TO TEACH A CHILD TO STEAL

Carefully lock away from him all
fruits and sweets. Allow him no money
for personal expenses. If you miss
anything, accuse him of having taken
it. If you send him out to make pur-
chases, count the change with sus-
picious care when he returns. If he
has lost few pennies, accuse him of
having spent them for candy. If you
never buy candy for him, this will
teach him a means of supplying him
self, and probably your next accusa-
tons will be true.
Strike children and they will learn
to strike each other; scold them and
they will learn to quarrel; give them
drums and flags and uniforms and
toy guns and they desire to become
professional murderers. Open their
letters, listen to their conversations
with their young friends, pry into
their little secrets, invade their pri-
vate rooms without knocking, and you
make them meddlers and disagree
able compSnions.-Clara Dixon David
son.

ORDINARY CASES
IN CRIMINAL COURT
Several Cases Disposed of
Yesterday.
ONE VERDICT ACQU|TTAl
Another Defendant Was Con-
victed, His Offense Being
an Attempted Escape.

The case of the State against Naz-
arino Mortillaro for assault and bat
terry on his daughter tried before
Judge Loder yesterday, was the first
criminal case before the new Judge
and the first criminal case tried by the
new Prosecutor Edwin F. Miller.
1t was concluded and did not seem
to be more than a family squabble be-
tween father and daughter.
Mrs. Capella testified that her faith
er came to her house, broke the win
dow and entered the house, and when
she came down stairs, where she had
been sick with headache, he seized
her and beat her, and when she ran
out of the house and screamed for the
neighbors. He then seized rake and
struck her with it, and when she fled
he threw big stone at her. The rake
scratched and bruised her head and
face.
Two witnesses corroborated Mrs.
Capello's story.
The defense was a denial of the
assault; the defendants story was to
the effect that the woman resided
alone in the little house; her father
farmed the ground, and he went to the
house at this time to get a wash board
hqlnnoin Or r., tho v,<~fI,o,. I'M ..s.-..z -,
April 18th last, and when he went
there for the wash board she flew into
a passion and ran screaming from the
house. He denied striking her or in
any wise assaulting her He had al
lowed her to live in the house after
her husband had left her.
Prosecutor Miller lost his first case.
The jury in the case of the State
against Nazarino Mortello returned
verdict of not guilty after being out
but half hour.
The next case to be moved was that
OF the State against Charles Pierce,
indicted for an attempt to break Jail.
An argument at side bar by the defend
ants counsel and the Prosecutor, re-
suited in the defendants counsel, F.
A. Stanger Jr., in making a motion to
ser aside the Indictment and that the
defendant be discharged. The motion
was denied and jury was empaneled
to try the case.
The defendant, Charles Pierce, has
been committed to Jail by Justice
Chard, of Millville, on conviction of
non-support of his wife and children.

Bridgeton pioneer., 1914-05-07

On the morning of April 18th last,
Pierce was let out of his cell on the
second floor, into the corridor, in ord
er that his cell might be scrubbed,
together with those of Others.
When it was necessary to put the
prisoners back into the cells, Pierce
had disappeared. Diligent search
found him secreted under a platform,
and when pulled out from beneath the
platform an iron. bludgeon, made of
bent up strap iron was found in his
coat. He was put back into his cell.
Custodian of the prisoners, Frank
D. Paullin, was sworn, and testified to
the above statement. Mr.. Paullin said
that Pierce, with his bludgeon, might
have attacked a single keeper un-
awares, knocked him out, secured his
keys and escaped.
George Mcdonald, formerly jail
strusty" said he assisted in the search
for Pierce, and crawling under the
platform, lighted match, when he
saw Pierce secreted there in a dark
corner. He told Pierce to come out,
and himself backed out when the pris-
oner was secured.
George Blew, the fail warden, gave
similar testimony.
This concluded the States case.
Mr.. Stanger made a motion for the
direction of verdict of acquittal. The
court overruled the motion.
The defence was a denial of any at
tempt to escape, and Pierce was put
on the stand. He said he was helping
to scrub up the cells and corridors
along with others, and when doing this
he had no intention of trying to escape.
He only crawled under the platform
as a matter of fun.
He denied having the bludgeon. He
declared it was not in his coat pocket.
He said he was not pulled out from
beneath the platform, but he said he
crawled out himself. This closed the
defense.
The summing up was brief and Judge
Loder charged the jury with a short,
but concise view of the facts, and they
retired. 1t was but a short time and
they returned verdict of guilty of
an attempt to break JAIL and court
adjourned for the day.

Judge Leroy W. Loder this morning,
Prosecutor Miller announced that he
was ready to move the case of the

roads were properly made, and then
an oil binder was used.
There was general proposition
that the paved streets should be oiled
so that the dust nuisance would be
eliminated.
Council finally agreed to have con-
ference concerning roads on Thursday
night of this week.
w. T. Laning recommended that the
Public Works Commissioner was au-
thorized to arrange an office in what
was built for coal bunker, and which
cannot be used for coal storing pur-
poses. He was also directed to have
a concrete paving outside of the build
ing upon which to pile the coal supply.

missioner on Public Works be author
lied to secure bids for 5000 feet of con-
crete pavement for coal.

nance be passed to control the park.

