Residents in different sections of the
town have been annoyed this summer
by having their gardens trampled over,
bushes broken and flowers and vege-
tables destroyed and stolen. One per-
son living on Bispham street has suf-
fered very much in this particular.
While the damage has been done
by children, there has been
evidence that adults have been at
work. Last week, on three different
occasions, the garden in the rear of DR..
residence on Garden
street has been entered. Beets have
been pulled up and the tops cut off
and thrown into a corner. Potato
plants that have not begun to bear
have been torn up and thrown on one
side and other damage has been done.
The people who have suffered are about
tired of this business and will keep
close watch on their property. Those
who continue the thefts will do it at
their peril.

seven other people connected with this
trial, among them Mrs. Mae Abrams
and her daughter Kitty, who has been
in the limelight in Atlantic City more

in the divorce suit. A DR..
is charged with being the
'go-between" between Mrs. Abrams
and her daughter in an alleged trap to
catch Knitted, who was found with
Kitty in her apartments in Allan
tic City. When the case was opened
the prosecuting attorney sprung sur
prise by announcing that the state did
not have sufficient evidence to convict
Mrs. KNITTED and abandoned the case
20 far as she was concerned. He also
stated that he wished to eliminate Mrs.
and daughter. The object of
this move was to secure the evidence of
Mrs. Knittel's husband, who, under
the other circumstances could not have
as husband and wife are not
allowed to testify against each other.
Mrs. Abrams and her daughter are also
to be used as witnesses for
the state, Mrs. Abrams being on the
stand yesterday.
