NOT GUILTY OF
MANSLAUGHTER
Motorman on Trial Is Acquit,
ted by Jury.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, May S:-John
H. Pagan, of Midtown, for
merly of Easton, Pa, charged with
manslaughter in having run down
William Harkins, son OF former
Street Commissioner William F.
Harkins, while running a Public Ser
vice car down Easton avenue April
8. was found not guilty today.
The defense to the suit was that
George Rush, tho driver of the milk
wagon with which the trolley car
collided, knocking the Harkins boy
out of the wagon underneath the car,
was negligent in not having avoided
the car which he had ample oppor-
runity to see.
The witnesses for the state told Of
the accident and also gave testimony
to the car which killed the boy,
having been operated under the d.
rection of Prosecutor George S, Sill
ger and tested as to the workings
Of the brakes. Patrolman James H.
Hardy, a former motorman, had
run 1t on the line upon which the
accident had occurred at the same
speed 1t was going at the time OF
the accident and had stopped the
car within fifty feet.
The state claimed Pagan was neg
ligent in that he should have brought
up the car without hitting the wag-
on, having had plenty Of time to
do so. Lawyer Howard Mac
Sherry, for the defense, moved for a
direction of verdict for the defend
ant which the court denied. In open
ing the case for the defense he held
Rush was to blame and not Pagan.
that he could have see UP the street
from 400 to 500 feet, but hat he
was so surrounded with boys in the
wagon and on the step. there being
four boys in thte party, that he
could not properly drive his own
wagon. The ringing of the trolley
bell had nothing to do with the case,
the bell being intended as a warn
ing and not to give notice to those
who can see a car approaching.
Motorman Pagan testified to hav-
ing been a machinist prior to his
becoming a motorman on February
5, 1912. He had been instructed at
the company's school In Newark and
had run cars on the Perth Amboy
and city lines. being an extra man,
He was about CT feet away from
the wagon when he first saw 1t and
was running the car at II miles an
hour. He slowed up, thinking the
wagon was going to cross the tracks
and when six feet from the wagon
plugged the car and skidded into it.
He did all he could to stop the car.

ling to hear anything about the

We do not hear of any refusal of
the president to permit Southern
delegates to the Republican national
convention to vote for him, but he is
taking great pains to pass on the
other side of all unpleasant details
involved in arranging for this support
Of his candidacy. ....
The Republican party in the South
is permanent scandal. 1t has no
following. since its Negroes have been
disfranchised and its whites ostra-

who in every way are a credit to the
organization, which secured Its char

congressional records, late editions
of current literature, and volumes
from our best authors. The pool and
billiard room is also quite a feature.
The whist-room is large and well fit

many hard fought games, which
would command the criticism Of the

The POWER OF AN ATTORNEY
FACTS IN THE TODD CASE.

Atty. McGhee claims he sent money to
Atty. Gray in Liberia. Has not pro-
duced receipts. Miss Lucille Todd
witness. Atty. w. r. Morris shows
records and receipts as Guardian.
Minors robbed of inheritance.
Miss Lucille Todd, a former resi-
dent of Liberia and student at Olaf
lin University, is in the city to re-
cover money due her brother as bene-
ficiary in the will of her father, the
late julius G. Todd. Mr.. Todd was
well known property owner of this
city, who migrated to Africa, with his
wife and children.
A Sad Story.
One month after arriving at his
destination he died, and his wife and
infant baby died week later, leav-
ing the four children, boys and l
girl, Aaron, Lathrop, Cornelius and
Lucille. Mr.. Todd left will and The
House and lot, TIC 18th Ave. So. Atty.
w. r. Morris was appointed guardian
of the children in 1895. In 1897 Atty.
Fred L. McGhee received the Power
of Attorney for the elder children, Lu-
ellie and Cornelius, through lawyer.
P. o. Gray of Liberia, and also ap-
pointment as guardian for Aaron and
Lathrop, the minor children. Atty.
Morris filed his last guardians report
in the office of Clerk of Probate
Court, Oct. 10, 1898. He paid to Nc
Ghee the share of the estate due the
children, and has receipts for same.
The minors never received any mo-
ney, says Lucille, and McGhee says he
sent the money to Gray,
Miss Todd has had upon her the
care of her younger brothers, and al
so attended school. Lathrop was
killed in the battle of Sakoka, Cape
town, in 1910. Aaron is being cared
for by friends Lucille and Cornelius
have received their share Of the mo-
ney paid by Atty. Morris (Iess law
yers' commission to p. o. Gray and
r. L. McGhee), but the minors have
not received their share. Atty. Nc
Chez claims that he sent the money
to Gray, but has not produced re-
ceipts or orders to show his claim.
Atty. McGhee is legally liable for this
amount-and legal action will be TAX
en- to recover damages. Atty. w. r..
Morris represents Miss Todd, who Is
at present living at Annandale. We
do not doubt that Atty. McGhee sent
the money, IL he did not, he has on
ly followed the precedent laid down
by many Negro lawyers, who have
lived on such practices, during whose
life as "shysters at the bar" who on
ly use that legal right "the Power Of
Attorney" as a means to Rob their
clients. regardless of circumstances.
Atty Morris has the record Of every
transaction in this case, and, every
one knows that his record is honor
able and the word of w. r. Morris
Is held in the highest respect by the
judiciary. Atty. McGhee is also a
smart" lawyer-as the records will
show). As rule trickery and dis
honesty are the qualifications of a
Smart Negro lawyer" Atty. McGhee
is brilliant man and Negro law
yer of local reputation.
