Another Attempted Murder.

A dastardly attempt to murder Will
liam P. Bryan, with the apparent object
of committing robbery, was made on
Thursday evening. The affair took
place at Mr.. Bryan's home at Pasadena,
where he was.alone at the time, his wife
being in Philadelphia hospital.
Alfred Hainss. aged 70 years, formerly
of Vincentown, has been working for
Mr.. Bryan for about eighteen months
past. That evening Haines entered the
Bryan house and asked for daily news
paper. Mr.. Bryan turned to get the
paper from the sitting room table, and
while his back was turned a revolver
shot was fred in close proximity to his
head. 1t was found that the cartridge
passed so closely across the back Of Mr..
Bryan's head that it left powder marks
on his hair and neck.
When Mr.. Bryan tad partly recovered
from the fright and shock caused by the
shooting. he questioned Haines about
the affair, but that individual disclaim-
ed all knowledge of the happening and
said he had no revolver. He then left
| the house.
Mr.. Bryan telephoned for Detective
Parker the next morning, and that Off
Ger responded at once and made an in
vestigation. He found the powder marks
on Mr.. Bryan's neck and also discovered
where the cartridge had lodged in some
woodwork in the room. This was dal
out and then Haines was interviewed
Haines said he owned a revolver an(
produced it when requested. An empty
shell was found in one of the chambers
of the same caIibre 1881 and appearance
as the bullet obtained in the house. Tn
; condition of the cartridge shell and bar
rel OF the revolver showed that it had
been fired within few hours.
When questioned about the explode'
cartridge Haines said he had shown tn
revolver to neighbor the week befor
and that the latter had 6red the car
ridge. The neighbor was located at ono
by the detective, and denied that b
had shot the revolver or that any on
else had in his presence. Haines was the
: arrested and placed in the jail at Mour
Holly.
1t is supposed that robbery was tt
; motive for the attempted murder, as
. was known that Mr.. Bryan had bee
l. paid about 5000 that day, and had it
= his possession.
y At hearing before Justice OF Il
L Peace John Throckmorton, Haines W,
. committed to Jail to await the action
the grand jury, which meets to-day.

Thrift Campaign A Success

Considerable interest was manifested
in the Thrift Campaign conducted
the last week by the Burlington county
Y. M. G. A. committee. Tuesday after
noon and Wednesday morning the ex-
hibit was in the Moorestown high scnool
building, Wednesday afternoon and
Thursday morning in the Mount Holly
High school, Thursday afternoon and
evening in the Florence Library Hall,
Friday in Medford, Saturday morning
in Mount Holly and Saturday evening
in the Burlington City Loan and Trust
Company.
The exhibit of sixteen colored pictures
and cartoons was very originally worked
out and aimed to show the great adyan-
tage of the saving habit.
The exhibit was preparedsunder the
direction of the industrial department of
the International Y. M. c. A. Supple
menting the exhibit folders encouraging
the saving habit were distributed by
different organizations cooperating in
the thrift campaign.
Burlington county is one of the first
counties in the country to use this new
way of encouraging thrift. Next year
the county committee is planning to
conduct wider and more extensive
compaign.

Random Remarks.

The law gives every man accused OF
crime the right to be represented by
counsel in order that he may be assured
of fair trial and have all the safeguards
that may be thrown out. Tha.
this course might be pursued Judge Lip.
pincott postponed the case against the
Hainesport highwaymen so that they
might procure a lawyer. AT first it was
supposed that the trial would not take
place for a week but the men engaged
Robert Peacock and the trial came off at
the afternoon session of Thursday s
court. Mr.. Peacock made the best of a
bad case and succeeded in having two
counts of the charges abandoned and
possibly getting the term of imprison-
ment reduced. In his address to the
court Mr.. Peacock said not wish to say
anything in mitigation of the offence of
the defendants. They deserved punish
ment and he left the matter to the court.
The Judge soon settled that part OF it
and within one week of the time the
crime was committed the young men
were behind the bars of the state prison.
Too much praise cannot be given to
all who aided in capturing the men who
attempted to hold up Automobiles at
Hainesport. In open court Robert Pea
cock complimented all the officers who
took part in the capture and gave especial
praise to Detective Parker. Ellis is
fearless fellow but he certainly had cold
chills when he found revolver pressed
against his face with only a second or
two in which to consider how to act.
While this was going on he had hold of
two men and the passengers in the troll
ley car. seeing the guns, evidently
thought the outside air was better for
they flew from the car when they might
have aided the officer. Constable
Haines, of Mount Holly, also showed
his nerve, for he grappled with one of
the fellows and had the same experience
that Parker had and for moment he
thought his time had come to leave
earth. The work done by all the officers
was prompt and effective and they are
entitled to great credit.
Every serious affair seems to have q
funny side and one Of the incidents con-
nected with the arrest of the highway
men was laughable. Detective Parker
had his revolver with him and when he
tried to shoot he found the pistol would
not explode. He was somewhat bother
ed and when he got home he investigat-
ed. 1t seems he is in the habit of keep
ing loaded revolver where he can get it
quickly. His wife, fearing someone
would get hold of the weapon, drew the
cartridges and put the pistol back in its
place. In his hurry to get out to seek
the highwaymen Ellis grabbed the pis-
tol without examining it and when he
tried to use it found it was not in work.
ing order. Possibly it was just as well
as he might have hurt somebody.
