PATERSON. Feb. 1S.-Through a
combination Of the statute of limita-
tons and the divorce courts. Edward
Allen. a silk weaver, living In the Lake
view section of Paterson, who has been
married three times, and whose three
wives are still living, was set at liberty
today by Judge Francis Scott, in the
Court of Quarter Sessions, where he had
been arraigned on the charge of big
amy. He was indicted at the Septem-
Der term of the grand jury.
Aliens novel and successful plea was
that he married Miss Clara Baylock, OF
Passaic, in 1902, and hat after a stormy
life of two years duration they sepa-
rated. In 1904 Allen met Miss Annie
Weible, another Passaic girl, and they
We're married after q short courtship:
When she discovered that Allen al
ready had a wife she left him, and Mrs.
Allen Nc. 3, in the person of Miss Sadie
McKeown, of Paterson, was the next
woman to share his lot. When Miss
Mckeown learned that her husband
already had two wives and that they
were o in the land OF the living,
she reported the matter to the police,
with the intention Of nipping Aliens
matrimonial career before it reached
any greater dimensions.
Aliens contention was that the Sec
end marriage was null and void, be
cause he had Their a wife living, and
that the third marriage was legal, be-
cause his first wife had before his last
marriage procured a divorce from him.

ATTORNEY FOR THE
B. AND |. TRUSTEES
PUT ON The STAND
Especial to the Evening STAR

CAMDEN, Feb. 1S.-The grand jury
resumed its sessions this morning by
questioning men supposed to know
about some of the land deals of the
State Mutual Association.
Harvey #. Carr, counsel for the
trustees of the association, explained
this morning their negotiations with
the Assets Realization Company,
which offered to take over all the as
sets of the defunct Camden concern and
pay the stockholders fifty-three cents
on the dollar.
He denies that the trustees were
offered any bonus or rake-off for the
deal, and declares that the whole mat
ter was about to be submitted to the
stockholders and to the court when the
trusteeship was ended and the re
ceivers appointed.
Because of information said to have
been given to the grand jury by Ralph
&c. Lunn, of Newark, who represents
about seventy-hve complaining share
holders. 1t is possible the trustees may
be questioned concerning a report that
they were offered so per cent. on the
ASHStS VI Lit dSSOCldllOIlI Will ]l0, WV
for each trustee as expenses.
For more than two hours today Ed
ward Maurer, as examiner in the Of
fee of David Q. Watkins, State COM
missioner of banking of New Jersey.
was Intercepted by the grand jury.
1t has been asserted hal many times
reports recommending that the affairs
of the State Mutual be liquidated were
made by examiners to the State COM
missioner of banking, but that no at
tentfon was given to them.
II is understood that Mr.. MaureI
went into the reports in detail and that
comparisons of the reports with the
books of the Mutual were made.
1t was reported in Camden this after
noon that a former official of the State
Mutual Building and Loan Association
had been ordered by the receivers of the
concern to turn over 5000 by 8
o'clock this afternoon.
George Z. Bergen, one of the receiv-
ers, and Harvey f. Carr, counsel for the
trustees, refused to discuss the report.
A former high official of the Mutual
said he would issue a statement later.

WASN'T INVITED TO
CHRISTENING, HE FIGHTS.

Michael F'lozt, of 246 Ferry street,
was in bad humor on Tuesday. He was
aggrieved because he was not invited
to attend the christening of the little
son of John Mikal, of 81 Jackson
street.
Mikal tried to make amends for hav.
ing forgotten him and asked him to
partake of the line n join in the
festivities. This was done,A but the
idea of not having received a written
invitation bothered Flozt so much that
he was soon in an argument with his
host. A fist fight followed.
>Plainclothesman Frank Brex locked
them both up. When the case was
tried before Judge Simon Hahn in the
Third Precinct Police Court this morn-
ing they were each fined SO for dis-
orderly conduct.

EXTRAD|T|ON TO
Be FOUGHT BY
WORLD EDITORS
Indicted New York Newspaper
Men1in Consultation with
Attorneys.

NEW YORK, Feb 1s.-That the New
York World, its proprietor, Joseph Pull
itzer, Caleb NJ. Van Hamm and Robert
II. Lyman, two of its editors, will fight
extraditlon proceedings to compel them
to go to Washington to answer the Fed
eral grand jurY's Indictments in con-
nection with alleged libel concerning
the purchase IF the Panama canal, was
disclosed today.
When news of the Ave indictments
reached here several conferences took
place between the editors of the World
and their counsel, De Lancey Nicoll
and John NJ. Bowers.
Mr.. Pulitzer has been cruising in
Southern waters on his yacht, the Lib
erty, but is expected to reach this city
some time today to take an active part
in the matter.
Lawyers for the Press Publishing
Company VIII contest the right of the
Federal authorities to take the indicted
men to Washington for trial.
Warrants will be served on Mr..
Pulitzer and others named as socn as
they can be reached. The trial will be
set for the April term of court in
Washington. the penalty being 81, 900
fine, or Imprisonment not to exceed five
years, or both.
A certified copy of each indictment.
accompanied by a bench warrant, was
rushed to New York and a hearing will
be held before United States Commits
sioner John R. Shields.
Regarding the findings Of the grand
jury the New York World today says:

brought, in however many distinct and
Jurisdictions against the
World or against Mr.. Pulitzer or against
editors of the World, he will not intimidate
this newspaper or swerve 1t In the slightest
degree from the performance Of its public
duty.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is an episode. The World
Is an institution. Long after Mr.. Roosevelt
Is dead, long after Mr.. Pulitzer is dead,
long after all the present editors of this
paper are dead, the World will still go on
as a great Independent newspaper, unmuz-
zled, undaunted and unterrorized.
