Three More Figure in Wood
bridge Case, County De-
tective David Says.
GRAND JURY TO ACT
Will Be Presented to That
Body This Week Is Present
Outlook.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. THE
latest developments in the Wood
bridge blackhand case as given out
this morning by Detective Ferd A.
David of the prosecutors office in
clCded an announcement of the i'm
plication of three more persons pre-
vicusly detained under bail as ma
terial witnesses, and also an express
ed opinion that the entire case was
about cleared up.
Six people, five men and a woman,
are now accused of participation in
the alleged attempt To extort $4,000
from Dominick Cerula( Perth Am
boy Italian grocer, by means of let
terE threatening death as the PEN
atty for failure to comply. A week
of work by the county authorities
has increased the number of sus-
poets by three and the case is now
said to be ready for presentation to
the grand jury.
This morning Detective David
made formal complaints against Jo-
seph De march,, of Glen Cove. L.
l.: Antonia Silvano, said to be the
lawn, and woman known as Mrs
Barrorne. These three came to tnis
city on Thursday and were detained
by the authorities for examination.
De Marchi is thought to be the
fourth man who escaped from the
Woodbridge Italian cemetery when
Officer Mathews arrested Matteo
Nassaro, Peter Baritone, and Domi-
MIX Zebbo. He is accused of active
participation in the case, with the
two women held under $4,000 bail
as material witnesses. Zebbo is new
believed to be the author of the
threatening epistle sent to Cerula.
Investigation has also resulted in the
information that all of the men with
the exception of DeMarchi, were cru
ployed by the American Smelling
and Refining Company for two weeks
prior to their arrest.
During the examination of DeMar-
chi and the two women the author
tiles detected discrepancies in testi-
mony that are said to have involved
DeMarchi with Nassaro. Zebbo and
Baritone. Originally Baritone was the
only man held as a principal in the
case but investigation has success
fully resulted in complaints against
the others as well. The county de-
tectives have made good progress
on the occurrence since the arrests
at Woodbridge and are confident low
it is declared. that their work Is
practically completed.

REPORT KELLY
|NNAY0RRA
Says He Will Not Run for
FreehoIder. Philip Co.'S
teI|o for Latter Office.
MOVE AGAINST CANNON
Means That John K. Sheehy
Will Have Opposition at
Primary Race.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. C.
John Kelly for mayor of Perth AM
boy. This is the latest political
dope" heard about the county
buildings here in conversations
among the various political leaders
The situation in Perth Amboy, it is
declared. is such that it leaves no
possibility for Kelly to be a candi-
date for freeholder as has been the
demand of county politicians. but
calls for him to carry the banner of
mayor in the coming campaign.
tits common talk about the county
that William c. Wilson, the present
Republican mayor. who is slated for
reelection will be hard man to
defeat and Kelly is therefore looked
upon as the strongest candidate .he
Democrats can put up against Will
son. Kelly is held to be a man that
the rank and file of the Democratic
voters can rally behind and there
seems to be but little question in
the minds of Democratic politicians
| of the city and county that he can
! lead the Democratic party to victory,
! In the contest for Mayor.
! Should Kelly become a candidate
an interesting primary fight is pre-
dicted for the Democrats, as John
X. Sheehy has already announced
himself candidate for that office.
The fight would prove doubly inter-
esting because of the fact that
that Sheehy is a Cannon man.
while Kelly is president o, the City
Democratic Club, an organization
which Cannon and his followers re-
fuse to recognize.
AT the MiddleseX county day at
Sea Girt, a week ago last Friday, the
attention of the politicians was most
ly centered on the candidates for
freeholder and mayor of this city.
Among the discussions was one be-
tween the county politicians and
those from this city as to whether
or rot Kelly would be candidate
fo~ freeholder or mayor. The city
men want him for mayor, while the
county men demand that he run for
freeholder. At that time Kelly
stated that he was in the hands Of
his friends and would do whatever
they desired. Evidently his friends.
according to reports, have come to
an understanding and he will be tie
candidate for mayor.
The report that Kelly will run for
mayor, however. does not allow the
freeholder nomination to go begging
for the talk heard also indicates
that a settlement has been reached
for candidate for freeholder. This
candidate will be Philip Costello an
insurance man of Perth Amboy.
Mr.. Costello is a young man and is
said to be popular not only In his
home city, but also throughout the
county. 1t is maintained that he
will receive the support of the
younger members of the party.

Coal Commission Soon

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Presl-
dent Harding is looking toward the
Cleveland meeting hopefully. the
FIRST step the administration Is exc
pected to take after the outcome OF
the joint gathering is evident ia
the appointment of a commission TO
inquire into the coal industry and
compile all the facts appertalning
to it.
The designation of this commjs-
sion was anticipated last week, but
President Harding did not want the
government to take action until the
operators and miners had tested the
possibility of settling the strike
among themselves.
Some belief is expressed that Pres
ident Harding will name the COM
mission whether or not the Cleve-
land meeting succeeds. II it fails,
they foresee an effort to make the
commission an arbitration body. AL
though once rejected by the miners,
such an idea might prove more ac-
certable after an attempt at direct
negotiations proved futile.
