TO ATTACK CONFESSION
OF CONVICTED MURDERER

MAYS LANDING, April 5.-On the
| ground that Farmer William Strong's
rights were not guarded then he made
his confession of wife murder to an
Atlantic City medium his conviction by
a jury at Mays Landing will be APP
pealed to the Supreme Court. Decision
to carry the case up TO the higher court
was made at Camden yesterday at a
conference between former judges
Westcott and Carrow, who defended
Strong.
Stating that the law stipulates that
an accused person must be warned h a
whatever he might say when talking to
State officers will be used against him.
Judge Carrow claims that not o word
of caution was given Strong when he
admitted his guilt in the parlor of the
fortune-teller in the hearing OF two de-
t~ectives in the employ of the prosecu-
ton; in fact. they argue that he was
tricked into making the confession.
Prosecutor G~oldenberg will contend
that the detectives who heard the con-
fession were not State officers, and
that consequently the proceedings at
the mediums did not come under that
section of the law requiring a warning
to persons accused of crime in making
discriminating statements.

THREATENED TO BURN
HOUSE OF HIS AUNT.
Van Seeders Released from
Prison.

PATTERSON. April 5.-Abram Van
Seeders. who distinguished himself
eighteen months ago ny receiving and
cashing a money order intended as a
wedding present for a man by a similar
name. and earned for himself a year
term in the State prison. is again being
sought by the police authorities, this
time for uttering threats to burn the
house of an aun who furnished him
with food. but denied him money.
Van Seeders came in possession of a
postoffice money order intended for q
man with a similar name. The order
was sent ny relatives in New Haven,
Conn, to Abram Van Seeders, a sales
man, who about eighteen months ago
married Miss Catherine Mclaughlin,
of this city. The couple now live in
Newark. The order by mistake was
sent to this city. The Paterson man
went to Newark and cashed the order,
which was for 500.
Monday night Van Seeders went to
the home Of his aunt. Mrs. jacob
Wright. and asked for something to
eat. Mrs. Wright prepared a lunch
for Van Seeders. who then demanded
thai he be given money. When Mrs.
Wright refused TO comply with Van
Seeders's impudent demands he said
that he would return and burn down
her house.

ASSEMBLYMAN SCORES
LOBBYIST AT TRENTON.
Ltrorn a STAR correepondent.l

TRENTON, April 5.-The House
reprimanded yesterday Horace Nixon,
a lawyer of Camden. Mr.. Nixon
was working in behalf of the
bill which repeats all laws relat-
ing to the prices to be paid for Off
eial advertising. He was circulating a
petition to pry the Fitzherbert adver-
tising repeal bill, under the fifteen rule,
out of the committee on miscellaneous
business. Assemblyman Donnelly took
offense at this and had a resolution
prepared denying to Nixon the priv
ieges of the House at all times.
Donnelly and Martin, of Hudson,
said that they had no objections to
members of the House setting on foot
a movement to pry a bill out of COM
mittee and getting signatures to such
a petition, but they objected to the
exercise of that prerogative by out
siders.
Whyte, of Camden. said that he sy :
pathized with their feelings, but re-
quested that, as the action of the Cam
den lawyer was without any intentional
~discourtesy, the resolution be with
drawn.
Mr.. Donnel.y consented to have his
resolution lie over.

SENATE MAY PROBE
OCEAN COUNTY CHARGES.
Senatorial Contest
Very Much Alive.
.fFrom a stan Correspondent.

TRENTON, April 5.-The Mathis
Low Ocean county election case is not
dead. 1t was very much alive at a
meeting of the Senate elections comt-
mittee yesterday.
From information which came to The
surface last night it seems that Ma
this, the Republican contestant, and
his counsel, +. w. Blakeley, appeared
before the committee and stated
that Supreme Court Justice Willard
P. Voorhees, had acted arbitrarily in
decidir thai the votes cast at one poll
of the LAKEWOOD district were fraudu-
lent.
Counsel for Mathis also contended, it
was said, that Justice Voorhees, had
not given the contestant an oppor-
tunity to prove that the alleged fraud
ulent votes had not beer illegally cast:
In other words, that the ballot-box had
not been stuffed.
In the absence Of William D. Ed
wards, counsel for Low, the Senator
who was seated. Senator Silzer, hear
Ing what was going on in the elections
committee, appeared with Low before
the committee. No definite action was
taken by the committee, but it is said
that Senator Silzer, believing that a
Senate investigation of the whole case
was probable, advised Low to wire ex-
Senator Edwards of the situation and
ask him to come to Trenton without
delay.
1t is believed here that important
developments in this contested cleo
ton case may be made before the end
of the session this week.
