BELIEVES THAT WOMAN
MADE MONKEY OF COURT.
lspeolal % the Newark star.l

MAYS LANDING, May 5.-Notice
was served upon attorneys for Fred
erick Reiners. George Montgomery and
Thomas Thrill yesterday by officers
from the county prosecutor that the
indictment against the trio OF the
charge OF conspiracy against Mrs,
Reiners would be again moved on No y
22, the jury in the first trial having
disagreed. At that time an %investi-
cation will be made by the court OF
the charge that Mrs. Reiners was paid,
it is alleged, the sum of $1,000 to stay
away.
Counsel for Reiners say the money
was pail as part of alimony, and that
they knew nothing whatever about her
disappearance. They say they desire
an opportunity to closely examine her
about the nights when the constable
went with her through the red light"
district of Atlantic City. and that they
want to have a jury say not guilty"
before they rest.
The only difficulty is Mrs. Reiners,
who is now living at her home in
Brooklyn and refuses to return to
prosecute. Whether she can be forced
to appear and testify against the man
from whom she is nov divorced is a
legal question. "Reiners had a per
feet right to pay her that $1,000" says
the prosecutor. But the circum-
stances. l must admit, are suspicious.
The fact that she left immediately
afterwsrd makes 1t look as though
she used the indictment to extort the
money from him and make a monkey
Of the court" The case will be tried
again if It Is at all possible.
