NJ CRAM MAKES
No PLEA TODAY
IN MURDER CASE
Taken to New Brunswick This
Morning--Self Defense Is
Likely to Be His Plea

Although when questioned yester-
day concerning the mE~der of Ed
ward zap" DaltoL. Jonn McGrann
admitted he shot his stepson, he re-
fused to plead either guilty or not
guilty when arraigned this morning
before Recorder p.ckersgill. who de-
clared that McGrann was charged
with willfully and with malice afore-
thought killing Dalton by shooting
him to death with a revolver.
McGrann asserted that he would
say nothing until he had secured the
advice ~counsel. He was then COM
mitted to the county Jail without bail
to await action by the grand jury and
was taken to New Brunswick this
morning. 1t is understood that the
prisoner has retained Senator
Thomas A. Brown as his attorney.
1t was ascertained this morning
that the gun used was not purchased
yesterday but is, according to Nc
Grann's story, an old one which he
had in his possession for long while.
The revolver, which will be produced
as evidence in his trial, has five cart
ridges in the chamber, two of which
have been discharged, thus corrobor-
ating the account of the crime as told
by Mrs. McGrann.
When McGrann was brought to
police headquarters yesterday after
his arrest by Detective Sergeants
Huff and Long. in giving his name on
the police blotter, said he was not
married. This is incorrect, as he af-
terwards declared, he being welded
to Mrs. McGrann, the mother of the
murdered man.
An autopsy was performed on the
body of Dalton last night by Walter
C. Suydam, county physician, at the
! City Hospital. 1t was discovered that
the left lung had been punctured in
the center by a gun shot, thus causing
death almost instantly
The body was removed last night
after the autopsy to the Dalton home,
| 146 Broad street.
Funeral arrangements are now being
| completed.
Funeral services will be held to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock from
st. Mary's church where solemn re-
ouiem mass will be said Interment
will be in st. Mary's cemetery.
