marlable conspiracies on record, accord
ing 10 the statements made by prosecutor
Frederick A. Pope at the hearing In the
court here to-day when he admitted 70
Judge Daniel n. Beekman that the sIdte =
case against Carl for atrocious assault
and the attempted murder Of Monroe r.
Ellis had failed.
In statement Of more than an hour
duration the Prosecutor told how ne anu
his detectives had been led into making
the arrest Of Carl and OF taking the ihno-
cent Mrs. Holly in custody as material
witness on the representations Of detec-
tive agency that carl had confessed 10
having shot Ellis. He did not mention
Mrs. Holly by name, but the records OIL
the Somerset County Jail show that BIC
was the woman in the case.
Carl knew what he was doing when ne
made the confession, said the Prosecu-
tor. As an evidence Of this he eHhloited
the written confession TO the court ana
pointed out certain corrections In the con-
fession written by one OF the detectives
present which Carl had eXacted before
he would consent 10 sign II. one OF these
corrections that Carl was very inslstent
about was that the woman IN the case
had offered him 500 to beat up Mr..
Ellis instead of doing him mortal
harm" as written in the confession.
The Prosecutor said that after hearing
Carl's confession he became suspicious OF
II. This led him to take Carl to Der
nardsville and place him in room with
the woman in the case, while he the
Prosecutor) stood outside with his ear
against the closed door.
He heard Carl say 20 the woman we
are both in bad, and you had better ad-
nit the charge and help me out
He heard the woman exclaim: Paul,
Won lie and you know you lie. What IS
tho matter with you, boy? Are you
crazy? Why have you told this terrible
story?"
II was then Carl told the woman the
trouble that he had with friend and
that he had made the fake confession
with the hope OF getting money TO get
out Of #. He promised the woman ne
would make a clean breast OF the whole
affair. and then told the Prosecutor as
he came from the room that he desired
10 repudiate his confession.
After hearing the Prosecutors STAKE
ment to the effect that the state had no
evidence to hold Carl. Judge Beekman
ordered his release Carl left the court
