across no signs Of the murderer. Fears
were entertained that he had again
changed his place Of abode and that
he was already hundreds Of miles
away plotting some new fiendishness
In some unsupported quarter. His
almost unlimited capacity for mischief
became more and more impressed up
on the minds of the people as they
grew to appreciate his wonderful fly
ing powers, his ability to see in the
dark, his fox cunning and his wolf
sanguineousness. So long as he did
not recklessly expose himself, as he
had done; upon the two occasions in
the past when he was trying out the
flying machines, there seemed little
prospect of putting a quietus upon him
except by some lucky accident, since

Russian Superstitlons.

The number Of Russian superstitions
is legion. but some OF them are not
without symbolic beauty. A mans
wedding ring Is Of gold. but is made to
At the wife's finger. A woman's we'd
ding ring is OF silver and is made to
fit the husbands finger. The signif-

The gold ring should signify to the
wife that Ivan Ivanovitch is the sun
Of her future home. Hers is a silver
ring because, like the moon. she Is
supposed to receive her brillfancy
from the husband-the sun.
Is At the wedding ceremony the rings
are exchanged, the woman receiving

one, to signify complete accord OF hus-

OF course we did not get him, so we
kept on with the chase. It got dusk
pretty soon after that. and for while
we had hard time keeping him IN

COUNSEL ASKS STAY IN
EMBEZZLEMENT CASE
Says Court Did Not Charge
Jury, as Requested.

Irving w Teeple, as counsel for
Alexander Legler, convicted two
weeks ago before Judge Harry v. Os-
borne on charge of embezzling $50
in funds Of the Legler Mercantile
Agency, of which he was president,
appeared before Judge Osborne to-
day to argue in favor of an arrest of
judgment in the case.
Mr.. Teeple based his argument for
arrest of judgment on the fact, as
claimed by him, that Judge Osborne
did not comply with a number of re-
quests TO charge the jury made by
Teeple just before the jury retired.
Judge Osborne reserved decision in
the matter
Mr. Teeple then asked for and OBJ
talned from Judge Osborne an order
allowing Legler, who is in the county
Jail, in default of $4,000 bail, to visit
his Office in the Ordway building to-
morrow, in order to straighten out
some of his business affairs.
At the time of his conviction Legler
was out on $1,000 bail in another case
pending against him, but last Satur-
day John A. Healy, his bondsman,
surrendered him, and he has since
languished in the county Bastile. Bail
for him is fixed at $4,000 on the con-
yiction for embezzlement and at $500
each on two other charges of en-
bezzlement, yet to be disposed of by
the court.

MERRY SCRAMBLE
TO SUCCEED mott
Judge Osborne, Political Wise
acres Say, Seems to Have
the Call.

Governor Wilson will have troubles
of his own in naming a successor to
Wilbur A. Mott, as prosecutor OF
Essex county, if any credence can be
given to rumors that are going the
rounds these days.
Judge Harry V. Osborne is out for
the position, and by a great many
who profess to know, he is said to
have shade on the others. Then
there is Simon p. Northrup, one of
the leaders of the Wilson League.
who has the Endorsement of the
league, and ]. Randolph Woodruff.
All three are acknowledged candi-
dates for the position, but there are
a couple of dark horses in the field
who are likely to upset all calcula-
tions of the political dopesters before
the plum is handed out. OF course
the Wilson League is not opposing
Judge Osborne's candidacy for the
Job, although prominent members of
the league. including the president,
John L. Armitage, admit that their
sympathies are naturally with Mr..
Northrup Nevertheless there is rumor
NAA1h AC1uStS " QOW1 III spite Oh
the .denials of the Wilson League
that delegation from the league has
been down to see the Governor to
protest against the appointment of
Judge Osborne.
Those who claim to be on the in
side in the matter say that the Will
sonites would welcome the appoint
ment of almost anyone in preference
to Judge Osborne, but the Wilsonites
deny that such Is their standpoint
Meanwhile the forecasters are
amusing themselves picking first and
second assistant prosecutors, and the
whole affair is resolving itself into a
merry scramble.
1t is known that the Governor is
giving the matter most careful con-
sideration, and will not say just when
the appointment will be made 1t is
probable, however, that he will defer
action until the last minute.

FIRE-ESCAPE TOO SMALL
FOR FAT BOOKKEEPER

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-While a fire
was burning briskly on the ground
floor of the Vito G. Cantasano paper
and rag warehouse Frank A. Favata,
the head bookkeeper. who weighs S25
pounds. was on the second floor. He
thought of his umbrella. Though only
the dollar variety it must be. saved.
Favata tossed it to the sidewalk,
then looked at the small aperture in
the fire escape. 1t seemed impossible
and 1t was. His 325-pound bulk
would not squeeze through. The
stairs were too smoky and he had
about given himself up for lost when
the f1remen arrived. A mans size
ladder was run up and Favata de-
scended-but some scamp had stolen
his umbrella.
