The Ohio county jail is getting TO
be almost a joke in the matter of
security of prisoners confined there.
ed there have escaped in the last
few years. II seems TO be a matter
of only a little trouble to get out.
Only recently a prisoner took a
small steel spring from his shoe sole
and sawed his way TO liberty. There
should be a new inner cage. con-
structed of case-hardened steel
This and ever watchful care of the
prisoners on the part of the iailer
should insure absolute security.

Mrs. Walter PomerOy. of Los An
geles. Cal. who has been chosen to
represent the State of California in
the worlds beauty contest to be
held in Brussels, Belgium. says that
beautiful thoughts are more efficient
than cold cream in the matter of
improving personal beauty. No
doubt the lady is right. but her doc
trine is not likely TO cause any dim
mutton in the cosmetics trade.

Newspapers of the State continue
10 suggest amendments 10 the new
primary election law, which is all
we'll and proper, as il is generally
understood that the law, being new,
needs some finishing touches to
make it perfect. The Mayfield Mes
senger declares in favor of a COM
pulsory recount of the ballots by
the election commissioners. This is
a very good idea. There should al
so be some way to prevent the in
termingling of strict party votes.

Freed on Own Recognizance to
Appear at Trial on
June ~.

Augustus Hamlin. a negro. who
since last January has been confined
in the county jail, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Katherine Denzinger
in Irvington on December 2s. has been
released on his personal recognizanee
to appear on June "a, when his case Is
set down for trial before Judge Will
tam p Martin.
II is not probable that the case will
be'tried at that time as 1t is known
that the evidence gathered by the
State against Hamlin is not con-
sidered substantial enough to warrant
bringing the case to trial.
The body Of Mrs. Denzinger. who
was an aged widow. was found partly
under a bridge over the roadway in
Union avenue. Irvington, on the
morning of December e. At first 1t
was thought she was a victim of an
automobile accident, but later Ham
lin, who Is said to have been in the
vicinity of where the body was found
the night previous, was placed under
arrest. He attempted to prove an
abb by getting an aged negro to
swear he had spent the night at the
home of the latter in Newark street.
this city. but the abb fell fiat. an6
the case was submitted to the grand
Jury and an indictment found against
Hamlin.

RESIDENT SUES BELLEVILLEI
FOR $1,000 DAMAGES
Claims Drainage System Has
Injured His Property.

There is one citizen of Belleville
who is not satisfied with a new
drainage system recently put into
operation In that town. He Is Theo-
dore Jerolaman. a well-known busi-
ness man of Belleyille. He has just
begun suit for $1,000 damages against
the town, claiming that the new sew
erage system has diverted water into
stream that runs through his land,
causing the stream to overflow.
Jerolaman has a lumber yard and
coal pockets at Cortlandt and Jorale-
mon streets, Belleville. Behind them
the stream flows. In one case, he
declares, the new system drains the
surface water to the storm water
sewers. diverting it from the stream
from which he gets his water, and In
another case he laments that the re-
grading of the streets has added to
the principal stream, causing 1t to
overflow its banks. On March - and
10, he declares. one Of the catch ba-
sins was stopped up and the water
swept over the banks. washing away
piles of building sand which he uses
in his contracting business.
Summons was served on Town At
torney DeGraw through Town Clerk
Edward e. Mathes at the Belleville
Board of Trade banquet in this city
Thursday night. Jerolaman has re-
tanned Pitney. Hardin & Skinner.
