NEW BRUNSWICK, June 49,
The case I'm which former Detective
William t. Hartmann, of Perth Am
boy, is charged with highway rob-
berry. will go to the jury this after
noon. Both the counsel for the de-
fense and the prosecutor for the
state took up an unusual long time in
presenting their case to the jury.
The jury had not been charged by
Judge Peter +. Daily when recess was
taken ct noon today until o'clock.
Senator Thomas Brown, represent
ing Hartmann, made a strong plea
for the acquittal of the accused de-
tective, declaring that his particlpa-
tion in the case was the result of
Hartmann's effort to intercept Illegal
whiskey deals which were becoming
frequent in Perth Amboy. The sem
ator attacked Joseph Brombert's S
change of testimony. he declaring
that ''Brombert is so yellow he Is
crying for company in his misery"
While presenting his case Senator
Brown made an assertion tnat In his
opinion. neither Patrolman William
Bachman nor Patrolman Charles
Jorgenson told all they knew abour
the affair. The defendants counsel
went over practically all of the testi-
mony picking out what he endeavored
to show were flaws in the evidence.
Summing up of the Hartmann case
was scheduled to start at IL o'clock
but did not get under way until 1880
due to the length of the sessions in
the orphans court and court of pleas.
The attorney for the defendant and
the prosecutor were both In court
early ready to start the summing up.
Stephen Vereb the fourth defen-
dant. who was givn to the court by
his bondsman Abraham Onikelsky,
few days ago secured another bonds
man Alfred Balabus. and the defen-
dant was again released pending his
trial
Immediately after recess yesterday
afternoon Judge Daily ruled that the
statements made by Andrew Gadek
and Joseph Brombert, the two con-
victed members of the holdup gang
would not be connected in the evil
dence against Hartmann and would
not go to the jury. The judge also
ruled that the testimony regarding
the gun or the badge would not be
counted in the evidence against the
detective.
1t Is generally expected that when
a statement is made by person ac-
cuslng another person of being impli-
Gated in a crime such as this, where
the statement was read to the party
implicated (Hartmann) and he re-
fused to make any statement, the re-
fusal to denv or affirm the statement
would mean the counting of it against
the implicated party but the ruling
of the court of appeals is that it shall
not be ruled against the person mas
much as 1t is best not to say one thing
or another until in court.
After Days ruling William T.
Hartmann, the accused detective took
the stand. He gave a brief outline
of his surroundings. gave his age IS

children. He told of being a membe"
of the Perth Amboy police department

tive for six or seven years. The de-
fendant told OF the different reports

Under the new management which
has been active for the past four and
a half years the Perth Amboy Trust
Co. has increased its business 400 per
cent. With a capital of almost $5,-
900, 900 the management has increas-
ed it's number of shares from 1000 to
1000 to be sold to the present stock
holders at $125 a share. 500 of which
goes to the capital stock and $25 to
surplus. When the present building
was being remodeled 1t was thought
sufficiently large to handle all the busi-
ness which might develop. At that
time the capital stock was $1.45O. 600.
Today the stock amounts to $5,00O0OO
and the bank sees the necessity of ex-
pansion.
The special departments have in
creased proportionately from 100000
to $1.700,000. To make room for the
increase the new foreign exchange
department will be open on July /.
This is made part of the main build
ing and will take care of sthe loan
and saving departments as well.
