Trenton, Dec. 23.-After serving
seven and half years in the New Jer-
sey state prison and being twice in the
shadow Of the gallows. John f. Schuy-
Ter was to-day paroled by the Court of
Pardons because its members believed
ne was innocent Of the murder Of Man
ming Riley. Riley was clubbed to death
on a road near Califon, Hunterdon
County, in 1907.
On the day Schuyler was 20 be
hanged the FIRST time he received a
reprieve and the second time he re-
ceived q commutation TO life imprison-
ment.
There have been rumors FOR years
that the murderer was Frank Burd.

Committee called Burd and after he
vas assured that a confession would
not be used against him he told how
Amos Lee had persuaded him 70 help
attack Riley because Riley had beaten
loo in a fight. Lee, according 10 the
story. held Riley while Burd struck
him with a fence rail.
n is unlikely that Burd will be tried
for the crime because his confession
cannot be used against him and Lee
has been missing for several years.
Schuyler went home tonight TO his

RESERVE BANK CUTS RATE
Local Institution Trying Hard
TO Attract Business.

Following the reduction announced
last week in its rates for rediseount-
ing, the New York Reserve Bank is
notifying the member banks Of an
other cut in the rate, bringing il down
70 IA per cent for thirty-day paper
and S per cent for longer maturities.
The rates recently put into effect were
3 per cent for thirty-dsy paper and
5ia per cent and per cent for sixty
and ninety day paper.
Behind the lowering OF discount
rates by the local reserve institution
was seen a determined attempt by its
officials 10 attract business. Il is well
known that the bank has not been pay
ing expenses since il began operations
on November IS, and unless the re-
diScounting feature, which was de-
pended upon 70 bring in revenue. can
be utilized soon the member banks
are already beginning TO talk Of an
assessment.
The banks Of this district have not
taken advantage Of the rediscoun;
privilege afforded by the New York Re-
serve Bank because Of the plethora OF
funds they are carrying. Then, also,
commercial paper rates are so low that
il would not be a profitable transaction
to rediscount the paper obtained by
such loans.
