The date of October 26 has been
set for the placing on trial of Harri
son w. Noel, twice committed to asy-
lums and once to the psychopathic
ward of Bellevue Hospital, New
York, and who is charged with the
murder of Raymond Pierce, negro
chauffeur, and Mary DAILY, small
girl. After a sanity hearing with
alienists testifying on both sides
Judge Edwin c. Caffrey of Essex
! county found the twenty-year-old
youth competent to assist in his own
defense. A bitter legal battle to
save him from the chair is expected
when the trial commences.
Although little is being said about
1t, Bergen county voters will at the
general election be asked to vote yes
or no on referendum, which if car
ried would postpone the creation of
the Office of Register of Deeds for
nine years more. Unless the voters
decide to postpone the creation Of
this office it automatically comes into
being on January 1, according to the
law as it now stands on the statute
books. The creation of the office
would likewise mean the erection of
a costly Hall of Records estimated at
$1,250,000 and an annual upkeep of
$125,000 per annum. The work Of
this office has up to this time been
| always handled by the County Clerk
Most of the candidates running for
| county office who have been ap-
preached on the subject are in favor
of the postponement.

1T was particularly hard to maintain
quorum at all times at the meeting
Of the Board of Freeholders last
| week. The cause was radio in an
other room with a loud speaker an
nouncing the result of the first worlds
series game play by play. Never be-

| ficials of seventy municipalities in
the county, the Bergen County Grand
| Jury is understood to have informed
them to instruct their own police de-

| bearing with offending motorists as
conditions warrant. This followed
hundreds OF complaints lodged by
motorists as to the manner in which
they are treated by police officials
and which also included complaints
about the overbearing manner of
small town police court justices, it
being alleged that motorists were
charged with being dfsorderly if they

cious system of costs accruing to the
justice was also commented upon.

get his costs the judge must find the
prisoner guilty.
