Murder at Borton,s handing.

A sensation was created at Rancocas
Park on July 4th, when those present at
that resort learned that a murder had
been committed at Borton's Landing,
which is close by.
The news was flashed to Moorestown,
and getting on the job at once, Thomas
j. Murphy, chief of police, FASTENED to
the scene and arrested the principal, who
was committed by Justice Petit The
prisoner was brought to the county Jail
by Peter Beatty, constable.
Thomas Baker is the man who is charged
with killing his father-in law, Hudson
Weber. The crime occurred shortly be-
fore noon, and is said to have been due
to family trouble. Both men had been
living together.
Prosecutor Samuel A. Atkinson will be
present to represent the state at an in
quest to be held at the Court House this
morning.
After being landed in Jail the prisoner,
who Is about 26 years old, expressed re-
greet over what had occurred and seemed
disappointed that he would have to re-
main In confinement until next October
at least.
Mrs. Baker, mother of the accused man,
who is blind, was brought to Mount Hol-
ly on Saturday for an interview with AS
semblymen Robert Peacock by appoint
ment, and he will look after the interests
of her son.
The Prosecutor Immediately put De-
tective Parker and other officers on the
case and they have been active In getting
at the facts leading up to the shooting.
Baker makes statement to the effect
that he was not responsible for the fatal
termination of their trouble. On Thursday
night, he declares, both he and his mother
retired to their rooms to get rid of Weber,
who had assaulted them that afternoon
They were again the object of his brutali-
ty the next morning. Baker then went
to the home of his brother and got gun
for his own protection. After securing
the weapon, he says, Weber chased him,
and after the old man went into his own
home Baker, In order to brighten Weber,
shot at the house. He came out, so the
story goes, and chased Baker again.
The prisoner declares that while he was
running to get away he stumbled and
fell against tree, causing premature
explosion of the gun. The shot struck
Weber In the face and chest, killing him
almost instantly.

Death of car. Grnhh.

General E. Burd Grubb. former United
States Minister to Spain, and at one time
captain of the First City Troop, Philadel-
phia, died at St. Michael's Hospital, New
ark, shortly before noon yesterday.
General Grubb, who was superintendent
of the New Jersey Home for Disabled
Soldiers at Kearny, went to the New Hos
pital at Newark. on April "a, to have a
cataract removed. The operation left
him in a weakened state, and his condi-
tion was made worse by the protracted
hot spell of last week.
Mrs. Grubb was at the Generals bed
side when the end came. She Is said to
be Frustrated by the event, but 1t is not
believed that her condition is serious.
The dead soldier and diplomat had been
in charge Of the Kearny institution for
over two years, and 1t is believed that
allegations of inefficient management on
his part of the Homes affairs were
source of worriment to him and pre-
vented in part his recovery.
Until his removal to Newark General
Grubb had a handsome home at Edge
water Park where he and Mrs. Grubb
entertained on a generous scale.
General Grub was the son of Edward
Burd and Euphemia B. (Parker) Grubb,
and was born, November 10, 1S41. in Bur
lington.
His war record is we'll known to nearly
every inhabitant of this county. He en-
tered the army in 1861 and remained in
service until the close of the war.
In 1868 he married Elizabeth Van
Rensselaer,, who died in 1886, leaving a
daughter.
In 1889, Gen. Grub was nominated by
the Republicans as their candidate for
Governor, but was defeated by the ballot
box thieves of Hudson county. In 1898
he was appointed minister to Spain.
In 1891 he was again married, his second
wife, who. with son and daughter, sur
wives him, was Miss Violet Sopwith, of
Scotland.
The remains will be inferred In ST.
Mary's churchyard, Burlington, tomor
row afternoon at 325 o'clock.
