Matio Cadullo, employed as a berry
, picker on the farm of Howard Lippincott,
near Moorestown. was the next person to
have his troubles adjudicated. The de-
PENDANT is known as Mike. He was
charged with assault and battery and
carrying concealed weapons. The fellow
waived indictment and trial by jury and
pleaded guilty.
An Italian interpreter was pressed into
service, and through this agency it was
learned that while they were working to-
gether companion named Peno caused
ill-feeling by plaguing the complainant. In
explaining the situation to the latter Mike
became angry, went to the shanty, got his
revolver and put it in his pocket. When
reno went to the house to get some water
the gun was drawn and his life threaten
ed.
Cadullo was called upon to state his
side OF the case. He said Peno leased
him and called him a"buggy, lousy china
man." when l went to tell the boss
what this man was doing to me, Peno
wanted to hit me with a hoe. While
was going after the horse, as directed to
do l heard noise behind, and saw Peno
coming at me with knife. As l could
not jump away, pulled my revolver and
told him to stop. If hadn't had the gun
In my pocket guess he would have kill

and never carried weapon before.
Sam, the boss, who could speak English
well, testified that Peno had no knife in
his hand when Mike drew his revolver.
He told him not to shoot. Cadullo insist
ed that he only acted In self-defence The
court imposed fine of $25 for carrying
concealed weapons Judge Horner told
Sam to tell the men under his charge not
to carry weapons or they would be severe
ly dealt with.
James PEG, the Bristol young man who
pleaded guilty two weeks ago to commit
ting three burglaries in Burlington, was
committed to the Railway reformatory.
Harry Gilbert, Is years old, born In
Germany, but who came to this country
when child, pleaded guilty to entering
the home of Mrs. Noah Vincent at PALMYRA.
He simply raised the window but did not
take anything. He had been employed
by farmer, but ran away because of the
abuse he received. Gilbert said he was
after food, aud he broke into the house be-
cause he had nothing to eat for nearly
two days. The young man seemed like a
decent sort of boy, and the court held a
discussion Of the case with Sheriff Worrell
and assistant Prosecutor Peacock. "Will |
you promise to go to work and behave
yourself If place is found for you ?" the |
boy was asked. yes" he replied, and |
the youth was taken back to jail
William W. Prickitt, of Moorestown,
was another parole breaker. Twice be-
fore he had been up before the court for
being drunk and creating trouble at his |
home. In giving history of his domes- |
tic trouble, Prickitt said there were times |
when man could not live harmoniously |
with his wife. The defendant put more
blame on an aunt than he cared to as
sumo himself
"You are the most artful dodger 1 ever
saw, " remarked the court in addressing
the prisoner. First you get into trouble |
by drinking whiskey and quinine, now
you have switched off and are up TO |
drinking brandy, aud the next time it will |
probably be gin. You are bright fellow |
but don't understand you You are |
hardly out of the shadow of the court |
house before you are at 1t again"
The defendant replied by stating that he |
had been in Jail for ten days, but that he
should not be here, indicating that he was
not guilty of any misconduct. Prickitt |
was sent back to board with Sheriff Wor-
rell for while, and it Is probable that his
release will soon follow.
William Goines, colored, of Moorestown,
was the next candidate He got into
trouble on the night of July 4, driving his
brother-in-law out of the house, where he
went with white woman and created
disturbance, both men being under the
influence of liquor
Burlington, was taken up. Recently he
was arrested for beating his wife, SEN
tence was suspended, but the defendant
soon got into more trouble, the action
against him being another charge of
alleged wife beating, but he said he was
not guilty, and the matter was laid over
for investigation. AS Lowell would not
sign waiver of indictment and trial bv
Jury, 1t left the court without any iuris-
diction, and he was remanded to jail for
the action of the September grand jury.
V. Claude Palmer spoke in behalf of the
prisoner. He said 1t was a family scrap
and no one was hurt 1t was simply the
case of the fellow getting away and swear
Ing out warrant. The complainant had
no desire to push the case, and the ends of
justice would be met by suspending SEN
tence and placing the defendant on parole
Can the defendant pay a finer" the
court asked
Il don't think he can at the present
time," replied Mr. Palmer.
The court told Goines that too much
rum got him into trouble and that he
ought to be taught lesson. The defend
ant was placed on parole and given three
months in which TO pay the costs of prose
cution, amounting to $2448. He was
cautioned not to get into any further
trouble, or he would probably be dealt
with severely.
On the petition of Harold B. Wells the
court revoked the former letters of ad-
ministration which had been issued by
