MAYOR PLEASED
At WORK DONE
Loud in Praises of keyport
Men as Well as the Police
of This City.

Mayor William c. Wilson was
loud in his praise of the keyport.
local and county authorities for
their. work in cleaning up the mur-
der of Mrs. Edith Wilson, committed
in this city last Saturday night. He
stated that this cleanup has relieved
the. minds of all the people. He
also stated that he was gratified at
the attitude of the people, who, al
though greatly wrought up, attemp-
ted no violence or disorder.
The mayor stated that the city
owes a debt of gratitude to the men
at Keyport for their quickness in
arresting the negro. and also the
police here for following up the
case, as well as the county authori-
ties. The city officials here have
every confidence in a quick trial by
the county authorities, the mayor
added.
The mayor and police committee
notified Chief OF Police Tonnesen on
Sunday to spare no time or expense
in bringing the person responsible
for the murder 10 justice. This ac-
ton of the mayor and the police
committee spurred the police on in
their efforts and after the murder
confession had been received. the

Negro;s s Trial March 24;
Stricken Praises Police

ton Knight, the negro who confess
ed to the murder OF Mrs. Harvey
Wilson in Perth Amboy Saturday
night, ran so high in this city and
Perth Amboy last night. that Alfred
Puerchner, warden of the county
Jail here where the negro is colf1n ed
took all precautions against mob
violence upon the arrival of the
prisoner at the Jail.
The warden last night put all the
extra guards at work. This includ-
ed the night and day guards as well
as the jailers. making a total OF
eight men. The Jail itself took on
tAe appearance of an arsenal, for
not only were the men armed with
revolvers, but the riot guns were SO
arranged that they would be ready
at a minutes notice. Warden Puer-
schner stated that he would not let
knight leave the Jail but under due
process of law. He maintained that
knight had been placed in his hands
for safekeeping asd he expects to
keep him safe until wanted.
County Detective William NJ.
Fitzpatrick. it was learned this
morning. has obtained a much more
complete confession from Knight.
than he gave the Perth Amboy po-
lice. When questioned about this
confession, the detective referred all
queries to the prosecutor.
City Marshal Bert Moore of Perth
Amboy. today brought Cranshaw.
Henderson, Faulkers and Bates, the
three colored men who are held as
material witnesses in the case. to the
county Jail and they have been plac-
ed in the witness department. where
they will remain until the case comes
up for trial.
II is felt that knight is very safe
in Jail and that only the electric chair
can do justice in this case.
This city is almost as much
wrought up over the murder a
Perth Amboy. and no matter where
one goes the murder becomes tht
topic of conversation. Everyone
seems to be more or less in tbs
lynching mood, but there has beer
no attempt at mob violence. Tht
people here seem to feel that ths
affair effects the whole of Middlese,
county and not only Perth Amboy.

Not Known Around Matawan

fBy Evening News Correspondent
MATAWAN. March 15:-The au-
thorities here deny all knowledge of
such a person as George Washington
knight, who is held by the authori-
ties of Middlesex county as the
murderer OF Mrs. Harvey Wilson in
Perth Amboy on Saturday night.
Officer John Mulsof, head of the
local police force, who keeps a rec
ord of everyone who gets into
trouble in this vicinity. said last
night that he did not know knight.
and that he must be a new arrival
here. The fact that the negro quar-
ter in Cliffwood is for the most part
located in Middlesex county. the
Monmouth county authorities are
not called upon to keep a close eye
on it.
Colored people around Matawan
who have been questioned fail 10
recall such a person as George
Washington knight. Many say they
never heard of him. 1t has been
learned that the colored folks had
a crap game in Matawan Sunday.
as some residents of the borough
taking a walk happened to see the
men playing under a bridge. From
what can be learned IL is likely that
knight was a visitor in Keyport and
did not have occasion to come often
to this borough
