in the
face and running to the pair, placed
Porter under arrest. The city mar
shal washed UP in the toilet room of
the police station.
On account of going to the funeral
the marshal did not have his revol-
yer with him, but he says. If he had,
he would have shot Porter. Mr..
Walters intends to press the charge
as he says he did nothing TO Porter
to cause him to assault him.
