New York has received with open
arms the prevailing fashion for silk
hats, preferably in modified or ex-
IRENE sailor shape, with no ornamen.
tation save silk rat tar or flat braid
applied in intricate designs.
Such hats are so simple and com
paratiyely inexpensive that a ward

4 Fine Senior Play

The Senior Glass of Penns Grove
High School gave the annual play IN
the Broad Theatre last Friday night
to a large and a~ppreciative audience.
The title of the play vas "Ihe Cam
outage of Shirley" a military caste
In order to wear a service pm a
fance was necessary. At a dinner
party given by the newly-wed, An
nette Wayne, Shirley announces her
engagement to Capt. Clay Calhoun,
whose name she had found among a
list of those sailing for France. An
nette's husband breaks in upon the
party and introduces his college chum.
Clay Calhoun. Naturally complica-
tions arise. Calhoun being a woman
hater' only makes things worse, but
upon entreaties by Shirley he agrees
to keep things secret and a quarrel
will be the cause of a broken engage
ment when he is safe in France.
Shirley in the meantime plays he1
little game of hearts and finally con
vinces the captain that war is not a
very nice lady lover. So the freak
engagement soon becomes a reality.

Buffers Murderer COnfeSSeS
Refused a Drink He Puts Two
Bullets In The Man

When James Butler was shot and
killed in Penns Grove on February I'd,
his slayer managed to escape, but the
entire police force was on the alert
and on Thursday of last week they
captured their man in the person Of
Samuel James Austin, who has since
confessed to doing the shooting
Following is an interview with Chief
of Police Fisher which covers the facts
pretty thoroughly and can be relied
upon as authentic. 1t also gives
credit to all who were in any way con
nected with the capture:
Butler was shot and killed on Janu-
ary 10Th. On the 9th a mar named
Calvin was arrested and accused Of
the murder. The evidence against
him was that he borrowed a gun and
made threats that he would get" But
Ter because he found "his woman's2
trunk in Buffers house. A man by
the name of Rivers came to me and
declared that Calvin was innocent and
that he could point out n of the men
that was with the gang and where
could find him. Constable Thomas
Washington and myself went to the
mans house and were told that we
could see him the next day at noon.
This mar came to see me and ole me
the name of every mar in the gang.
Rivers then sent word to me that
James Samuel Austin, better known
as SAM was hiding in the rooms
above Maskell Ewing's blacksmith
shop. The messenger could not find
me so he gave the information to
Officer Sparks, and he with Officer
Money met me at the corner of Broad
and Main Streets. Together we went
to the rooms over the blacksmith shop.
We could not find him. A Mrs.
Thomas came in while we were there
and said we would find Sam in the
attic, which proved to be correct. he
was arrested and taken to the lookup.
The next day Constable Waddington
and myself went to Plant No. 2 pool
room and gathered in another mar we
wanted. The proprietor of the place,
a white man, claimed the fellow wasn't
there, but upon searching the house
we found him in a back room, and
took him to the lookup. On the way
down Waddington and his son picked
up another suspect. There were hye
men in the gang, one Of whom we have
not been able to locate.
These men were all taken to Under
taker Gross's morgue and were cues
toned in the presence of the dead
mans body. All denied the shooting
or that they knew anything about it.
Finally one of the men who goes by
the name of ''The Frog" weakened and
pointing to Sam Austin said, "There's
the man who shot Butler" The others
then made the same assertion, but
Sam still hung out with a fiat denial.
Constable Washington started for Sa-
lem with Sam and two of the others,
holding one here to get more evidence
if possible. On the way down Sam
gave up and confessed that he shot
Butler, because Butler had refused to
give him a drink of whiskey. In the
Salem Jail he signed a written con-
fession in the presence of witnesses.
This gang, after Butler had been
shot, went to a mans house near by
and robbed him of five dollars at the
point of the gun that had been used
to kill Butler.
