HARRISON MAN
PUTS CASE Up
TO PROSECUTOR
Dissatisfied with Disposition in
Police Court, He Engages
Counsel.

Declaring that he was not given a
fair deal in the Harrison Police Court
when ne had Clement Yenese, of Jersey
City, arrested for atrocious assault
with intent to Kill, Frederick Flood of
2OS n. Second street, Harrison, has en-
gagged the services of counsel and his
case is to be investigated by Prosecu-
tor Pierre Garvin. of Hudson county,
and the findings of this official will be
presented to the grand jury.
The trouble between Flood and
Nenese, according to the former. is OF
long standing. The story that led up
to the assault which occurred Sunday
afternoon, January 8. is an interesting
one. An EVENING STAR reporter
visited the Flood home To-Day and
found that Flood was willing to dist
cuss the. matter
1t appears that Nenese. whose
brother Samuel is married to Floods
stepdaughter. wanted to marry a 1s-
year-old stepdaughter of Flood. The
girls married sister, 1t is said ar
ranged the match and on January 7,
in company with another woman, came
to Harrison and took the younger girl.
Julia. to her home in Jersey City, as
Siit was ledNlIS StIlDOl
Another sister. Mile, who saw the
married sister take Julia away, was
given ten cents and told not to say
anything, it is said. When Julia, who
is pupil at the Hamilton Street
Public Schol, Harrison, did not return
by supper time on the night of January
I her mother became worried as to her
safety.
Late in the night Millie, becoming
frightened. told the mother where
Julia was. Mrs. Flood went at once
to Jersey City and got her daughter.
The following Sunday Venese and
Floods step-son. Charles, is years old,
who is out on probation from the Rah-
way Reformatory, came to the Flood
home and started a fight. Flood was
badly beaten, it is said, as a result.
Patrolman James Duffy arrested
Venese but young Flood got away. A
charge of atrocious assault and bat
terry. with intent to kill. was entered
against Venese, and he was locked up.
The following morning he was ar
raigned, and Flood, who had several
cuts on his face, appeared as com
plainant and told his story to Justice
Branegan.
The outcome of the hearing was that
Venese was discharged. Flood claimed
Venese threatened him and wanted to
make another charge against the Jer-
sey Cityite. but it was not taken
Jones and Gleason. Newark attor-
neys. have Floods case in hand, and
they have placed the facts before the
Hudson county prosecutor.

SOUTH ORANGE
TOWNSHIP HAS.
TWO DISTRICTS
Maplewood Residents Will Have
to Vote in Hilton
Hereafter.

Instead of citizens residing in the
Hilton section of South Orange town
ship having to go to Maplewood on
election day TO cast their votes, il will
be just the opposite hereafter. This
action was taken last night when the
township committee at an adjourned
meeting adopted a resolution forming
the township into two polling districts.
Valley street forms the dividing line.
East of that street will be known as
the first district and to the west will
be the second district.
A protest was made at the meeting
when Committeeman William A. Green
away, the Hilton section representa-
tive. introduced the resolution. One
resident of Valley street, who is within
a stones throw from the old polling
place in Maplewood, declared it was
unfair to make him walk to Hilton, a
mile away. simply because his home
was on the opposite side of the street.
Ever since the township was formed
there was but one district, and the
polling place was in Maplewood.
