cision has for the third time re-

no error of the trial justice in The

Three Years
Passed Bad Check In Lambertville
Store

William G. Wood, who on Octo-
Der 31st passed bad check in Lam
bertville on which was forged the
name of Grover C. Williamson, was
sentenced by Judge Robbins at
Pennington on Tuesday of last week
to serve from one to three years in
State Prison. Wood, who gave his
home as Brooklyn, N. Y, was ac-
companied at the time the check
was passed by another man who
was not apprehended.
His name was said by Wood to be
"Swede" Gleason. Following the
cashing of the check Gleason pre-
ceeded Wood to Trenton, and was
to meet him at the Clinton st. De-
pot. Wood was taken from a Tren-
ton bus, and Constable Rosso phoned
the railroad detective on duty at the
Clinton st. Station, giving a descr:p-
tion of Gleason, and asking that he
he held until he could get down. But
Gleason became suspicious of the
detectives interest, and eluded him.

Traffic Guide
Proves Satisfactory
Electric Operation Only Few Cents
A Day

Lambertville-The traffic sienal at
Bridge and Union streets IS proving
highly satisfactory in the test it
has been given for the past few
weeks. The only criticism that has
been justly made of it is that it is
suspended too nigh for the average
driver to see without strain. This
is to be corrected. The preser.
height is 16 feet, and II will be
lowered to IA feet wnicn is the
limit allowed by law.
1t has been erronecusly reported
that the cost of this traffic signal
is $500. The correct cost is 1895,
and this includes installation COM
plete. AS one man has well said,
even if the signal prevents one bad
smash-up it will be well worth the
money.
Already there have been a num-
Der of minor accidents at the Bridge
and Union corner, and the continued
increase of traffic is making the
corner more dangerous every day.
1t is hoped that the city will be
financially able to install at least
two more of the guides-one ut
Bridge and Main, and another at
York and Main. These corners catch
all the through traffic, and with the
new concrete road being built to
Pennington, it means increased traf-
fic on the York Road between Phila-
delphia and New York.
The New Jersey Power & Light
Company is working out schedule
of cost in operating the lights in
the signal. There are twelve globes
in each of them-three facing each
street intersection. These are now
50-watt globes, but the electric COM
pany says that 25-watt globes are
sufficiently strong, and by continual
use "a hours day the cost will be
very light.
In the meantime drivers are eau
toned to observe the signals, and
it is expected that if the additional
lights are installed an ordinance
will have to be introduced provid-
ing regulations for drivers and fines
for their violations.

FAHERTY FREED
BY TRIAL JURY
Continued from first page)
JUSTICE MATHEWS MAKES

STARTLING CHARGE
As soon as the jury was sworn in
Justice Mathews, of Trenton, before
whom the first charge was tried,
was called as the first witness. He
created mild sensation by making
the charge that Trooper Haussling
had said to him on October Both
that he didn't have enough on Fa-
herty to convict him in Mercer
County, and that he was going to
prefer charges against him in Hun
terdon County where he could have
him tried before a Ku Klux justice.
This testimony was substantiated
by the next witness, Harry G. jeff
ries, whose car had been overturned
in the accident out of which the case
grew. He said he was in Justice
Mathews office when Haussling made
the statement. Haussling strenuously
denied having made the statement,
and came in for severe grilling by
Fahertys' counsel. They brought it
out that the Trooper had blundered
in the whole matter, and had been
trying to "cover up" in the second
charge preferred against Faherty.
He admitted under cross-examina-
ton that he didn't even know where
the county line lay between Mercer
and Hunterdon, although a promis-
cuous sign stands at that point be-
side the road. He could not even
identify the big brick house which
stands beside the road at that point
just within the Hunterdon line.
In the cross-examination of JUS
tice Mathews it was brought out
that when the trial was held in his
court, at which time Faherty was
acquitted, that not a single witness
testified that Faherty was drunk in
Mercer County. He recounted the
disappearance of Trooper Hausslng
from his court when the case was
being tried, and stated it as his
conviction that Faherty's acquittal
was due to the fact that the prosec-
cution did not produce any evil
dence
Edward Barry, of Wilburtha, tes-
tilted for the defence that on the
night of the accident he saw Fa-
herty driving on the River Road at
a moderate rate of speed, and later
happened on the scene when the ar
rest was made. Martin Dunn, of
Trenton, and Thomas F. Kilroy, of
Lambertville, also testified for the
defense.
The jury was out only six min
utes and returned verdict that the
charge for which he was being held
the second time, and that under the
Constitution he could not be placed
in jeopardy again for the same of
fense.
Following the trial Justice Smith
denied being member of the Ku
KluX Klan, and could see no reason
when he should be suspected of be-
ing susceptible to miscarry jus
tice because of any Klan sympath-
les 81 never was or am now mem.
