There were three Of Cleary's friends in
the Town Clerks office when he shot

ter Bernard FoN. a political ally. and
Policeman Sheridan. Tho revolver. which
belonged to chief OF Police Ford. was
knocked out OF C,cary's hand by Fox
The District Attorney searched for IL
unavailingly. Fox says he did not see IL
again.
The cause OF the murder. the friendship
between the boy and girl goes back four
years. to the time when they were both
II years old and were constantly together
al parties and other affairs Of the children
OF the village. Their friendship ripened
with the years. until Newman's father
and Cleary used to laugh over il when
they met on the street, although II was
evident even then that Cleary hoped and
believed II would eventually end.
The parents were friends and political
allies. Frederick NJ Newman is part
owner Of the Rockldrd County Messenger
and man Of some influence In the COM
munity. Cleary was the big boss of the
town. the dispenser OF patronage and
help to the supporters Of his party. He
occupied in Haverstraw the place that the
late Big Tim sullivan did on the East
Side. and was regarded as the friend of
every one who was in trouble.
When the first news Of the murder burst
on the town people secuted IL as in
credible. They would not believe that
big Bill Cleary the kindly. genial man
they had known for so long. would de
llberately shoot down "A mere boy. That
was one OF the reasons why for some tim.
Cleary was not arrested; no one would
believe that he had done anything FOR
which he should be arrested
Then, when conviction came. sentiment
turned against him. and the rage OF a
great part OF the townsfolk. particularly

grounds for years. was intense The vii
lage trustees heard complaints against the
Police Department for neglect OF duty in
not arrestlng Cleary until long after the
murder was committed.

William v. Cleary.

to Young Newman nobody seems to know.
The Newmans are protestants and the
Cledrys Catholics. but II is not believed
that religion WAS the basis ot dislike
founded when Newman was sim IN
knckerbockers. The boy was not wav-
ward on the contrary, rather quiet and
reserved. and 1t was noticed 10y neigh
bors that shyness seemed to be the
chief characteristics OF his relations
with Cleary's daughter, who was two
years his senior
As they grew older the bond between
them grew firmer. until Newman went
South to work In a hotel lie stayed there
for several months. His letters from the
girl at home are said 20 have been the
cause Of his return last July. The you1g
couple planned marriage only to en-
counter the rigid opp Jsition OF Cleary.
They decided that the only thing t.
do was to marry without his consent. and
on July Is went to Ioboken where the
Rev. Frederick A. LIGHT performed the
ceremony. They left. asking that the
certificate he forwarded t. them by mai.

Important Point Disputed.
A disputed point which viii have great
bearing on the Questi IN of premedl,l-
ton is whether or not tleary knew OF
the marriage before Newman went to him
to tell of IL and was shot. Cleary has
denied this. but District Attorney Gagan
says he can prove through the bov's
grandmother. Mrs. James Kennedy, that
Cleary had been told
Mrs Kennedy has said that her grand
son came to her house on July 80. told II
the secret marriage in Hoboken and said
he was going 10 tell his father-in-law.
He then called up his wife. and after

of Daughter Whose Boy Husband He Shot
Girl Torn Between Desire to
Shield Father and Loyalty
to Dead Husband.
BREADS ORDEAL OF TRIAL

When william v. Cleary the Town
Clerk and political boss OF Haverstraw,
comes to trial in New City on Thursday
for killing his eighteen yearold son.in.
Law. Eugene NJ Newman II is possible
that his fate will hang on the testimony
OF his daughter. whose intimacy and mar
rlage with Newman eXasperated him to
the verge of madness.
Since she recovered from the first
shock of the murder in Cleary's Office In
July the possibility of the ordeal at the
trial has been before the young widow.
She has hoped that she would not have
to face it. and 1t seems certain that the
prosecution will not call her. But there
remains a chance that the defence will
appeal to the unwritten law and that the
testimony of Mrs Newman, whose we'd
ding ring merely accentuates her youth,
will be the pivotal point in the trial.
Two theories of the shooting have been
advanced. one. that Cleary's discovery
OF his daughters physical condition before
her marriage made him wild with rage,
and that his aversion to young Newman
was such that even after he learned of
the wedding he took the first opportunity
to Kill the boy The other theory is that
he knew nothing Of the wedding and
that the anguish of a father who believed
his daughter ruined beyond reparation
led to the murder
would Re Dilemma for Daughter.
1t is believed in Haverstraw that 80
many witnesses to the events that led up
to the murder have been found that
neither OF these theories wit necessarily
require the support Of the testimony OF
Cleary's daughter suppos'ng that II
should be favorable to Cleary. but the
Il. r
plea of the unwritten law might count
heavily upon the appearance on the stand
of the attractive girl whose unfortunate
love AFFAIR. Cleary is said TO have de-
clared. was the cause OF his act.
OF course no one knows to what Mrs.
Newman will testify. She has never
been questioned on the subject. But IL she
should take the stand she would face
squarely the dilemma that has been haunt
ing her for months Her story might in
cludc events that would possibly justify
to the jury the state OF mind in which
Cieary was at the time OF the shooting,
or she might tell OF an innocent and ro-
mantle attachment that would do any
thing but make the case against her
father lighter.
There are other features that have
served to make the murder Of Young New
man an overshadowing topic Of CONVERSE
ton in Haverstraw. The disappearance
of the revolver and tho activity Of Cleary's
political associates--he has been Tor years
an important figure in Rockland county
politics-have aroused curiosity and COM
ment.

Well, Mr.. Anderson, of Illinois,
seems to produce some very in

Lincoln's life, especially some of
his stories. l family remember
of his stories on one occasion in
which he was running for Mayor
of his city and being so overly
confident of his election, on leav-
ing his home the morning Of the
election, remarked and said to
his wife, that she would take
supper with the Mayor of that
city tonight. So late in the af-
ternoon, the election being over
and Mr.. Lincoln defeated. Mrs.
Lincoln having received the news
dressed Up and met Mr.. Lincoln
at the yard gate, and Mr.. Lin
coin to his great surprise eagerly
inquired where she was going.
To which she replied: that she
was going down to take supper
with the Mayor according to his
predictions in the forenoon when
he started to the election.
