LUSTIG TO BE TRIED AGAIN
Court Points Out Two Errors in
Case of Condemned Uxoricide.

The opinion Of the Court Of Appeals writ
ten by Justice Gray which reverses the
Judgment In the case of Maurice NJ. Lus-
t,g sentenced to death for poisoning his
wife by Judge Foster in General Sessions,
reached Stanley L. Richter, Of the appeal
bureau of the District Attorneys office,
Yesterday. The opinion said that as the
evidence against Lustig was purely cir
cumstantial It is necessary to guard es-
pecially against errors in admitting or re-
fusing evidence A new trial was ordered
on two errors.
DR.. Ernest f. Smith was called by the
prosecution. He performed the autopsy
after Rhoda Irene Lustigs body had been
exhumed. He said he had found strych-
nine in the liver, and that strychnine pois-
oring was the primary cause OF death.
Another exrert called by the prosecution
said that he found no strychnine in the
liver.
On cross-examination DIR. Smith was
asked II he had made the correct test for
s,rvchnine. He answered that he had in
tended to, but that he may have omitted
some detail" Counsel for the defence
then asked him to describe the test he
had MADE. All oOJeCuoh was iiio"0' e'''
he was not allowed TO do so.
The second ruling which the Court OF
Appeals named as an error was In refus-
Ing to allow witness called by the de-
fence to testify as to conversation held
with Mr.. and Mrs. Livingston the drug
gist and his wife from whom 1t was al
legged Lustig obtained the poison) regard
ing Lustig Counsel for the defence said
that that conversation would show hos
tility on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Livings-
ton toward Lustig.
Mrs. Rhoda Irene Lustig died on Octo-
Der %, 1909. She was insured for $4,000 In
favor Of her husband. and the following
May he was convicted Of murder. The IN
auiry into her death was taken up after
Mrs Livingston had written an anonymous
letter to the Coroner.

a nervous strain while at the Baltimore

ertions in pushing the Gaynor band wagon

cover more quickly If he had a real vaca-
ton, but his duties are so pressing 1t VIII
be possible 10 get away only on Saturday
afternoons and Sundays during the hot
weather, and that is why IT will take all
summer to recuperate.
The Sheriff will go to Rockaway Beach
every Saturday afternoon, as he did yester-
day, and salt dips and ocean breezes he
hopes will put him on his feet again.
1T certainly was a grand MILL" said the
Sheriff yesterday. referring 10 the conven-
ton. THE best ones generally go only ten
rounds ] stayed with the Mayors candi-
dacy during forty-siX rounds and then
flopped to Wilson. All, II was a grand
fight I'm hot for Wilson; just as not as
! was for the Mayor and, believe me, this
will be some election"
The Sheriff is not bothered because he
will set precedent IN taking his vacation
piecemeal Within two feet Of the rocking
chair which he will occupy on Saturdays
and Sundays will be a telephone, which Will
keep him in touch with his Job and the
world at large, and while he IS In swim
ming there will be messenger on the
beach ready to signal him in second II he
is needed.
THE speeches I delivered In Baltimore
wore on my nerves" said the Sheriff. Il
spoke a great deal"
One thing that comforts Mr.. Hamburger
