M MAHON BACK IN
FIRE Department
Suspended When Accused of
Manslaughter, Fireman Is Re-
instated by Commissioners.

Suspended from the fire departs
ment for nearly eight months. Fire
man Lawrence r. Mcmahon, recently
acquitted of manslaughter, has been
reinstated. lie was restored to the
ranks at a meeting Of the fire board
yesterday. and as his reinstatement
dates back TO March Z he will re-
ceive pay from that date.
On August 20 last Mcmahon was
suspended from the department on
charge of characterization, following
his arrest on the police charge of
manSsaughter. The fire commission
ers did not attempt to thrash out
their charges until after Mcmahon
had been acquitted by a jury. Then
on March Mcmahon pleaded guilty
to characterization before the board.
Yesterday the commissioners sus-
pended sentence. 1t is not thought
likely that Mcmahon will be returned
to Engine Company No. IA, where he
had been stationed.
The board decided to recommend an
amendment to the building code COW
erlng the erection of roof signs, re-
stricting the signs to twenty-five feet
in height. There is no restriction at
present superintendent of Buildings
William p. O'Rourke asked the fire
board to cooperate with him in secur-
ing an amendment to the code, adding
that recommendation had been re-
ceived by him making the height
limit of signs from thirty-five to
sixty feet
Claiming that the roof signs will

ment in fighting fires where the signs
are erected. Fire Chief Moore and
Captain G. Albert Gasser, Of. the
Bureau of Combustibles and Fire
Risks, opposed the erection of any
roof signs. If permitted at all the
signs should not exceed Twenty-Five
feet in height at the limit. they de-
clared
No action was taken on the notice
from the law department that con-
tracts had not been drawn with the
two companies awarded contracts for
furnishing automobile fire apparatus.
The commissioners named the Ameri-
CAMILLA France Fire Engine Company
and the Webb company as the sue
cessful bidders when the former bid
500 and the latter $4,000.
! The law department held that the
Dixon Cascade Pump Company. with
bid of $4,000 was one of the two low
bidders. several of the commissions
ers declared the trie0>machine was
better for the department than an
| experiment.
The resignation of Fireman John J.
Sweeney. of Engine Company No II,
who was appointed to the police de-
partment. was accepted. Captain J..
A. Johnston. of Engine Company No,
| 10. charged that Fireman James ].
| McGrath did not respond with other
members of the company to an alarm
at Broad and Market streets. Nc
Grath will be tried before the board
at its next meeting.

WEALTHY WOMAN
WILL AID LEEHAN
Mrs. j. Lynch, of Lakewood,
Contributes Money for Ac-
cused SIayer's Fight.
IspeeIoI 10 the Newark star.I

TOMS RIVER, n. j.. April 10.-In
far better, spirits than he has shown
since he was brought here charged
with the murder OF Mrs. Caroline G.
Turner, at Lakewood on April 26.
1911, William J.-Leenan today chatted
with his jailer and inquired frequent
ly as to whether or not his wife had
arrived to visit him
Leehan's sudden change from des-
pair to very hopeful outlook is at
tributed to the fact that he now has
the backing of a capable lawyer, Sc
cured for him by Mrs. Jasper Lynch,
d wealthy resident of Lakewood.
The society woman has engaged Will
fred N. Jayne. a Toms River attor-
ney, to defend the man accused of
killing Mrs. Turner.
Following his indictment for MUIR
der by the grand jury on Tuesday,
Leehan entered a plea of not guilty,
repeatedly asserting that he would
surely be convicted although he is
innocent. After he was returned to
his cell. considerably weakened by
his appearance in court, Leehan con-
tinued to refuse food and was con-
stantly in most melancholy state.
The prisoner was considerably
cheered by the arrival of his wife and
the news that counsel had been Sc
cured to defend him. The philan-
thropist, Mrs. Lynch, declared she
did not know what evidence the
prosecution had secured against Lee
han, but believed he should be given
fair trial. The fact that Mrs. Lee
han and her son Bradley will remain
in Toms River also buoyed up the
prisoner. Leehan today again ate
the food which was offered him and
appeared to enjoy it.

as the cause of two small fires in the
Fourth precinct today. About $3.50

HOLD TWO YOUTHS FOR
ROBBING PHOTO STUDIOS

In the arrest of two young men
from New York for the theft of a
camera lens from q Jersey City pho
tographer it developed today that
gang of thieves have been operating
in this city and that at least five
photographers have suffered losses.
The men gave their pedigrees as
John Walk q years old, of 253 West
Thirty-eighth street, sand Howard
Graham, 81 years old, of 5S West
Thirty-sixth street. They were ar
rested in Broad street by Patrolman
Heller, of the First precinct, after
ill-luck tempted them to enter the
studio of Isaac Issoff, at 733 Broad
street. where Isaac II. Epstein, pro-
prietor of a photo studio at 81 Mont
gomery street, Jersey City, IS en-
ployed Epstein recalled that his
nlace had been robbed of lens
valued at 500 by two men who re-
semhled his visitors.
Epstein was suspicious of the men,
and notwithstanding the effort OF one
of them to engage his attention While
the other loitered about the studio
he kept his eyes on the pair and fol-
lowed them to the street, where he
pointed them out to the policeman.
When searched at the station a
number of checks made payable to
Walk were found on him. He ex-
planned that they were worthless and
that he had them to show his father
chow we'll he was doing"
The two men were taken to police
Headquarters, where Walk admitted
10 Lieutenant Farrell that he stole
the lens in Jersey City. Lieutenant
Farrell then sent for representatives
of the Newark concerns that had
been robbed, but none identified the
men. who were turned over to De-
tectives Van Houten and Coyle, of
Jersey CITY.

Unconscious and in a critical con-
dition, suffering from fractured
skull and severe scalp wound an
unidentified man. about 80, is in the
City Hospital. He was found lying
on the sidewalk at Waverly avenue
and Hunterdon street, last night. by
a patrolman. According to the physi-
clans at the hospital the man was
subject to epilepsy and the supposi

while in the throes of an attack OF
the ailment. The man wore a suit
of dark clothing. has gray hair and
is about five feet and seven inches
tall. He appears to be a laboring
man.

ALLEGED VICTIM OF
FRAME-UP Is GUILTY

After celebrating for a little more
than an hour a jury in Judge Mar
tins court this afternoon brought IN
a verdict of guilty against Charles
Wallach, who was charged with steal
ing hides valued at $124 from the
Eclipse Tanning Company on Sep
TENDER 9, 1912.
Wallach's defense was that the hides
were stolen by two young men, I'M
known to him, and who. when they
discovered they were about to be
caught by the police, framed up a
deal to make it appear that Waliach
was the real thief by asking him to
hold the bundle of leather for them.
