FREES CHAUFFEUR
CHARGED WITH
TAKING JOY RIDE.
Judge Ten Eyck Orders Acquits
tai in First Prosecution
Under New Law.

BY the direction of Judge Ten Eyck
a jury in the Quarter Sessions Court TO-
day rendered a verdict for the defend
ant in the first case in this county IN
der the new automobile law making
Joy riding a misdemeanor. The court
directed the verdict of the jury after
the State had closed its case, on a mo-
ton by Duane E. Minard, as counsel
for Merle Branin, who was charged
with using an automobile belonging to
Leopold n Joseph Meyer without the
consent of the owners.
Leopold Meyer testified that Branin
had been in his employ as an engineer
for two years, and shat on September
IL last Branin went to the garage on
Campbell place, and without his knowl-
edge or consent took out the machine.
Questioned by Mr.. Minard, the witness
admitted that his brother had an inter-
est in the machine, thai both of them
had bought it in 1907. other witnesses
e~orroborated his statement that Branin
Rad taken the machine out on Septem-
Der IL.
With the announcement bv Second
Assistant Prosecutor Van Blarcom that
the State rested, Mr.. Minard made his
motion to have the indictment dis
missed. He read the indictment that
Branin had ~"unlawfully used a motor
vehicle owned by Leopold Meyer" and
then quoted the law.
The statute reads said Mr.. Minard,
without the consent of the owner of
the automobile. 1t has been shown
here by the testimony that Leopold
Meyer is not the only owner of the car,
that his brother also has an interest in
IL. The State has not proved that Bra
min did not receive Joseph Meyers con-
sent to use the car. and I move that the
Indictment be dismissed
The court called upon the State to
produce evidence to the effect that the
defendant had not received the consent
of both owners of the automobile. In
directing the jury to render a verdict in
favor of the defendant. the court said
that the State had failed to show thar
one of the owners did moi give his on
sent. In a criminal case, he concluded.
you cannot assume anything, and 1
therefore direct that you find the de-
PENDANT mot guilty"

stronger in Newark than any other
section of the State. The message will
urge a continuance of the close rela-
lions between the citizens and the
officials. Students of figures say that
there are few cities in the United
States that can make as good a inaa-
cial showing as the city of Newark.
The message win tell of the removal
of the obstacles in the way of meadow
reclamation and the ship canal. Court
proceedings with a view to affirming
h law have heretofore halted progress,
but the act has since been declared
constitutional and the project for the
reclamation of meadow land within the
city limits by means of a ship canal
will now be urged to a realization. The
canal would afford all facilities for
ocean-going vessels, including docks and
warehouses. and the meadow land
would be of value as factory sites and
the like.

The mayor will demand a larger show
of local self-government and the power
for the municipality to regulate the ex-
else and other local affairs. He will
have something TO say concerning the
granting of more generous provision for
the care of victims of tuberculosis He
Will discuss with favor the public bath
and playground propositions which are
growing so popular hereabouts. The
dangerous congestion of travel at the
corner of Market and Broad streets will
receive the mayors attention to an
earnest degree. The situation at the

to municipality construct a subway for
