the ground floor, where his lunch was

which had not BEEN fastened and fell
the entire remaining distance to the

Market street was crowded with the
usual noon-hour throngs, which were
greatly augmented by the crowds OF
shoppers, and a cry of horror arose as
many of the people caught a glimpse
of the man falling to, what seemed, al
most certain death. A crowd quickly
gathered about the PROSTATE form. but

CHARGES NUTLEY
POLICEMAN WITH
ATTEMPT TO KILL
John Ford Claims Two Chance.
men Tried To DO Him
Up"

Following the ~arraignment of two
ltley chancemen, one charged with
,sault and battery with intent to kill
Id the other with being drunk and
Asorderly, a formal complaint against
1em will be made by John Ford, of
,assaic avenue, before the police COM
nittee of the Town Council Friday.
Ford. claims that the two members of
the Nutley police force, Chanceman
James Murren, jr., and Frank Jami-
son, set out to do him up" Sunday
night.
He had the men arraigned before
Recorder Washington E. Page, Murren
was held in 5000 bail to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury. Jamison, who
was charged merely with being drunk
n d~isorderly. was paroled in custody
of Chief of Police Suteliffe.
Ford's sworn statement of the alleged
assault took three-quarters of an hour
to be presented. He told in detail how
the two chanceman HAD ait in for
him."
He had been arrested by iamison's
brother, Sergeant John Jamison, Satur-
day night, charged with drunkenness.
He was released by Recorder Page,
however, when he promised to sign the
pledge n turn over to his mother SIS
that he had in his possession.
Sunday night. according to his story,
the two chancemen, both drunk, ap-
peared at his house. Murren assaulted
him, so he says.
AS witnesses he names his mother
and two sisters, who, he alleges, wit
messed the fight.
In view of Ford's sensational story
about the alleged attempt of the
chanceman to beat him and the ar
raignment of the two men before Re-
corder Page last night, it is probable
that they will be suspended from all
duty until the charges are threshed
out.
"I heard about the affair last night"
said Mayor Lux to an Evening STAR
reporter today. 81 don't know what
action will be taken n l don't know
whether they will be suspended or
not"
Chief of Police Sutcliffe could not be
reached by telephone today.
Police Commissioner Callahan said
hat he was not present when the
complaint was made by Ford.
Tuesday night, 1 know, he denied
that any trouble had happened at his
home. The two men charged with
having made the disturbance aren't
regular members of the police force.
They are assigned to work from day to
day. It is certain that they will not
receive any further assignments until
they have been brought before the
committee and given a trial"

$400, 900 in claims filed by stockholders,
The assets were valued at $52, 900.
A great amount of testimony was
taken in the case, and the promoters
were convicted of illegal use of this
mails. Nathan Bilder, the trustee, ano.
J.. Henry Cohen, his counsel, have Sc
cured attachments on Ellis's property,
which includes $175, 900 equity in the
Hotel Fredericks, New York; his homt
and and in Montclair, an apartment
house In New York and other securi
ties.
Turnover proceedings were instituted
against Ellis and Graves in two differ,
emit suits. Referee Adams signed orr
ders to turn owe in each suit, eithe
one of which the trustee figured woul
satisfy the creditors If a favorable Yer
dict is made by the United States Dis
trict Court Judge at Trenton. The or
der which Judge Rellstab, of Trenton
has taken into consideration Is that
demanding Ellis and Graves to return
1896, $780, n to the bankrupt estate a.
money paid into the treasury by tx
stockholders. Ellis and Graves claimed
the right to the stock as promoters OF
the corporation. 1t is understood that
Judge Rellstab has returned this order
to Referee Adams for further consid-
Grafton by the latter, as certain credits
due Ellis were not taken into consid-
Grafton In the referees order.
Other Suit is for $4,000.
The other suit instituted by the trus-
tee called for Ellis and Graves to turn
over 1913, 900 for unpaid assessment on
stock if 1T developed that the stock be-
longed to the promoters and lot to the
company. This action has not been
considered by Judge Rellstab. who
wishes to dispose of the first order.
Upon the outcome of these turnover
proceedings depends whether or not
the creditors will receive some of the
money which they put into the Kornit
Company.
Ellis has -four daughters, one of whora
is 10 years of age, and who has neve~
been told her father was In prison.
Several years ago Ellis married Miss
Taylor, who had been a companion TO
his Oldest daughter. 1t was rumored
that Ellis and his daughter became
estranged as a result of his second
marriage. Mrs. Ellis was in the Cafe
Martin, New York. celebrating the in
coming of 1911. when her dress caught
fire and h was fatally burned.
