The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1914-11-24

Over two years ago Mrs. Dellinger W,
struck by DR.. Wintersteen's automobil
The testimony was quite conclusive tn,
the doctor was not responsible for the il
Ijuries inflicted upon the woman, but tt
point that settled the case was the ev
dence that the man who brought til
suit was not the legal husband of IL
woman, that gentleman still being ally
although he had not lived with Mr.
Dellinger for a long time prior to ht
death which occurred two months ag'
This, of course, showed that Dellingt
had no right to make claim for dan
ages and the case was quickly take
from the jury.
A suit of the defunct State Mutus
Building and Loan Association agains
Harry Goodman, trustee for Clarenc
Goodman, and Patrick Cryan, resulte'
| in favor the Association. The defend
ants had given notes for settlement
claims, although they said they though
the papers were withdrawal certificates
There was no difficulty in showing the.
were mistaken and verdict was givel
against them.
The case in which there was shoot
ing at Beverly, an arrest, and the alb
sconding of the justice of the peace witt
the bail money, was revived by Edward
Caterall and others suing the bondsmer
of the fugitive justice for the amount
they had put in his hands. 1t may D'
remembered that when the grand jury
was ready to act in the case mentioned
the justice had not only failed to file the
necessary papers, but he had also ief'
without leaving his address or telling
where the cash bail put up for the prison
er was to be found. Nothing was done
with the matter and the gentlemen who
had furnished the bail felt they were en-.
titled to have it returned. AS the JUS
tice was not around they went after his
bondsmen. Judge Carrow reserved his
decision.
Judge Lippincott tried case on We'd
nesday. 1t was David Henson VS.. Mar
ion p. Chase, executrix of Rosanna Hen
son, deceased, both of Mount Holly. The
suit was to recover $1,000 per week for
Henson's services in nursing his mother.
He said he gave up job paying him
that sum per week, on the promise OF
his mother that he should be recon-
pensed for nursing her. Unfortunately
Henson apparently got mixed in his
dates for he claimed services from June
Is, 1912, while his mother died nearly
two months before that time, so it did
not take long TO arrive at decision in
this case which was dismissed.
Judge Lippincott gave his attention to
some criminal cases on Thursday.
Albert S. Lippincott, of Masonville,
pleaded guilty to DESERVING his child.
The charge against him included his
wife, also, but she was in court and said
she did not wish that part of the charge
pressed, as she was keeping boarders
and could take care of herself. She did
think, however, that he should look af-
ter the child. LippincOtt admitted
going away; he said there were circum-
stances which made his home life un-
bearable. He did not care to have
them made public, however, and would
give bond to pay the child So per week
and would pay all the costs at once.
This was satisfactory to the court and
the man was allowed to go.
John Eckman was another deserter of
family. He pleaded guilty to the charge.
He has wife and seven children and
they were put in sore straits when he
left them. He laid his present situation
to drink and another woman. His wife
had written to the Prosecutor and asked
that her husband might be allowed to
come home as she believed he would do
better, SO Judge Lippincott put Eckman
on the probation list with pledge to
abstain from liquor for two years.
Annie Schumacher pleaded guilty to
stealing articles from Fry's hotel. The
woman had been employed at the hotel
for about week and then gave notice
that she was going to leave. Mrs. Fry
had her suspicious aroused that all was
not well so she went to Annie's room
and gained access to the woman's trunk
in which she found a variety of articles
from box of matches to canned goods,
sheets and other things. A warrant was
issued and after some time being spent
searching for the woman she was found
hiding in vacant lot. In response to
inquiries by the court she gave the
names and addresses of several persons
for whom she had worked and Judge
Lippincott decided to let the case rest
until he had made further Investigation.
Frank StubbIefield was sent to the
state prison for from three to seven years.
His crime was stealing horse and
wagon. He could not offer any excuse
for his act.
Probation officer Slaughter called the
attention of the court to the case of
Roland Erickson, of Delanco. The boy
has not reported in accordance with the
rules of the court, has not paid the costs,
and is suspected of being implicated in
some robberies that have been taking
place. The case was laid over for Mr..
Slaughter to look into.
John Cremo was placed on trial for
breaking and entering the store of Frank
Yusick, at Cambridge. The defence
was that he was not the real culprit, but
the evidence was quite plain. Creme is
mere boy. There were two of them in
the affair but the other fellow escaped
Sentence was not pronounced on Creme
as it was hoped he might give the name
of his companion. 1t is thought thai
these two boys have been in several rob
berries that have recently taken place al
Cambridge.
Russell Carr, of Cookstown, was tried
by the court on the charge of having
stabbed man. He was found guilty
but the facts in the case warranted {
suspension of sentence. Carr does no
appear to be very strong mentally ane
it seemed that he had been induced t,
drink by several men who ought to hav'
known better, and it was while unde
the influence of liquor that he commit
ted the deed.
Judge Iippincott filed opinions in twt
cases that were recently tried before hin
under the employers liability act.
