order visited three places. two bun
galows along the Cheeseman's creek
near the railroad and the Green Acre
Tea Room In each place liouor was
found, a small quantity being seized
in the tea room.
The agents first visited the Green
Acre Tea Room. owned by Joseph
Dehmer. and after a thorough search
of the place seized several bottles Of
whiskey. The officers then moved
to the bungalows along the chees-
quake creek where the Zig supply
was taken.
In the entire collection taken from
the bungalows there were twenty
one cases of assorted whiskey. sixty
cases of alcohol. and tWenty-four
bottles of assorted whiskey in four
sacks. This was all loaded on light

crowd had gathered. No arrests were
made by the agents on Tuesday, but
following the usual course United
States marshals are expected here in
the near future to have the prisoners
taken before a commissioner.
The bungalows at Morgan have
been a source of continual com.

Jury Out Only 2 Minutes in
AveneI Case Following
Sensational Trial
TRAPPED; GUN FIGHT
TRAPPED; GUN FIGHT
Frame Up Charge Killed by
Assistant Prosecutor in
Questioning Witnesses

NEW BRUNSWICK. Oct. 9--After
deliberat4g only twenty minutes the
jury before Judge John p. Kirkpat-
rick rendered a verdict of guilty
against the three defendants. John f.
Hull of Teanick, Thomas Price of
Union, and George Zampelli of New
ark, who wre charged with robbing
a freight train at Avenel on the
morning of May 13, but trapped by
a squad or railroad and police OH
GERS as they were unloading the mer-
chandise from the freight car into
a waiting truck.
The trial occupied a whole day.
While George e. Cutley, attorney
for the defendants persisted that the
robbery was preafanged by police
officers to trap Hull, nothing to sub
stantiate his contentious was offered
Witness after witness called by the
state and examined by Assistant
Prosecutor John e. Toolan, testified
that the waybill on the freight car
was changed, shipped to Avene1 with
the express purpose of robbing Its
contents.
Hull contended that a yardmaster
in Jersey City, where he was en-
piOyeu otHL ilitil ~ RfCiASA Nh e>~>
morning of the robbery, that he took
q train to Railway and then walked
to the Avenel station. and he went
there for the purpose of rectifying
a mistake in despatcning a ear. A
railway police officer testified that
Hull told him at the hospital that
he came to Avenel for the purpose
of buying a house.
An interesting feature of the trial
developed when all the three de-
PENDANTS denied knowing one an
other. Zampelli said that he met
Hull for the first time when he was
placed with him In the county Jail
Price also said that he never saw
Zampelli or Hull until he was dis
charged from the Railway hospital
for confinement in the county jail
on the robbery charge.
Scores of shots were fired by the
officers when they trapped the al
legged bandits. Price suffered most
as he according to his own admit
tance, had fourteen bullets in his
neck when he became conscious
Hull was shot in the lung. Zampelli
escaped the flying bullets when he
jumped inside the freight car and
remained in hiding until the firing
was over.

BATTLE TODAY
At WASHINGTON
Arthur Nehf and Tom Zachary
Opposing Moundsmen in
Worlds Series Tilt

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The bat
teries for today's game of the world
series were announced as Nehf and
Gowdy for New York, and Zachary
and Ruel for Washington. This is
the second start in the series for
both, pitchers.
The Senator'S now facing heavy
odds in their valiant fight for their
first baseball championship, came
back home today for the sixth battle
of the 1924 world series.
Despite two defeats in their three
games at New York, the damaging
loss of Roger Peckinpaugh. star
shortstop, and the heartbreaking
setback yesterday for their twirling
ace, Walter johnson, the Senator'S
are still in a fighting mood.
Victory today for the Giants, who
hold a three to two edge, will clinch
iMcGraw's fourth diamond crown, but
a comeback by Washington will
force the issue to the limit of seven
games in a final struggle here to-
morrow.
Bucky Harris, fighting manager of
the Senators, is banking upon Zach
airy and his slow southpaw curves to
stop the Giants this afternoon. Al
though the National leaguers drove
him from the box in the ninth in
ming of the second game, he pitched
strongly for the most part.
Were far from discouraged, de-
clared Harris as he led his squad
on the field shortly before noon for
brisk workout and batting prac-
| tice in which Nick Altrock, desert
ing his clown act for serious busi-
ness, served them up.
