He was to have gone to work the next

nearby house as he was brushed from

another car coming in the opposite di-

the wheels she rushed to his home and

ELECTION CASES
THROWN OUT ON
MOTIFS MOTION
Indictments Found Through For
mer Sheriff Sommer's Efforts
Ordered to Be Quashed.

Upon motion of Prosecutor Mott,
made before Judge Ten Eyck In the
Court of Quarter Sessions today the
old election indictments of 1908, that
had been carried to the Supreme Court
and found defective, were finally or
dered quashed. They include the in
dictments found against several police
officials, as the result of Sheriff Som
mer's activities.
Mr. Mott said to the court:
MANY indictments returned in the
election cases were taken to the Su-
preme Court one of each class. that
certain frauds were committed at the
primaries. and the Supreme Court set
them aside on the ground that the in
6ictmentS did not contain an allegation
that the political party referred to had
polled per cent. of the vote. As there
can be no possible use in keeping these
indictments on the records because they
were defective, | move that they be
quashed on the authority of the SUI
preme Court"
