WARD ATTORNEY ASKS THAT
INDICTMENT Be DISMISSED
fcontinned trem paee ll

Mr.. Rabenold declared that Mum
.dia's testimony was "a deliberate at
tempt by the attorney general to
.blacken the character of this defen-
|dant."
The lawyer said that Mundia's tes-
timony that he had seen Ward with
Peters in a cabaret before May 16
had been too much for the foreman
of the grand jury, who was of Scotch
leaning" and quoted the foreman as
saying:
do you realize that you are be-
fore the extraordinary grand jury
and that it is a crime not to tell the
truth?"
Continuing, Mn. Rabenold said:
I'VE say that the attorney general
knew that story before Mundia went
into the grand jury room and that
he knew or should have known that
the story was false. The attorney
general had every emu of inquiry.
He has known or should have known
tai condition.
"As low as this witness Mundia is
in the scale of decency, he was not
low enough to mention these things
about Ward voluntarily. 1t took the
deputy attorney general to think of
them.
but the attorney general himself
was not to be outdone. Sherman
himself asked vile questions which
have no relative value to the crime.
Any man should be ashamed to ask
such questions"

PRIMARY FIGHT

ination for Mayor

METUCHEN, Aug. 30.-The desig-
nation of Councilman Luther e. Rid
die, Jr., as Republican choice for
the mayoralty office at the Repub-
lican organization meeting here last
night gave signs of an intense bat
tie at the primaries between Mr..
Riddle and Aylin Pierson. Mr.. Pier
son is circulating his petitions for the
office of mayor. The designation of
Mr.. Riddle came more or less as a
surprise, as it was generally antici-
pated that Mr.. Pierson will be given
the opportunity to rule the borough
as mayor. The Republicans also
designated last night Reginald b.
|Crowell and William e. Liddle for
the councilmanic offices. Should
Councilman Riddle be successful in
winning the mayoralty office a third
council post win be open.
The Republican Club elected the
following officers for the year: Luz
Their e. Riddle, ST., president; Mrs.
Phineas Jones and George Anderson
vice-presidents; Charles b. Carman,
secretary and William A. Schultz
treasurer.

The police are investigating the
reported theft of a Dodge truck
bearing n. J. license X56.415 from
the rear of the baking establishment
of Charles Eisner, of 423 Division
street, about 1925 o'clock this morn
ing. The truck was reported found,
less than two hours after its loss was
made known.
Lieutenant Andrew Jensen re-
ceived the report of the theft from T..
Gutowski, a workman for the baker.
Gutowski informed the lieutenant
that a large yellow truck was taken
from the Division street backyard.
AS the owner was in Long Branch,
Gutowski did not at first know the
name of the truck license number.
The theft was reported to the war
den's office at New Brunswick and
the patrolmen on beat. Later Gu
towski called headquarters and in
formed the police that the truck was
a Dodge make, and also furnished
the license number. At 5 o'clock
this morning, Gutowski recovered
the truck on Grant street.
