RICHARD HEWITT
COMMITS SUICIDE
Former Bridgetonian Shoots
Himself.
MIND WEAKENED,
Killed Man Year Ago and the
Matter Has Long Preyed
on His Mind.

Worry over the killing of man by
his automobile is believed to have been
the cause of DR.. Richard W. Hewitt, a
Camden veterinarian, committing sui
eide yesterday afternoon He shot
himself in the head with a pistol usu-
ally used in killing horses, and COM
mitted the deed while in his automo-
bile. Death was instantaneous.
Doctor Hewitt was AZ years old, and
the proprietor of the Camden Veter-
mary Hospital. He resided at 578
Benson street About a year ago, in
Broadway, Camden, the automobile
driven by him killed a man. The case
was presented to the grand jury
which found mo bill". This exonera-
ton did not relieve Doctor Hewitt and
he continued to worry over the affair.
He was on the Browning road near
the Haddonfield turnpike yesterday af-
ternoon when tire blew out. Joseph
Allen, his assistant, was told to board
a trolley car and bring out new tire.

Allen had not gone dozen yards
when Doctor Hewitt called out: Good
by, old man." and as he turned the
shot was fired and Doctor Hewitt fell
dead.
The pistol used was loaded with a
three-inch piece of steel and this was
forced out by a blank cartridge. 1t
was imbedded almost it's length in the
skull, penetrating the brain. Doctor
Saunders, the coroner, had much diff
Guilty in removing it.
DR.. Richard w. Hewitt was born in
Bridgeton and lived here for many
years. He was the son of former Post
master William Hewitt, who resided
at Cohansey and Laning streets. The
younger Hewitt married Miss Belle
Bacon, young lady of this city.
DR.. Hewitt was for some time in
the employ of the United States Gov
ernment as an inspector, and lived
some time in the West.
In Camden he was a most prominent
young man in his profession and had
been successful.

BARN STEALING
LONG CONTINUED
albert Lupton in Jail in Con-
sequence.
He TOOK MANY THINGS
Cumberland Glass Company Lost a
Vast Amount of Things from
Its Barn.

For some time articles have been
missing from the barn of the Cumber-
land Glass Co. The articles known to
have been taken away were horse feed,
in small quantities, mostly, but in one
instance, as much as over 100 pounds;
pairs of chain traces, and two horse
collars.
Suspicion pointed to Albert Lupton,
a man who had a habit of going to
his home from the works by way of
hole in the fence; not using the gate
way.
Lupton's home is out Chestnut ave-
nue., where he keeps team of horses.
Finally Isaac Shoemaker procured
search warrant, and Constable L. D.
Woodruff, armed with the warrant,
which was issued by Justice of the
Peace Francis S. Mckee, Jr., searched
the mans premises. In the hay loft,
under pile of bags, the constable
found horse collar, which was iden-
titled as one belonging to the Cumber-
land Glass Co.
Some chain traces were also found
on the premises, but these were not
positively identified as yet.
Lupton, who was supposed to be at
work at the factory, while the search
was going on, suddenly appeared in
the barn. He was arrested on the
charge of larceny and committed to
Jail for hearing before Justice Nc
Kee next Friday night.
Justice Mckee being out Of town at
the time of his arrest, the commitment
was made by Justice Arthur C. Null
ford.

KNIGHTS ARE
CAMPING THIS WEEK

The knights of Marion, of the Pearl
Street Baptist Church, are enjoying a
week of camping out in the woods
near the city. Twelve boys are in the
encampment all or part of the time.
The camp is in charge of Sir Knight
Thomas Ewing, assisted by Marshall
Russell Henderson. Fishing, boating,
bathing, cooking are among the varied
activities of the day. The pastor,
Rev. E. B. Freeman. Pendragon, has
supervision over the camp and spends
considerable time with the boys. The
boys are having the time of their lives
is the report that came from the first
day and night in the woods.

CUMBERLAND
COURT REVERSED

The supreme court has reversed the
court of common pleas of Cumberland
county in the suit brought by the state
board of health against the Whitall-
Tatum company. which resulted in the
direction of verdict for the defend
ant company following the exclusion
as evidence of an analysis of a SAM
pie of vinegar sold by an employe of
the company.
Thls was an action under the pure
food act of the state and in the pri-
mary action the justice of the peace
admitted the analysis, which the court
of common pleas afterwards excluded.
The supreme court said that the Judge
made a finding of facts, and having
found the facts the question then be-
came one of law on a tender of de-
livery of the goods.
The supreme court further says it
is of the opinion that there was shown
conclusively delivery of the goods.
THE facts found were that Richards.
who made the sale, was behind the
counter, and Townsend the inspector,
in front of it; that Townsend said,
This is sample and notice left for
the purpose of analysis in this case"
and then put the bottle and notice on
the counter in front of Richards. This,
we are inclined to think, showed de-
livery, but it plainly showed a tender.
The proof of analysis should, there
fore, have been received in evidence.

