TimmonS Case
To Jury Today

Patrick B. Timmons, the expert New
ark accountant on trial for arson and
mansaughter in Jersey City. will
probably know his fate late this eve.
ming
His trial. marked by the desperate
effort of his former friend, now a con-
vict. to save him by repudiating a
former confession, Is the last act OF a
strange drama, Involving defalcation
arson. the death of one man and pc
culiar interplay OF friendship and fdel-
ity.
Timmons had friend samuel
Brown. formerly boolSlseeper Tor the
Long Dock Milling Company, Jersey
City. Brown stole some of the firms
money. He called upon Timmons TO
save him. Tlmmons left his wife and
children on Sunday night In August
to answer this call of friendship. That
night the Office Of the company was
burned. lightning Walsh was found
dying from burns in the building.
But Walsh. true to his idea of friend l.
ship, shielded his friends when diving.
II was an accident, he said
1t was Brown who confessed and
thr W the blame on Timmons and
Walsh. and Brown was the first to be
tried. He was convicted for arson and
manslaughter and given eighteen
months on each charge.
Apparently he had gone back on the
mon whom he himself said had tried
to befriend him. But taken from iail
to testify against Timmons. he tried tn
redeem himself by swearing. despite
every effort to shake him, that the
confession upon whica he was con
victed, insofar as 1t involved Timmons.
was untrue.
