AS he sought to comfort her he
turned toward another visitor and ex-
claimed:
"They have convicted an innocent
man. 1 can prove this and 1 will do
1t when 1 get another chance. Those
men who testified against me were
all liars. They perjured their souls
black. They perjured themselves to

toned the four inforners he broke
into a fury. Beating the wall with
his clenched hand he denounced Rose
and his associates saying that they
were the scum of the earth, and that
the four gunner in the tombs were
infinitely superior to them. He de-
clared that the four informers had
plotted the crime for months and
to make it perfect SO that in case OF
detection they might escape. had kept
in touch with him, so as to make II
appear later that he instigated the
killing.

NEWARK WILL NOT
APPEAL "PRU" CASE
City Attorney Boggs So An
nounces-Decision Means
81, 10000 Deficit.

No further appeal will be taken
by the city of Newark regarding it's
tax upon the deferred dividend fund
of the Prudential Insurance Company,
which was decided against the city
by the Appellate Court in Trenton
yesterday, according to City Attor-
ney Herbert Boggs. The latter ex-
pressed regret at the decision of the
court.
As a result of the decision of the
Court of Errors and Appeals yester-
day the city will have many millions
of dollars less in its ratables and a
deficit of 81. 100000 TO make up in
future tax levies.
Deficit Represents Taxes.
This deficit represents the taxes for
1911 and 1912 which the city had cal
culated upon, but will not get as a
result of the Appellate Courts deci-
sion yesterday.
The decision ends for all time the
legal battle between the city and the
company. The tax vas assessed in
1909 and again in 1910. when according
to a ruling of the court it should have
been exempt.
Since the fund was not included in
the liability and the taxes were paid,
the company has no redress on these
payments, which aggregated some
500, 900.
Reviews History of Case.
Edward d. Duffield, general solicitor
for the Prudential, said the courts
ruling was right in line with the way
the company had always Interpreted
the law, and added that funds of de-
ferred dividends are exempt from
taxation in other States. In a state
ment issued to the Evening Star, in
which he reviews the history of the
case from start to finish, Mr.. Duffield
says: ''This final decision confirms
the position which the company has
always taken that 1t was never the
legislative intention to subject these
funds to municipal taxation. Tt also
afTirms thai the commissioners in in
Guiding them in the valuation of the
company's policies was merely carry
ing out the law as interpreted by the
courts in the prior case"

DICTAGRAPH EVIDENCE
MAY HANG 2 MURDERERS

CHEYENNE, Wye, Oct. 26.-Con-
victed of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to hang through the
agency of the dictagraph-that is the
fate of James Murdoch and Toni AS
poll, who killed John Giachino at
Newcastle, Wyo. 1t was a stenog-
rapher's evidence of a conversation
heard through the dictagraph which
resulted in the verdict.
The telltale outfit was placed in jail
in such position that Murdoch in dis
cussing the crime with Aspoli could be
heard by the stenographer in an adj
joining room. Admissions which the
men made and which were taken
down by the stenographer supplied
the evidence needed TO convict. The
court admitted the evidence over the
strenuous objection of counsel for the
accused, and this will be the basis of
an appeal to the State Supreme
Court.
