The sixth ward finds four Re-

The indictment on which he is be-

year ago a grand jury returned an
indictment charging Ward with the
death, but when he maintained tnat

Peters had attempted to blacknaii
him, the charge was dismissed.
The case was reopened last spring
and Governor Smith ordered an eA-

SCULLY TRIAL
IN j. s. COURT
South Amboy Man Indicted
for Bribery in Cone Case
Faces Federal Jury

TRENTON, Sept, r. Edwin
Seully. of South Amboy, charged
with bribing United States officials,
was placed on trial here today in
federal court before u. S. District
Court Judge Charles Lynch. Scully.
truckman, was indicted some time
ago together with Sam McAlinden of
Middletown township, Monmouth
county. An application for a sever
ance of the Indictment was granted
by the court and Scully was placed
on trial alone.
Scully is charged with offering
Wilbert B. Dey and Milton E.
Swackhammer, federal prohibition
agents. a sum of money as a br1be.
Assistant L. S. District Attorney
Walter D. Van Riper, is prosecuting
the case for the government and
George z. Cutley, of Jersey City,
represents the defendant.
The p. Us cUtiou charges thG. on
May last Scully, who was engaged
by the prohibition department to
truck seized liquor to the various
warehouses, started out with Dey
and Swackhammer on trip. Scully
is alleged to have told the other men
that if they stopped at McAlinden's
place they could shake him down
easily as his place had been raided
and he was easily frightened. The
three men went to the MeALnden
Place. the court was told, and there
Scully told McAlinden he was in a
bad way as Judge Lynch was send
ing up all second offenders" Upon
Scully's suggestion that McAlinden
come through" the prosecution
said, an agreement was reached
whereby McAlnden was to be pro-
tected from arrest for $3.50.
McAlinden gave Scully $50, the
court was told. after which the
agents returned one bottle of the
seized whiskey, retaining the other
bottle as security until the remain

money to Dey who divided it in three
ways, keeping $40, giving Scully SIG

ASK COOPERATION OF LAND OWNERS
ALONG PROPOSED SHIP CANAL TO
MAKE Big WATERWAY REALITY SOON
Commissioner SaunderS S
Against Donating Land
Governor Addresses Com
merce Board Meeting

TRENTON, Sept. 12:-Governor
George S. Silzer appeared personally
at the hearing before the state
board of commerce and navigation
in the assembly chambers yesterday
afternoon and asked the cooperation
of the property owners along the
route of the proposed ship canal
from Morgan to the Delaware river
In making the contemplated i'm
proyement a reality.
Following addresses made by the
governor and others to property
owners along the right of way of the
proposed New Jersey Ship Canal,
in which was depicted in roseate
terms the benefits which would ac-
crue to owners giving all or part of
their properties to the state for the
canal, Commissioner w. L. Saunders.
of the Board of Commerce and Nav
igation, arose in the meeting and de-
clared the whole scheme was i'm
practicable.
Commissioner Saunders asserted it
was useless to expect property hold
ers to relinquish their property for
the canal. He declared the majority
of the $50 owners present in the as
sembly chamber where the meeting
took place were small property hold
ers and that they could not be ex-
pected to respond to the appeal to
give their lands for the project.
Mr.. Saunders further declared
that If he himself owned any proper
ty along the right of way he would
hold it until he saw daylight" and
until he knew with reasonable ac-
: curacy what he was getting in re-
turn.
Abiding to the promises of prop
erty owners that they would "co-op-
crate" Saunders. declared that the
term meant nothing.
The board member asserted that
the only practicable plan was to APP
point a commission to visit property
owners and to allocate damages for
property taken.
The address of Mr.. Saunders was
the only rift in the harmony of the
convention, because if any property
to the plan, they were loath to ex-
press it.
While Saunders was hostile to the
scheme of donating" the right of
way, alleging it to be workable,
he declared that the canal itself was
a desirable acquisition for New Jer-
sey. He pointed out that the same
price used to transport the same
amount of freight by wagon from
Jersey City to New York, by the
canal would transport the same
freight from New York to Washing
ton and back again.

CONDITION OF WOULD Be

An ex-Ray has disclosed that the
