Mr.. Parson told the detectives that
when the men threw the missile he
cried, "Wait until / get my gun"
upon which the men jumped behind
some trees The farmer said that he
did not have any gun and, taking adj
vantage of his ruse, he whipped UP
his horse and finally reached the
bridge
The detectives were also told by
Parson that the three men stopped
two wagons shortly afterward and
tried to choke one of the drivers who
had revolver and managed to in
jure one of them, hitting him In the
hose.
According to Parson the other two
farmers told him that the robbers
Hed after one of their number was
hit While the story at first seemed
strange, the detectives believed him,
as he was about forty-fve years old
and was considerably excited over
the matter. Efforts were made to
find the man who had done the shoot
ing but they were unsuccessful, as
the farmers seemed to think that the
officers would get them in trouble,
and they would not vouchsafe much
information.
Parson reiterated his story, the de-
tectives say, several times, and de-
clared that two OF the robbers were
of medium height while the third was
tall and had a dark moustache. The
farmer said that he was held up just
this side of the Hole-in-the-Wall.

SF~~e@f ~ eGto = nNlNG NE HN.
New Brunswick, Oct. 5:-The
present grand jury today commenced
Its probe into the charges made that
undue influence had been brought to
bear on the April, 1908, grand Jury
In finding indictments against Mayor
Joseph Marks, of South River, and
Borough Clerk Charles Anderson, of
that place. Much interest is mani
tested In the procedure and 1t is ex-
pected that the present investigation
may set at rest some of the rumors
that have been circulated throughout
the county, especially in South River,
ever since the indictments were first
found.
Besides the members of the April.
1908, grand jury, Mayor Marks and
Mr.. Anderson are here and the inves-
tigation is the sole topic of conversa-
tion In court circles. The proceed
ings OF the grand Jury are secret and
little has been allowed to leak out as
to what transpires behind the closed
doors. 1t is generally believed, how
ever, that the grand jurymen who
are being examined will be vindicat-
ed.
AS was told in the EVENING
NEWS yesterday, the matter was
brought to a head by the charge
made by Justice Bergen to the pres
ent grand jury and Prosecutor Boor-
aem at once issued subpoenaes for
the members of the April, 1908,
body.
