MOORE TEST|F|ES
AGAINST OFFICIAL
Gives Version of Extortion
Charge Against GIouoes-
ter Prosecutor.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June g.
David w. Moore, jr., of Woodbury.,
n. j., gave his version of the extor-
ton charge which he has brought
against Joseph ]. Summerill, public
prosecutor of Gloucester county, and
three other prominent citizens of that
county when their hearing was held
before Magistrate German in the
Central Police Court, City Hall, this
afternoon.
With much detail Moore testified
that Summerill and the other ac-
cused men had offered to grant i'm
munity to his brother, Charles, whom
they accused of being short from $12,
900 to $4,000 in his accounts as treas
urer of the defunct Moore Brothers
Glass Company, If the Moore family
would insure the payment of a large
sum of money
A large crowd attended the hear
ing of Summerill and the other men,
including Joseph B. Best, of the
Gloucester County Board of Free
holders; George w. Dickensheets,
president of the First National Bank
of Woodbury.. and Harry Stille, of
Clayton, n. J. Every seat in the
hearing room was occupied with
friends of the contesting parties, and
many persons were denied admission
and driven out of the corridors.
David w. Moore was the first wit
ness. The alleged blackmail, he said,
first had been broached to him by
Best, who had called at his house on
the night of May 5.
BEST told me-" he said, that sum
merrill, Dickensheets, Stille and he.
together with Charles Dubois, had
been appointed a committee repre-
senting the bond holders of the glass
company to probe the affairs of that
concern and discover the cause of
the failure. He said expert account
ants had been put on the books and
that a shortage of at least $4,000 mad
been discovered in my brother
Charles account The shortage he
said might reach $4,000
II suggested that If there were
shortage our family probably would
make 1t up Restitution he told me,
will not be enough. We won't ac-
cept restitution. We want $4,000 and
guarantee on the 100000 outstand-
ing bonds with interest"
In exchange the witness said. Best
offered to turn over the books of the
glass comnanv and all evidence bear
inc upon the alleged shortage.
@The onlv ones who know of this"
Best was quoted as having said. "are
the two accountants. Summerill,
iDiclensheets. stille and myself. Du-
bois knows nothing about IT." Best

Wherever a fruit tree exists the buds,
especially pear, cherry and peach. are
wealth of blooms. Grass on the
lawns is green and full of life, likewise
the weeds. Butter cups are every
where, a bright yellow against the
attractive green of lawns and fields

tive small boy is getting out his fish
hooks and begging the family grocer
for Irvine to use for sundry purposes
while his father, like an old war morse
feels the spring restlessness 1or quiet
action near the water, in some quiet
nook or pool where the lively minno"
tempts the game fish to bite. Soon we
will have the lawn festival, ice cream

THE FISHING SEASON.
Fishtoyn Shows No Signs of Awak-

Catches.

Half century ago Fishtown was
a busy mart at this time of the
year. 1t is not so now, and from
present indications, spring of 1913
will be akin to others OF the past
few years.
In the olden times all the fish
caught on the Potomac were brought
to Fishtown, where they were cut
and packed. and many persons found
employment during the few weeks
the run was on.
But few fish now caught ever leave
the shores upon which they are land
ed, as they are cut and packed i'm
mediately.
The OILERS of this city report
catching but few shad, hereabouts,
so far. Seven or eight in a drift is
about the maximum.
