New Jersey Woman Accused O.
Striking at Trespassers.

PERTH AMBOY. n. j.. October 24-
Incensed because neighbors insisted upon
going upon her property to draw drink
ing water from we'll after she had re-
peatedly warned them to desist, Mrs.
Annie Symer of Francis street is alleged
to have put a jar filled with arsenic in
the water She was arrested by order
of the board of health, but locked in her
cell in the Jail here she sturdily main
tains her innocence of the crime for which
she is held.
For many months the Well at the rear
of Mrs. Symer's garden has been the
cause of a neighborhood feud. 1t is
noted for it's cold, clear water, and school
children were accustomed to visit it to
Stake their thirst Housewives in the
neighborhood preferred to replenish their
drinking supply from the well rather
than to use the water provided by the
city. Mrs. Symer last summer began to
war against the trespassers.
For several days there have been many
puzzling cases of illness. according to the
board of health. among the children liv-
ing near the Symer home. The symp-
toms in every instance resembled those
of arsenic poisoning.

INJUNCTION rs MODIFIED.
Justice Barnard Acts in Behalf of
Laundry Drivers.

An injunction recently granted by JUS
tice Barnard against Kenneth Skinner
and Joseph Harry was modified by the
justice today The terms of the former
injunction restrained the men from en-
aaging in the laundry business in this
city because of alleged violations of con-
tracts made with the Manhattan Laun-
dry Company, by which they had pre-
viously been employed
The pleadings show that after the men
had been for some time in the employ OF
the company they were required to sign
contracts agreeing not to solicit any OF
the business of the company and not to
engage in the laundry business in the
District for q period of one year after
they should leave the company's employ
ment
Attorneys S. McComas Hawkin and
John Ridout, representing the drivers,
commended that the contract was unrea-
sonable and should not be enforced.
Justice Barnard modified the inJunc-
ton and reserved the question as to the
validity of the contract until final hear
ing.
