ELIZABETH CHIEFS NEW
AUTO MAKES RECORD TRIP.
Six=Mile Run to Newark Is Cow
cred in Eight Minutes.

Like the proverbial blue streak, the
new automobile OF Fire Chief Gerstung,
of Elizabeth, swung into Broad street
shortly before IL o'clock today, having
made the trip from the heart of Eliza
beth to Newark, a distance of six
miles, in a little less than eight min
utes.
Awaiting the arrival of the fire chiefs
new auto were several of the Buick
management. When the machine, with
its powerful whistle screeching, pulled
up with a jerk in front of the Buick
headquarters in Halsey street there
was a great cheer.
The new auto, which has just been
sold for the use of the chief of the
Elizabeth fire department, left there at
1856. At the wheel was B. w. Craig,
of the Buick company. Beside him on
the sea- was Chief Gerstung. AS
watches were pulled and the second
hand pointed to the wen minute the
machine gave a bound n was 500
lost to view on its record trip to New
ark. When it struck the busy section
of Broad street it lodged dexterously
in and out, but generally it had a
clear road as the powerful whistle
screeched and the gong Changed.
The machine is of 80 horsepower, has
special equipment and is fitted with
electric lights. Late today an exhibit
ton of the new machine will be made
for the benefit of Chief Ashley, of the
local fire department.

GOVERNMENT ENDS
ITS CASE AGAINST
NINE. SIE|NHEl
Prosecution Closes as Widow
Again Threatens to Make
Startling Disclosures.

PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE state at !
o'clock this afternoon rested its case
against Madame Steinheil, accused ol
the murder of her husband. Adolphe
Steinheil, and her stepmother, Madame
Japy, and the defense at once began
the examination of its witnesses.
The popular opinion is that the prose
cution has not made out a case against
The prisoner. and that she will be ac-
quilted by the jury.
Just as the prosecution was closing
It's evidence the prisoner renewed the
implied threat she had several times
made to breach scandal that would IN
volve persons of high standing, but
again, as on the previous occasion,
Judge De Valles's invitation to proceed
with the revelations was met with
silence. Today in a flash of passion
she cried out: MY past contains In
~teresting chapters"
Judge de Wales, unmoved by the
interruption. promptly and sternly re-
piled: you are at perfect liberty to
say anything that you please"
Madame S%teinheil, however, went no
further, and the case of the govern
men was declared closed.
The first witness introduced by the
defense was a chauffeur, who testified
that Madame Steinheil gave him "a for
trying to locate the "blue automobile
which was reported to have been seen
in front of the Steinheil home in the
Impasse Ronsin at s o'clock on the
evening that the crime was committed,
This testimony was intended to show
that Madame Steinheil was anxious TO
discover the identity of the assassins.
Further Testimony for the defense
was given by M. Scheffer, an officer of
artillery, who twenty years g had
contemplated a marriage with Nine.
Steinheil; M. Paisant, an attorney, and
other friends of the Steinheil family.
All these emphasized their conviction
that the woman loved her husband n
stepmother, and was therefore inno-
cent.
Before the judge advocate began his
argument for the state, Judge de Wales
announced that he would raise later the
question of the prisoners completely in
the crimes as demonstrated in the evil
denee presented. This statement by
the president of the courtw as taken to
indicate his intention of abandoning
the original charge, which held Mime.
Steinheil a principal in the crime.
The accused woman appeared quite
exhausted physically as she took her
place in the courtroom today. h
listened listlessly to the testimony of
an uncle and al expert accountant,
who had been called to testify as to
the probable amour of money in the
Steinheil home the night of the muir
der. This had been a disputed point,
the state alleging that the painters
family We're in Strengthened circum-
stances and not likely to have in their
house sufficient cash to attract crimi-
nails whose real motive was robbery.
Madame Steinheil. on last Friday,
swore that $1,500 had been taken by
the murderers. Today her uncle and
the accountant testified that an exami-
nation of the books kept by the family
showed that there might have been
something over 5000 in the house on
the night of the tragedy. u

Everton, Who Is Fighting for
Release, Admits tie Knew
Simpson Was Dead.

Arthur Everton, the h~ypnetist whose
subject died Monday night as ne was
coming out of a cataleptio state, Is sun
a prisoner in the Jail at Somerville. Inc
amount of the bail was agreed upon
TODAY between Judge Schenck and
Prosecutor Roger as 81 00. 1t is under
stood Everton's friends are ready 10
produce bail, but as yet none nave
come forward.
In an interview Everton denied that
he lost his nerve when Robert Simp-
son. his subject, failed to regain con-
seriousness. He said he knew at once
the man was dead and had attempted
10 revive merely to satisfy the ply
stefan. He declared he would not ADAM
don hypnotism as a business
The body OF Simpson was brought 10
Newark yesterday by a local under
taker. The funeral will be held at the
home of Mrs. Guerin. 80 Camp street,
where he lived for fifteen years
It was believed bail would be fixed
for Everton at some amount ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000.
Prosecutor Roger said yesterday that
Everton would be held for the action
of the December grand jury, which con-
venes the 21st of next month, but that
he would not oppose an effort OF the
hypnotist's friends to have the man
released on bail II the amount was
large enough.
1t is the general sentiment in ome
vflie that Everton is not responsible for
simpsons death and cannot be in
dicted.
& PROFESSOR Pelham, a hypnotist, who
is showing in a rival theatre in Somer-
willie, demonstrated last night that
Simpson could not lave been killed by
men standing upon him by having three
men stand upon the chest of a sub
ject who was stretched rigid across
two chairs.

