DEPUTIES TRIAL
TO Open MONDAY
Sensational Murder Case viii
Attract Attention All Over
Great Array of Counsel.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


New Brunswick, May 22:-With-
out doubt, the greatest trial ever
held in Middlesex county will begin
at 10 O'Clock Monday morning in
the remodeled court house in this
city, when the ten deputy sheriffs"
are placed on trial for numbering
Alesandro Tessitore January 10, in
connection with the labor strikes in
the borough of Roosevelt There
.are several reasons why this muir
der trial will excel in interest and
every other particular any other
trial-either civil or criminal-ever
held in the historic Middlesex coun-
ty court house. 1t would be hard to
select the chief factor in the cause
of melting interest in the coming
trial, but it Is safe to say that the
enormity of the ask placed before
the state author les, in endeayoring
to convict ten deputy sheriffs of the
murder of one man, is the founda-
tion for the natural curiosity aroused
over the event. Another matter
which is receiving untold considera-
tion is the discussion of the legal
talent which will be arrayed for the
state and defense on Monday. A
third thought to occur is the fact
that this case will be heard by a
jury from Mercer county, which will
make a precedent for a criminal
trial in Middlesex county.
1t was learned today that Jerry
O'Brien had been subpoenaed by the
state to testify, and that Harry Pat
erson, who was captain of the dep
uties" on duty at Roosevelt during
the strike, had also been served with
subpoena 1t also became known
that Sheriff Edward F. Houghton
will be called on by the state to tes-
tify. He has already been served by
constable from the prosecutors s
office.
The ten men to face trial are as
follows: James Bavier, Fred Null
len, John C. Moran, Robert j. Wal
lace, John O'Mara, Frank Rick, Har-
ry Tone, William Mclaughlin,
James D. Williams and John Smith.
The men will leave fifteen fellow
deputy sheriffs in the county jail
when they leave that building on
Monday to sit before the jury which
is to adjudge their very lives. The
ten men are to be ably defended by
former Assistant Prosecutor Joseph
E. Stricken, of Perth Amboy, who
has associated with him former At
torney General Robert H. McCarter,
of Newark, and John Delaney, of
South Amboy Detective Charles A.
Oliver and Justice of the Peace
Charles w. Sedan, of this city, are
two men who have been working up
the case for the defense and have in
terviewed a number of witnesses in
behalf of the defendants.
On the states side of the legal
chamber will be found wealth of

Berne, May 22.-It is reported on

is proceeding in Berlin as to how the
American note regarding the Lusitania

men are gone, all windows are closed, all
doors barred. Frequently there are dead
or wounded victims lying about but their
mouths are closed. The policemen and

East Side gangmen.
Came there, though. one man whom all
the power and influence of Wong Doc
King and his terrible tongmen could not
intimidate or mystify. He was DR.. John
E. Gardner, known as the worlds highest
authority on the Chinese tongue. More to
the point, however, he is Chinese inspec-
tor for the department of immigration He
got on Wong DOCS trail, pursued him re-
lentlessly despite rewards offered for his
death and finally brought about his de-
portation. The high courage and perse-
verence Of DR.. Gardner surpassed the re-
sources even Of the king of the high
binders. At one time Wong boo openly
posted proclamations offering a reward of
$500 to anyone who would "clandestinely
kill' any Of the enemies hunting him
down. The proclamation was aimed at
DR.. Gardner, but none took advantage of
the chance to make $500.
The downfall of the human tiger"
came about through the trifiing matter of
a cargo Of contraband opium. Dr. Gard
ner learned that the tong master had re-
ceived a shipment, raided his headquarters
and found a number of letters which
proved conclusively that Wong Doc had
been dealing in the forbidden fruit Of the
poppy.
Now that was a small matter In itself.
A shipment Of opium more or less was
nothing in the record Of Wong Doc Twen-
ty murders had just a little before been
committed IN a war between rival tongs
ordered by Wong Doc. Merchantmen and
gambling house keepers by the scores
had been mulcted of sums ranging from
$500 to $1,000. Slave girls by the dozen
had been forced to give up their pitiful
earnings to this master in crime Other
merchants had been scientifically muir
dered and other slave girls had been

bidding Of the tong master.

however, was a lever, and this lever Dr.
