HAROLD DROPS CASE
OF MITCHELL ATTACK
County Chief Believes New
Story Will Result If
Boy Rests

The investigation of the alleged
attack last Wednesday night upon
Ernest Mitchell, Z, of Linwood, will
be dropped. at least for the time
being, Chief of County Detectives
Harold announced yesterday.
There were so many discrepancies
in the boys story that it was i'm
possible to proceed, he said. after
questioning the boy and his parents
in the prosecutors office.
1t is believed that Mitchell is
suffering from Authorizations and
his stories, which are conflicting,
are not to be taken seriously. A
thorough examination at the city
hospital after the alleged attack,
failed to reveal any injuries sui
fered when he was criminally as
saulted, as he says by foreign
looking man driving coupe with
red disc wheels
The boy yesterday, according to
Harold, seemed to be keyed up
and he believes that with a few
days rest a new story will result.

Act Tomorrow
PASSED FIRST READING

Public hearing on an ordinance
which was introduced at the las
meeting of Absecon City Council
and which provides for the purch
ase of six cylinder fire engine
will feature special meeting o.
that body tomorrow night.
The new ordinance, which sup
plants the present measure, was in
troduced because of a technical If
regularity. Councilman Crawford
Townsend, in explaining its pass
age, declared that City Treasurer
Smith had not filed the bill of debt
with the city clerk, which should
have been done to make passage
Of the ordinance legal.
Assertions that steps were taken

were denied today. 1t was pointed
out that any opponents Of the pres.
ent ordinance would have plenty
Of chance to talk on it at the pub
lie hearing which will be held in
the Council Chambers tomorrow
night.
Councilmen, however, are prepar
ed to pass the bill on its second
and then third and final readings,
when they meet tomorrow night
believing that the greater majority
of the taxpayers in Absecon are
backing them in the purchase of
the new fire equipment

Township Scene
CORONER PARSELS TO
HAVE INQUEST SOON
Prepares to Select Jury-Resi-
dents of Township Point
Out Need of Making Cross
ing Safer

Steps to select a Coroner's jury
to investigate an accident which
took the lives of two people Sun
day night when their machine was
struck by Reading train at Fire
road crossing, near this city, in
Egg Harbor township. were being
taken today by Coroner George
Parsels.
The two, William A. Diston, 3S
years old, mechanic, living at 20
North Georgia avenue. Atlantic
City, and Miss Sarah Strickland,
"A, of Oceanville, were instantly
killed about $40 o'clock Sunday
night.
The machine in which they were
riding was struck in the center and
dragged for yards along the tracks.
1t was demolished. T'rainmen To-
Gated the bodies after search and
.hey We're tSkeE 20 Atlantic City.
Listens body was identified about
a half hour after it was taken to
the morgue. The woman. who was
decapitated, was not identified I'M
til yesterday.
Witnesses say that drivers OF
machines can see the tracks at the
crossing in either direction, and
fail to account for the accident.
Residents of the township. how
ever. declare the crossing to be
dangerous. pointing out that it is
protected neither by gates nor
lights. They theorize that the cou-
pie did not know they were about
to cross the tracks until it was
too late.
According to William A. McMa-
hon. member of the Egg Harbor
Township Committee, the matter of
protection at this point has been
taken up with the Reading Rail
road by a committee composed OF
John Blackman, William P. Thomp-
son and himself. No action, he de-
cIares, resulted.
Fire road" said Mcmahon, "is
much in use now, and the neces-
sity of some protection at this point
where it is crossed by the Reading
tracks is imperative" The matter
has also been brought to the notice
of the Utility commission, it is
claimed.
Sunday nights accident also
brought out the fact that Liston
was the second boarder from the
Georgia avenue address to be killed
by Reading train. James B. Post,
a friend of the man. was killed last
year at Missouri and Baltic ave-
nues when car in which he was
riding was struck.

WHAT THE SPIDER MEANT

A subscriber to a paper once
edited by Mark Twain wrote
him, stating he had found a
spider in his paper and wanted
to know if it meant good or
bad luck, says The Outlook.
Mark replied:
"Old Subscriber: Finding a
spider in your paper was neither
good luck nor bad luck for you.
The spider was merely looking
over our paper to see which
mechant is not advertising, so
that he can go to that store,
spin his web across the door,
and live a life of undisturbed
peace afterwards.
