NEWARK, N. J., February g.
Eighteen men and women, motoring
early today from the Baltusrol Col
Club at Springfield. where they hat
been dinner guests of Thomas De
Bevoise, were held up and robbed by
three armed bandits. who had blocked
the road with logs, tree branches
stones and other obstacles.
Robert S. Huse of Elizabeth, a. law.

by one of the robbers. The bulle,
broke his arm.

up quickly and their money taken
from them The robbers demanded
cash only, paying no attention to the
Jewels worn by the fashionably
gowned women. Similar tactics Were
employed with the occupants of the
other cars. The highwaymen then
ordered James p. Thomas of Eliza
beth, stock broker. to drive them
away. Mrs. Thomas was in the car.
Two got in with her and the third
stood on the running board, shouting
a final warning to the other victiras
to make no attempt to leave until
they were out of sight.
Thomas increased his speed under
threats of the robbers until near
Kenilworth, when he was ordered to
stop. The bandits then got out, held
a brief whispered consultation and
disappeared in the darkness.

officer OF Virginia, is about to face
for the third time jury in the Prince

while attempting to arrest Raymond
Shackleford and Lawrence Hudson,
who were in charge of an automobile
containing 249 quarts Of whisky. Hall
shot and killed both occupants of the
car during a gun fight which the de-
PENDANTS claim. was precipitated by
Shackleford, who fired at him when he
stepped on the running board of the
whisky car.
Hall was first tried in this coun-
ty September. 1919, the second trial
was the following January. Both
trials resulted in hung juries. the
first being six for acquittal and six
for conviction. The second jury was
three for acquittal and nine for con-
viction.
Hall was defended by the state pro-
hibition department in the first two
trials. The state prohibition depart

TO the President-elect that this course
be followed. it is understood.
The board consists of seven MEM

the Paris indemnity demands Germany

that has been outraged by it's bullying
neighbors who won the war which Ger
storm of indignation which has swept
over the country in the last ten days
the writer thought it would not be out
of the way to ask some of the leading
German politicians for their views as to
what Germany's indemnity demands
would have been had she won the war
Three replies have been received, two
have asked as large an indemnity in pro-
portion as that asked by the entente.
The views of Count Ernest Zu Revent-
low, former managing editor of the pam
German Tageszeitung and now a
reichstag delegate and member OF
were set forth by him as follows:
I'm answer to your question. I can
say with certainty that Germany would
never have made indemnity demands
which would have ruined not only her
enemies but also all of Europe and the
whole of the civilized world. She would
have been neither stupid nor vindictive
enough to make slaves of her enemies.
Germany got the best of her rivals be-
fore on account of her efficiency in the
export trade, and for that reason she
never would have ruined her enemies
upon whom she depended as buyers OF
her products.
IF Germany had won I think 1t

KINGSTON, r. L, February T.
Discovery OF the long-sought fer

APPEALS COURT GRANTS
RETRIAL OF LIQUOR CASE
Conviction of Peter Lotus in Pc.
lice Court, on Charge of Sell
ing Alcohol, Set Aside.

The District Court Of Appeals in an
onpinion by Justice Hitz, who sat in the
absence of Justice Robb, today set aside
the conviction of Peter Lotus. charged
in the Police Court with selling alco-
holic liquor. A new trial was ordered.
= Lotus was arrested December 10,
1918. and was not tried until June IS,
1920. The evidence to support the
charge consisted of a half-pint bottle
supposed to contain whisky and which
was purchased by a police agent with
marked bills. When the bottle was pre-
sented in evidence it was found to have
been opened and recorked.
The custody of the bottle during the
eighteen months between the arrest
and trial was not accounted for to the
satisfaction of the appellate court,
which pointed out that there was no
proof to show that either at the time
of the alleged purchase or when pro-
duced before the jury it contained
whisky or other alcoholic drink
The police judge erred in allowing
such evidence to go to the jury, JUS
tice Hitz holds.
