COURT AWARDS
FORDYCE NURSE
S5FOR 10 WEEKS
Compensation for Injuries Due
to Stabbing by Child I'm
der Her Care.

Determining that her injuries were
not permanent or as serious as che
alleged, Judge Harry V. Osborne to-
day allowed Miss Hattie Miller, Of SIS
Valley road, West Orange. compensa-
ton under the employers liability
law for ten weeks. at s. a week Miss
Miller petitioned the court for COM
penation for twenty-nine weeks
against her former employer. Alexan-
der Fordyce, jr., of S64 Gregory ave-
nue., West Orange.
The girl was employed in the For
dyce home as a nurse for Mr.. For
dyce's x-year-old son. On March S,
1914, the boy accidentally stabbed the
girl with knife. She was In a hos
pital and under a doctors care for
nearly twelve weeks, according to tes-
timony.
In discounting her story as to her
injuries, Judge Osborne considered the
differences in her testimony. In her
petition, and upon the stand, she de-
clared that she was still suffering
from her injuries and that she was
prevented from working because of It.
Witnesses were called by the re-
spondent. who testified that she
worked for a month in an East Or
ange hotel and was discharged be-
cause there was no further work, and
that she was employed for two
months In private home in Orange
and was discharged there because
she kept late hours These witnesses
said that no fault could be found
with her work
After cross-examination the girl
admitted that her first story that she
had not worked since the accident was
wrong. She also told the court that
she had been at least to one dance,
and had danced a number of tan
goes. waltzes and one-steps.r From
these facts, the court said. It found
that she was only deserving of com
pensation for the time she was in
capacitated, minus the first two
weeks. as provided by the law. There
fore the court fixed the time as ten
weeks at the minimum rate of S. a

1t is expected that the present
hearing will last several days, but
there may be a postponement late

defendant to be represented at fur
ther hearings by his counsel, Robert
H McCarter. Mr.. McCarter was to
have been on hand this forenoon, but
was detained on a law case in South
Jersey The chancellor said he ap-
preciated the necessity of the pres
ence of Mr.. McCarter, but felt that
the inquiry into the charges against
one of the officers of the court should
not be delayed. In the absence of
Mr.. McCarter two other lawyers,
Conover English and George w. Nc

Peaker said that it was not until last
December, year after the settlement
was made with Kase, that he learned
that Mr.. Hahn got $4,000 with which
to effect a settlement. This informa-

now alderman from the Eleventh
ward The negro said that he was
doing some work for Mr.. Gottlieh at

ONE PATROLMAN
KILLS ANOTHER
IN JERSEY CITY
Detectives Find Cash, Hills
Slayer, Through Initials on
Umbrella Handle.
Special to the Evening star.

Special to the Evening star.
JERSEY CITY, Feb. 25.--Bad feel
ing that dated back several months
resulted in the murder of a Jersey
City patrolman by one of his fellow
officers early today. The dead man Is
Patrolman Charles Hill, Of the Sew
enth precinct. His murderer is Vim
cent e. Cash, also Of the Seventh,
who admits the shooting, but says he
did it in self-defense.
Cash was captured four hours after
the shooting in a hotel kept by one
of his friends. A piece of an UNI
brella handle, bearing the initials V.
E. c., led to his arrest. Later the
police arrested Frank McKeever,
twenty one years old. Of 81 Giles ave-
nue., and he is being held as wit
ness. He was with Cash.
The shooting occurred at West Side
avenue and Stuyvesant avenue. Cash
had been held on reserve duty in
case there was any trouble at a lee
ture to have been given by Joseph
Slattery, an anti-Catholic agitator.
At 9:10 o'clock, Lieutenant Richard
Looney, learning that the lecture had
been postponed, let Cash go off.
Cash, according to his own admis-
sion, visited several saloons, and
about 1:30 o'clock met Hill at West
Side avenue and Stuyvesant avenue.
Hill, surprised to see him out so late,
said jokingly:
Have you no homer"
This led to words, with the result
that Cash pulled out his gun and
fired six shots at Hill. Five of them
took effect. Then he and McKeever
ran away.
A woman who lives right there had
heard and seen the shooting. and she
thought Cash, who was in civilian
clothes, was a burglar.
She notified the police and they
took the same view until Acting Cap
tain Cavanaugh found the broken
umbrella handle with the initials.
Then, remembering the feeling be-
tween Hill and Cash, he set out to
look for Cash.
Cash was arraigned before Judge
John Warren, in the First Criminal
Court, today. and was held without
bail for the action of the grand jury.
He said Hill had swore at him and
had struck him first with his fist and
then with his nightstick, and was
pulling out his gun. To protect him
self, he said, he had to shoot.
Hill was single and lived with his
brother at 81 Larch avenue. The
brother claimed the body. Cash Is
single, too, and lived with his mother
and sisters at 265 Forest street. He
had been on the force only year and
half. Hill had been on it for about
nine veara

LIABILITY LAW
DOESN'T APPLY
TO POLICEMEN
No Damages for Family of Muir
dered Newark Bluecoat,
Judge Martin Rules.

Establishing a precedent for this
State and, according TO lawyers. for
the country, Judge Martin, of the
Essex Court of Common Pleas, In an
opinion today ruled that a patrol
man is an officer, not an employe of
the city. and therefore does not come
under the provisions of theemployers'
liability act. as originally passed in
1912. The court did not express an
opinion as to whether a supplement
passed in 1918 intended TO cover
municipal employees. applied to po-
licemen or not
Judge Martin filed his opinion in the
case of Thomas McGovern, father OF
Patrolman John ]. McGovern, who
was murdered while on duty, October
13, 1912, against the mayor and Com
mon Council of the city of Newark.
The facts in the case-the manner in
which he met his death and his en-
ployment-were admitted and the
) only question that was argued was
| based on the status of a policeman.
The petitioner. through Irving w.
i Teeple, contended that patrolman
was an employe of the city and that
the relation of his employer, the city,
and himself was that OF master and
servant.
The city of Newark, through Frank
r. Bradner, former city attorney,
claimed that policeman was not an
employe, as defined In the law, that
he was ian officer because his duties
and POWERS and salary were fixed by
statutes. The question involved had
never been settled In az employer s
liability case in this State. accord
ing to the attorneys, nor in any
other State.
Judge Martin quoted opinions by
Judge Adams. Chief Justice Gum
mere and Justice Adams, In civil ac-
tions, which seemed to settle the
issue.
In July, 1907, In the case of Thomas
Campbell VS.. the City of Newark,
Judge Adams ruled, and the ruling
has not been reversed, that patrol
man is a person concerned in the ad =
ministraticn of public duty that
flows from the sovereign authority,
and as such Is invested with por-
ton of political power, pertaining 70
the administration of civil govern
ment. Such a person is, at common
law, an incumbent OF a public office "
Chief Justice Gummere made rul-
ing prior to that time that the duties
performed and not the mode OF ap-
pointment constituted the test as 10
whether a place was an office, po-
sition or employment. Where the
duties are governmental and derived
from the authority of the State, he
held that the place was an office.
AS McGovern's death occurred prior
to the passage of the amendment TO
cover municipal employees, that sec
ton of the law could not be In
voked.
Tobn I McC.overn was appointed
a policeman in February, 1912, He
was shot while patrolling his post Of
Crane street, near Webster. He died
instantly. Salvatore Loponio, after
three trials, was convicted of second
degree murder and is now serving
thirteen years in State prison.
Teeple was Loponio's counsel
An appeal will probably be taken to
the higher courts by Mr.. Teeple.