INDIAN SUMNER TO STAY,
SAYS WEATHER EXPERT.

The unusually fine weather which
the inhabitants of the Eastern States
have enjoyed during October and
in November, will, according to
Professor William Wiener, the local
weather expert, last today and tomor-
row and perhaps Saturday. Professor
Wiener also states that indications
point to even a higher temperature to-
morrow. Not for many years has such
mild weather been the portion of New
Jersey residents, and though he can
not so state positively, Professor
Wiener thinks that we may look for
ward to an indefinite run of fair, mild
weather.

SEEKS SUCCESSOR
TO THE REV. DAVID FRAZER.
Committee of Nine Has Hard
Task in Picking Pastor.

A committee of nine, representing the
official boards and the congregation OF
the First Presbyterian Church, is look
ing for a clergyman to- succeed the
Rev. DR.. David R. Frazer. retired. as
pastor of the old church, Sub-commit-
tees have gone to various cities to hear
ministers preach, but up to h present
the full committee has not agreed upon
a clergyman to recommend to the con-
gregation.
No candidate will be invited to preach
in the church, for If an invitation were
given there would be so many appli-
cants thai they could not all be heard
in a year, even if services were held
every second or third night a week,
it is said. So many ministers have al
ready been recommended to the COM
mittee by friends that one-half or
them cannot be considered.
The old First Church is in the first
rank of the Presbyterian churches OF
America. Few churches equal its his
tory, the record of it's pastors and
members for patriotism when this
country needed patriots, in its lnan-
cial contributions to home and for
eign missions or in Sunday school work.
The First Church is also a liberal sup
porter of weak churches in the Presby-
terry of Newark, in which body it is u
powerful factor.
Therefore, the man who shall be
called as pastor must needs be a man
of strong individuality, of great
executive ability and physical. mental
and spiritual strength, an officer of the
church said. He said also that the
Presbyterian church is thoroughly
democratic, that the officers of a church
cannot call a clergyman to be pastor,
but can only recommend a mar to the
congregation, the voting members Of
which decide upon the candidate to be
asked to fill the pulpit.

MEN ACCUSED AS
HORSE PRISONERS
CALLED TO TRIAL
Prosecutor Promises Strong Ev-
idence Against Gruber
and Harris.

The joint trial of Nathan Gruber and
Samuel Harris, charged with conspiracy
in poisoning horses belonging to Nathan
Zemel, a brother-in-law of Gruber, be-
gan before Judge Jay Ten Eyck, in
Quarter Sessions Court today. After
a vain effort by the defense to have
the six indictments on which Gruber
and Harris are held combined in one,
the jury was drawn. 1t took some lit
tie time for both sides to agree in fill
ing the box.
Assistant Prosecutor Thomas L.. Ray
mond has charge of the case for the
State, while Gruber and Harris are rep
resented by Frank McDermit. Harris
has been in Jail since his arrest last
September.
In his opening address Mr.. Raymond
told the jury that the case would large
ly have to be decided on circumstan-
tial evidence, but that he expected to
present facts so strong that the de-
Tense could not controvert them. He
declared that Gruber and Zemel had
Deer on bad terms for some time. A
year g Zemel collected $500 from
Gruber on a Judgment and from that
time on there was trouble between
these two men. he added.
Raymond then went on to tell of how
three weeks before the Zemel horses
were poisoned Gruber had caused a
floor plan of zemel's house to be made,
alleging that he was running a coun-
terfeiting plant in his home. lnvesti-
cation by police is said to have proved
the allegation false.
Nathan Zemel, the prosecuting wit
ness, was called to the chair and told
of Harris, the man accused OF doing
the actual poisoning, coming to his
place on September ~ and asking for a
job. zemel told him he had none just
then, but to call later.
Attorney McDermit started in mme-
diately on his fight to clear his clients
and contested every bit of the testi-
mony offered. From early indications
it will take the rest of the week to
try the case.
Following Semel on the stand his
son, Abraham, who has charge of the
barns and yards in Vincent street, told
the jury how the charcoal business of
his father is conducted, and also how
many of the Employees had been al
lowed to sleep in the barns at different
times.
Other witnesses were John Kraus and
Lyons, of the New Jersey Rem
dering Company, who performed post
mortems on the six poisoned horses.
They added little to the case except
the fact that the stomachs of the
horses had been saved and turned over
to the police for analysis. Captain P.
j. Christy and Acting Detective Frank
Brex, of the Third Precinct, were also
on the stand before noon. ssss
At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion Herbert Baldwin the chemist, who
made an analysis of the contents of the
horses stomachs, tool the stand and
was subjected to a hot fire of questions
by Lawyer McDermit, when re gave as
his opinion that all six horses had been
poisoned.
The case is exciting additional inter-
est just now in the light of the discov-
cry that there is an organized gang on
the East Side in New York which has
poisoned the horses of men who re-
fused to give them money.
