he'd performed his part of the con-
tract by producing Frankel.
Rosenbaums first step toward get
ting the money was taken in the
Harrison Polio Court. Then he asked
Police Justice Joseph M Branegan, OF
Harrison, what he could do. The JUS
tice said nothing could be done in a
criminal court. Rosenbaum told the
police he was q very surprised man
at having to go to court at all. He
said he had expected no trouble In
collecting his fee. He was a "schat-
zen,' he said, and wasn't accustomed
to having payments for husbands
withheld. Brother Gold said he didn't
think his father had ever entered into
such contract as this fellow speaks
of"
Rosenbaum persisted, though, and
retained Lawyer Elias A. Kanter to
bring civil suit. Nothing. was heard
of the matter for few days, until
the announcement was made today
that a compromise payment of $50
had been accepted.

this conclusion he was supported by
the city attorney.
"The evidence presented TO us
clearly showed that all the officials
concerned in the payment of this bill
relied upon the opinion of the city
counsel that the claim was legal.
Whether or not the opinion of the
city counsel was as n matter of law
sound is a question with which we
are not concerned, because, so far as
the evidence shows, all the other city
officials concerned relied on 1t in
good falth, and so far as he is con-
cerned, we have no reason to doubt
| that he stated the law as he actually
| believed ii to be.
mot only was there no evidence
presented to us showing or tending
| to show that any city official had any
| interest, direct or indirect, in tie
Essex Construction Company, but no
| intimation of such interest was made
by any one, directly or indirectly.
1.-The foregoing considerations have
| led the grand jury to the conclusion
| that the various officials concerned in
| the payment of the bill in question to
| the Essex Construction Company
acted in good faith, and have there
fore been guilty of no indictable Of
fense. And this decision of the grand
| jury is unanimous"
Chief Justice Agrees With Jurors.
The chief Justices reply to the
presentment of the grand jury was
as follows:
For the satisfaction of the mem
bers of the grand jury--if 1t be any
satisfaction to them-I'n say l am
not at all surprised at the conclusion
you have reached.
MY own investigation, made prior
| to my charge to you, led me to the
same conclusion, but l thought, first,
| that the Judgment of an assemblage
of men like a grand jury was more
| likely to be accurate than the 1udg-
ment of single man and, secondly,
that the people of this county were
| entitled to have this matter inYesti-
| gated publicly-that is, by a body
representative of the public-and the
conclusion of such body announced
| publicly"
The chief justice thanked the jurors
and dismissed them till they are noti-
| fed that their services are wanted
again, which will probably be before

sented to do so the proceedings end

Mrs. Edna H. Cells, of s5 Amherst

and other courts because 7 studied

Harry krusen. the creditor who
brought the proceedings TO open the
composition, was the last witness.
He admitted he was the largest credi-
tor of the Union Sash a Door Com
pany. These accounts accumulated
when Krusen, a lumber salesman,
sold material 10 the company and
guaranteed the accounts.
The East orange man admitted that
he secured a mortgage for l,oSs to
insure him from loss on the material
furnished the Union Sash & Door
Company. Krusen denied he got this
mortgage on the condition he would
assist in putting through COM
position of 20 per cent. with the
creditors.
George Furst himself told me that
mortgage was worth a nickel, said
Krusen, "and I never believed II was
worth a nickel. II always seemed to
me there was no reason for throwing
the company into bankruptcy. All
the lumber men | talked with seemed
to think that in the short time they
were doing business the Union Sash
and Door Company had done we'll.
Alvin Cass, who appeared as coun-
sci with George Furst, sought to show
that Krusen first attempted TO secure
himself for the full amount of his
claim against the door company. In
addition TO this, II was said Krusen
accepted his share of the 20 per cent
composition. although then in pos

wasn't worth nickel
Mr. Davis then sought to bring the
hearing to a. close on the plea he had
to catch a train to keep an important
engagement at Trenton. Judge Haight
said 1t would be impossible to close
the hearing at that time.
"Mr. Furst probably will want to
be heard as counsel for the receiver"
said the judge. land Mr.. Kessler. the
receiver, also will want to be heard.
If they don't want to be heard, at
any rate | want to hear them. II
