From al midnight call to the police for aid in what was nrst believed to be a fall from a second story window, the authorities have today developed in the death of Joseph Small. 3S years old, residing at 2o1 Hallarn street, what they believe to be case of mur- der.
 Medical Examiner s. s M. Garlick. stated today that in no manner that he could explain such injuries as sus- tatned by the dead man have been suffered alone in the supposed fall of thirty feet. He reported the matter at once to Coroner Phelan who has ordered the police to make a rigid i'm vestigation-
 Several peculiar circumstances con nected with event preceding death and detectives, and the whereabouts of an Easton resident Is eagerly sought this afternoon.
 It has been asserted that the dead man had made many enemies in the neighborhood and intimations of threats made against him in an East Side saloon yesterday are being in vestigated thoroughly.
 That he was not in a mood to com init suicide has been established through his landlady, Mrs. Mary Ko- panitz, who served him with supper when he came home last night. He was in the most jovial mood as late as 11:30, when others in the house hold retired.
 The first to discover the body was Mrs. Mary Kopanitz with whom the dead man boarded at POI HaIlam street She was sleeping in the front room on the second story of a three floor tene- ment- With her in the room were four young children. Cries from a little girl in a rear room attracted her at te1Ition and she went into the kitchen where she had previously left Small He was not there and the incoherent talking. of her little girl led her to look for him. He was not in the room although the man who had returned home with her, Martin Malik. a farm hand of Easton was apparently asleep. Walking back to the kitchen which Is in the center of the building. she observed that a screen had been taken from a window and carefully placed beside the wall. The sash was up and lying in the courtyard below, lay Small in a pool of blood. She at once aroused the neighbors, who today as- sert they heard no outcry or scuff1e.
 Small lay dead upon his left side, with his feet towards the window. His arm is said to have been beneath his head. The police were called and commenced an investigation They have secured a witness whose name they refuse to divulge who has stat

HELD
 FOR DEATH OF
 CRISPELt GIRL

Wilkes Barre. Pa, July 12-Counsel representing the prisoner said today that he probably would apply for a writ of habeas corpus for the imme- deiate release of Herbert Johns, whc is in jail here in connection with the death of Alice Crispell, IS years of age, whose body was found in liar veyis Lake last Monday after she had been missing for three days. At hearing last night before a justice of the peace Johns was held without bail to await the action of the Luzerne County Grand Judy. There is friction between the coroner and the district attorney over the case On Thursday night a coroner's jury rendered a yer dict exonerating Johns from any con- nection with the death of the girl. Dis trict Attorney J. F. Bigelow and the county detectives working on the case were dissatisfied with the verdict and undertook to make out a prinna facie ease at last nights hearing. The jus tice ruled that such a case had been made out and held Johns despite the protests of his counsel.
 Several Of the witnesses examined last night admitted to have been with Miss CrispeII and Johns on the night of the Fourth of July when she was last seen, and all testified that there had been much beer drinking and that both Johns and the girl had become i'll. Several of the witnesses testified that Johns had promised to take the girl to her home.
 Johns in preliminary statements at did not take Miss Crispe1l home be- cause he became ilI. He will be put through another severe examination today by detectives. Thus far he has stood the ordeal of examination well, the detectives declare.

NO ODOR FROM GARBAGE
 PLANT, EAST SIDERS SAY
Many Witness Testify in Behalf of Charles Fischer Who Describes Process
 of Reduction

A large number of East Bridgeport and East End residents appeared be- fore County Health Officer Hill in the County Court house this morning and testified that so far as they were con garbage odor. Among those who have not been bothered by the nuisance was Lawrence J. Gill of the Board of Assessors.
 These witnesses were introduced by Attorney David s. Day, counsel for Charles C. Fischer, who operates the garbage plant. The remonstrants against the plant had their innings at the last hearing when they swore the odor was a nuisance. The present hearing is an appeal taken by Fischer Lellan, who found that the plant was a nuisance.
 Fischer took the, stand in his own behalf and gave some details of his business. He said he resided in York, Pa, and that he had operated reduc- tion plants in York as we'll as in Reading, Pa He declared the plant represented to him an investment of $70,oOo. He paid $32 800 for it, spent $20, 600 for machinery and paid $10,000 t9 have the apparatus installed. There were other minor expenses. Fischer then described the reduction process from the time the garbage is received at the plant until nothing is left but the waste material
 He explained that the garbage is steamed six hours and that a new apparatus had been installed so that there would be no escape of obnoxious gas to the outer air. In the past the occasional odor which annoyed near

