Both were rushed back to the jail

A Chemical Euening
By Wizard WeIlman

Many members and friends of the
Mems Club of Trinity Church were
present at Tuesday, evenings meet
ing in the Guild Hall, at which the
principal feature of interest was the
demonstration of and dissertation on
chemistry by Noel Wellman, of the
General Chemical Company's staff.
The lecturer was supported by
Messrs Carson, Won Osthoff and
Dana in musical and reading num-
bers.
To many of the large gathering
present the performances of Mr..
Wellman were those of a wizard,
especially in his burning of a watch
spring by placing the end of it in an
apparently empty jar, after, of
course, heating it well at flame; his
burning of a train of powder by
dropping a watery fluid on one end
of it; and his changing of water at
will into inky blackness, and then as
suddenly changing it back to crystal
~clearness.
The speaker spoke most entertain
ingly on the intimacy of chemistry
in our lives, the remoteness of its
beginnings, historically. In connec-
ton with it's commercial aspect, Mr..
Wellman, spoke of the efforts to pro-
cure nitrogen in sufficiently large
quantities from the air for the max
ing of nitro glycerine and gun-cotton,
especially in view of the RAPIDLY ap-
preaching exhaustion of the worlds
nitrate beds. At the conclusion of
the lecture simple refreshments were
served to the guests.

Henry Martelli, a BARRIERS helper,

manded back to the county Jail, his

Martelli, it is charged, stabbed to
death Andrew Haley, of ia Walling-
ton avenue, Wellington, on the porch
of his home on December 80, last
Haley and Martelli and another man
had spent the night in Peter Hiezwa's
saloon. When they departed, Haley
and Martelli were in quarrelsome
mood. 1t is believed that a fight be-
tween the two men occurred In front
of the Haley home, in which Haley
was stabbed twice, once in the heart
and once in the abdomen.
Percy Dale, age IS years, a bak-
er's apprentice, who on October %
mortally shot John Esser, age As
years, of Dumont, the latter dying
in the Hackensack Hospital on Octo-
Der "a, was also arraigned on a
charge of murder. He pleaded not
guilty and was remanded back to the
county jail for trial on May is.
Dale has made a partial confession,
declaring that the continual abuse
heaped upon him by Esser led to the
crime.
A. H. G. Maidment is counsel for
Percy Dale, and Lawyer William j.
