on $122,ooo Loss of BenzoI and
Guncotton by French in
Black Tom Blast.

Trenton.-Conviction of Guilford G.
Young, of Haddonfeld, for the murder
of Harry Garwood, was upheld by the
court OF errors and appeals, which an
nounced more than a half-hundred
decisions in cases argued at the March
term. The vote in the Young case was
unanimous, and the opinion was writ
ten by Justice Bergen.
Young was convicted of the murder
of Garwood in Delaware Township,
Camden county, on July %, 1921, and
after shooting the crippled jitney
driver, Young robbed him and then
drove off with the murdered mans
machine. He was sentenced by Justice
Katzenbach to die in the electric chair
during the week beginning December
1S, but the appeal stayed the execution.
Young will be resentenced
Justice Bergen's opinion held that
the confession made by Young to Pros
ecutor Wolverton was involuntary and
its admission in evidence was not legal
error. The court overruled other con-
tentions relative to the admission of
erroneous testimony.
Trenton Verdict Upheld
A verdict for $4,000 recovered by
Mrs. Caroline Mahan, of Trenton,
against Mrs. Elizabeth Walker, also of
this city, was upheld Mrs. Mahan
sued for the death of her husband, who
was run down and killed by an auto
mobile owned by Mrs. Walker and
driven by her son-in-law at the time of
the accident.
A Judgment entered in the Atlantic
Circuit IN favor of the Aerial League
of America against the Aircraft Fire
pr0Ofing Corporation was reversed.
The league gave an aeronautic exposi-
tion, the third Pan-American aero
nautic in Atlantic City, from May 20 toi
30, 1920 Under an agreement, the de-
fendant leased $50 square feet of space,
which was later increased to 1900
square feet and for which it was
agreed to pay $1,000 instead of $500.
The additional space was never used,
but the Fireproofing Company had paid
$500 under the written contract The
balance was refused upon the theory
4 that it's representative was not author
lied to secure the additional space.
French Claim Is Affirmed
A verdict of $122,566.22, of which
$22,91S.Sl represented interest, OBJ
tanned in the Hudson circuit by the
Republic of France against the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company was af-
firmed. The appeal of the Erie had to
do with the loss by France of eight
cars of non-explosive benzol and wet
guncotton, which were standing in the
railroad yard on July 80, 1916, the date
of the Black Tom explosion. The jury
held that the railroad was negligent in
the care and custody of the material.
Verdicts aggregating $1,650 recov-
cred by Henry Toohey of 224 Vose
avenue, South Orange, and his son,
Cornelius Toohey, against Franklin
Webster, of East Orange, for personal
injuries sustained by the son were af-
firmed. While employed as caddle
on the South Orange Field Club links
Toohey, who is thirteen years old, was
struck in the right eye by ball driven
by Webster. The boy suffered almost
the total loss of vision of the eye. 1t
was contended that Webster failed to
utter the customary warning of "fore, ;"
or, in fact, any other signal before
starting his play.
Tenant Suit Is Decided
In holding that Milton F. Champion,
a photographer, was yearly tenant
and could not be elected from the
premises at North Laurel and Wash
lngton streets, Bridgeton, without three
months notice given prior to January
l, the Cumberland circuit was affirmed.
The proceedings were started by
George and Albert c. Haier to eject
Champion.
The premises, on January 1, 1915,
was leased to Champion for term of
three years at $25 month, the lease
containing the privilege of renewal for
an additional three years, which was
exercised. The plaintiff refused to re-
new for new term beginning January
], 1921, and Champion held over after
that date without any new bargain
being made
In May of last year notice was
served upon Champion to quit the
premises the following September,
which he disregarded and the present
action was started In substance the
Cumberland circuit held that if the
tenant held over by consent of the
landlord the resultant tenancy was not
from month to month, but was from
year to year. and could only be termi-
mated on notice given on three months
notice prior to January |.