by residents had been due to the neg1i- gence of workn1en in handling the fires. Recently he had put in evap- orators at a, cost of 5000 to further eliminate the odor.
 Supt Merle CowIes of the Lakeview Home, said he had inspected the gar bage plant and found it sanitary He nothing troublesome. Upon cross ex- animation by Judge William H. Com ley, Jr., for the renonstrants, the wit ness admitted that garbage from the town farm was buried during the win ter. This practice was abandoned about April l. When Livingston con- ducted the reduction plant, the gar bage was allowed to accumulate for weeks but Cowles said 1t did not ac- cumulate for more than one day now. He was near the plant but had never noticed the. odor at night, as others had testified on a previous occasion.
 Among those who said they had not been bothered by odors were: James Troy, Noble avenue; Michael Noonan 1; Noble Ave; Mrs Cowles, Asylum St; i; F. H. GIynn, East Main street; Arthur Lock1ey, Boston avenue; Michael Lil- lis Sheridan street; Richard Hal3eck, Huntin gton road; MT. and Mrs. Thos. Benn, Boston avenue; Frank c.

MURDER IN DEATH
 OF HALLAM STREET RESIDENT

ed that Small was ly1ng groaning g short dis stanc9s frona Where he wal g found. The time is ptaced at half past il. The police were not called into the case until shortly before 3 o'clock and after notifying Medical Examiner GarIick did not permit re- naovaI of the body until an hour later.
 Sergeant Ramsey and Doorman Lush of the Second precinct station who were the first to arrive upon the scene found that Small or Sinol as his name is more properly spelled in the Aus trian manner, had been in this coun- try six years. He had resided at his present abode about seven months and was unmarried. He has been en- ployed in the Bridgeport Brass com pany. He has recently been drinking. Last night he returned in time for supper at 1o< o'clock from John sy- nek's saloon at the corner of Reilly and Hallam streets. He was accom- panied by Martin Malik, of whom lit tie is known except that he is farm hand employed at Easton on farm owned by the saioon-keeper. Malik from letters found this morning in the room occupied by himself and the dead man, formerly lived with J. w Chadwick, North Salem, N. Y. From the postmark of this year it is sbel1eV- ed he has not long been in this sec tion.
 when discovery of the body was made the lAndlady says he was appar- ,ently asleep and she had hard work waking him. The adjoining bed to be occupied by Small had not been touch ed. There was no evidence Of v1o- lence inside the house.
 When questioned today by the po- lice. the little girl who first gave the alarm was unable to state what woke her up, and little information of satisfactory nature could be gleaned.
 At CulIinan 6 Mullins morgue an examination of the bodysrevealeds sev- eraI bruises about the body. Parti- cuIarly noticeable was a frac- ture upon the right hand side and slightly to the rear of the head. Around the abrased portion is a long discoloration three inches in length and about an inch wide, strikingly like the mark which a blunt instrument would make. Both knees have been fractured and the big toes on both right and left feet are broken at the bone, so that the flesh has parted. Both eyes have been visibly blackened as if from a fight, and it is the opinion of the Medical Examiner that they were inflicted before death. An ex- tended brufse upon the right hip adds to the mystery.
 The body has been ordered kept at the morgue until the detectives today detailed on the case have made a further report.

JUDGES INFALLTBd.E RULE TO TELL DRUNKS

Washington, July 12.-Judge Pugh of the police court has laid down an infallible rule for the determination of whether a cu1prit brought before him is drunk or not. The medium through which Justice will exercise its impartial power is one long. straight chalk line. If the culprit cannot walk along it without showing Wobbly tendencies he's intoxicated and if he attempts. to walk along it the fact is pripaa facie evidence that he fears he's drunk or, as Judge Pugh sapiently puts it s'he wouldn't try" So he's drunk any way
