SHERRERD AND

LEFT IN THE COLD
Bin Compensating Morris Canal
investigators Ignores Claims
of These Two.
THEY FURNISHED FIGURES
THAT GUIDED THE OTHERS
Ex-Judge Van SyckeI Is to Get
$500, Attorney-GeneraI
Wilson $1,000.

BY the provisions of Senate bill No
81, now awaiting the signature ol
Governor Fielder. former Judge Ben.
net Van Sycl<ei and Attorney Genera
Edmund Wilson receive $S,500 and
$4,000, respectively, for work done in
the interests of the Morris canal in
vestigation committee. The commit
tee itself received $500.
Since the first of the three commits
sions was organized, in 1908, the in
vestigation of the Norris canal aban-
donment has cost the State thousands
of dollars. Practically the only result
has been the application of the law tc
the situation, and this was done by
the attorney general and Judge Van
Syckeb with the aid of Engineers
Morris r. Sherrerd of this city, and
Charles Hansel, of Elizabeth. The
findings of the first commission
amounted to nothing, because they
accepted much of their data from the
Lehigh Valley railroad.
Committee May Produce Results.
There are twelve members of the
present committee. The personnel of
the. body indicates that something
will be accomplished this year, how
ever. Their working capital is some
thing like $1,000, figuring a balance
of s., 400 from the $4,000 appropriated
last year.
Senator Slocum's bill winds up the
wears appropriations in the Morris
Canal matter, leaving Engineers
Sherrerd and Hansel out in the cold
so far as compensation is concerned
for their appraisals of the canals
value to the State. While they made
no specific claim to the Legislature
after they completed an appraisal of
what the State would receive upon
The abandonment of the canal and
submitted 1t in. the form of a re-
port. they set their claim al $500 each
and made the figure known to Judge
Van sssyckel wli.n he communicated
the charges to the Legislature. Their
claims we're passed up when the bill
was framed, however.
Their Figures Used by Van syckeI.
Mr.. Sherrerd and Mr.. Hansel were
engaged in 1911. They went over the
canal from its basin in Jersey City
to its mouth at Phillipsburg, and
compiled figures showing what the
State would gain by abandoning the
canal. These figures were later used
by Mr. Van Syckel.
The present commission was ap-
pointed last year. 1t began its work
on an appropriation of $1,000 and
with the additional $500 will con-
tinue its investigation of the drain
age rights in the Lake Hopatcong
district and the effect the closing of
the canal will have on coal rates.

REMAINS SILENT
Accused Slayer OF Mrs. Turner
Breaks Down, but BaIks
at Confession.
LEARNS THAT SUPPOSED
FRIEND Is A DETECTIVE
Calls Priest to Whom He Makes
Statement-Prosecutor
Sure of Conviction.

Despite a dictagraph trap laid for
him i'm his cell, William j. Leehan
formerly of this city, has made no
dana ging admissions since his arrest
for the murder of Mrs. Charles l..
Turner. of Lakewood.
How subtle were the methods of his
inquisitors he little knew-at least
not until shortly before noon today,
when w. Howard Jeffrey. of Toms
River, former assistant prosecutor,
visited him and was retained as his
counsel.
Leehan never imagined for a mo-
ment that George Jamison, supposed
ly his best friend and the man upon
whose counsel he has been relying
since his arrest, was a detective in
disguise.
Asks for JamisOn.
In fact his first request today was
for Jamison. For half an hour the
two talked together. 1t was their
sixth conference and Jamison, posing
as counsellor and friend tried insid-
iously to worm a confession from
Leehan. But the detectives. listening
at the other end of the wire con-
nected with the cells dictagraph,
heard no definite confession from
Leehan of any knowledge of the mur-
der of Mrs. Turner two years ago.
why don't you take me into your
confidence and tell me all about it?"
they heard Jamison ask 81 can I'M
derstand how you might have killed
the woman in a moment of frenzy
and yet deserve sympathy more than
punishment"
II didn't kill the woman, George.
You know | couldn't do such a thing"
was the prisoners reply.
Arraigned yesterday before Judge
Soaring, Leehan asked for time to
obtain counsel. This was granted.
He was held on charge of murder
for formal examination Thursday.
His real name, he said in court, is
Joseph Moriarity.
Breaks Down In Hospital.
When he was left alone in the hos
pitai ward of the Jail Leehan broke
down and wept constantly, and
Sheriff Tilton found him on the verge
of collapse.
''Get me priest" he implored.
i've something to say to a priest"
Sheriff Tilton asked the Rev. Father
Joseph A. Linnane, pastor of st. Jo-
seph's Roman Catholic Church at
Toms River, to talk to Leehan.
When the priest entered the cell
Leehan fell to his knees In voice
that carried out through the open
windows to the Jail yard he said:
'Oh, father. Oh, father! They ac-
cuse me of murder. l want someone
to believe me. Will you?"
"Yes, Joe" answered the priest.
On leaving the Jail Father Linnane
said
Makes Confession.
''Joe Leehan has just made con-
fession to me-
WAS it a confession of crime, a
ner?" he was asked
THAT / cannot tell you," answered
Father Linnane. 1.-The confession he
made was sacred with me. ! have ar
ranged with Sheriff Tilton to hold
mass for Leehan in the jail Sunday
morning at $3.50 o'clock"
This is considered most significant.
Leehan, when he was lured by de-
tectives to a sanatorum in Ossining,
was heard to say over the dicta-
graph that he had not been to church

A tiny pimp1e spreads to the side Of
the face and often covers the cheeks
and bridge of the nose. 1t is very de-
structive to the glands of the skin. No
external treatments will overcome 1t,
as the cause of lupus is from Impurities

method Of cure is to get the blood sup
ply under the control of s. s. s., the
famous blood specific. It's action is
quite remarkable and has direct infiu-
ence upon the network Of small blood
vessels and glands in the skin.
From the fact that s. s. s. is purely
a botanical preparation. 1t is accepted
by the weakest stomach and has great
tonic influence in all the digestive or
gans. 1t is certainly a wonderful blood
medicine, and Is prepared direct from
native materials gathered by the ex-
perts Of the famous Swift Laboratory.
Not one drop Of minerals or drugs is
used in its preparation. Ask for 8. s. 8.
