M|L|T|AMEN ARE
PUT ON GRILL IN
SUBSTITUTION CASE
Major Parker Examines Mem
bers of Company M, First
Regiment.

All of the members of Company M,
First Regiment. We're individually eX'
amined last night by Major Cortland'
Parker as to what they knew about
green men being substituted for the
regular members of the company on
the night OF the annual inspection of
the regiment. The allegations are thai
the company was recruited by nom
members.
The proceedings last night We're Sc
unusual that the members of the com-
pany are indignant. The first that the
men of the company knew of the in
vestigation was when they were in
formed while at drill by Captain
Charles j.. Allen that Major Parker
desired to see each of them at his
room.
When they went there they found
the doors of the room guarded by men,
bers of other companies.
Among the questions asked of them
by Major Parker were; WAS Corporal
Mccarthy present on the night of the
inspection ?" where did he stand?'
Where did you stand?" What squad
were 0 in 2" What did the inspector
general look like?"
Major Parker denies that any at
tempt was made to subject the men to
a third degree"
The investigation was the outcome
of the charges preferred against Cap
tain Allen. Corporal Mccarthy was to
been examined last night, but his
case was postponed until Monday
night.

Mrs. Frances J.. Ridley, the wealthy
Atlanta, Ga. woman who was arrested
Thursday as she alighted from a Penn
~sylvania train here, and was charged
with the theft of a 5000 diamond ring
belonging to Mrs. Andrew Albright, jr.,

fered. Mrs. Ridley is out on IS. 900 bali
pending investigation by the grand
jury.
Charles Lunl. of the firm of Guild,
Lum & Tamblyn, who is representing
the woman's family in the case, said
today:
This whole thing is a horrible mis-
take. You have only to see Mrs. Ridley
to know that. She does not care for
the damages she might recover. She
wants vindication. Her friends. OF
course, do not believe a word against
her, but the publicity she has received
through this occurrence has brought
her name before the people h does
not know and who do not know her
1t is on that account that she wishes
to have matter set right.
1.-THE claim that she concealed the
handbag is ridiculous. 1t hung there
by the side of her berth all night and

it and talked about it. Mrs. Ridley

DOUBLE TALKS OF
SURGERY STRIDES
DIR. Campbell Thinks They Have
Outstripped the Advance
in Medicine.

Medicine has made great progress
during the past fifty years. but its
advancement annot be compared to
the field of surgery, which has rivaled
the progressive strides Of electricity,
wireless telegraphs and the dawn OF
the airship.''
This was the view expressed today by
one of the best living doubles of Mark
Twain, Dr. James p. Campbell. a re-
tired local physician. and for many
years a surgeon attached to the Gu
nard Steamship line, now convalescing
from a severe illness in his home. l0y
Court street.
DIR. Campbell, despite the fact that
August Is next will annal his seventy
sixth year, is well preserved and keen.
Dir. Campbell was born in England.
and his father, James Conner Camp
bell, was a noted English brewer.
When Queen Victoria was crowned his
father took him to London to witness
the coronation ceremonies.
At the age of Il young Campbell
sailed for this country, and arrived in
New York on September Is, 1861. the
day that Jenny Lind was rendered her
great reception, in Castle Garden.
He became a student at the Syracuse
Medical College, New York, and was
graduated on February %, 1854. He
hung his single out in Williamsburg.
The following year he was appointed
a surgeon on the. Cunard royal mail
steamship Karwak, and when the first
gun was fired at Fort Sumter the yes
sci lay at anchor at the port of Ha-
vana.
Dr.. Campbell vas a warm friend OF
former President Franklin Pierce. He
am to this city in 1902, having re-
tired from practise.
He has the characteristic Mark

Set at Liberty by Judge Ten

Following a conference held yester-
day between representatives of the
Prosecutors office, the Fourth Pre-.
clnct and the detective bureau. and a
conference held later in the day be-
tween the Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Connor.
Captain Carroll and Judge Herr. it was
expected that new developments would
occur today in the mystery surround
ing the murder Of FatherAnsion. These
conferences were held as the result of
information given put by the Rev. An
ton Rudnicki, a former Newark priest
who intimated that in a confession
a to him, the names of the Father
Ansion's murderers had been disclosed.
Rather Rudnicki is alleged to have
made the following statement to the
police: IF l could but speak, l would be
able to solve the mystery of Father
Ansfon's death. I could name the men
who urder him as easily as | can
open my hand, but I dare NOT.
Josephine knows. that she confessed 10
me. Let her tell. My lips are sealed.
Father Ansion must be killed. is what
Josephine said to me many times out
side of the confessional. / chided her
many times for talking in that man
ner, and h retorted by calling me a
free thinker"
Little or no credence is placed in this
statement by Captain Carroll and other
police officials interested in the case.
The men from the detective bureau con-
tinue to work along the theory that the
murder was committed by three men
who had a grievance against the priest
before he came to Newark, and that
the troubles which beset him since his
arrival in Newark had no bearing
Whatever on the commission of the
crime.
Six Released.
SIX more of the men jailed in con
nection with the murder were allowed
to go on $1,000 bail each today by Judge
Ten Eyck in the Court of Oyer and
Terminer. pending the action of the
grand jury in the matter. Five were
bailed several days ago.
Those allowed to go today were Jacob
Rekucki. John Pitrowski, Joseph B'al-
korki, Stanislaus Rokicki, John Cru
decki and Anton Rudnicki.

the predecessor of the Slav priest IN

the first name while friends Of the
others made good for them. The formal
