SAYS JURORS
ARE BIASED
Not known When Excise
Case Will be Tried.

New Brunswick, Feb. I4:--When
asked when he would continue the
trial OF excise cases, Prosecutor
Booraem said that he did not know.
'tIt has come to my knowledge
that jurors ON the present panel
have stated that they would not find
the defendants guilty of excise vio-
lettons on The evidence OF detec-
tives," he added.
Asked as to the impression In
soma quarters that these excise
cases have cost the county great
sums of money the Prosecutor pro-
duced a statement of the expenses OF
gathering the evidence and state
ment of the fines collected.
"Of course we are not speculating
In crime and have made no effort
to have the fines amount to more
than the expenses, but 1t has SO hap
pened. Taking the result of investi-
cation of excise cases since we start
ed In to do this very unpleasant
work, I And that the fines imposed
amount to $4,780, of which the bulk
has been collected. One fine not
collected, according to the sheriff,
is s4,755, from Dennis Donovan.
"The county has paid to Ferd A.
David, not to the David Agency, $2,-
1887 for his work and to the
Drummond Agency an amount un-
der $1,000. I have not the exact
figures here. AS a result of Da-
vid's work, fines of $500 have
been levied. So you see the county
is not out any money"

WORKS
CLEVER TRICK
Reached Through Window
and Stole SAG from Pocket.
From the New York Herald.

l-fa
According to the story told by Ja-
cob Katz, OF 398 Division street, q
robbery OF unusual boldness was
made In his sleeping apartments last
night, $46 being taken from the
pocket of his trousers while he slept,
Mr.. Katz says that he sold lot
of meat yesterday for which he re-
ce!ys6 sac, which included two $40
bills and some small bills His
sleeping apartments are on the
ground floor at 393 Division street,
there being window opening on
the lot alongside OF the house. His
wife and children sleep in bed on
one side of the window, while he
occupied bed on the other side. On
retiring, he placed bis trousers on a
small table near the window, and In
advertently left the window un-
locked.
On arising this morning he found
his trousers on the floor by the win
dow and the money gone. One of
his stockings which had lain with
the trousers, he found outside on
the ground. In the snow were foot
prints. The window had been closed
again after the robbery and SO qui-
etly had the burglars worked that
neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Katz nor the
children had been awakened.
Mr.. Katz thinks that some negroes
who formerly lived in the neighbor-
hood had something to do with the
robbery as they were seen near the
window talking yesterday afternoon.
J. Katz, a son OF Mr.. Katz, conducts
a grocery store at 1870 Fayette
street. Detective Sergeants Huff and
Long are working on the case.
