the case went over until February IL.
The adjournment was asked for by
Second Assistant Prosecutor Andrew
Van Blarcom ION the part of the

made in December when the case
was listed for trial. Mr.. Van Blarcom

Mr. Hood appealed to Judge
Osborne stating that Mcmahon, who
is a city fireman attached to Engine
House IA, was not guilty OF the
charge made against him, but that
while he was awaiting trial he was
under suspension from the fire de-
partment and was losing his salary.
Judge Osborne, in regretting that
he could not help Mr.. Hood out in
the matter, remarked:
Il think this is a matter that the
court should have in its control, but
under the law 1t has not. In my
opinion the court should control the
moving of cases in all instances and
not the attorneys"
Mr. Hood called Judge Osborne's
attention to the fact that the court
had power in setting an early date

would have to be for that length of
time, anyhow, as the calendar was
filled with cases awaiting trial where
the accused persons were in jail and
not on bail.
The charges that Mcmahon faces
arises out of a saloon row at Bergen
and Warren street on August last.
On that night Mcmahon is alleged to
have had a fight with Garvey, whom
he knocked down several times.
Three days later Garvey died at the
City Hospital from a fractured skull.
Mcmahon denies that he at any

Although he said nothing about it
at the time, the finders mind was
besieged with recollections of the
mysterious taps on his door, which
began shortly after the snow of the
blizzard that took Ellano's life had
melted and which have continued
almost nightly ever since.

more than a few minutes at time.
Way back in SS, he says, when the
raps on the door were first heard, he,

hold had frequently sat in waiting
near the GHOSTS" door and had never
been disappointed in receiving visit
from the spectre, if such it was. AS
time passed, the fear that used to
seize the Aspinalls when the raps at
the door came, was lost. The family
