ing Acquitted in Highway
Robbery Case

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 1S.-
Anthony Zullo, of Port Reading, on
trial in the county court yesterday
on a charge of highway robbery, was
acquitted at the direction of Judge
Daly on the ground that the state
had failed to prove him responsible
for taking the whiskey that figured
in the theft of a truckload valued
at several thousand dollars at Sc
warren, on April Z.
Immediately after the case of the
state had been presented to the jury
Attorney David T. Wilentz, counsel
for the defendant, moved for d.
rected verdict of acquittal though
such a disposal was.the ground Tor
objection by Assistant Prosecutor
John r. Toolan. Mr.. Toolan main
tained that the chain of events prov
ed by the state constituted SUFFICIENT
ground to allow it to go TO the jury
for consideration. Mr.. Wilentz, on
the contrary. held that the state had
proved nothing against his client.
In making his decision Judge Daily
said the highway robbery charge
had not been sustained because the
state had failed TO show that the
owner of the truck had been intimi-
dated through violence, threats or
bodily fear.

January, az which time he was re-
moved to his home in Cranbury to
recuperate.
He gradually regained his
strength and early in March was
able to go to his office in New

year of his third term as surrogate
of Middlesex county, he having been
reelected by a large majority last

he decided to take up a mercantile
career and entered the store of y.

salesman, then bookkeeper ana
later cashier. Later he made an
other step upward by entering the
drygoods house of Ridley & Son il
years there he established a store OF
his own in South Amboy.
The business career of Mr.. Clay
ton was interrupted by the death of
his father and as there was no one
else in the family to take up the
management of the farm he return

member of the board of trustees Of
the Prospect Plains schools and
when each township was made Il
district with all of the schools uu-
der one board he was elected to the

low and did not think readvertising
would get any better bids.
Alderman John J. Clark said he
wanted 10 qualify his vote along the
