Charles n. Norbury Gets Ver-
dict of $4,oo2.o4 Against

Final judgment for 81 1924 was
ordered against jeremiah f. % Brien,
of 526. Summer avenue, head of the
O'Brien Detective Agency, in favor of
Charles H. Norbury by Judge Will
lam p. Martin i'm the Court of Com

Norbury, who was a captain in

Wharton during the miners strike
in May, 1915.
He WAS awarded $40 a week for 400
weeks by Judge Harry V. Osborne n

ity act. At that time O'Brien con-
tended that the county of Morris was
Norburys employer, but the court
decided otherwise.
Norbury, in a petition TO the Court
of Common Pleas today, declared that
he had been unable to collect any
money from O'Brien since the award
and that O'Brien declares that he has
no money to satisfy the claim. Nor
bury asserts that Notwithstanding
OBrien's claim of poverty, consider
able sums are being held in trust by
other persons and that the judgment
OF the court could be satisfied IL
O'Brien wished to do so,
Judge Martin granted the plea, de-
claring lthe entire amount OF tho

J|TNEY OWNER
HEARD AGAIN
ON OLD CHARGE
Fielder Also Has to Answer
New One-Old Fine
Upheld.

Emil Fielder. a jtney driver, twen-
ty-four years old. of 257 Bergen
street, who had given the police
some trouble to locate him after
summons recently was given a hear
ing by Judge Wolf in the Fourth Pre-
cinct Court today on an alleged
traffic rule violation for which he was
found guilty and fined $40 on July
is. incidentally he was called upon to
answer another complaint lodged
against him for an alleged infraction
Of the traffic rules last night After
hearing the evidence in both COM
plants Judge Wolf allowed the
original fine to stand, but suspended
sentence on the second charge.
In court today Fielder asserted that
Patrolman Heitzenroder, of the Sixth
precinct who arrested him on July
16, for passing a moving trolley car
on the left side. seemed to be in
toxicated," and used ugly tactics"
AS witnesses to corroborate his story
Fielder brought a man who was n
passenger on his jitney. and the con
ductor of the machine.
Heitzenroder was on his vacation
on the day the arrest was made. He
testified that he jumped on Fiedler's
car at Springfield avenue and Prince
street. dIter ne mao seen f1eulef
drive to the left of trolley car. The
jitney driver. Heitzenroder said. re-
fused to give his name and address
until the car had reached the tubes.
"I told him to give me his name or
| would lock him up said Heitzen-
roder. mot until then would he give
me the information | desired
Fielder said he did not know that
Heitzenroder. who was in plain
clothes, was a policeman until the
tubes were reached, because until that
time the officer had refused to show
his badge, the witness asserted.
Judge Wolf said the testimony Of
Fiedler's witness was not convincing
and if anything helped to make out
a case against the jitney man.
Fielder was arrested i'm front of the
Velodrome, on South Orange avenue,
by Patrolman Gessel. Of the Seventh
precinct, last night, for failing to pull
in close to the curb before stopping
the machine. The defendant adj
mitted the charge, but stated that
there had been a number of cave-ins
near the gutter in front of the Velo-
drome, and that he considered it
dangerous to drive too close to the
curb.
II guess the $40 fine is enough
punishment this time said Judge
Wolf. 81 will suspend sentence on
the second charge

COL. EDWARDS
TELLS METHODS
OF THE S.P. c. A.
Explains TO Legislative Com
mittee Why Cases Were TAX
en- to Justices of Peace.

That agents OF the S. p C. A. now
hesitate to make arrests, and have
great difficulty when they do so, be-
cause of belief by horse-a busers that
the agents cannot arrest them, was
declared today by Colonel Edward S.
Edwards, president of the :. p. C. A.
in testifying before the legislative
committee continuing its probe of the
s. p. c. A.
He said that Wejudice has grown
so against the society that it has af-
fected the police court justices.
owing to criticisms they have re-
ceived, owing TO their having to fight
now in every case, and owing to the
horse-a abusers' belief that they can't
arrest them, the agents now hesitate
to make the arrest" said Colonel Ed
wards.
Colonel Edwards defended the S. p
c. A. organization from allegations of
injustice. The hearing was in the
Offices of the Essex County Tax
Board, on the tenth floor of the Kin
ney building.
Three members of the Assembly
committee were present, Assembly
man Charles Pilgrim. who con-
Quoted the examination; Assembly
man Harry y. johnson. chairman of
the special committee, and Assembly
man B. Randall.
Suggest Agreement.
Assemolyman Pilgrim attempted to
bring out that there might be an
agreement between Justices of the
peace and the society whereby con-
Victed offenders were let go without
any fine and had to pay only the
cost of the hearing
You can't say whether convictions
resulted only In the payment of costs,
by an arrangement between the So
ciety and the justices of the peace?"
asked Mr. Pilgrim. Colonel Edwards
couldn't.
IF n mans fine was RENTED and
he escaped with costs, was ii out of
tenderness for the man, or for the
police officer asked Mr.. Pilgrim.
Likely both, said Colonel Ed
wards.
He stated that the justices of the
peace were entitled to be paid for
the work, and said that when the
society failed to secure convictions
and was billed by the justices for
costs it paid them.
Colonel Edwards. president of
the society, was questioned by
the committee on the society's
alleged practice of haling of
tenders to justices of the peace
instead If to police judges. despite
the fact that the latter were nearer
at hand.
Testimony was given that of 2,s59

LARGEST CORN CROP
IS NOW ANTICIPATED
LOGAN'S YIELD WILL REACH
MILLION BUSHELS, SAY ELE-
VAToR MEN

Elevator men in the county estL
mate that more than a million bushels
of corn will be raised in Logan this
year. If this estimate is correct 1t
will be more than four times as
much corn as was produced in 1914.
The planting of corn this year was
very late, as a rule and that fact alone
makes the unprecedented yield more
remarkable. Some farmers delayed
planting until July. Present indica-
tions ar that this late corn will
yield as bountifully as the corn that
was planted earlier.
Many fields will produce as high as
10 bushels to the acre, The nam
moth corn crop will more than offset
the short acreage of cotton planted
his year, and will bring the farmers
much better returns.
