Tells of Bomb Plot in Perth
Amboy Milk War--0n
Trial
WITH OTHER DEFENDANTS
Tends to Show Move to Get
Monopoly on Milk Bust
ness Here

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. r.
The Perth Amboy milk conspiracy
case continued this morning before
Judge DAILY. Peter Weiner, one of
the chief defendants was put on
stand and cross-examined by Assis-
tant Prosecutor John E. Toolan and
the attorneys representing the de-
PENDANTS.
Weiner testified that fear of cut
ting off his supply of milk, was the
chief reason of placing and lighting
the bomb, the instructions of which
he had received from Bettig, Leid-
er and Weissman, the other defend
ants. They knew that he could not
get milk from the Perth Amboy
Milk and Creamery, he said, and re-
fusal on his part to comply with the
orders of the trio to place the bomb
and thus 'injure the business of
Langweber would result in a serious
injury to himself.
At noon time Weiner was still on
the stand and the case will occupy
most of the days session in the
court.
Weiner has been on the testimony
examination since yesterday after
noon.
The story told by Weiner indicates
that the heads of the Perth Amboy
Milk & Cream company did every
thing in their power to gain a mo-
nopoly on milk in Perth Amboy.
Weiner attributed the bomb plan
to the fact that Langweber pur-
chased his milk from the Clark
dairy and he told the court that he
entered into a conspiracy to put
Langweber out of business. John
Shanko and John Kerhner, employ
es of the company and Abe Bettig
and other members of the company
took part in the conspiracy, the wit
ness declared.
A bomb made by Shanko was
identified by Weiner and then FOL
lowed an explanation by the witness
of the purchase of various mate
rails and the making of h bomb
in the cellar of the milk and cream
company on New Brunswick avenue
The witness also informed the
curt that several small bombs a

line and black powder were used

and the witness explained the part
OF each one interested In the con-
spiracy played in the manufacture.
II was decided that Shanko was
to take the bomb TO hi raiiroao
station and Weiner was to place
same in the milk wagon. The bonn
was delivered at $3.50 o'clock In the
morning as planned and WIENER
and a boy, Joe Kochenski, started
to follow Langweber's wagon with

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sam pie bottle to see what
Swamp-Root. the great kidney, liver and
bladder medicine, will do for them. BY
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. you may receive sam.
pie size bottle by Parcel Post. You can
purchase medium and large size bottles at
all drug observation-disclosures.
