HAT is ONLY CLUE TO
JERSEY CITY SLAYER.
Man Shot to Death Near Police
Station.

JERSEY CITY, March ia soft,
dark-colored hat, lying beside a man
shot to his death, has furnished the
police the only clue in their search for
the murderer of John Berotto, who was
slain here last night. The hat has been
identified as the property of Angelo
Spenerilla and the police are seeking
him.
Berotto was found unconscious on
the pavement a few steps from the
Ocean avenue station. The police had
heard the shooting and rushed out, but
did not see the assailant. The injured
man was taken to the City Hospital
and died without regaining his senses.
Three bullets had penetrated his body,
two of them in vital parts.
Spenerilla is a brother-in-law of the
slam man, and is reputed to own two
houses here and other real estate. 1t
was said at his home early this morn
ing that he had been out all night. The
police are watching the house and have
their dragnet out. not only here, but in
Hoboken and neighboring towns.

SEARS PREPARING
FOR HIS DEATH n
ELECTRIC CHAIR
Murderer of Rev. A. L. Arm.
strong and Wife Dies
This Week. y

AMI L Armstrong, the venerable
Dutch Neck clergyman, and his wife,
Annie Armstrong. In their home on
Thanksgiving ave. is to die in the cleo
trio chair at the New Jersey state
prison this week.
Sears seems little concerned over his
approaching end. and the indications
are that he will meet death with the
same nonchalance and GOODNESS that
has marked the sequence of events
which followed the murder, his arrest,
trial, conviction and sentence.
He eats and sleeps we'll, is cheerful
and talks freely with his keepers. He
spends the greater part of his time In
religious meditation. and Is visited daily
by the prison chaplain, the Rev. DR..
George C. Maddox, and the Rev.
Charles H. Elder, pastor of Trinity M.
E. Church, who has beer his spiritual
adviser since his conviction. and who
accompanied him from h county jail
to the death-house at the prison.
Sears will be accompanied to the
death chair by both the Rev. DIR. ad-
dock and the Rev.. Mr.. Elder.
He will be the first Mercer county
murderer to suffer death by eieotroou-
ton.

GRIM DEATH WILL WIN
CHILD'S GAME OF TAG.
Girl Falls Fifty Feet Over Pal
isades.
Especial to the Newark start

UNION HILL, March 13.-Death will
be the grim inner in the children's
game of tag on the Palisades yester-
day, surgeons say. in which dark
haired Freda Roth, aged 8, was lit.
With a laugh IN her lips the child
somersaulted fifty feet down from
Kings Bluff to the Erie tracks, and
was picked up with blood mating her
pretty brown curls and her tiny body
crushed and mangled.
AT the North Hudson Hospital, where
she was taken, no hope is entertained
for her recovery. Jane Nipple, her
playmate, aged II, made a frantic
clutch at the little figure as 1t dis
appeared over the bluff. She reached
F'reda's skirt, but her fingers did not
close upon the fabric, so quickly did
she fall. Had a friendly bush stayed
the little ones fall for a moment she
would probably have been saved. AS 1t
was, however, Jane nearly toppled off
the bluff herself.
Fifty children were playing "te g.
when the accident happened. They had
been warned not to venture near the
edge of the bluff, but forgetful of the
warning in their play had hirted with
death all the afternoon.

NO PASSENGERS WERE
KILLED BY PENNSYLVANIA.

PHILADELPHIA, March 13.-Not a
single passenger out of 1856, 600, 900 car
ried on the Pennsylvania railroad in
1910 was killed in a train accident.
This is brought out in a report issued
by the company, giving accident sta
tistics for the years 1908, 1909 and 1910
for the lines east of Pittsburg and Erie,
including the Pennsylvania railroad
proper, the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington, the Northern Central railD
way. the Cumberland Valley, the Mary
land, Delaware and Virginia railway,
the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Allan
tic railway, the West Jersey and the
Long Island railroad.
Combining the statistics for 1903, 1909
and 1910, it is shown that in that time
the number of passengers carried on
the lines east of Pittsburg and Erie
was 81, S58, 277-more than four times
as many persons as there are In the
United States, and only one of them
was killed as a result of a train wreck.

Thirty Years

WIFE OPENS LETTERS;
TROUBLES INCREASE
Charles D. Foulkes Advertises,
Then Implores POstOffice to
SidetraCk Answers.

1t is vastly probable that when
Charles d. Foulkes, of 81 Centre street,
advertised in the newspapers for a
non-blonde, non-drinking and nom
lying wife, he was doing 1t for purposes
of nagging his spouse. for the matter
of the fact Is hat he's got a light"
haired wife now, with a perfectly good
Philadelphia wedding certificate and
seven children.
In spite of his possession of a wife
already, and in spite of his age, which
isn't so, as he says, but nearer 62, ne
inserted the following personal ad
"Widower-Aged 80, good position,
some means, very affectionate and
good-natured, wishes the acquaintance
of a lady between % and 80; object
matrimony; no blondes, liars or drunk
ards need answer"
And he signed his name and his
address to that n then waited for 1t
to appear. SO that his wife might see
it in the paper.
Anybody would naturally hin that
Mr.. Foulkes, being 81, having six
children all grown up, settled down and
married in Philadelphia, would have
been content to rest IN his laurels and
remain an honest bookkeeper for an
honest Wall street firm during his sun
set days.
Married a widow.
But he had no such idea. he set OUT
to get married again, and went to
Philadelphia and married Mrs. Mary
4 Struber, AZ months ago. Mrs. Struber
had a little daughter to add to the
six children of her husband.
It should have been ideally domestic
1t was exactly the opposite, with roll
ing-pins and cuss words heaved In from
the very first week. Mr.. Foulkes criti-
cised his w1fe's hair and her child, and
her cooking, and his wife criticised him
back. 1t got to the point where, q
couple of months after the marriage,
she would take her child to Philadel-
phia for a week, and when she returned
Mr.. Foulkes would even cast asper
sions on the city she had been visit
ing.
And, finally. of course, 1t got to the
point where he placed the advertise
ment in the paper. That brought trou-
BILE for fair. The couple had been
making a pretense at living together al

pies. The same as in Eaton and other
apple producing counties of the state,
the outlook for Northern Spy and
Baldwin apples is not as great as had
been hoped for, and the yield of these
particular varieties will not be large,
However there will be other varie.
ties of winter fruit to take the place
of these, and the quality Of all the
fruit will be in most cases much
above the average Of previous years.
The marked increase in the use OF
spraying outfits during the past two
seasons, and particularly this season,
Is doing away largely with the in
sects that have been causing a lot of
trouble to the fruit growers, and the
general effect of what has been ac
complished through systematic work
along this line is going to be worth
thousands of dollars to the fruit

ing an accused person, apprise him of
his rights and allow him to confer
with counsel should he so desire.
Officers frequently start with the
wrongful impression that man
suspected of crime must be guilty. In
dealing with case, do so with an un-

He was followed by the Rev Caro-

incident, unique in history, the meet
ing of Federal and Confederate vet

which began with a sermon by Rev.
