So Senator Thomas Brown, of Perth
Amboy finished his final plea to Vice
Chancellor Fielder yesterday after
noon to dismiss the petition through
which Mrs Emily +. Nichols. of ZIG
Bergen street, this city. sought d.
vorce from John ID. Nichols, of South
Amboy. who since he lost both feet
in 1881, has been unable to carr
wages large enough to satisfy his wife
demands.
Browns plea vas futile for a de-
cree In favor of Mrs. Nichols was
granted. The court, however. ex-
pressed much sympathy for the Grip
pied husband. and fixed the allowance
Of alimony at SIS a month and coun-
sci fee al $50.
Nichols is employed in the Penn
~sylvania railroad freight office at
South Amboy overlooking the loc9-
motive turntable which cut off both
of Nichols feet when a boy.

2 BARRELS OF WHISKEY
CAUSE COURT ACTION

~ StuH CORRESPONDENT.
NEW BRUNSWICK, June IL
Quite an interesting case was started
In the district court here yesterday
and will be completed a week from
Monday. Wendell Smith of New
Brunswick Is the plaintiff while the
director general of railroads Is the
defendant. The case Is really brought
against the Raritan River and Cen
trail railroads.
This action originated from a pur-
chase in August, 1918, by Smith of
two barrels of whiskey from a on
Germ in New York. The two barrels
were received and stored in the cell
lar. When they were wanted for use
1t was found that one contained water,
and the plaintiff is suing for the loss
of the barrel.
The plaintiff who is represented by
F. w. Hayes of New Brunswick pro-
duced a witness who saw the barrels
leaving the warehouse, and the man
who delivered the barrels. The Cen
trail Railroad is represented by DE
Voc Tomilson and the Raritan River
Railroad Company is represented by
John A. Coan.

that he had promised to find a nome
In South Amboy where the reunited
family could live. He failed to full
fill that promise and because of his
failure he was adjudged guilty of con-
structive desertion.
Senator Brown commended that Mrs.
Nichols had sought the reconciliation,
not because she wanted TO return to
her husband, but to lay the ground
work of the technically on which her
counsel, H.. Edward Wolf, based his
desertion charge.
"You cannot get away from the
fact that she made the overture," the
court remarked. "and that he, ct
least passively, rejected it."

officers went to the spot, but no sign
of the mystery man could be found.
Early last. evening Mr.. Evans re-

call, during which the speaker gave
him detailed instructions on how to

The two officers grappled with him,
but he wrestled himself free and fled
as they fired shots after him without
effect.
A moment later Thompson called
precipitously at the home of Professor
Emslie, the professor said later. He
was out of breath and explained the
fact by saying that he had fallen in

by heart trouble, to which he was sus-
ceptible. Professor Emslie was suspi-
cious and reported the call to the sher-
If. Thompson was taken into custody,

Young Man Is Trapped by officers
After Mysterious Calls on Phone
Are Traced and Makes Full
Confession.

Fort Collins, Colo.-C. H. Thompson,
a student at the conservatory of mu-
sic of the state agricultural college,
confessed to District Attorney Russell
w. Fleming and Professor Alexander
Emslie, head of the conservatory of
music, that he had attempted to extort
by means of "bl3ck hand" letters S1O,-
600 from Charles r. Evans, wealthy
banker and live stock man of this
city, according to the two men to whom
the confession is said to have been
presented.
Thompson declared that he had no
accomplices and that the sole reason
for his selection of the banker as his
expected victim was his need for ready
money.
Mr.. Evans received the first letter in
which "blackhand" tactics were sus-
pected last week. 1t notified him that
he had been elected to donate $4,000
to the American Equalization organi-
cation.
Family Threatened.
Directions for the hiding of the
money for the "blackhanders'' were to
be phoned to Evans, the letter stated,
threatening him and his entire family
with death if he failed to comply.
Mr.. Evans notified Sheriff Elmer /.
Cooke and District Attorney Russell
w. Fleming who were unsuccessful in
locating the sender of the missive.
On Saturday night came telephone
call, later traced to the stock judging
pavilion at the agricultural college,
threatening the banker and instructing
him to place the money behind Unity
church. The officers and Evans drove
to the spot, but nothing happened.
On Monday night, Mr.. Evans re
ceived another telephone call from @
man who directed him to hide the
money at q certain spot near the agri-
cultural college grounds.
