PROBE Of AUTO
WRECK GOES ON
FreehoIders to Take up
Sheriff's Car Matter at
Meeting Tomorrow

NEW BRUNSWICK, March 21.-
The Board of F'reeholders at their
regular meeting tomorrow are ex-
pected to continue their investiga-
ton of the facts in connection with
the wrecking of one of the county
cars assigned to the sheriff's office.
While some believe that the county
fathers will delve into the situation
a bit deeper, Republican followers
are of the opinion that complete
whitewash of the fight which origi-
mated two weeks ago when Sheriff
Elmer z. Wyckoff was called before
the board to give complete data as
to the incidents, is to be effected.
It is known that County Solicitor
Frederick T. Richardson has already
filed with the board a detailed re-
port of the affair together with GER
tain recommendations So far the
report has not been made public
and probably may never be, as sem
sational charges are said to be in
cluded in Solicitor Richardson's
papers.
In view of the fact that the squab-
BILE will effect the Republican party
a general feeling prevails that by
tomorrow the county fathers viii!
probably decide to eliminate the con-
troversy over the car.

Is Found Guilty of Murder in

Court
CRAP GAME QUARREL

FREEHOLD, March 21.-Found
guilty by jury before Justice Sam
uel Kalisch yesterday afternoon Of,
murder in the second degree, Re-
mond Ojetta, thirty-five years OLD
colored, was sentenced to fifteen to
thirty. years in state prison at hard
labor. Ojetta shot and killed Rich

ing a quarrel over crap game In

the night of September 2. last.
At the trial, which consumed the
better part of two days, it was testi-
fed that Jackson was advancing to-
ward Ojetta with a club in his hand
when Ojetta shot three times, one
OF the bullets entering his left eye
and penetrating the brain. the other
two entering the left hip and left
arm. Ojetta said that he knew that
"Peacllie' had a bad reputation and,
fearing for his life when jackson
approached him with club he drew
his revolver and fired to save his own
life. Prosecutor Sexton claimed ami
Justice Kalisch practically charged
that Oietta had ample opportunity
to escape through side door of
the pool room and was not justified
in standing his ground and taking
Jackson's life. The club which
jackson carried was a, night stick
given him while acting as night
watchman over road building ma
chinery in the vicinity. He left his
post and went to the pool room bent
on making trouble two witnesses
testifying to having heard him say
that he was going down land run
them niggers out the pool room"
State and defense witnesses were
agreed that almost as soon as Jack
son entered the pool room he start
ed trouble. Also it was admitted
that Oietta, when he entered the
pool room, sometime prior to
Jackson's appearance, he took a re-
volver from his pocket and laid it on
the pool table and only replaced 1t
in his pocket when commanded so
to do by the proprietor. Ojetta ad-
mitted having served time in prison
for shooting a man.

WATER BILLS
To GET ACTION
indications Are That Meas
sures Will Take Center OF
Stage at Trenton

TRENTON, March 2l.--The leg
lSlature reconveneS here this alter
noon for the purpose OF going over
the Vetoes Of Governor Silzer on the
bills which it sent to him last week.
While this is the program mapped
out, with final adjournment set for
Friday night, it is not without the
realm of possibility that some effort
may be made in the final hours of
the 1928 lawmakiug session to get
across some of tho legislation which
failed last week. TIE present leg
islature's work has been traught
with so many twists and turns that
unusual happenings in the last days
would not be surprising.
For instance, the water bills, bad
" wanted by Passaic county and the
Edge spring primary bill, both OF
which went down to defeat in the
rush of last weeks closing session OF
actual lawmaking, nigh. again take
the cen. er of the stage, 1t was these
measures. and the dickers and
rumors of bad faith concerning the
dickers over them, that caused the
blow-up in the assembly early Sat-
urday morning Of last week, when
Majority Leader Corjo of Atlantic,
was temporarily deL osed from his
position and a motion to recess
rassed over his kead. Therefore,
new efforts to have these bills
passed would come as wholly un-
expected moves.
But the program this week is to
consider the vetoes and the Repub-
lcan majority's announced intention
is this. 1t is expected, of COURSE
that such of the measures that Mr.,
Il ice ny which
majority wants TO see become laws
will be passed over the head Of his
excellency. Mr.. Si.zer worked hard
all this week and late into last night
dispos:ng of the hundred and odd
number of various measures still
pending before him, Those vetoed
will go back to the lawmakers today
AS a result of opposition presented
to them here yesterday at a public
hearing given by Mr.. Siizer, it is an
ticipated that he may refuse to sign
the Pascoe water bills, which are OF
interest to the people of Union, Mid
dlesex and Somerset counties. For
mer Mayor Leighton Calkins, as
counsel for the conference of twenty
six municipalities in these three
| counties, urged the signing Of the
| two acts. One of the measures per-
/ mits two or more municipalities tc
enter into a contract with either the
| Elizabethtown Water Company, the
! Middlesex Water Company. Plain
| f1eld-Union Water Company, or any
of the other concerns in the territory
affected for the obtaining of supply
or an additional cupply to that al
ready being received. The other
measure provides for joint .munici
! pal ownership of the water plants
owned by any of the affected com
Ipanies, acquiring them either by pur
chase or condemnation.
The first measure is known al
House No. 30S and it carries a pro
vision that when the municipalities
contract with the water companie
for supplies it may be done at rate
fixed without the authority of tn
Public Utility Commission.
