CRIMINAL COURT CONCLUDED.
w. J. Cockfield Acquitted Of
Charge of Murder.

AS the paper went to press last
Thursday the case of the State VS. W
] Cockfeld, murder, and ] H V Cas-
kins, accessory after the fact, was
being tried. On the testimony ad-
duced the Solicitor consented to a
verdict of not guilty as to Cas-
kins, there being insufficient evi-
dence against him to press the
charge
The case against Cockfeld was
contested vigorously on both sides.
Solicitor ;toll made a brilliant effort
for CO ion, while Messrs Lee 4
Fisht md H G Askins handled
the de with mastery skill.
Thursuay afternoon the case went
to the jury and after short period
Of deliberalon, verdict OF not
guilty was rendered.
The crime with which Cockfeld
was charged occurred in Lake City
December 4. 1910, and our readers
are familiar with the circumstances
of the killing. A carnival company
which had been exhibiting there was
packing up to leave when some time
after midnight one Of the employees
of the show.a negro boy named
Henry Alphonso. was shot dead. The
crime was deliberate and unpro-
vokei, arousing great indignation
among the better element OF the
town people. The main ground OF
defense was an alibi, which means,i in
effect, that the accused man was else
where when the crime was COM
mitted. As we were unable to hear

any Of the evidence we are not COM
petent to pass on the justice Of the
verdict, but the jury evidently be-
lieved that the State failed to make
out its case. At any rate. the mur-
der of Henry Alphonso, the friend
less negro, will probably be- num-
bered with the large. list Of crimes
unavenged to.be dealt with at the
final day of reckoning, when all
secrets in the heart of man shall be
laid bare.
The last CASE tried was the State
vs. ] P Wheeler, storing alcoholic
liquors. The jury failed to agree
and mistrial was ordered.
In the above case Joe Brown, a
witness called by the State, changed
his testimony from that he had given
at the preliminary hearing as to so
nearly knock the props" from un-
der the Solicitor that the latter ask
ed the court that Joe be held for
perjury until he could procure a
warrant for him. This request was
granted and Joe was turned over to
the Sheriff and is now under war
rant to answer for perjury.

cTa HERE has been so much scandal and odium attached to the
office of justice Of the peace in late years that the people of
New Jersey would be heartily glad to get rid of it. The
method of selecting the justices is the worst that could be conceived
OF. Their names are placed on the tails of local tickets, nobody in
qumes how or why, and the ticket is voted without any notice being
taken of these names. Lucifer could get elected Justice of the peace
in New Jersey. 1t is in this Office that the sacrament of marriage is
performed. II is here that the supreme relationship in life of two
human beings is consummated. When the character and pracises
of many of the justices are considered the thought is revolving to the
mind. The legislature has to a large extent put a restraint upon
the rapacity of the justice of the peace in cities, but it has not
gone far enough. II should strip the Office of its misplaced and
grossly abused power to perform marriages. Ri. Rev. John A. Shep-
pard, yicargeneral of the Newark diocese, is and has been one of the
prime movers in the effort to put an end to such practses, And we
believe. now that the subject has been brought up, that the Legisla-
ture will act in accordance with the moral sentiment of the people of
the State and put an end to an evil that does so much harm. 1t may
be affirmed that a large proportion of the marriages by justices of
The peace are unfit and immoral and involve consequences seriously
harmful to the race. The sequel OF many of these marriages may be
found in our criminal courts, our almshouses and asyums.

FRIDAY EVENING. DECEMBER %, 1911.
A PLAN FOR HARBOP DEVELOPMENT.

NV EW YORK Dock Commissioners Calvin Tomkinss exposition OF
AN his plans for the development of New York harbor and its
surroundings in the Board of Trade rooms last night showed
a broad grasp of the problem presented. Mr.. Tomkins rightly says
that harbor development and the betterment of freight terminal
facilities is a question for both sides of New York harbor and one
for the two States to jointly deal with. The situation should be
treated as a unit. Commerce does not know State lines and It's
facilities should not recognize State boundaries. The east side of
New York harbor is congested today because all the federal appro-
prahons for harbor improvements have been expended on that side,
and naturally all the enterprise has gone there, too. The west side
has been neglected by the government, although it Is as much q
part of the harbor as the east. Owing to the shallow water of
Newark bay its shores have been left in their primitive condition
of morass. But the success of the Hudson tunnels has made prac-
teal the idea of great freight tunnels under the river for the use of
he railroads, with spacious yards west of the Bergen Hills, these
tunnels to connect with the contemplated terminal freight railroad
along the east bank of the Hudson from Sixheth street down. Mr..
Tomkins is right in saying that the true policy of the railroads is to
use tunnel facilities in common and not in rivalry. He also rightly
holds that the proposed freight tunnel and its approaches should be
constructed by the two States and be leased by them to the rail
roads at rentals enough to cover the cost and maintenance. The
proposition of Mr.. Tomkins involves the development of the Newark
meadows. As he says, port development has principally to do with
manufacturing interests, and Newark is a great manufacturing city
with unlimited opportunities, in Its meadows, for expansion.
