AND GROOM
HELD FOR PERJURY
Witnesses Must Also Answer
for False Statement Re-
garding Girls Age.

Complaints of perjury were made by
City Clerk Lincoln e. Rowley, of East
Orange. in the Police Court of that city
TODAY before Recorder Mott against
Mr.. and Mrs. William Beevers. Of 80
Centre street, Newark. the young
| couple who secured a marriage license
in East Orange on January 81 after
the girl, Frederick Jurgensen. Of 4
fremont avenue, Orange Valley. had
made affidavit she was 10 years old
when she was not IS. the legal age.
Nj. and Mrs. Gustave Zeihm, also
of IS Centre street, were defendants in
a similar charge made by Mr.. Rowley.
They acted as witnesses and made af-
fdavit they knew Of no legal impede
ment to the prospective marriage. All
four were paroled in the custody of
Charles NJ. Mason, their attorney, to
await action of the grand Jury.
Mrs. Anna Jurgensen, motner OF the
girl, was Used by Mr.. Rowley as his
witness against the young bride. The
two did not speak to each other dur
ing the hearing of the case. and when
Mr.. Mason suggested to Recorder Mott
1t would prove a good plan to ave all
hands meet in conference and attempt
10 dIIiiLdDl1 SGiAlt ~ AAAatN| 49,
further court action, neither made a
nov in approval.
Mr.. Mason sought to show it was re-
ligion that was at the bottom of the
trouble. The bridegroom, who is a
mason, earning s26 a week, so his
lawyer said, is a Protestant. while the
bride is a Catholic. They were mar
ried by a minister of the groom's
E.<4L - NJ Macnn 90 yu thax are
now willing to be married in accord
ance with the religious views of the
bride.
1t developed when the mother of the
girl went on the stand that the couple
had beer keeping company for two
years previous to their marriage, and
that Beevers gave the girl a diamond
ring. The mother insisted she had not
agreed to it being received by her
daughter as an engagement ring. The
mother went out with the pair on diff
ferent occasions but had not, she
said, stated her girl was over Is years
old two years ago.
In presenting his argument for a dis
missal of the complaints before agree
ing that they might be sent to the
grand jury, Mr.. Mason recited sew
eral cases to show when a person I'M
der age had committed an offense when
they were not of legal age they were
not punishable If they had been told
they were of proper age and SO be-
lieved.
He recited the case of Susan B. An
thony, the suffragette, convicted by the
courts on a voting proposition, and
which decision had been sustained by
the courts because she knew well she
could not vote, and of the boy whom
the Court of Errors and Appeals or
dered discharged after he had been con
victed of voting because he had been
told he was of legal age and so be-
lieved. The bride, Mr.. Mason, in this
case believed she was of legal age
and had been so told.

Eddie Ashenback, the well-known
minor league manager who died re-
Gently, was the inventor of the express
sion "bonehead," which, with con-

ivory" has become a byword in base
ball. When Ashenback was manag-
ing the Shreveport team of the South
ern league several years ago, he had
a good catcher, who could also hit
some, but he had the very serious
weakness Of not being able to gauge a
foul fly, no matter how easy it was.
One day batter raised high foul
directly over the plate, and the catch
er, mis1udging it, was hit squarely on
top of the head by the descending
sphere, which knocked off his mask
and bounded away about thirty feet.
That night Ashenback finished his
supper early and was passing out Of
the dining room when he happened
to walk behind his catcher, who was
devouring his evening meal with gusto
and enthusiasm. Stopping at the ta-

backstop's head, feeling for the bump

the ball that afternoon. But there
