Free Central R. R. From
Charges of Gross Negli-

80.
JURY OUT 80 MINUTES
Selection of Person to Guard
Crossing Main Issue of
the Trial
NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 12-,

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 12-The
: verdict OF the jury yesterday at
kernoon acquitting the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey of mansiaugh-
ter charge in connection with the
recent Market street disaster, freed
the corporation of any responsibility
for gross negligence in connection
with the accident. The jury delib-
Grated on q verdict for about thir-
ty minutes.
About one hour and fifteen min
utes was consumed by the two attor
ncys in summing up their final ar
sunents and the charge to the jury
by Judge Peter f. Daily. Prosecutor
Joseph E. Stricken in summing up,
tased his arguments strictly on the
opening remarks of Judge Daily that
he would charge the jury that the
corporation legally had a response
bility in selecting a person to prop
erly care for the crossing.
Carefully Charges Jury
The court In charging the jury
return verdict ON any preiudices
they, may have against the railroad,
but only from the evidence and law
as presented. The jury members
were asked to consider if the gate
tender was a capable choice for this
work and also if the railroad was
operating their trains in a safe man
ner. The court asserted that the
railroad was in no way responsible
for the inability of the gate-tender
to lower the gates because of the
crowd crossing the tracks.
The deciding Of this case was
based around the point, whether or
not The railroad company had select
ed the proper type os man to do the
work. The state contended that it
had not, while the defendants de-
clare that the sixty-four year old
lyman was capable 1t was pointed
Abut that al equipment of the COM
'pany at this crossing was in good
working order previous to the acci-
dent.

According to the story told the
police and the facts established by
their Investigations, the death of
Sellers wife occurred following a
day of celebration during which
both became intoxicated. On the
next morning Mrs. Szeler was still
in an intoxicated condition and
Szeier says that he found fault be-
cause she drank so much. This
made his wife angry and she. it is
alleged, threw some furniture at
him. This enraged SZeler and he
grabbd her by the throat choking
her.
When he released his hold. ac-
cording to Szeler, his wife was suf-
fering SO much pain that he then
went to the cellar and getting the
AK hit her a couple of times on the
head, killing her. He then hid the
body in the cellar under some
boards, where it remained until he
notified the police. During the week
that elapsed from the time the
murder occurred until the confess
sion was made and the body discov-
cred, Szeler claims that he went
back to look at the body several
times to see if it was still dead.

ALSO CITY PLAN BODY

Mayor William C. Wilson an
nounced tins morning that he would
name Il new city rt mmission and the
members of the redistricting COM
mittee as well at the meeting of the
Board of Aldermen Monday night.
The terms of the nine city plan COM
missioners expired January l of this
year, they all having been named
for one year by the mayor last jan
uary. Last Monday night was the
regular meeting of The city body and
several of the mem hers got together
but owing to the fact that their
terms had expired they transacted
no cuisines,
The new members of the city plan
board will be named for terms of
one. two and three years. the mayor
said. he having beer informed that
a change Al the law made it possible
to give longer terms than one year.
The members of the 1921 city plan
COMMITTEES were: Adolph Green
baum, chairman, Mrs. Ethel Wog-
lom MAIDS H. Madsen. Mrs. Bertha
Pierce, Eliseo Ricci w. B. Majew-
ski tdeceaced), Frederick c. Ernst,
Ira K. Grouse and Richard A Bolger.
Three Members on Ward Lines
There VIII probably be three MEM
bers of the redistrIcting committee.
Mayor Wilson said, whose duty it
will be to redistrict the city SO that
the population of one ward shall not
be as great az that of any two othres.
The naming of the redistricting
committee was attempted last year
but the Democrats secured a re-
straining order which prevented the
Republicans from going ahead
with their plans. The report of
the red;stricting committee must
be approved by the aldermen in
order 10 be effective.
There is considerable comment
upon the possibilities of this COM
mittee's work being approved by
the aldermen. 1t is generally
agreed that an effort by the COM
mittee to so divide the city as to
strengthen the Republicans
chances at the election will be de-
feated as the Democratic Board of
will have the last word.
If, however, the redistricting is
done without the idea of favoring
either party, the general opinion
seems to be that the report will be
accepted as being for the good of
the city.

ACTION 7 AIKEN
FOR HOSPITAL
Early Erection of County Tu-
bercuIoSis Hospital Seen
in Lyons Move

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 49,
Definite action pointing toward the
early erett ton of a hospital for the
tuberculfr in the county wG1 taken
at Trenton yesterday when Assem-
blyman c. Raymond Lyons, County
Solicitor Frederick Richardson an1
Freeholder Louis Belloff conferred
with DR.. Price of the State Board of
Health in regard to the project.
The primary purpose of the con-
ference was to have the State Board
of Health make an inspection of the
site between Metuchen and Menlo
Park at present owned by the coun-
ty. This site was purchased years
ago by a previous board of free
holders. DR.. Price assured the Mid
dlesex representatives that he would
arr,nge for an inspection by the
state body very shortly and make a
definite decision as soon as possible.
At present the entire personnel of
the freeholders seem to be in favor
of the construction of such an insti-
tuition and want it to go up this year
if it can prove to be at all practica-
BILE. They do not, however, favor
the erection of the building called
for by the plans drawn up at the
direction of a previous board at a
cost of $4,000.
The building specified in the
plans now available would cost be-
tween 100000 and 100000. it is
estimated and the freeholders DO
not believe such an outlay to lie
possible at this time. What they
do advocate is the construction of
2 hospital in units, each unit to
have about fifty beds. Erection of
the first unit would begin rs soon
as possible. according to the plan
outlined and succeeding units fol-
low as closely as could be arranged.
The cos- has been placed at about
$3.50 for each unit
Freebooter Robert Vanden5 2rgh
said this morning he was in favor
of the present plan for constrIc-
tion under the unit project and
thought it the only solution of TIE
problem. Tentative sketches to
show just what may be accomplish
ell by this means are being pr apar-
ed now ard the county may ex-
pvct prompt action " the free
holders.
