WIFE SLAYER'S
SANITY TESTED
Alex SzeIer, Who Killed Wife,
Examined by DR.. Ramsay
in County Jail
RESULT NOT GIVEN OUT
Will Likely be Indicted by the
Grand Jury at Session
on Friday
RESULT NOT GIVEN OUT

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 4
Alex Szeler, the self confessed
murderer, who on Monday after
noon walked into the Perth Amboy
police station and calmly informed
the authorities he had killed his
rife the day after Christmas because
she drank too much whiskey. will
have his case presented to the grand
Jury for consideration on Friday,
Prosecutor Joseph E. Stricken said
this morning. The prosecutor also
stated that when an indictment is re-
turned by the jury an early date will
be set for the trial.
Szeler was the man who caused
sensation at the police station when
he quietly announced his crime and
asked what he should do with the
body. He said he first choked his
wife with his hands and then, when
he saw she was suffering, struck
her twice on the head with an ak.
The body was concealed in his cellar
by a number of boards.
Suspecting that the man may be
mentally unsound, Prosecutor
Joseph Stricken har ordered an
examination of Szeler's condition in
stituted and with this end in view
DR.. William Ramsay, of Perth AM
boy, came here this morning to talk
with the prisoner held in the county
jail. DR.. Ramsay conducted an ex-
animation in an effort to determine
Szeler's mental status but the result
has not been announced.
There seems to be little doubt but
what Szeler killed his wife in the
manner stated, according to the po-
lice. He said he had only had three
drinks that day and was clear and
lucid in answering the questions put
at the time of giving his signed
statement to the Perth Amboy de-
tectives. Indications are, however,
that the deed caused certain re-
action and that repeated visits to the
body of his wife in the interval of
six days between the time he COM
mitted the murder until he gave
himself up, may have upset his
poise.

BRIDGE REPAIRS
TO COST $4,000
Highway Commission Ratifies
Action of State Engineer
WaSser--To Improve Pier

TRENTON, Jan. 4.-The State
Highway Commission today ratified
the action taken by State Engineer
Thomas j. Wasser in applying to
the State House Committee for per-
mission to spend $4,000 as an emer-
gency measure to improve the center
pier on the state bridge between
Perth Amboy and South Amboy.
This action, it is understood, is a
precautionary one in preparation
for the heavy automobile traffic
over this structure throughout the
summer to and from New York and
the coast resorts.
A tug rammed the center of the
bridge several months ago causing
considerable damage and weakening
the structure so that all traffic was
stopped for a week until temporary
repairs We're made. The work of
replanking the bridge is now being
done by Gus Wickberg, of Perth
Amboy, and efforts are being made
to put it in good condition. The
present structure must be used until
the new bridge is completed. The
new structure will be built to the
right of the present bridge.

FOR HARMONY
Difficulties Wiped Out at Long
Session YeSterday--C Clear
Sailing Last Night

The initial meeting of the new
council. which is now controlled by
a Democratic majority of five to
two. was held last night in city hall
and conducted in quick, snappy,
business-l like manne: under the guild
ing hand CT Richard j. Calvin, the
newly elected a!derman-at-lar
| The council chamber was filled to

conclusion of the meeting for the
smooth manner in which the meet

of n long caucus which lasted almost
eight hours yesterday during which
time the Democratic board members
were il secret session from 10
o'clock in the morning until $50
O'Clock in the afternoon without any
intermission. All difficulties and diff

ironed oct at this session as there
was no dissension last night.
Before the meeting got under way
the Democrats held another short
conference for the purpose of going

OF the capture of Cares from the

the whereabouts of Cares from the
time he left the haunts in New

While all credit must be given to
Chief of Police O'ConneIl, of New

John Ferguson, recognition must be
given to the men who discovered
Cares at the shack of his brother,
Wesley Cares. and stood guard over
the shack with loaded shot gun

When a little red sweater was held
up for her inspection, the mother
broke down in tears, greatly af-
fected, and identified the remainder
of the clothing while shaken by
sobs The sight failed to move Cares
in the slightest degree.
DIR. John l.. Suydam, county
physician, was next on the stand
and described the autopsy performs
ed by him after the body of tho
child was discovered. Strangula-s
t,on was given as, the causs 5ss,
death and long cash in the neck
was said to have resulted from the
tightening of the cord used by tho
murderer. DR.. Suydam also mem
toned the torn and mutilated con-
dition of little Teresa's body.
Coroner John v. Hubbard was
summoned as a witness and re-
counted his viewing the body at the
Hotel Albany and was called upo.l
to identify the clothing in the pos
session of the prosecutor as that Oh
Teresa's body when he saw it.
The map and plan submitted BY
AnthNly Silzer, Jr., for Use in ths4
trial was accepted following an ex-s
animation of the civil engineer.
Damaging testimony for the do
ltliCt was SiNtlI ny III. JOtill is
Anderson, director OF Squlbb S L.alias-
ratory, who declared that chemical
tests had showed traces of hunl9n
blood on q shirt, sweater and unIet
clothing belonging to Cares and On

examined the doctor as to how he
knew the stains were made by liz
man blood. The doctor then gave
IL minute description of the method
recognized by all laboratories for
determining whether or not stains
arc made by human blood
George Brandt, a resident of the
Bellmore hotel, said he was in the
bar room of the establishment on
Thursday afternoon previous to the
murder and was there until
o'clock. He said Cares came in Al
1890 and was still playing with
Teresa on the floor of the room
when he, Brandt, left. Coming back
at o'clock, the witness continued
both Cares and the little girl had
disappeared.
Mike Pecuskey, supposed to be
one of the bartenders in the hotel
identified Cares as the stranger who
entered the place shortly after noon
on Thursday. lie said the prisoner
remained there for some time and
when Pecuskey went out for hall
hour, returning later, Cares and Te-
resa We're not in the room.
After hearing this witness the
court adjourned until lao O'Clock.
The jury was taken under guard to
the Hotel Klein for lunch. AS soon
as the court room was emptied,
crowds of persons unable to gain adj
mission at the morning session
flocked into the court room and in
a few minutes the room was jammed
to the doors with a new lot of lis
teners.
1t is not thought likely that the
trial can possibly end today and

carry the trial well into tomorrow.
