christianity today Is christians There
is a difference between being n mem
Der of a church and being a christian
and if the churches received no new
members in the next five years but
succeeded in Transforming a vast ma
jority of the members into real live
true christians 1t would be the great
est and most successful evangelistic
movement in the history of the whole
church.

FOR BURGLARY
AT METUCHEN
CONTINUED from page ~

Sylvester ]. Shuck, Michael Master
son, New Brunswick; William A.
Nelson, William F. Fisher, Elmer
G.. Slater, Highland Park; John Mon
ahan, Jamesburg.
Lawyer Wilson was careful to keep
all Metuchen men from the jury and
had to use some of his challenges
for that purpose.
Before the jury was sworn Lawyer
Wilson asked leave to withdraw the
plea of not guilty and enter one of
guilty for the purpose of making a
motion. Prosecutor Silzer opposed
such a motion at this late day, claim
ing that it should have been made
long ago.
Mr.. Wilson attacked the trial Of
Henry as a highhanded piece of busi-
ness and charged that Governor Dix,
of New York, had been imposed upon
when request was made to him for
requisition papers. He intimated that
he would lay the matter before the
governor. All this was because the
papers on which Henry had been in
dicted was a complaint made by De-
tective John Ferguson and in which it
was alleged that Henry was wanted
for robbing the house Of G.. s. Wall
ing at Metuchen, whereas the indict-
ment was for robbing the house of
John Walling. Mr.. Wilson claimed
the state having extradicted Henry
for a specially stated crime could not
try him for another crime.
III the attention of the governor
of New York had been called to that
fact you would never have gotten the
man from New York. You must not
abuse the confidence of the governor
of New York. This defendant ought
to have a free run for his money"
"He will get it," interrupted Pros
ecutor Silzer.
HE hasn't started out we'll In that
way, but he will get it as long as l
am with him." retorted Lawyer Will
son.. eff this motion is denied, l
will apply to the governor OF New
York to revoke the requisition."
Judge DAILY told the lawyer that 1t
is true that the state cant manufac-
ture crime for e%xtradition purposes,
but that In the present motion there
was nothing but unsubstantial tech
nicalities. The real test, he ex-
planned, is whether a real act of
burglary had been committed In Me-
tuchen at a certain time, not whether
the initials of the man who owned
the house were G. H. or ]. He per-
mitted the defendant to change his
plea for the purposes of the motion
and then denied the motion. Lawyer
Wilson had an exception noted on the
court record and then changed Hen
rvs plea back to not guilty.
At this point the trial was ad-
journed until this morning.

HIS STEP-S0N

New Brunswick, Nov. 26:-Julius

Following his conviction he vas
