amendment. West Philadelphias six
wards are represented by 90 members Of

ment Associations of West Philadelphia

Although undoubtedly efficient in the
handling of men, Deputy Marshal Matthew

looked almost helplessly at the sight Of
defiant motherhood, removed their hats
and adopted a policy of watchful waiting.
Nearly three hours later the woman's
husband returned from work. and In a
few words convinced her that IL was best
for her to submit. She was taken aboard

she was released when her husband went

ON
lNlAE SECOND TIME
ON WOMAN'S CHARGE
Joseph Weeks, of Pleasantville,
N. j., Again Arraigned in
Atlantic County-First
Jury Disagreed
ACCUSED OF ASSAULT

MAYS LANDING. n. j., April THE
one woman i'm a courtroom crowded with
curious men auditors, Mrs lmogene Boss
of Baltimore appeared the second time
this morning to testify against Joseph
Weeks a magistrate of Pleasantville,
whom she accused of Turing her to coun-
try road last summer in his automobile
and assaulting her. Weeks was tried two
weeks ago. but the jury disagreed. and
Mrs Boss remained here at the request
the prosecutor to appear against him
second time.
A great deal of trouble was experienced
getting a jury, the panel being exhausted
before IL men could be found to try the
case Weeks is defended by ex-Judge
Clarence L. Cole.
In his opening speech Prosecutor
Charles s. Moore told the jury that he
would produce evidence that Weeks who
had held Mrs Boss under bonds on
charge of living Illegally with Frank Cum
ningham, took her out for the ostensible
purpose of getting friends to go the lat
ter's bail. and when he reached lonely
spot on the road he stopped the machine
and, despite her strong resistance, in which
she was bruised and her clothing torn, he
committed the assault.
Mrs Boss took the stand shortly before
noon. She said Weeks asked her to dis
guise herself before meeting him that
night "IIe was n Judge and I thought
to do" she said. when we got TO a
lonely place on the road he began to make
love to me- and though I screamed at the
top of my voice there was no one near to
help, and he assaulted me. My hair was
corn down, my clothing torn and he
bruised my arms before he succeeded.
Then he took me back to Pleasantville
and let me out. / went to the railroad sta
tlon and phoned to my doctor and took
the next train to Atlantic City to see him.

called to the stand to corroborate Mrs.
Boss.

Acal noticed that her skirt was torn,
5her collar on one side and her hair dis
]arranged | gave her sedative and
something for personal treatment"
Mrs. Boss was subjected to n severe
cross-examination and her testimony was
compared with that she gave at the former
trial Several slight differences, she ex
planned, on the ground that "she could not
tell everything twice exactly the same
way" and her composure was unaffected
by the grueling questions hurled at her.
She admitted having frequented disorderly
places.
Magistrate Weeks took the stand this
afternoon and entered complete denial
of the charge, admitting, however, that
he had been out with Mrs. Boss.
81 went out with her" he explained.
Ito give her legal advice" Mrs. Boss
said earlier in the trial that he was so
strong she could do nothing to get away
from him. HE held my hands above my
head and 1t was impossible for me to
ward off his attack" she said. This, |
Weeks said was absolutely false, declar-
ing he never even laid hands upon the |
young woman.
