Michael Stillman, who lives in Wilcox
place, Hyde Park, East Orange, said
today that he is considering moving his
Police Court dismissed his complaint
of 'noise-making' against Douglas
Foote and Chester Drummond.
Mr.. Stillman, who is an architect,
sleeps on his front porch from 8 to 10
o'clock every night. Mr.. Stillman's
complaint, as read before the court
yesterday, is as follows:
1T wish the court would kindly COM
pei these men to stop their malicious
laughter and promiscuous building at
night. Why, they think nothing at
all oil starting their dogs to
barking and their chickens TO crow
ing at any Sid time of night. Be
sides that. they slam doors. The other
night one or both of them slammed a
door so hard that they woke up a cop
who was asleep three blocks away
The cop came running up and wanted
to know who had fired a pistol.
Nov. I am not complaining about
their disturbing the cops rest, but I
think / ought to be allowed to sleep In
peace; also my family: also my maids.
But we can't. Just as soon as one of
us gets to sleep they start the dogs to
barking, the chickens to growing, the
cats to fighting, the doors to slam
ming and the children to laughing.
Now, your honor, I want to ask you
can any normal man sleep when all
this is going on around him? I say he
can't and I want to nave the law on
them."

sister, Mrs. Robert Ford, whom he has
been seeking for more than a year.

moved to East Orange and was last

Ford in Newark a month ago. He fears
that she may have met with harm and
wants her to return home.
