Charge to Jury.
Justice Bergen, In charging the
jury, said the prosecutor had in
formed him that member of the
bar of this county had appropriated
money entrusted to him by client.
He said If evidence warranted it, it
was their duty to render an indict-
ment, as the fact that he was a law
yer should not be considered, ex-
cept that it gave him less excuse. He
said people naturally rely on law
yer and therefore he should not be
excused.
He said the iurymen should be
careful not to call before them men
that were accused. declaring the
matter of trial should be left to those
handling the case after an indict-
ment had been found. He told the
Jurors to be careful In their atten-
tion to excise law violations. Con-
Guiding, he told the iurymen that
the fact they might not Ike law
was no excuse for them refusing to
indict a man accused Of violating
the law. He said refusal 10 indict
showed their disregard for the law,
resulting in their violation OF the
law.
Judge DAILY Speaks.
Justice Bergen then moved to one
side and Judge Daily occupied the
county bench. He gave long talk
upon his view of matters that con-
stantly arise in the county courts, In
which he made known his policy on
county excise matters. He urged the
reduction of liquor dealing places in
the county and higher standard
among hotels. He stated for the in
formation of all that excise matters
would come up at IL o'clock instead
of ~ o'clock, noon, hereafter.
Judge DAILY said that the laws con-
ing excise licenses and in those cases
he was controlled to some degree by
the people. He said many upright
citizens have made applications for
liquor licenses and a number of them
are raising the hotels to higher
standard. He declared the liquor
traffic should be regulated by the
supply and demand, and If the sup
ply was greater than the demand the
supply should be cut off. He said
there should be limit, according to
population, placed on the number of
places, as there are entirely too
many places. He declared sixteen
licenses were far too many for
Woodbridge township and that twen-
ty-siY places, such as there are in
South River, is an outrage.
All the licenses in Woodbridge
were granted by Judge DAILY and all
excepting two in Roosevelt. They
are John Halter and Max Greenwald,
which were laid over until April 13.
Continuing on the same subject,
Judge DAILY said he would like TO
know Of a way of reducing the num-
Der of places. He said one solution
OF the matter would be to let all the
present license holders run places
until they violated the law and If
they did so while he was Judge their
licenses would be revoked and would
never be restored to them.
Wholesale Liquor Trade.
Mr.. DAILY spoke at length upon the
W
clared the law was being broken by
the manner in which It is often
transacted. He said liquor must not
be peddled as 1t Is. He stated that
In one town where there is mill
q man with wholesale license ped
dies liquor in retail quantities. This
was practice, he said, that would
have to be stopped. Hereafter, said
Judge DAILY, no licenses would be
granted to people owning grocery
stores. Continuing, the Judge said
Il had been intimated that politi-
clans have boasted In years past OF
heir power in controlling liquor lie
enses in the county. He said he
1idn't believe 1T.
