ate, probe may be started by the

lice to determine the party or parties
responsible for placing the poison in
such convenient reach of children,
which the county physician declares,
was criminal negligence. Chief OF
Police Burke is awaiting the outcome
of the autopsy before taking action
to place responsibility for the alleged
criminal negligence.

ORDINARY MURDER
CASE, SAYS WESCOTT
Attorney General Gives Cue to
Arguments Which State viii
Use at Deputies Trial.
CUE TO TRIAL ARGUMENTS
Declares Indicted Men Had Un-
lawfully Shot the Strikers
Who Were Running Away.
CUE TO TRIAL ARGUMENTS

AT the supreme court hearing in
Jersey City Saturday Attorney Cen
erai Wescott is believed to have given
the cue to the arguments which the
state will use in the trial of the n
d1cted deputies" now in the county
jail, to have them convicted of muir
der.
While on the floor the attorney
general took occasion to remark that
the deputies" had been sworn in
unlaWfully and shot the strikers
while the latter were running away.
He declared that the indicted men
were illegally acting as deputy sher-
ms. 1t is practically certain that the
state will base its main argument on
this polnt-that the men were not
clothed with any authority and there
rore should be considered as ordinary
murderers.
The tntimation that the strikers
were shot while running away was
hotly disputed by Joseph E. Strick-
er and former Attorney General Nc
Carter, who declared there was a riot
leading to the fatal shooting, and to
substantiate this Mr.. Stricken stated
strikers, who are charged with hav-
ing carried concealed weapons, in
cited to riot, ETC., on the occasion of
the fatal shooting. The defense will
maintain at the trial that the "dtpu-
ties, as far as they knew, were real
deputy sheriffs, because they had
been sworn in by the sheriff.
Following the agreement reached
at the hearing Saturday to abandon
the presentation of arguments on the
motion to vacate the order of Justice
Bergen for foreign jury, in view of
the new certiorari proceedings
agreed upon, Joseph E. Stricken will
today make out a formal order this
morning to be sent to Trenton, where
1t will be signed by the three justices
of the supreme court presiding At the
hearing Saturday. The signing of
the order will cause the vacating of
Justice Bergen's order already en-
tered for a foreign jury. This pro-
ceeding is necessary to give way TO
the new eertiorari proceedings. The
new writ of eertiorari will be Sc
cued by the attorney general to re-
ifft5Ss1e ii re frlss 4 Indictments against the
deputies to the supreme court, so
that the supreme court may have
jurisdiction in passing on an appli-
cation which the attorney general
promised to make Immediately for
the introduction of foreign jury to
try the deputies. The attorney
general, at the request of the de-
fense, agreed to proceed with all pos
sible haste, and the hearing on the
new application for foreign jury
was set for next Saturday morning.

United Press Man Witnesses
Demonstration in Northern
France of Flying Corps.
BRITISH AlRMEN HEROES
Battle Lasts Four and a Half
Hours Until German Ma
chine is Brought Down.
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPARD,

copyrighted by United Press, 1915.
Copyrighted in Great Britain.)
Headquarters of British Army,
Northern France, Sunday, April IS,
via London, April 19-It was my
privilege today to witness a wonder
full demonstration of the superiority
of the British Royal Flying Corps.
AS result of the demonstration it
was easy to understand why General
French sings the praises of his air
man in nearly every report he writes.
AT 4:30 this afternoon a German
aeroplane was reported flying over
Ypres. When it was sighted it all
ready had passed well within the
British lines. From a distant station
almost Immediately after the field
telephone had given the alarm two
British aeroplanes could be seen ris-
ing and mounting into the sky in
great wide circles.
The German aviator diseerned his
enemy almost at the moment they
came into view of their own lines
He headed back over the German
trenches, making for the protection
of his own guns. AS he led the way
white balls of smoke each bigger
than the pursuing British aeroplane
broke into view. In the center of
each was ball of white. They were
German shrapnel. The smoke did
hot disappear, but hung In almost
| regular order in places. 1t appear
ed from the ground that the Ger
mans were putting new feecy clouds
in the sky.
The British airmen were trying
hard to get above the German So
that they could shoot him down. AS
they dashed through the lazy hover
ing smoke clouds 1t was as though
their propellers were tearing apart a
gigantic feather bed. The aviators
ignored the German shrapnel. Final
| ly the machines showed in relief
above the German, who had scared
back across the British front to lure
the British within the range of the
| shrapnel of his forward trenches. 1t
was possible to count thirty-two Ger
Imam smoke balls,t each denoting
shrapnel, as the British swung closer
and c.eseE tet t eli hs Germ n: q I
finally tried to circle back toward his
own line, but always an English aero
plane was interposed and he was
forced down toward the earth. Final
ly the German swung about to make
one final dash for home. But he
was now so low that he was within
range of the thousands of British SOL
diers in the trenches. The German
machine, now sandwiched between
the fire from the British aeroplanes
and the British trenches, now turned
back and flew we'll into British terri
tory, which was accepted as a sign of
surrender.
The English aeroplanes followed
until they saw the German land on
the rough ground in the rear of
| British trenches. The German ma
chine was smashed and the pilot
crushed to death under the aero
plane, but the observer officer was
only slightly bruised and was taken
prisoner The battle in the sky had
lasted four and one-half hours.
All business in Ypres ceased while
! the battle was on as it was in full
view of the positions and the deep
blue of the sky was marred only by
the smoke from the shrapnel and the
flash of wings from aeroplanes in the
atmosphere.
