ROMEO GETS HIS AUTO
BECAUSE HE PAID FOR 1T

Romeo gets his automobile. Referee
Edwin G. Adams says so. The matter
came up before him today in the
Bankruptcy Court, and, after hearing
testimony, the referee awarded the
car to Romeo.
Romeo is Romeo Bianchi He lives
in Lyndhurst, in Bergen county, and
is a contractor there.
Last month he took a notion to
own a regular" automobile. He saw
an advertisement of secondhand
Secondhand Auto Company, 9S7
Broad street.
He investigated, and found a car
he liked. Two hundred and sixty
FIVE dollars was the price for it. He
only had s130, so he gave 800 to John
Hennessy. the man who said he
owned the place.
why didn't you give him the whole
1892" asked Attorney Bilder, repre-
senting the trustee of Hennessy, who
was and is really bankrupt.
II had TO have my lunch yet"
Romeo replied.
The next day he came to town with
the additional s165. and got a receipt
in full.
Just as he stopped over to crank
the machine cruel officers invaded
the place and said the machine was
attached. Romeo protested, but he
did not get his car. 1t developed that
while he was paying for the machine
Hennessy had been declared a bank
rupt, and the receiver took over all
his tangible assets.
On a reclamation order in the
Bankruptcy Court today Referee
Adams decided that Romeo should
have his auto.

ACCUSED SEAYER'S
FATE WITH JURY
Scardi Murder Case Goes to
Talesmen-Longo May Soon
Learn Verdict.

Whether Giuseppe Longo will spend
the balance OF his life behind prison
bars for the murder of Luigi Scardi
in Orange on June 30 last or will be
set free now rests with the twelve
men who are jurymen in the case,
Judge Harry Y. Osborne finishing
his charge to the jury in the Court of
oyer and Terminer Just before the
noon recess today.
First Assistant Prosecutor Freder-
lex r. Lehlbach who conducted the
case for the State, did not lay much
stress on a verdict of first degree
murder in his summing up, the
crime just missing the degree that
carries with ii a verdict of death in
the electric chair by being COM
mitted during street fight. Premed-
itation could not be shown, and MIR.
Lehlbach devoted most of his time
to showing that no matter whether
Giuseppe Longo or his brother, Anto-
MO Longo, VINO is still at large, DID
the actual cutting, both men We're
equally guilty of second degree muir
der.
Frank A. Boettner, counsel for
Longo, made plea of self-defense on
behalf of his client, claiming that
both the Longos were in fear of their
lives at the hands of Scardi and his
friends when the killing took place
He also insisted that the actual cut
ting had been done by Antonio Longo
and not by Giuseppe.
Mr.. Lehlbach tore to pieces the tes'
timony of Longo given yesterday,
In which he denied the confession
made by him to the Crane police on
the night following the murder after
he had been arrested in Jersey City
and brought back to the Orange sta
ton. In this confession Longo ad-
mits he did the cutting. but yester-
day on the stand repudiated it and
said he meant to say his brother,
when he spoke Of the person who used
the knife.
Longo insisted that he was intoxi-
Gated when he made the confession,
but today in rebuttal Mr.. Lehlbach
put on the witness stand Chief John
Drabell and Policemen Thomas j.
Brown and Michael Giordano, all of
the Orange police force, who swore
chat Longo was sober at the time he
was making the confession and re-
peated several times that he had
pulled his knife from his pocket
while he held Scardi on the ground
with one hand and after opening the
knife with his teeth cut Scardi on the
neck"
I.ongo, a nervous shifty-eyed Ital-
ian. looked daggers at Lehlbach as
he was summing up, and although he
pretends not to understand the Eng
fish language, WINGED several times
as Lehlhach scored feelings points
a against him. In the second row OF
seats intently watching the proceed
ings sat Mrs. Mario Scardi, widow of
the murdered man. She seemed to be
stronger than yesterday, when she
tainted in court as Longo was testi-
flying to the killing of her husband.
she kept her eyes steadily on Longo,
who did not once look in her difee-
tion.
Judge Osborne's charge, in which
he defined the law covering murder,
was instructive to the jury and was
regarded as being very fair to both
the State and the defense

from his lips by Captain Of Detectives
Tennant Of Seattle, is today going to
the jury in the case Of Peter Miller,

By his ruling today that all testi-
mony tending TO show that third de-
gree methods were used by the Seat
tie authorities to force the boy to make
discriminating statements against him
! self and Miller will be admitted as ey-
idence in the present trial, Judge
Chapman has sanctioned the firing of
the defense's most damaging guns.
Attorney Glasgow's questions lead
ing to the expose Of the alleged inqui-
sition through which Taylor was Put
at the hands Of Captain Tenant called
for the objection on the part of the
state, and the jury was ordered from
the court room that Glasgow might
set forth the facts that he will at
tempt to prove by the witnesses.

held in fear through threats from Ten
nant from the day of his arrest" de-
clared Miller's attorney "I shall prove
that he is in duress right now"

Governor Vests anger Of yesterday
was all gone today, and it was sAid
around the state house that he was
willing to bury the hatchet Yes
terday, 1t was reported that he had
threatened various members OF the
legislators, including the Marion

supported him on the remaining ve-
toed bills that are to come up, he
would veto all measures passed at
this session carrying appropriations
for fairs, etc.
The Lewelling bill providing for the
sterilization of habitual criminals and
moral degenerates also precipitated a
lengthy debate today, but indications
are that 1t will be passed, The bill
was finally referred back to the COM
mittee on public health and morals
for the correction of some of the
technical mistakes in It's wording.
The main fact is on that part of
the bill which makes a man guilty Of
forcible criminal assault come into
the class for sterilization. Onnonents
Of the bill argue that the innocent
might be punished through success

COMP ANIES
They Have Applied for Permission to
Take sand From Streams

Seventeen Kansas sand companies
have complied with the provisions OF
the new state sand law and have made
appIication for permission to take
sand and gravel from the beds OF the
navigabIe streams of the state. the
first remittance to be received from
a company under the new law, came
TODAY from c. E. Brown. a Hutchin-
son sand dealer. The amount or the
Brown check was not made pubic.
State Auditor w. E. Davis beHeVes
that the new sand law, which ne ad-
vocated in his annual report Will net
the state about $4,000 a year. Con-
tracts which have already been MADE
seem to indicate that his figures are
none too low. Remittances from cor
poratfons and individuals operating
under the new law will be made
monthly. The checks, under the above
basis. should run about $12,5OO
month.
Several sand companies, however,
have not come under the new law and
it will probably be several weeks until
the law is operating in the manner in
which its friends anticipate. The cor
porations which are still holding out
include both large and small dealers.
They have been given final notice to
make application. The time for them
to get under the new law will prob
ably not be extended and if applica-
ton for a permit is not sent to the
state charter board, it is then probable
that the attorney general will proceed
with the enforcement of the recent
act
