to stop. When George was notified
that he was under arrest, he i'm
mediately started to fight and before
ne had finished the whole police de-
partment had been called on to sub

is many a good tune left in an old
Violin.
After being quieted down he was
searched and a pint bottle of "Pre-
ferred Stock" of high voltage was
found in his coat pocket, and i'm
mediately transferred to the coat of
Capt. Johnson, but George was only
half licked, for as he was being led
to the City Hall he kicked the pock-
ct Of Johnson and the evidence fell
to the cement sidewalk and was
destroyed.
When arranged before Mayor
Thomas Mooney, he was severity re-
premanded and sentenced to 6
months in the county Jail.

SOLDIER INDICTED
FOR CAMP MURDER

y Campbell H. Donoho, of Louis
vile, KY, soldier of Camp Dix,
was indicted Wednesday, by the Bur-
hngton county grand jury for the
murder of James P. Cody.
Louis Coran, of Philadelphia, lit
ney driver who was arrested last
week with Donoho by Detective Ellis
Parker, was not indicted for
murder as had been expected. In
stead it was stated that evidence
obtained after the arrest pointed to
Donoho's having committed the MUIR
der single-handed.
Coran was indicted for robbery
howAver. Evidence presented to the
grand jury tended to show that Dom
Ohio and Coran robbed Cody while
Cody was in Coran's bus on the
Wrightstown- Pointville road, Sept
ember s, and that later after Coran
had left the machine, Donoho re-
turned and murdered Cody i'm order
to cover up the original crime.
Dcnoho was also indicted for
robbery as we'll as murder.
When Judge Lloyd called the
grand jury back in secret session
Saturday rurnors were circulated
that the board of freeholders was to
be investigated, but failure Of the
grand jury to report any such ac-
ton yesterday is taken to indicate
that the rumors were unfounded.

term of the Burlington County
Courts was called to the court house
at Mount Holly Saturday morning
and Judge Lloyd was there to give
them instructions. The public was
not admitted.

in a stir over this action because of
recent rumors that sweeping probe

session, on the eve of election con-
siderable weight is carried in these
rumors according to many residents
who appear to have an mixing that
something is about to happen to
open the eyes of tax payers of the

their departments, as there have
been a number of near scandals re-
Gently reported regarding county af-

these are the basis for the investiga-

With mind on home, and not te

Glad to stay home and sew.
