In his charge to the Ocean county
grand jury, on Tuesday, Chief Justice
Gummere made reference to the sale of
liquor. He said he understood it was
the custom for men having wholesale
licenses to deliver the liquors in another
municipality, when the liquor had been
bought and paid for at his place of bust
ness. This he said laid the seller open to
indictment. He had no right to deliver
the liquor outside the municipalitv
where his place was located and for
which he obtained "A license The Chief
Justice said the sale was not completed
until the goods were delivered, and to
deliver in another municipality from
the one in which he had a license, was
TO sell In that territory. Ignorance of the
law IN this matter he said was no excuse.
Inc license holder was assumed to know
the limitations of his license. 1t was inn
porCant that indictments be found when
ever a license holder violated the law, or
else the grand jury was in effect telling
them that the holder of a license could |
sell whenever he pleased, wherever he
pleased and to whomSoeVer he pleased |
without any regard for law.
Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw, wife of the |
notorious Harry K. Thaw, was a visitor |
at Seaside Park, last week, and created
quite sensation there. She was there
as moving picture star for film COM
pany, and did some sensational embark
ing and landing stunts at the public
JOCK with company of actors and
much larger number of inquisitive
spectators, who wanted to see what man
1er OF woman it was that had stirred up
Inc Thaw-White tragedy. The big
schooner yacht Chico, owned by George
5: candy, ST., was impressed into ser
wee and used in making the film pic I,
lures. The dainty actress embarked
rom the dock to the yacht, and then
again was taken leaving the yacht for
he shore and landing on the dock. 1t
S only fair to say that most folks who
lad heard Mrs. Thaw described and
aved over, decided either that she had
'hanged greatly since her former period /
u notoriety, or else that her beauty at
nat time was overrated. The small
cion OF the Thaws with several nurses
md servants accompanied its mother
here, but was not conspicuous in the film
pictures. Pictures were also taken of !,
Mrs. Thaw landing from the surf on the
1each at the fishpound below Seaside
Park, and another reel was taken at the
Jay draw, on the p. r. r. The films 1
ire said to be taken for a play to be
allied the Threads of Destiny" in which
part OF the scene is laid in Russia and
part in this country.
