Tobin Was Guilty.

All the doubt relative to the guilt or
innocence of Francis Tracy Tobin, the
Philadelphia lawyer who has been con-
fined in the Mount Holly Jail for about
five months, was settled, on Thursday,
when he appeared before Judge Lip
pincott and pleaded non vult conten-
dere to an indictment charging him
with criminal conspiracy in causing
the arrest of Arthur Phillips on a
charge of murder.
Shortly before the trial of Edgar c.
Murphy for the murder of Herman
Fisher, at Taylor's Lane, on July Is,
1915, Tobin, who was young Murphy's
counsel, and.C. Frank Murphy, the
prisoners father, in order to divert at.
tention from the defendant and in an
attempt to throw suspicion in another
direction, caused the arrest of Arthur
Phillips as the perperator of the crime.
At hearing before a justice of the
peace, no evidence whatever was pro-
duced against Phillips and he was dis
charged. This arrest was made after
young Murphy had confessed his guilt
to Sheriff Jordan, which had been
made public at the coroner's inquest.
AS result of the false arrest the
grand jury indicted Tobin and the
senior Murphy for criminal conspiracy.
Tobin fled from the Jurisdiction of the
court and resisted every effort to have
him brought to trial. Finally he was
forcibly brought to New Jersey by DIR,
John ]. Flynn, on another charge
Jumping bail on civil suit for dam.
ages, brought also by Phillips. DR.
Flynn had become Tobin's bondsman
| After being brought here, Tobin was
committed to Jail on the criminal
charge and for five months has mo-
been prepared to 60 on trial.
During his incarceration he got into
the limelight in Philadelphia news
paper by relating tales of his illega
confinement, of horrible conditions a
the jail, etc. These stories did no
; produce any effect, however, as tn,
public did not believe them.
After entering his plea of non vul
C contendere, on Thursday, two Phila
delphia lawyers-ex-congressman J
= Washington Logue and S. Waite
Foulkrod-made pleas for clemenc
> and asked for suspension of sentenc
on the ground that Tobin had bee
n sufficiently punished by his fiy
3 months confinement in jail.
Judge Lippincott senten led Tobin I
d four months more in the county jai
= The Judge stated that the defendar
q apparently was not conscientious whe
he made the charge against Phillip
Of and the crime called for further pul
N ishment.
- c. Frank Murphy, who had previou
Fl ly pleaded non vult contendere, W
disposed of with suspension of Sc
tence. He will have to pay the cos
81 of his prosecution and report to t
probation officer for three years. Jud
Lippincott said that he believed evel
# thing done by Murphy was unC
Tobin's direction and he should
suffer imprisonment.

Fatal Accident

= Fatal Accident
An accident occurred on Thursday
J. night which finally resulted in thu
4 death of one of the policemen OF Noun
e Holly. William Grover Yves running
: his automobile towards Mount Holly
and when at Hartford he passed 8
truck motor, but he turned into tbs
| road again too soon and struck the
: other machine, causing wreck
/ Word was sent to Mount Holly for an
officer to go to the spot and investigate
as the first report was that somebody
had been killed, but this report, for
tunately, was not correct. Constable
Edgar Armstrong responded to the call
and as policeman Robert Myers was
not on duty he went with the constable.
| In looking into the matter the
Officers went into house near the troll
iley track to get information and on
looming ont Myers stepped directly in
front of trolley car. There was
dense fog and the officer evidently did
not see his danger, while the motor
man was unable to distinguish any OBJ
| jects on the track. The result was
that Myers was knocked down and his
skull fractured. He was picked up
unconscious and was hurried to the
Burlington County Hospital, where he
remained in the same condition until
he died on Saturday evening.
Constable Myers was Al years of age
and is survived by widow and five
children. The funeral will take place
tomorrow afternoon from his late resi-
dence on Wall street.
While Grover was not responsible for
the death of Myers there is a question
whether his driving was of such care
full nature as to prevent the collision
that called the officers to the spot.
This young man had his license re-
yoked some time ago for reckless driv-
ing on Ridgway street and the way in
which he tore up and down High street
during the days of the fair caused
much comment, yet there was not any
official interference to the way in
which he drove. Edwin c.. Davis,
superintendent of the trolley company.
said he might have aided in the pre-
vention of this accident if he had
caused the arrest of Grover earlier in |
the evening for reckless driving. Why |
Grover had his license restored to him |
we do not know but if half the reports |
that are circulated about him are true
he is not entitled to run an auto.
Some Of these days there will be at
tention given to the speed which is
maintained on the streets of this town. |
Fair days are not the only times when |
autos chase up and down at a rate
exceeding the speed limit, frequently
with cutouts wide open, in direct viola |
ton of the law, but it may take a |
serious accident to bring these actions
to stop.

There was hold-uF at the corner of
Pine and Wall streets Thursday night
when Joseph Dolan was robbed of s.
and gold watch, being all the money
that he had with him. Three strangers
asked him to 60 with them to Wall
street, where they told him they were
interested in building concern. Dolan
went with them and when they got to
the corner in dark spot they robbed
him. Dolan was unable to identify
his unknown friends, leaving the of
ficers with no clue TO work on.
The outbuildings and their contents
on the farm near Smithville owned by
Captain Elton A. Smith and occupies
by Charles Magee, were destroyed b,
fire of unknown origin on Wednes

hay, thirty tons Of straw and wheat
and quantity of machinery were con
sumed. America chemical truck nc
sponded to call for help sent to Noun
Holly, but the tiremen were unable I
save the doomed buildings. A shol
time before the fire broke out tram
was seen coming from the barn.
George r. A. Brown, of Wright
town, and a party of friends, had
narrow escape from death or serious il
jury while coming to Mount Holly
an automobile about five o'clock Thu
day morning. Running on the Sou
Pemberton road just before dayligt
Brown failed to notice the turn in Il
road at Smalley's corner, and steer
his automobile straight ahead into
field where it fell into an old cellar
the house destroyed by fire at the c,
ner few years ago. The machi
turned over when it went into the hi
but the occupants escaped injury
some miraculous way.

The first of this years commence

high school Friday night when the
Seniors of 1916 produced the annual
senior play entitled "The B.ossoming
of Mary Ann" The play was a bright,
enappy little comedy in four acts with
not dull moment from curtain to cur
tain The audience was very appreci-
atiye as shown by the frequency and
volume of their applause. The part of
Mary Ann. the sweet, simple and un-
affected little country girl was taken
by Elizabeth Myers AS her gradual
transformation into the queenly yet
unspOiled woman of society took place
Elizabeth displayed much talent Her
Interpretation was natural and grace
full and will be some time before the
friends of A. H. S. will forget the low
