an automobile with two soldiers, but
when it came to testifying about the
circumstances of the ride she was un.
able to give an account of anything
wrong. She was allowed to step down
from the witness stand and the prose.
cutor called William McDougall, the
man in the case.
| Counsel for defence wanted the man
warned that he did not have to answer
any questions that might incriminate
him and anything he said must be
voluntary. Prosecutor Kelsey said he
would attend to that matter and so
told the witness, but before the latter
was allowed to speak Judge Lippincott
put the matter plainly before-him and
the witness said he understood it, so
he was allowed to proceed. He told of
taking ride in an automobile with
the two girls, but he could not tell how
far they went. When asked one ques-
ton he availed himself of the privil-
eye of not being compelled to answer.
Prosecutor Kelsey then offered a
paper purporting to be certified copy
of the record of the marriage of the
woman. Counsel for defence objected
to its admission because it was not in
accordance with the law governing
such papers. He also insisted that it
would be necessary for the state to
show that the woman on trial was the
same woman named in the certificate.
This the prosecutor was not able TO do
and the court excluded the paper.
This was all of the testimony and
counsel for defence asked that the pris-
oner be discharged, as nothing had
been shown to convict her of any
crime. This motion was granted, but
before the woman was allowed to leave
the court room she was called before
the Judge, who gave her some whole
some advice.
Two cases against the Public Service
Railway Company, both arising from
one accident, were tried before Judge
Carrow.
A trolley car struck motor truck
near Merchantville and damaged the
car and injured the driver. The truck
belonged to NJ. Burgo & Son. Suit was
brought for damage to and loss of time
for its use. The jury returned verdict

driver, Joseph Burgo, including hospi-
tai charges, medical attention, loss of |
time, etc, the verdict was $l,25S.
Yesterday, before Judge Lippincott,
criminal matters were heard.
Arthur Horner, aged IL years, of Riv-
erside, was brought up on charge of
stealing bicycle, to which he pleaded |
guilty. Last June he was placed under
probation after pleading guilty to
charge of breaking and entering
school house. The boy is bad actor, 7
and pays no attention to the advice or
discipline of his father. He was sent to
the Jamesburg reform school.
Anthony J. Jessel entered plea OF
not guilty to charge of committing
an indecent assault on girl from
Maple Shade. In default of bail he was
sent to Jail to await trial.
The case of Howard Mathis, assistant
fish and game protector, against John
Bintcliff, resulted in acquittal The
defendant was charged with fishing for
shad with net in the Delaware river
On Sunday, May 5th last The weak
point in the case was that none of the
witnesses in the case had actually seen
Ihe net, hence the acquittal.
Another case of violation of the fish
md game laws was against Daniel
Woolson, of Washington township.
He was charged with going into the
woods with shotgun; attempting to
Jake deer; and carrying gun with a
of more than two shells. All
Ihese acts we're alleged to have been
on September sth, before
The cunning season.
The testimony showed that he was
On public road, both sides of which
we're woods; that he was on q motor
cycle, to which the gun was tied, dis
ointed, and wrapped in muslin cover;
that the defendant wore a cunning
coat, in which were loaded shells.
The cross-examination of witnesses
oy the defense, indicated that Woolson
he was riding on a public
road and was carrying his gun from
one point to another.
He was acquitted on the first two
charges named above. Decision was
reserved on the third charge.
