Annie Tighe the most striking char
acter of the Newark police courts, who
has served 273 jail and penitentiary
sentences in the last fifteen years,
found an asylum at last when Judge
Hahn today sent her, at his own ex
pense, to New York institution for in
ebriates.
Her pitiful career, which has made
her the worst known police court
woman in Newark has caused her to
serve almost fourteen out OF the past
fifteen years in jail.
She has been in the Caldwell peni-
tertiary twenty three times serving
an average of seventy eight days each
time, or 1910 days in all The county
Jail has sheltered her $50 times, with
an approximate of 5000 days in jail.

the final preparation for the arraign-
ment of Rev Clarence V. T. Richeson,
in the Superior Court today to plead to
the grand jury indictment charging him

Although, according to information
obtained a few days after Richesons
arrest three weeks ago, the preacher
remarked, when told of Miss LinnelPs
death, that he failed to see why he
should be informed of 1t, 1t has been
definitely established, the police report,
that the accused man and his victim
actually visited the home of another
clergyman and asked him to marry
them on a date not fixed at the time.
The Importance of that point can
readily be realized in the light of the
prosecutions avowed intention of MAX

tween Avis Linnell and the young pas

case Until the discovery that Riche-
son and the music student. who died
after taking cyanide of potassium in
the Y. w. c. A. a month ago had gone
so far in their plans for marriage as
to consult clergyman, the police say,
the fact the two were betrothed never

Virginia Wife-Slayer
Loses Last Hope
in Fight.

RICHMOND Va. Nov. 1S.-The Su-
IRENE Court of Appeals today denied
the petition for writ of error by
Henry Clay Beattie. ir., convicted of
numbering his young wife last July
This decision on the appeal from the
judgment of the Chesterfield court,
which sentanced him to die in the cleo
trio chair November a is final Glenn
ency or reprieye by Governor Mann
only can save the condemned man.
The announcement of the fact today
that the Supreme Court failed to grant
the new trial on the writ of error ap-
Piled for threw CONSERVATION into the
camp of the attorneys for Beattie.
Not for a moment did they let their
client believe that h could not have
a new ~ial. 1t is said that Beattie
was confident he would be given an
other chance and that at the second
trial he would gain his freedom.
This hope gave him courage and his
days in Jail were spent telling the
guards, optinistieally. that he would
not long Re their prisoner, and that he
hoped in the near future to walk the
streets free man.
The man charged with numbering his
wife while they were out automobile
riding is d model prisoner. Despite the
fact that evidence brought out at the
trial pointed to horrible murder, in
which a shotgun was used, Beattie did
not give the impression to the guards
that he was capable of anything so
brutal. He is at all times the polished
gentleman, fastidious about his clothes
and clean about his person. His talk
at all times is about the future, and
his plans for regaining the esteem of
his fellow man. His confidence and
his kindness to the guards won their
sympathy and their respect.
The decision of the Supreme Court
shocked Beattie immeasurably, and,
further than exclaiining my Cod"
he uttered not a word.

City Under Fire Patrol
During Strike by
Cleaners.
HEALTH BOARD
MAY ACT TODAY
Sanitary Officials Fear
Spread of Disease From
Piles of Refuse.

NEW -ORK, Nov. 1S.-If the gar
bage gatherers' strike is not broken
today the health department will step
in to save New York from the evil
effects of 10000 carloads of refuse that
have accumulated since the men who
drive the street cleaning departments
wagons quit work because they OBJ
jeoted to night hou- j. Fear of the
strikers and their friends has kept
professional strilxe-b breakers from ac-
cepting the high wages the city offers
for substitutes, and dread of the team
sters' union has prevented contractors
from bidding to perform the work
usually done by the city department.
Actually the health department in
teryened today when its men took out
several hundred barrels Of disinfectant
to sprinkle on the piles of rotting gar
bage in the poorer and more thickly
populated districts. If the health au-
thorities assume fsll charge of the
situation the strike leaders say that
they will permit their teamsters to
serve as garbage collectors provided
they do not have to work at night.
The cold wave came to the city's as
sstance today The freezing tempera-
ture which prevailed early IN the day
was as good a disinfectant as the city
physicians could desire The high
winds, however, scattered the rubbish
and practically undid all the good that
came from the cold.
For the second time in its history the
city was under fire patrol today. In
every district fireman with length
of hose and hydrant wrench paced the
sidewalks, watching for fires In the
mounds of refuse. The department. has
had considerable trouble already from
these blazes, most of which are started
by children.
