accompany the body to HARTFORD.
Bertram Hunter Joined that church
eight years ago.
DR.. Hunter was moved to tears to-
day when he spoke of his son, and
told of having lost his other son, 19
years ago after brief illness. Bertram
was expected home for the holidays
and preparations had been under way
to receive him. A letter from him
several weeks ago told with what joy
he looked forward ito his visit to his
parents.

Details of the affair have it that the
young man had chided a negro in
Joking manner about lack Johnson. This
was resented and the negro Thomas
Moorehead who was engaged as a por-
ter, il is alleged. came, back several
minutes later and struck Hunter or

In speaking of his son DR.. Hunter
said
"He was a model young man and was
loved by all. He took this position at
the advice of physicians of both Lon
don and New York, who declared he
must live in the open. | visited him at
Edmonton some time ago and was
pleased 20 see how popular he was with
all the Indians and others who were
living there. One chief told me that
he never trusted a white man, but

your son. He was temperance man."

He Lives After 1900
Volts Go Through Him
Leaves Hospital Scarcely
Injured Few Hours
AfterWard.

Despite the fact that 13,2OO volts of
electricity passed through his body to-
day. Robert Afford, of 80 Lincoln
street, East Or nge, was able to
leave the City Hospital a few hours
after being taken there. The shock
was enough 20 kill a man with a less
hardy constitution. The usual voltage
sent through a prisoner condemned to
die is between 1900 and 2,300
Afford sustained the shock in the
power house of the Public Service Cor
poration in River street. Both his
arms and his forehead are badly
burned
Afford was winding a transformer
and was standing on a high ladder.
In some unknown manner he fell.
His head struck one of the large ma
chimes, and in his effort to balance
himself he pushed his hand into one
of the large circuits, making an i'm
perfect connection.
When Afford reached the hospital
he had gained consciousness and was
able to give his name and address.
When asked where he was born he
said, I'm old England, dotcher know ?''
The physicians are hopeful for the man
and declare that on account of his
strong constitution he will survive the
great shock.

Herself in Court
This Afternoon.
PITIFUL LETTER READ

NEW YORK, Dec S.--Miss Lillian
Graham burst into such a violent fit
of weeping that court had to take a
recess for five minutes today and in

w. E. 7. Stokes, whom she and Ethel
Conrad are accused of trying to mur-
der. The defendant lost control of her.
self after she had been on the stand
about ten minutes under examination
by her own attorney.
The contention of the show-girls is
that while they shot oEcs, their acts
were justified, because he called at
their apartment and demanded certain
letters and started to loke Miss Ora
ham before the girls fred.
The illness of Mr.. Stokes yesterday
necessitated the settling of the question
whether the defense should open its
case or wait until the complaining wit
ness was able to submit to a recross-
examination. To learn the exact condi-
ton of Mr. Stokes. his physician, DR..
Josiah P. Thornley,, was placed on the
stand. He said he did not know when
his patient could respond. His words
indicated that 1t might be months be-
fore Stokes's health would permit it.
There was an EXTENDED legal ex-
change upon this. Justice Marcus set
tied the controversy by ordering that
the redirect testimony of Stokes be
stricken from the record, and that the
trial proceed
All became silent as Clark l.. Jordan
rose to deliver his opening address.
But he didn't start. He wanted a let
ter, then in the possession of Mr. Buck
ner, which was written by Lillian Gra-
ham to Ethel Conrad on May 27, when
the former. according to what Miss
Conrad told Stokes that day, was
writhing In The agony.of carbolic acid
burns the aftermath of an announced
attempt at suicide over That Lillian
said was Stokes's neglect and treat
ment of her.
Mr. Jordan finally got he letter, in
spite of Mr.. Buckner's protest. and
read 1t.

JUDGE DAVIS
Is HONORED
BY LAWYERS
Presented with Silverware
as He Leaves
Bench.

Jptage TNon1es A. Davis practically
closed his career as county judge short
ly after noon today when, after dis
posing of a number of prisoners
brought before him for sentence, he
was called into the grand jury room,
where about 100 lawyers and. q like
number OF courthouse employees
greeted him.
On table in the centre of the room
was large box covered by an Ameri-
can flag. II contained 2oG pieces of
solid silverware, embracing everything
from the tiniest spoon to the huge
carving knives and forks.
The gift was a parting one to Judge
Davis on behalf of the lawyers and
Court House employees and was pre-
sented in fitting words to the retiring
Judge by Edward M. Cole.
The presentation by Mr.. Collie was
fitting, as it was in his office a number
of years ago that Judge Davis first
took UP the study of law. Practically
every prominent lawyer in Essex coun-
ty ioined in the gift to Judge Davis.
Judge Davis in a neat little speech
thanked his friends for their gift,
explained that he left the bench with
the greatest of regret. but did so as
he believed his duty to himself and
family required it.
Judge Thomas A. Davis leaves the
county court bench at noon tomorrow.
His resignation has been in the hands
of Governor Wilson for about six
weeks. No successor has been appoint
ed as far as public announcement goes,
In the county jail today are Y
prisoners, twenty eight of them women
awaiting trial. The county prosecutor
once 10 ready to so to trial with prac-
tscarly every one Of these prisoners.
The delay on the part of Governor
Wilson in announcing the name of the
new Judge will again hamper the courts
next week and. as one lawyer said TINS
morning, mo one knows how many
more weeks before he makes up his
mind whom he wants to appoint
Opinion around the court house is
that State Senator Harry V. Osborne
has accepted the position from Gov
ernor Wilson and will succeed Judge
Davis. Another strong tip is that
Simon P, Northrup one of the leading
members of the Wilson Democratic
League of Essex county, and who is
connected with the Fidelity Trust Com
pany, will be the new judge. The issue
seems to have narrowed down to Os-
borne and Northrup, with the chances
favcring Osborne.

vain effort to reach James Hard

feet below the surface in a shaft.
Hardnut was buried by a cave-in late

this morning that owing to the fact
that the digging was threatening the
foundations of several nearby build

SUCCESSOR TO DAVIS
UNNAMED BY WILSON.
Especial to the Newark Star. ]

TRENTON, Dec. Sat / o'clock to-
day Governor Wilson had not yet
named a successor to Judge Thomas A
Davis. Of Essex county, whose reslgna-
tion goes into effect tomorrow. The
Governor, when asked If the appoint
mont would be made today, said ne
could not say positively. The opinion
prevails here that when made the ap-
pointment will go to Senator Harry W
osborne, Notwithstanding the criticisms
that have been made against him,
Those whose names are under serious
consideration besides Senator Osborne
are Judge Simon Hahn and Simon r.
Northrup. The belief that Senator Os-
horne will be named is based upon the
strong leaning Governor Wilson has
shown toward him, both before and
during his candidacy last Encnth for re-
election to the State senate.

for mill products. A warehouse that
was thought to be ample for many
years was erected about two years

made necessary. When the new one
is finished the mill can store
twenty-five carloads of flour with

The national bureau of education
has the following TO say of the
Idaho school code:
The code reported by the Idaho
State School commission and en-
acted into law with a few minor
amendments must be rated as one
of the most practical and successful
of such efforts The trainers did
not make the mistake of attempting
too much, and proposed no radical
change in prevailing conditions
Thew prepared a complete code. order
ly in arrangement and harmonious
in detail, based upon existing laws
which were more than usually de-
fective and incongrous. Changes
were freely made, but those changes
were manifestly improvements and
were not such as to arouse severe
antagonism and thus defeat the
prime purpose of the commission.
