was given him at Montgomery, Ala,
when that city was the Confederate
capital.
= President Davis and his cabinet
desired a courier to take message
from Montgomery to Washington,
which since has been disclosed as a
communication to the British min

the job. Attired as a civilian, he
mounted a horse and 20 days later

PUSHESF|GHT
FOR HIS LIFE
Slayer of Two Policemen
Takes Case to Court of
Pard0nS

TRENTON, Sept. 14:-Frank j.
Sage, convicted Jersey City murder
err, who is now in the death house at
the state prison here awaiting cleo
t%rocution, yesterday resumed the
desperate legal battle which has his
life as a forfeit, when he appealed
to the court of errors and appeals to
grant him a new trial for the killing
of Lieutenant John j. Black of the
Jersey City police department and
Patrolman Clarence Weir.
Failing to move the court of err
rors, the highest tribunal in the
state, Sage has but one last
left, an appeal direct to the court of
pardons for a commutation of the
death sentence to life Imprisonment.
Former Judge Richard Doherty.
counsel for Sage, opened the argu-
ment before the errors court. He
was assisted by William P. Cannon.
Opposing these two were County
Prosecutor John Milton, who will
combat the granting of a new trial
to the condemned man, together
with Colonel George T Vickers, as
sistant prosecutor, and Aloysius Nc
Mahon.
In battling for his client, Judge
Doherty declared to the court that
the testimony of the state in its
worst aspect showed a killing, sud-
den, and without malice. Doherty
asserted that one of the leading
features of the S was that a YER
dict of first degree murder was re-
turned by the trial jury without a
shred of evidence showing malice
or generalization.
He argued that in the place of
showing malice, the state 'sedulous-
ly and voluminously'' injected testi-
mony blackening Sage's character
and showing him to be a desperate
of the worst type. To accomplish
this purpose, declared Doherty, the
state put forth the alleged finding of
percussion caps, an extension bit and
a stick of dynamite in the quarters
occupied by Sage on the morning of
May 90, last, when the gun battle
between Sage and the party of po-
licemen took place which resulted
in the killing.
Counsel stated that there was no
proof of ill-will between Sage and
the police officers or that Sage wen
knew that there were men outside
his door just previous to the fight,
or that they were policemen.

MAN KILLED BY
ISLAND TRAIN
Louis MuSterda Struck at
Dongan Hills Crossing Dies
Yesterday

TOTTENVILLE, Sept. 14.-Louis
Musterda, thirty-eight years old, of
247 Older avenue, Dongan Hills, was
instantly killed about $3.50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon when an auto
mobile truck in which he was riding
was struck by an EAST bound Tot
tenyille train on the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Railroad at the Per-
rine lane crossing at DUNCAN Hills.
The automobile was completely
wrecked and was carried about fifty
feet on the pilot of the locomotive.
Musterda's body was thrown to the
side of the track and was badly
broken up, the head being battered
in a terrible condition. One of the
ears of the train had to be taken
off before the train was able to pro-
coed to Tottenville because of parts
OF the automobile being lodged I'M
der it.
There are nc gates at the Perrine
lane crossing and there is nothing
to obscure the view of anyone pass
ing over either the east or west
bound tracks. The train which left
st. George at 2:29 o'clock was in
charge of Conductor Thomas Sulli-
van, of Arthur Kill road Tottenville
and Engineer John Mulcahey, of
Norwood avenue, Clifton. Engineer
Mulcahey said he sounded his
whistle for the crossing and that
Musterda probably misjudged the
distance of the train coming toward
him. The train was brought to a
stop within a short distance of the
crossing where the auto was struck
and the crew went back to the
wreck.
Patrolman Nicholas Deiser, of
Kreischerville, attached to the 66th
precinct took charge of the body un-
til the arrival of Medical Examiner
George Mord, who ordered it remov-
ed to McGinley's morgue at Staple
ton. Musterda was married and re-
sided with his wife and four chill
dren at Dongan Hills.
