lade of Bullets from
Rival Warning Squads.

NEW YORK. Dec. ia gang"
battle before daylight today in Thomas
Jefferson Park left two men dead and
a third man dying. Thus far the police
have not learned the cause of the fight
Between fifteen and twenty men in two
divisions took part in the battle and
more than a dozen shots were fired
Two squads of men we're seen enter
ing the park and soon afterwafd the
shots began to ring out. Pedestrians
promptly lodged into Railways. The
fusillade of bullets kept up until the
arrival of the police, when the gun
fighters fled. Men, revolvers in hand,
ran in every direction. Some of the fu-
gitives halted long enough to fire sew
eral bullets at the police.
The police believe that one of the
dead men is PATSY" Ammello, who
lived at 512 South Pearl street Phila-
delphia, They base their identification
on a lease for the premises at this
location and a return ticket to Phila-
delphia found in the mans pocket.
Lying near Ammello was a man iden-
titled as Mariana Debueno, a New York
barber He died on the way to the
hospital. Amoclio Duemono, who is
dying at the hospital refuses to throw
any light upon the affair.
The men held as witnesses are an
undertaken who brought the dead man
to the hospital and four others, who
called to see the wounded man. All
deny any knowledge of the shooting.

that you are going to lose your posi-
ton has no standing in the matter
Schwartz was ordered to pay his
wife the amount asked until January

TRIES TO HAVE EGAN
VERDICT SET ASIDE

JERSEY CITY, Dec 19--In an effort
to save County Collector Stephen M.
Egan, found guilty of embezzlement
Saturday. from a Jail sentence. a
motion will be made at o'clock this
afternoon for an arrest of judgment.
julius Lichtenstein, who was asso-
ciated with former Governor Fort as
counsel for the accused county official,
will argue that the verdict was not one
of guilty, basing his, contention on a
ruling said to have been made by JUS
tice Swayze that the State had to show
criminal intent to defraud to warrant
a verdict of guilty
Mr.. Lfchtenstein will argue that such
evidence was not adduced. He will
claim that, while there is no denying
the fact that Bgan had loaned county
funds, it had not been shown that there
was any intent on his part to defraud
the county.

KUEHULE
AIDED BY
CONTRACTS
Say Witnesses in Trial of For
mer Mays Landing
Leader.

MAYS LANDING, DecJ 19.-Testi-
mony of the most convincing nature
that Lockwood and Cherry were only
a subterfuge for the United Paving
Company was given by '9homas C.
Newell, who worked in the United
Paving Company office. Newell said a
separate book was kept for the ac-
counts of Lockwood and Cherry, in
connection with the water main. Lock-
wood was superintendent for the
United Paving Company, receiving 5000
month from them and $50 from
Lockwood and Cherry.
The payroll of the latter was attend
ed to by Ben Bacharach, cashier for
the United Company. The amounts
expended in this way and for expense
accounts by the Lockwood concern
were taken from the proceeds of checks
from the United Company. He said
Lockwood was not charged rent, and
Kuhenle, witness testified, often came
to the office.
Startling revelations of extravaganza
on the part of the Water Commission
in building the big water main across
the meadows was brought to light in
the examination of Rufus Booye. a
member of the commission when the
contract was awarded.
Booye testified that there was a bid
$4,000 less than the one of Lockwood,
which he admitted could have been
secured by readvertising for bids
"Why didn't you readvertise for bids
and save the city this money!" thun-
dered the attorney-genera1.
Counsel objected but in the argument
for admission the attorney general Sc
yerely arraigned Kuehnle and the
board, during which Kuehnle was
plainly embarrassed. 1t was shown that
kuehnle owns nearly $4,000 in shares
i'm the United Paving Company, which
Wilson said was plainly the beneficiary
of the contract. With this evidence
the State rested.
