X.SClENCE LAW IN JERSEY
Supreme C0urt Sets Aside Parents Con.
 yiCtien on MansIanghter Charge.

Trenton. N. J.. Feb. 24.-The Supreme Court set aside yesterday the convic- tion for manslaughter of MT. and Mrs Edwin M. Watson. Christian Scientists of Moorestown. whose seven-year-old son died as the alleged result of their failure to summon medical aid until the boy was in a dying condition.
 The conviction was the first of it's kind in this State one of the novel questions raised being how far the belief of Christian Scientists would ex- cuse them for wilfully neglecting to care for the physical needs of their children. The Supreme Court. how ever. found it unnecessary to decide this point. holding that the failure of the prosecution to bring before the jury an act passed in 1901 making it misdemeanor to neglect to care for children was sufficient ground for set ting aside the conviction.
 The decision hinges upon the fact that the trial Judge failed to instruct the jury to consider whether the child had been wilfuily neglected.

 Capture of Horse Thief.
 Albert Fuller was arrested in Stan1-' ford last week. It is believed that Fuller was the leader of the boldest gang of horse thieves that has in- fested this part of the country. On his person was found a memorandum of no less than 73 horses stolen by him and his confederates during the past few years. Fuller had the horses num- be ed. with date of theft and place where taken. but had no record of how they were disposed of. Fuller was held in $1,5O0 bonds by the Stamford court, and should he secure this. there are a humber of others ready to have him arrested. The theft that led to his ar rest was that of a horse from Wester- ly, R. l.. and he was not quick enough to get this away before news of the theft and description of the rig reached Stamford's police The rig was found near there. and as Fuller was we'll known in Stamford his arrest quickly followed.

BEAR DAY IN STOCK
Steel and Reading Meet the Brunt of
 the Attack.

New York, Feb. 24.-Tn the stock market yesterday there were sales of more than 100000 shares, of which about a quarter were Steel common and a sixth Reading. The day was the most active in many weeks and the market was a briskly declining one throughout practically all of the ses- sior. At the close, which showed about the lowest prices of the day, prices showed the most abrupt decline since the panic days in the fall of 1907.
 The opening of the market succeeded a holiday here, which was a business day in London and other foreign mar kets, and on which the London Stock Exchange and the Berlin and Paris Bourses had been weak on account of pessimistic reports cabled over regard ing the condition of the steel and iron trades here, following the declaration of the so-called open market last Fri day. Preceding the opening here also was yesterdays London market, in which prices of American rails as we'll as industrials were quoted even below the low prices ruling on Monday.

progress necessarily slow.