ELkS PARTY
At BALTIMORE
Jolly Party Sails for Mary
land.
INCIDENTS ON THE TRIP
Some Of the Party Deserted the
Boat and Took the Shore
Route,

The party of Bridgeton Elks who
left on Sunday on the schooner
Grips intending to spend a week
down the Chesapeake and visit the
Democratic convention at Baltimore,
| arrived in the convention city on
Monday night, after an unusual series
of delays.
The trip down on Sunday was de-
hghtful, and the boys had an excel
lent sail, arriving at Delaware City
about three o'clock in the afternoon.
The rules of the canal company de-
| layed the party for two nours, because
they could not go in the canal locks
| until five o'clock, and the time was
spent sightseeing about the old city,
and visiting the modern Notifications
at Fort DUPONT
The stay in Delaware City was made
a pleasant one through the courtesy
of Past Exalted Ruler Ball, of Will
mington lodge of Elks, who enter
tdlASu Vie DOyS nOSI royalty.
Promptly at five o'clock the schoon-
er was admitted to the canal, and the
trip through to Chesapeake City made
without special incident other than the
many interesting sights along the way.
Arriving on the Maryland side of the
canal, the schooner was tieo up for
the night, rather than to risk the wind
ing channel out to the bay, and the
party entertained the residents with a
night.
Heavy fogs in the morning delayed
the early start until after seven
o'clock, and when the schooner did
get under way the trip was going
beautifully until the vessel grounded
on one of the treacherous river flats
and was forced to lay there until late
in the afternoon, when a tug pulled
them off and finally towed them into
Baltimore.
Meanwhile four of the party who
| were due to arrive in Bridgeton on
Tuesday morning, went ashore and
started to walk back to Chesapeake
| City, with the idea of going on the
Lord Baltimore which was due to pass
| through at two O'Clock. The shore
party lost their way in the woods, and
had about a twelve mile tramp before
| they found their way back, and finally
got aboard the Erickson line steamer.
Meanwhile the boys on the schooner
had secured the tug, and were being
pulled off the fats. The entire party
| arriving in Baltimore and meeting at
the Elks later in the evening.
In spite of the delays they found
lots of fun out of the trip, and spent
| a great night in the convention throngs
that now packs the southern city.
At the Hotel Emerson, Lawyer Sam
uel Iredell, Exalted Ruler of Bridge
ton lodge of Elks, is with the Wilson
party, and he is one of the busiest
men in Baltimore. However, he found
time to decorate the boys with badges
and procure tickets for the conven-
ton hall.
The four Elks who took the shore
route arrived home on Tuesday morn
ing, coming through on a sleeper,
while the rest of the party are spend
ing day in Washington, and will be
back in Baltimore for the big day of
the convention.

before going to deliver them. He
found several OF the clerks busy clos,
ing up the books, and he showed that
he was genuine book agent by
starting In to talk against time. Bill
knew what he was after, and he got It,
after waiting an hour. Bill saw that
the cashier. whose name was Bell
locked up the vault. He used two sets
OF keys. one for the inner door to the
small safe and the other for the big
iron outside door. He put the keys
In different pockets. Bill was close

1T would have been easy to take the
next step, which would be to get the
keys and open the safe. That Is what
some thieves would have done. but
had a better trick up my sleeve,
which came out OF my caution, and
would aid us in making escape easy.
1t was developed in this way: The
same night Bill found out about the
keys, We made call at Cashier Bells
house after the family had retired.
We did not care to disturb their slum-
bers. so we entered the house through
q parlor window. Bill had located the
room In which the cashier slept, and
went there noiselessly. Either the
cashier or his wife had a beautiful
snore, and | need not have been so

door of the bank in wax, and all the
measures necessary. | then returned
to the cashiers house and replaced the
keys in his pockets just as had found
them. We closed up the house and
went home.
I Immediately went to work on the
keys. They used to say was the best
keymaker in the world. 1t took me
about day to file the keys.

clerks were present at their desks, as
the books were kept in another safe,
which was in charge OF the head book

TO take out some bills to put In the
