were all colored people. The case was
heard In the Wildwood borough hall
and quite a number of citizens were
out to hear the testimony. George
Rogers, 33 years old, who resides at
the corner of Sehellinger and Holly
Beach avenues, accused Mary Rogers,
his common law wife, of assault and
battery on him. Curtis Baker repre-
scented the complainant and Jonathan
Hand defended the woman. The man
commended that he came home late one
night and while preparing for bed the
woman fired a pistol at him, whereup-
on he went out of the window head
first. The woman told a different
story as did another witness. to h eff
feet that the gun went off while the
pair were scufiiing. She accused the
man of keeping a speakeasy, but at
the same time admitted to taking a
nip of whiskey or beer herself occa-
sionally. The Justice decided that the
evidence was not sufficient to bind
the woman over to appear before the
grand jury, so the case was dismissed.
The same parties soon got into a fracas
again, however, and or Tuesday were
before Squire Coombs and this time the
man charged the woman with being
drunk and disorderly. From the testi-
mony given she was having a high old
time when Constable Lockwood and
Joseph Heritage arrested her. The re-
suit was that Squire Coombs sentenced
her to sixty days in the county jail and
she was taken to Court House Wednes-
day afternoon by Chief of Police Lock-
wood. The woman has frequently
been in trouble before and has been a
familiar figure at the Squire's Office.
