MISSING WITNESS NOW
FACES PRISON TERM

An echo of the trial of MRS Mad
elena Ciccone, now serving a life
sentence in the Trenton prison for
the murder of her husband. Leonar-
do Ciccone, in March, 1912, came out
of the prosecutors Office today when
news of the arrest OF James Bruno
at Bridgeport, Conn, was made
public.
Bruno. together with his wife, Ha-
eel Bruno. was arrested in Orange
early in 1912 on a charge of main
tanning a disorderly house. While
confined in the county Jail Mrs.
Bruno gained knowledge OF letters
passing between Mrs. Ciccone and
Antonio Fiore, jointly indicted with
her for the murder of her husband,
and who is now under sentence of
death for the crime. Bruno also had
knowledge of the letters and was
wanted as a witness at the murder
trial.
He was tried and convicted on the
disorderly house charge and pending
the pronouncing of sentence was re-
leased ON bail so as to be available
for use as a witness at the Ciccone
trial. Bruno disappeared and moth
ing was heard of him until he was
arrested al White Plains, n. Y, last
week on a charge of white slavery
made by the Bridgeport ponce. 1t
is alleged that he took a woman
named Florina Basco from Bridge
port to White Plains with him.
He was returned to Bridgeport on
eXtradition papers, but when it
looked there as though the case
against him would fall through the
Essex county officials were notified.
County Detective Anthony DeRo-
gatis, who knows Bruno. visited
Bridgeport yesterday with extradi-
ton papers, but Bruno denied know
ing him. The Identification of De-
Rogatis satisfied the Bridgeport Of
ficials, however, and Bruno was held
to await the necessary action lead
ing to extradition to this State On
his return he will be sentenced on
The disorderly house charge.

TWO FLyS GROW
INTO MILLIONS
Investigator Finds That Pair
Breeds 100000 in Three
Months.

Individual flies have lived in cap
tivity for sixteen weeks. Flies which
have been caught and marked and
then liberated have been found within
forty-eight hours a mile away from
the point of liberation. The distance
which files may travel, therefore. car
rying with them whatever foulness
they may be possessed of, is almost
unlimited.
A number of investigators have
shown that the germs with which
every fly is probably loaded remain
active for a material length of time,
and for a longer period when taken
into the insect with its food and car
ried within it until re-ejected than
when merely attached to 1t externally.
A fly which had been fed on the bac-
I'LL of tuberculosis was found still to
contain the bacilli after fourteen
days. Also, the bacilli, having been
taken into the fly and subsequently
excreted. remained virulent for tif-
teen days after election BY merely
making a casually caught fly walk
over a nutrient culture a really as
founding number of colonies of bac-
terra may be developed. A single fly
caught at a refuse can in a suburb
of London gave no fewer than 1l6
colonies of bacteria and ten colonies
of fungi, the germs having all been
carried on theA bristles of the insects
legs and body or on its proboscis. as
gathered while feeding on the refuse
in the can.
That flies are every day similarly
collecting germs and subsequently
walking not on well-guarded cultures,
but on childrens bread and butter
and on eatables in shops and kitchens
and on our tables, is obvious. Nor
are household refuse cans the worst
places which flies visit or in which
they feed and breed 1t is probable
that large proportion of the deaths
from typhoid, both in the South At
rican war and in the American war
with Spain were due to the instru-
mentality of the flies that swarmed
about the camps; and it is equally
likely that they bear a share in nu-
merous lesser outbreaks of typhoid
of which the cause is never known.
In addition to typhoid 1t is also be-
lieved that flies are active carriers of
tuberculosis, ophthalmia, anthrax,
cholera and other terrible maladies,
besides the infantile diarrhoea or
enteritis which causes so heavy
mortality among the children in our
cities every summer.-London Times.

NEWSBOYS CAPTURE AUTO

A Ford runabout automobile was
found deserted at the Market street
depot of the Pennsylvania railroad

The police learned that the car is
owned by Leslie Finger, real estate
operator, of Stratford place.
Mr.. Finger eommutes to Asbnry
Park during the summer, and mas an
agreement with local garage con-
Germ to call for the car at the depot
each evening. He arrived at the sta
ton yesterday afternoon barely IN
time to catch the 4.51 o'clock train
for the seashore, and, asking a
pedestrian to watch the car for few
minutes, he hustled to catch his
train. When the chauffeur arrived
he did not find the car in its usual
place. and decided 1t had not been
left at the station. A crowd of news
boys were amusing themselves with
the car today when the police appro-
priated it, Mr.. Finger has been

CRYPTIC LETTERS ARE
AT LAST UNDERSTOOD
Puzzled Court House Attaches Go Even Swiss Cheese Fac
tory for Explanation of the Curious Heogyphcs but
Postnark Finally Gives Key to the Solution.

| under the guidance of Supervisor Pit
kins of the Cleveland Public School
on Bergen street, near Springfield
avenue
The children were shown all the
rooms in the Court House and their
uses explained TO them by their
guides. II might not be a bad idea
for other school heads to follow this
example and give the children an idea
OF what the county temple of Justice
looks like and what 1t Is used for.
And the visit of the children came
mighty near disturbing the serenity
of Gus Hartman. of superintendent
Fred Wasner's staff, and also of
Judge William p. Martin, who was
hearing lunancy cases on Thursday.
Hartman was acting as guide for
the children through the various
rooms of the Court House and had
taken them to the prison pens on
the mezzanine floor, which have an
inside stairway leading directly to
Judge Martins courtroom.
Hartman filed his charged down the
stairs and was just about to make a
noisy entry into the courtroom when
he discovered that court was in ses-
sion and that Judge Martin was on
the bench. There was hurried ad-
monition to ssh" and q retreat hack
up the stairs. and Judge Martin knew
nothing of the near invasion.
The telephone company has discon-
tinued the pay station at the Court
House and instead has installed sew
eral automatic phones in the first
floor corridor. The company claims
there was not enough business at the
Court House to warrant maintaining
an operator and apparently the con-
venience to the public did not cut any
figure at all. When all the courts are
in session the telephone operator and
booths hardly had an idle moment.
Maybe the automatic phones will take
care of the business just as well, but
1t is cinch the public will not be as
well pleased
The most surprised man In the
house last Monday was George F.
Brandenburgh, when he was knocked
out of the craftsmanship of the Coun-
ty Board of Elections. Branden-
burgh had been named chairman to
fill the unexpired term of Edward
Hartt, who died last fall, and as he
had but one more year to serve on
the board, was confident he would
be named for the position.
But his plans went skyhigh when
the Board of Elections went into ses-
sion. Brandenburgh was named a
temporary chairman and that was all
the satisfaction he got, for John F.
Murray. jr., the other Republican
member of the board was promptly
named for permanent chairman by
William McTague, one of the Dem
ocratic members of the board and
as promptly seconded by John L.
Cox, the other Democratic member
Brandenburgh. of course, could not
nominate himself so as temporary
chairman he was forced to put to
vote ON the question that knocked
him out of the position he had
thought was. a sure thing for him
self. Brandenburgh. on the face of
affairs, took the matter with the
utmost good humor but it is known
that his friends particularly those on
the Republican County Committee,
feel that he got rather raw deal.
