Hartwig, one of the nine witnesses
who testified at the trial. said that he
met Schroeder on the night of the sup
posed robbery after the patrolman had
reported to the station-house by tele-
phone the story which he a consist
entity repeated since his suspension.
The special officer said he had gone
with Schroeder to the drug store, had
entered through a broken window and
then had rome out again through the
door, for which the policeman pro-
duced a key.
Later In the morning" Hartwig tes-
titled, 81 me Schroeder and he told me
to say that I met him at South Sew
enth street and South Orange avenue,
and that we had seen two men going
toward South Orange avenue and that
we followed them to the yard in the
rear of the drug store
Schroeder explained his possession OF
the key by saying that he had found
It and forgot to return it before the
night he said the store was broken
into by two men.

has Judge Hers word that the Pas

not proper places for seeking a deep

He var arrested yesterday by Patrol
ma Reed, who eyed the sea-roli OF the

long experience in the lawful and un-
lawful ways of walking.
Meyer said he was a sailor. so years
old. Of $40 Fourth street, New York.
I've sailed almost everywhere in
the world" he told Judge Herr.
You weren't wise In choosing New
ark" said the Judge. Suppose you
sail back TO New York and sign for a
berth over there. The Passaic river
is not a reputable body of water, any
way. You can come back when the
ship canal is put through