Commission had no power to compel
boat licenses. and that the Park Com
mission would have no authority with
out an ordinance passed by Council.

mission. but upon his motion, Mr.. Ry-
nick was told to put his troubles in
writing and submit them to the cor
poration counsel for an opinion.

be requesed to meet Council and con-
fer regarding the matter.

SUGAR REFINERs SHIP SUGAR
TO ENGLAND.
E'-

Galveston, Tex, Oct. 1.-THE OBJ
structing landslide in the Panama
canal will not delay traffic more than
one week, according to information
received by prospective shippers to-
day from the canal commission. On
this information it is expected that
the steamship City of Naples, that
is loaded with cotton and ready to
steam, will leave port tomorrow for
Japan, but her clearance was de
layed.
The first granulated sugar to be
exported from Galveston is being
loaded on the British steamship No
cosian, bound for Liverpool, and this
first shipment of 5000 bags of 1OC
pounds each will be followed by
exportations of some 900 to 1,O0C
tons, according to report.
BY taking advantage of the draw
back, the dealers are able to put
the granulated sugar in Liverpool
at a cheaper price, 1t is reported
than the British manufacturers can
produce it, a condition brought about
by the war. The sugar being ex-
ported is owned by the Sugarland
Refining company of Sugarland and
benefits by a 80 per cent drawback
in duty, from the amount paid when
it was imported through Galveston
from Cuba.

NEW YORK OIL MEN
VISIT IN ARDMORE

David Gunsburg of Buffalo, n. Y,
who is here with his partner. G.. A.
Fcrman, was at the Randol hotel
Friday night. These men have spent
their lives in the oil business. Their
fathers were among the first oil
producers in the United States, and
the young men have extended their
holdings until they are among the
largest oil producers in the entire
country. They have large holdings
in the Oklahoma fields. Mr.. Guns
burg stated that the producers here
are right in contending against a
further reduction &C oil; he said he
would store his oil before he would
sell for less than soc. In section
1888 he is building a tank fam
now. His fourth tank will be COM
pleted Monday and the bottom is
laid for the fifth tank. When these
tanks are finished he will have room
for 275,000 barrels of oil. Mr.. Guns
burg said he usually did not take
much interest in politics, but said
he was very anxious to see Eugene
b. Lawson of Nowata elected lieu
tenant governor. Mr. Lawson, he
says, is a substantial business man,
rather than a politician, that he
would make an ideal president of
the senate, and while he does not
hope to see him elected in a dem
ocratic state like Oklahoma, yet
he would like to see the people, as
a whole select such men as their
officials.

Horse Race Broke Up Court.

Texas has had some freakish brands
of justice administered. Beginning
with the time the pioneers wrested the
lone star state from the MeXicans and
day, justice has often been swift and
sure, and in a majority of the cases
just, at the hands of the sturdy Texans
who struggled to build their homes in
the wilderness and plains of that great
state. A few years ago about where
the town of Sanderson now stands,
there was crude justice of the peace,
who proclaimed himself THE Law
West of the Pecos," and proceeded with
horse sense and six shooter to civil
ize the unruly cowboys and obstreper-
Gus "Greaser.' This plan worked very
satisfactory and when the old man
passed from the scene of action he left
a country where it was absolutely safe
to leave the stable door unlocked and
the windows of the log cabins wide
open at all hours.
1t remained for North Texas to fur
nish a precedent in administering JUS
tice that has never been adhered to,
although there are many who believe
more justice would be done were it a
fact.
The first trial ever held in Grayson
county was before Uncle Bob Wheelock,
justice of the peace who is well known
TO many of the citizens of this city.
What the case was about does not mat
ter, but jury was demanded, and as
the male population of that vicinity
was restricted the women were called
upon and several sat as jurors with
their husbands and brothers All went
well until the hour for dinner arrived
Over a good meal the court and Jurors
began to discuss the merits of well
known running horses owned in the
vicinity, and so absorbed they became
that a race was matched then and there
W ldhC pldOC llilllltuldlCly dllCl ulllllCI'
When the horses lined up at the post
ii was found that there were several who
would like to try conclusions and con-
test for supremacy with the result that
several more matches were made and
the sport began.
Before the last race had been run
the shades of night were falling fast,
and the court and litigants had been
so absorbed in the events that the suit
was entirely lost sight of Too late
to do anything, the court adjourned
until some future time, and all left for
their respective homes.
That suit has never been settled until
this day; the litigants never reappeared
the court never recalled the tribunal, !
and the children of the contesting par
ties, if living, have no record OF any
such litigation
In speaking of the matter several
years afterwards, Justice Wheelock
stated that he had forgotten just what
the suit was about, but it was some
trivial matter not nearly as important
as a good horse race.
