SUPREME COURT OPENS
WITH TAO CASES TO Be TRIED

TRENTON. June 6-The supreme
court opened its June term here
this morning with 40 cases on the
printed list for hearing during the
term.
Perhaps the most interesting
cases which the court will consider
are the murder. charges against An
tonic Turco and Angelo Carlino,
who were convicted in Sussex county
of killing Albert Roster. driver of
a silk truck en- route for Paterson.
The trial of these men aroused so
much indignation in Sussex county
that counsel sought to have the
trial removed to another court, to
get away from the local prejudice
against the accused men. 1t was
charged that at the trial of other
defendants the court audience hiss
ed when the defendants scored a
point. and %applauded when the state
proved something against them.
This application was denied. Error
is assigned. among other reasons
on the ground that Turco and Car
line did not have their full rights
as to notice of jurors. a complete
panel or As jurors. etc.
A case of much importance to
Jersey City is that of Thomas J..
Stewart against the city. in which it
is sought to upset the ordinance
of the city passed in November of
1921 authorizing the erection or &C
QUESTION of a municipal gas plant.
