SAME JURY PANEL
DEPUTIES
Justice Bergen Has Not Set
Date to Sentence 9 Men Con-
victed of MansIaughter.

The same foreign jury panel from
which was selected the jury that
tried the ten deputies last week will
be used again in securing jury to
try the remaining fifteen deputies,
1t was learned today. There was a
question whether it would be neces-
sary to make a new application to
the supreme court for foreign jury,
but Prosecutor w. Edwin Fiorance
was quite sure that the original
application for foreign jury grant
ed by the supreme court covered the
total number of indicted deputies.
Joseph E. Stricken, chief counsel for
the defense, agreed also that such
was the case.
In this event the placing on trial
of the remaining fifteen deputies in
the county Jail will be accelerated,
as it will only be necessary to sub
poena the same panel from Mercer
county to appear at New Brunswick
on a certain date to secure another
jury to try the remaining fifteen
men.
Supreme Court Justice James J..
Bergen has not yet set a date for
the sentence of the ten deputies con-
victed Of manslaughter, the grade Of
which sentence will determine the
defense's action relative to appeal.
Neither has q date been fixed for the
trial Of the remaining fifteen men,
but it Is likely that their trial will
be moved the first part of July II not
sooner.

CHARACTER COUNTS IN
MONMOUTH LICENSES

Freehold June 2:-In granting a
liquor license for the American hotel
at Long Branch to Mrs. Mary Corbett,
County Judge Ruff V. Lawrence yes
terday again drew attention to his
previously announced policy of con-
sidering license applications largely
ON the character of the applicants.
The court declared that he had care
fully compiled the petitions and re-
monstranees for and against the
American hotel license. The petit
tions in favor of the license he found
more numerous than those against,
but his mind was made up, not as a
result of this examination, but from
the knowledge he had of the charac-
ter of Mrs. Corbett. Judge Lawrence
made it plain that he was not issuing
the license for the purpose of allow
ing the hotel to be capitalized and de-
clared that if application for a trans
fer were made he would treat the ap-
plication as a new one.

KNOTTY QUESTIONS
FOR EXCISE BOARD
viii Consider Application for
Transfer from Hall Ave. to
State St.-Many Protests.

ers will be confronted with another
knotty question at their meeting to-
morrow night when an application
for transfer of a saloon license of
to 666 State street, near the Lehigh
Valley railroads main Office will
come before them for considerations
No definite action can be taken at
the meeting because the application
will have to be laid over under the
rules. A remonstrance embodying
signatures Of property owners in the
vicinity has been filed with City
Clerk LaRoe, and the Lehigh Valley
railroad also objects to the proposed
placing of the saloon SO near the
main ONCE as to threaten to jeopar-
die the efficiency Of their employees
working at the terminal.
As with former remonstrances
come Of the same people have signed
the portest as have signed the Pc
tition asking that the transfer be
made.
One of the officials of the Lehigh
Valley stated this morning that he
fit to deny the transfer. He deemed
that 1t would be detrimental to the
railroad to place saloon in such
convenient reach of it's employees.
Emil Bohnsack will ask for a
transfer of his saloon license from
1880 Smith street to 146 Smith
street, a building owned by himself.

HALLAHAN ESTATE
PROPERTY IS SOLD
Corner of Smith Street and
Madison Avenue Bought by
N. ]. Man-Price $4,000.

One of the largest real estate
deals during the past year was effect
ed when the southwest corner of
Madison avenue and Smith street
was sold through Alpern & Company
to a New York hotel man. Though
the consideration is not given, it Is
declared to have been between
$4,000 and $4,000.
The property was owned by Miss
Charlotte A. Haliahan and sold to
Emanuel Levi, of New York. The
property was left to Miss Hallahan
by her mother, whose will was con-
tested by her son, William Hallahan,
of Market street. In the settlement
of the suit Miss Hallahan received
the corner property as her part in
her mothers estate. The tract ex-
tends 105 feet on Smith street and
I25 feet on Madison avenue. There
is two-story dwelling located on
the property.
Mr.. Levi expects to erect three
story building on the site, which may
be used for a hotel or stores and
apartments. He will take title to
the property July Is. Mr.. Alpern
when asked the amount of consider
alton declared it was the biggest deal
he had closed during the past three
years, but that he did not want to
give the exact amount at this time.
/ Ever since the settlement of the
estate of the late Mrs. Charlotte
Hallahan some months ago the pro-
, perty has been in the market. The
realty firm tried In vain to get local
interests to invest In the purchase
and improvement of the valuable
site. Mr.. Alpern then sought out
side capital, and in short time
found a buyer in Mr.. Levi, who is
owner of a hotel in Broadway, New
York, it is said, and considered that
! the site in the heart of the city
would make an ideal location for a
real hotel for Perth Amboy.
With the improvement of the
property, whether hotel building
or stores and apartments will be
erected, one of the last vacant spaces
along Smith street, from the water
front to the car barns, will have been
built on. With the exception of the
property about the corners Of Smith
and Maple streets there are but sew
eral vacant plots on which addition
al commercial buildings may be
erected. The Improvement of the
Hallahan property il a step toward

will either have to expand outward
or proceed to raise the present build
ings to greater heights.
