MIND BLANK, SWEARS
EDITH WILSON'S SLAYER
Negro in Guarded Court Says
Confessions We're Forced.

The trial of George Washington
knight, negro charged with the mur-
der of Mrs. Edith Wilson of Perth Am
boy on the night of March II, began
yesterday before Justice James j. Ber-
gen In the Middlesex County Court in
New Brunswick. The State examined
several witnesses and finished Its case,
knight being on the witness stand un-
der direct examination when the trial
was adjourned until to-day.
Because of the feeling against knight
in Perth Amboy and New Brunswick
Sheriff William Wyckoff put extra
guards about the court house. but there
was much muttering in the large crowd
that collected outside the building and
Several negroes tried to enter the court
room but were chased away. Through
out the trial Knight will be heavily
guarded on his trips to and from the
court room, and guards at the county
Jail will also be increased.
Besides the testimony of several wit
nesses, including John Kelly. who found
the body. and Miss Sue FRANKIE. the last
of Mrs. Wilson'S friends to see her alive.
the State introduced two confessions
made by Knight, in which he admitted
having assaulted and murdered Mrs.
Wilson after drinking gin in a saloon.
On the witness stand Knight answered
questions intelligently, but declared his
mind was a blank and that he did not
know what had happened. He said he
was forced to sign the confessions. The
State put into the record a report by
alienists showing the negro Is sane.

URGES COAL BUYING TO
AVERT FAMINE PRICES
The Coal Age Points Value
of Early Contracts.

Hints of famine prices OF coal next
autumn IL buyers do not make con-
tracts now are voiced by Coal Age. a
trade periodical. in its weekly review.
At the present time. the paper says,
the coal market is distinguished by en-
tire lack of interest Many buyers are
asking for quotations on next years
business, but they are holding their
ideas down to the level of the spot
market and refuse to talk business for
the year at figures the coal shipper
says are reasonable
TT is felt that unless something is
done to break the present deadlock in
buying the deficit in stocks may be-
come so great as to preclpitate serious
condition next fall" Coal Age states.
Seeking to penetrate the psychology
of the coal buyers strike, many in the
trade find an absolute lack of under
standing on the part of some consumers
of the real reasons for coal prices and
a resultant dogged determination to
stay out OF market until prices are
lower and on the part of others Keen
appreciation of present conditions and
a desire to play the game to the finish,
patiently waiting for the best price that
can be obtained"
The buyer is uncertain. 1t Is said. as
to the amount of coal he will actually
need. due to the fact that he does not
know what Is before him industrtally.
Many of the coal dealers. 1T is declared,
are Indifferent as to what buyers 40,
and one element welcomes our present
idleness as an opportunity to visit Flor
ida and as holding out excellent chances
of famine prices later

When Mr.. Mack sat down, Mr.. Nfcoll

Mr.. Brennan had made this allusion

Tor the bills of the family, Mr.. Brennan
inquired that the children had cost Mr..
Stillman $4,000 in seven months and
mrs. Stillman $4,000 in eight months
