Man Charged With Killing
Common Law Wife at Car

CARTERET, Dec. 11.-Funeral

December grand jury which conyen-
ed today. 10th is charged by County
Detective Ferd A. David with MUIR
der of the woman.
Since Sunday 10th has maintained
silence as to his act. With the ex-
ception of his admission to the au-
thorities through a signed state
ment that he had shot the
woman, 10th refused to talk. Neigh
bors, however, say that 10th and his
wife have had periodical arguments,
not only about the note in question
but over things in general. 10th, it
is said was in fear that Mrs. Csaszar
would throw him out of the house at
anytime, dispite the fact that he had
contributed $1,000 for the purchase
of it. The disappearance of the re-
ceipt for the money he gave her
prompted him to believe that the wo-
man was attempting to pave her way
to get Inn out.
Detective Fitzpatrick said this
morning that the daughter-in-law of
the woman who lives in the same
house came downstairs and asked
where Mrs. CsasZar was "She amt
feeling well and is laying on the bed"
10th is reported to have told the

HAVE HEARING
At WOODBRIDGE
AveneI Man Held for Grand
Jury Following Attempted
HoId-up of Trolley Car

WOODBRIDGE Dec. 11-Charged
with attempted robbery and inten-
ton to kill, Michael Melmizek, of
Avenel. was held BIZ Recorder Ash
ley without bail for the grand jury.
following a hearing here yesterday
afternoon. Melmizek is alleged to
have held up a fast line trolley of
the Public Service railroad at the
Railway reformatory switch and at
the point OF a gun unsuccessfully
treiI to relieve the conductor of
the change box containing collected
fares.
Following the entry of a plea of
not guilty by the defendant. George
p. Henry, conductor of the trolley,
was the first witness. He said that
as he %alighted from the a at the
~reformatory a mar who wore a light
cap. dark suit and red handker-
chios over his face ordered him to
put his hands up.
"No sir" Henry told the robber.
II won't" Tho alleged robber then
fired the bullet which passed by
Henry's feet. When Henry was still
insistent in refusing to turn over the
money, the accused man Is said to
have fired another shot. The con
ductlr then made a dash for the car.
He told Recorder Ashley hat he
recognizes the alleged hold-up man,
because he had known him for
nearly five years, and because he
had also worked on the trolley with
him. Motorman Joseph Lain told
the court that he saw the red hand
kerchief over a mans mace, a light
cap and a dark suit, but could not
positively identify Melmizek. Albert
Carnot, supervisor of the Westield
car house who a a passenger on
the car, during his testimony said
that he heard a shot and rshed to
the platform, when he saw a masked
man with a gun pointing to the con-
ductor. The accused reached for
the condtor's change carrier, but
could not separate it quick enough,
thus foiling in the attempt to take
it away.
Mr.. Carnot also told the court hat
Melmizek worked for a short while
as conductor but was discharged be-
cause it was found he was %pinching
fares.
Officer James Walsh told the
court that he went into the home
of Melmezik and there he found the
automatic gun, containing three bull
let's. He went to the derail, the
officer said and found there two
empty bullets which were identical
with those in the gun.

RUNNERS
BEING CURBED
Great Activity Against Snug
glerS at Keyport-PIane is
Used

KEYPORT, Dec. 11-Rum snug
glers along this coast are putting up
a bitter fight in their attempt to
land several thousand cases of liq-
nor. particularly since their bootleg
activities have been hampered by
coast guard cutters which have been
patI olling in the waters. The pro-
posed withdrawal of twelve mile
limit Of the liquor bearers from Mas
a and other wet ports is giving
much concern to the rum runners.
To combat the handicaps, the
bootleggers have induced into SER
vice an aeroplane which operates
along the coast and receives a fee
of $3.50 for each trip, making trips
from big ships way out to the small
err craft. The pilot recently confided
that ove twenty rum ships were
riding at anchor off the coast. He
also said, that while there is a con-
siderable supply of the liquor on the
ships, the possibilities of landing
them are few. If the present watch
is maintained the metropolitan dis
trict may be short of the liquor DUR
ing Christmas.
And because of the inability to
land the rum the prices are soaring
constantly. The high prices are
also due to the fact that the anti
smuggling forces ahoat have been
singing the runners as viciously as
possible. The watch is maintained
not only along the water blu ton the
land as we'll. A squadron of state
troopers were stationed at Freehold
this week. The other bootleg GEN.
tiers such as Long Branch, Keyport,
