BAYONNE. Aug. 21.-Mrs Marian

her relatives say, of a beating ad-
ministered by her husband, John Nc
Laughiin, last Sunday. Mclaughlin,
who is being held in police headquar-
ters, charged with manslaughter, de-
clares that his wifes death was due to
alcoholism.
County Physician Converse, who has
charge of the case, will hold an autopsy
today to determine the cause of the
woman's death.
Neighbors of the McLaughlins, upon
whose testimony the man was arrested
on Monday when he called at the hos
pital to see his wife, say that he re-
turned to his home, 1913 Avenue E, on
Sunday night in an intoxicated condi-
tion and began beating his wife un-
mercifully with strap. She was seen,
II is said, to run from the house, stag
ger across the sidewalk and fall to the
pavement. Her husband followed her,
the neighbors allege and began to beat
her in the street, when some of those
who had seen the incident rushed to
her rescue.
Rescued by NeiShbers.
Several of the women of the neighbor-
hood took Mrs Mclaughlin into the
house and put .her to bed Later she
was taken to the hospital 1t was said
there that the womans body was black
with bruises.
Miss Clara Finnerty, a sister of Mrs.
Mclaughlin, called at police headquar-
tiers and told Acting Chief Patrick
Tierny the story ~ the attack Nc
Laughin is said Il" have made on his
wife. When the man called at the hos
pital later in the day he was arrested.
Salter & Dougherty. prominent attor-
neys of the city. have been retained to
defend him. and have entered for him
a plea of not guilty
Girl Makes Charge.
Jessie Miller, 10-year-old girl, who
lives in the house where the McLaugh-
Inns made their home, told the police
that she saw Mclaughlin beating his
wife with a thick strap on Sunday
night
Mclaughlin is an engineer in the em-
ploy of the Standard Oil Company. He
has been there for seven years. AT the
plant his employers speak highly of
him as sober, industrious man. The
McLaughlins had been married seven
years. They had no children.
The body of Mrs. Mclaughlin has
been removed to Guys, morgue and it is
there the autopsy will be performed.

atty abandoned the search for the miss
ing British steamship Waratah. which
left Port Natal July 26 for London. with
three hundred persons on board. and
has not been reported since.
There remains stiil a slender hope
that the Waratah may te found. by
reason of the fact that the steamship
Meharandra, from Madagascar for East
London. is twenty DAYS overdue.
1t has been suggested that the Menar-
andra may be assisting the Waratah.

VOTE INFLUENCED
BY HOT WEATHER.
JUROR ADMITS
Practise of Locking Panel Up
Over Night Results in Unfair
Verdicts. Lawyers Say.
NEWARKER, IN LETTER,
CITES ONE INSTANCE
Despite His Confession, Appeal
to Have Decision Set Aside
Is Dismissed.

That jurors sometimes vote against
their true convictions to escape long
yigils of night sessions locked up in a
jury room, is the opinion held by a
great many lawyers.
Members Of the Essex County Bar
will be interested in case in point
that was recently decided in the First
District Court of this city, and after
wards came up on rule to show cause
why the verdict should not be set aside
and new trial granted.
Truax & Watson a legal collection
firm of New York city, through George
III. Pierce. of this city, were suing the
F. Steiger Trunk and Bag Company, of
this city, for $100, the amount of fees
they claimed were due them for recov-
ering claim.
Too Hot, He said in Note.
The jury brought in a verdict in favor
| of the defendant, who was represented
by Jacob L. Newman. Then came the
statement of one of the jurors-Fred-
erick Fuchs, saloonkeeper, of 80 Green
street, that he had agreed to a verdict
in favor of the defendant because he
didn't like to- be kept in a hot room.
And to make sure, that this news would
reach the plaintiffs. he sent the follow
ing postal card:
Gentlemen:
Owing only to the circumstances
of my situation as. small business
man, and the hot atmosphere in the
Jury-room, / agreed to verdict for
the defendant in your law cause l
stated my opinion entirely to every
| juror before we left the jury room.
Respectfully,
FRED FUCHS.
p. S.-A friend said to me: when
you are guilty ask for twelve fools;
if not guilty, for three judges"
Fuchs made affidavit swearing that
the facts already stated were true.
And this affidavit was used by Mr..
Pierce in an effort to have the verdict
set aside.
Appeal Is Dismissed.
Mr.. Newman, in a lengthy brief sub
mitted to the court, showed that a
verdict cannot be disturbed by a dis
satisfied juror after he renders his ver-
dict. Among the many cases quoted by
him appears that of Deacon VS.. Shreve,
% n. ]. L.. page 176. The rule stated
in this case follows:
''The testimony of jurors to impeach
their own verdict should be excluded.
on the grounds of public policy; be-
cause it tends to defeat their solemn
act, where third persons are interested; !;
because its admission would open a
door to tamper with jurymen, after
they had given their verdict; because
It might be the means in the hands of
a dissatisfied juror to destroy a verdict
at any time after he had assented to
1t, and because of its tendency to un-
settle verdicts in general"
Judge Benjamin F. Jones, of the Or
ange District Court, who was acting
judge of the First District Court at that
time, Immediately dismissed the rule.

SUSPECT NUTLEY FIRE
WAS WORK OF INCENDIARY.

The Nutley firemen were called out
yesterday by an alarm from box %,
caused by blaze in two unoccupied
and dilapidated buildings on the estate
of the late John Sanford in William
stret, Nutley. The fremen soon eX-
tinguished the flames. The buildings
have been on fire a number of times
during the last year, and as the struc-
lures are in dangerous condition and
regarded as an eyesore, it is thought
that they were set on fire Intentionally.
