Spite FENCE SIGNS

CRIMINAL LIBEL
Also Alleged That Defendant La

MiIIiOnaires' Names.
Especial to the Newark star.l

FREEHOLD, Sept. 15.-The trial of
James NJ. Allger, of Seabright on two
indictments for criminal libel against
dents of Seabright and the famous
Rumson road, was begun today. Among
those named are: Ex- Mayor =. HAL
Packer, ex-foreman of the grand jury
of Monmouth county for January term
1909, John McPeak; William and James
1909, John McPeak; William Parker
and James Wallace. all of Seabright,
and Charles d. Halsey, of Rumson
road. The defendant is represented by
Allan Strong, of New Brunswick, while
the States case is in the hands Of
Prosecutor John J. Applegate, ir., and
Assistant Prosecutor Peter Vreden-
burgh.
Counsellor Strong opened the case by
endeavoring to have the indictments
quashed, because of each containing
more than one point.
Judge j. e. Foster refused to sustain
the motion stating that the express
sions, painting. printing and posting,
and printing circulars We're all permis-
sible in the one Indictment This mo-
ton overrUled, Deputy Sheriff Charles
Hawkins drew the jury.
This case is considered one of the
most important of the year, as the
trouble between Allger and the mil
!ionares has been going on for the
past three years.
Allger. who erected a ten-foot board
fence on three sides of his property
some time ago, has from time TO time
posted signs relative to the aggrieve |
men on this fence, and it was during
this term that they were able to offer
sufficient evidence to have him indict-
ed. Previous to painting the signs on
the fence Allger is claimed to have
placed women's underwear on a
clothesline on the property which bor-
ders the fashionable Rumson road and
attached names of the above men
thereon. Allger's acts have been such
as to cause many of his acquaintance
and some friends to believe him un-
balanced.
