Vigorous Prosecution

States Attorney. Mason NJ. Forbes
(white), made a vigorous prosecution
deserving the highest commentator
OF all lovers OF law and order. He
took the position that the reputation
OF the State for law and order a
well as her faith in the jury system
in administering justice IS on trial IN
the rioting cases now before this
court. and said to the jurors, These
men who are charged with riotlng
these men who did not believe il
las and order. who took the position
,hs; a jury trial wasn't safe way
TO administer substantial justice IN so
far as a Negro suspect was concerned.
who refused to let twelve men such
a. you determine their guilt or inno-
cense, now come into court and ask
you gentlemen OF the jury the same
protection under the Constitution and
laws our land that they denied
these black men,
The faithful prosecution OF this
case by the States Attorney has
thrown fear into the hearts OF a mum
ber OF the participants OF the riot
and has demonstrated the fact that
the prosecution is on the square.
Immediately after the final disposition
affecting the rioters the cases OF the
seven colored men now in jail, alleged
to have participated in the affair OF
June fifteenth. will be brought to trial
and they will be defended by former

1t is charged by people living in
the immediate neighborhood that this
is not the first time that Schwartz has
mistreated colored women. 1t is said
that his conduct has become so repre-
hensible that the colored people will
not trade with him as freely in the
future as they have in the past. The
timely arrival of the police saved his
store from being wrecked.

day arrested here after being charged

Johnson now realized that fight
was his only hope, and sped north and

bile and ran the fugitive down near
the corner OF 45th and Wallace Sts.,
where he was beaten almost into in

Johnson dead or dying. The beaten
man then struggled to his feet and

Officers Arrive On Scene

policemen arrived on the stene, and
covering the victim with their guns,
informed him that he had been
charged with insulting a white wom-
an, when as matter OF fact. no one
appeared to charge him with the Of

later released by the officer in charge,

Upon investigation by the Whip it

DIR. MOVES TO

And Name "Other Women"
as cause for annulment suit

1t is alleged in social circles that
Dr.. Joseph A. Plummer has filed pro-
.&eedrrls in one of the courts OF chan
cerv TO have his marriage annulled

Doctor had even urged MS --s prior
to the granting of divorce which
Mrs. Wallace obtained from her form
er husband and had showed such
manifest interest in her future we'll
fare as to cause their many friends to
look forward to happy future.
Doctors Love Loses Warmth
many changing vicisitudes OF lite, es-
pecially those affecting the social side
of it, seems to have had its effect on
the conduct of the doctor. 1t was in
timated by some of his friends that i'll
the coming and going of many of the
fair ones to his Office, the good doctor
seemingly began to close his eyes on
the dear little woman at 3454 Rhodes |
Avenue whom he had promised to |
love and cherish and began to open
them, with wistful glance upon some |
who did not view life with such seri
Gus intent as did Mrs. Plummer. For
a time even after these rumors had
reached the ears of the one whom
they disturbed most (the wife), she
sought to laugh away her fears by en-
deavoring to put on bold front and
deny alleged sins of her husbands.
Shadow Becomes a Reality
Much to her sorrow, however, the
thing that she sought to chase away
as being only a phantom has now
come to be a realization and actual
divorce proceedings have been begun
asking for an annullment of the mar
riage. 1t is said that the doctor will
base his charges on the marriage be-
ing performed before the expiration
of the statutory limitation. 1t is con-
tended by friends of the wife that this
is merely technicality on the part of
the doctor in order that he may wor
ship at the shrine of another goddess
of love. 1t is rumored that the woman
who has played an important part as
the destroyer of Mrs. Plummer's
home is herself married woman.
This of course could not be confirmed.
The trial of the case WILL however,
bring to light all of the hidden facts
incidental thereto and will likely cause
another suit for divorce on the part
of persons whose names as yet have
not been mentioned.
