/ don't think you took the team with the
express purpose of stealing it, as you
were loaded with liquor at the time. You
threatened to kill the justice, constable,
complainant, and all connected with the
case. While many people think you ought
to go to state prison, don't, and you
sentence is three months in the county
jail, which ought to be lesson to you.'

at Beverly several weeks ago, was fined

Chaplain Rogers. of New Egypt con-
victed of assaulting Bessie Emery, and
whose counsel, V. Claude Palmer, argued
for new trial on March 1, had his case
continued to March 81, as Judge Horner
stated he had not examined all the au-
thorities he wanted to see in the matter.
and was not yet prepared to render a
decision
The case of Joseph P. Fem. of Bur
lington, whose conviction of obtaining
money under false pretenses was approx
ed by the Supreme Court, is to be carried
to the Court of Errors and Appeals. Mr..
Fem was present with his bondsmen,
Rob ert G. Dunn, d. w. Powell and Will
liam r. Conard, and bail was renewed In
the sum of $4,000.
Thomas Brown, a wholesale LIQUOR
dealer and bother, of Burlington, whose
conviction for illegal sale of LIQUOR at
Roebling, was affirmed by the Supreme
Court, had intended to apply to Judge
Horner for remittance Of his sentence,
but changed his plans and appeared at
the sheriff's Office on Wednesday night
and entered upon his term of three
months in the county prison. He also
paid his fine of $500.
Dean Stanley Renwick, Camden law
yer, asked for the removal of Reginald
Branch as guardian for John E. Quigg, of
Beverly, on the ground that with an
estate valued at over 1000, no provision
had been made for the support of the
lunatic's wife; that the guardian had vio-
lated section of the Orphans act by not
filing an inventory within three months,
which, in the mind of counsel, amounted
to an abuse of the trust.
Since Mr.. Branch received his first
money on June 6, 1911, amounting to
little over $500, he had paid $3.50 to Mrs.
Quigg, and Judge Horner told Mr.. Rem
wick that there was not much chance for
a complaint against Mr.. Branch.
Howard Eastwood, counsel for Mr..
Branch, made reply which alleged that
Mrs. Quigg had made exorbitant de-
mands of the guardian since he received a
one-third interest in an estate which Quigg
inherited, amounting to between s., 900 and
$40, 900. She wanted a 5000 house and
other expensive luxuries. Mr. Eastwood
said that Qufgg was confined in the Bur-
lington county asylum, where his board
was paid regularly by the guardian.
Mrs. Quigg took the stand. She said
that as she had not received enough to
support her, she owed considerable money
and had to go to the wash tub to make q
living. She had received some advance
money, but did not know how much. She
had sold considerable of her furniture,
and had been compelled to borrow money
of man named Hammell, James A.
Armstrong, and other persons. She could
not remember telling her former counsel
to object to everything done by Mr.. Branch
so that she could have him removed.
r. j.. Miller, of Beverly, who boards
with Mrs. Quigg, said the home is not
what 1t used to be, and he knew she had
TO work hard for living. Mr.. Eastw God
asked that the petition be dismissed.
Judge Horner said, ''This is case that
attacks the integrity of a court officer
Mr.. Renwick, l don't think you have
made out case. You better have con-
ference with the counsel for the guardian,
as think more can be obtained in that
way" The matter was laid over until
March 81
