calls for discrimination and careful procedure We OF

Tho Night Edwin Booth First APP
peared as Richard III.
Between the ages Of fifteen and
eighteen Edwin Booth was almost con-
stantly the intimate companion of his
father, Junius Brutus Booth the elder.
That fathers eccentricities were such
as to tax even the devotion of such
q son, but Edwin's affectionate care
never failed. He used to beguile the
tragedian's time following his arduous
performances by playing the violin or
singing negro ballads. accompanying
himself on the banjo Many times he
attended his father on long walks be-
tween midnight and morning. In 1851,
on a certain night. the father was
booked to appear as Richard III. at
the National theater. New York. An
hour before the time for the curtain
to rise he chose to lock himself in a
closet at his hotel and refused every
persuasion his son could offer to keep
his engagement
In despair Edwin rushed to the the
alter to explain his fathers absence.
The house was already filled. The
manager was distracted and In his
excited questioning Of the boy acct
dentally learned that the tragedian
had fippantly told Edwin to go and
act Richard himself. "We'll take him
at his word" said the manager. And
the frightened boy was FASTENED to
the stage and helped into his fathers
Gloster costume, several sizes too big
gave helpful encouragement.
The play opened without an explana-
ton to the audience. When Edwin
made his entrance for the opening solil-
oquy the substitution was Immediate
ly recognized. but so also was the boy,
for Edwin had several times appeared
in lesser parts. notably that of Tressel
in the same play. in which role he
made his very first appearance. The
audience was kindly tolerant for a
time, then interested and finally enthu-
sinstic, for Edwin Booth, although only
eighteen years of age, played Richard
worthily, revealing many flashes OF
that brilliant genius that afterward
made him n star of much greater emil
nence than his father had ever achiev-
ed On the strength Of this success
Edwin Booth was soon engaged by

RECORD
FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1911
Califon Justice of Peace Jailed.

On complaint of William G. Fort,
agent for the New Jersey Children's
Home society, which has its principal
Office in Trenton, Henry Colwell, a
justice of the peace Of Califon, was ar
rested Wednesday morning, in Dover,
n. j., on the charge of neglecting his
three minor children. He was taken
before Squire Huntington S. Thomas
of High Bridge, and committed to the
county Jail at Pennington, to await
the action of the grand jury.
Mr.. Fort alleges that the justice of
the peace has not properly clothed or
fed his children for the past year, and
that few months ago he spent $75
for gun instead of using the money
to clothe and feed his three small
children. The children are Mary, 4
years old; Elizabeth. years old and
Nellie, 8 years.
According to Mr.. Fort, Colwell
whipped his youngest daughter with
huge horse whip last summer and
the child had colored ridges on her
body for several days after the beat
ing.
The children's mother passed away
more than two years ago, and ever
since that time, it is alleged, they
have been subjected to this severe i'll
treatment and abuse. On several oc-
casions, it is said, persons residing in
Califon, could hear the shrieks the
children made when their father brut-
ally assaulted them with his fists.
Justice of the Peace Colwell is we'll
known in Califon. where he has resided
for number Of years, and has
held the Office of squire for more than
ten years.
