MANS INJURIES
INDICATE THAT
He WAS KILLED
Unconscious Victim Found in a
Doorway Dies in City
Hospital.

The unidentified man found uncon-
scious in a hallway at Commerce and
Mulberry streets Tuesday afternoon,
who died in the City Hospital this
forenoon without recovering his
senses, probably was murdered.
Deputy County Physician William
d. Minningham, who performed an
autopsy, found death was due to d
left ear. Although the injury might
have been caused by a fall, one of
the mans eyes was blackened by a
blow and he bore other evidences of
~ ling been beaten. The body was
removed to Holes morgue. Detec-
tive kottenburg, of police head
quarters, and Detective Sergeant
Godfrey, of the prosecutors staff, are
investigating.
At first he was thought to be in
toxicated and later it was believed
that he was suffering from kidney
trouble. but a thorough examination
disclosed a small bruise over the left
ear. His clothes were well-worn and
of inexpensive material, which lead
the police to believe that some mo-
tive other than robbery was the cause
OF the beating the man received. He
was about twenty eight years old, OF
medium height, and weighed about
1876 pounds.
In the mans pocket was found an
old envelope addressed to Frank w
Gardener, 10 Herbert place, and in
the upper left corner was written
War Camp No. IS, Belleville ave-
nue." At the Herbert place address
1t was said that there was Gardener
living there, but he was at work and
was q much older man than the hos
pital patient.
At 10 Herbert street today. Alfred
Gibson, who resides there, said he
knew nobody named Gardner and that
no one of that name had ever lived
there to his knowledge. The peopl'
who lived in the house prior to his
occupancy of the premises he said,
were acquaintances of his, but not
named Gardner. The house No. III
is the only one on the street.

G|LLEN MAKES
BITTER ATTACK
ON SA!!ER!R!ERD
Board of Works Commissioner
Charges City Engineer With
Neglect of Duty.

Commissioner Charles p. Gillen en-
liVened the meeting of the Board of
Works this afternoon by pointed
criticism of Chief Engineer Morris
II. Sherrerd and Commissioner Albert
IL. Beruempfel, and the latter re-
piled that Commissioner Gillen must
think Newark is Railway HE
doesn't know he is in a big town.
This remark was made after Com
missioner Gillen had moved that the
chief engineer be instructed to make
personal inspection of all paving
work once a week. Nobody seconded
the motion.
The discussion arose after J. II,
O'Connor had protested against the
condition of Orange street. The pave
ment there has been torn up for "A
month, he said, the sidewalks washed
away, cellars flooded and business
seriously interfered with through
failure to complete the new pave
ment.
Commissioner GilIen said: The
whole trouble lies with the chief en-
gineer of the Board of Works. who
continually neglects his work, sitting
In his office hour after hour when he
should be ont and about looking after
the work with which he Is entrusted.
Il have criticised the street paw
Ing work time after, and will con
tinue to do so until some improve
ment is seen. Instead of looking
after affairs Mr.. Sherrerd is content
to pose and pose. but from what
hear he had better change his ways
or the people will insist that some
other man be chief engineer"
