WOMAN FACES BIGAMY'
CHARGE BEFORE COURT
Husband No. 2 Declares
She Had TlDo Hus-

Charged with bigamy by her hus.
band, Mrs. Thomas Jefferson, II
Cambria avenue, was held under
$500 bail for the grand jury,
when she appeared before Police
Recorder william B. Stephens
Wednesday night.
Jefferson, according to the
Recorder, produced certificates in
court showing that Mrs. Jefferson
was married to man named
Richard Reynolds, Dec. Z, 1916. at
Philadelphia, and the second show
ing that she was married to Jeffer-
son June %. 1923, at Matawan.
Mrs. Jefferson pleaded not guilty
to the charges, but, according to
Recorder Stephens, admitted to him
that she had married both men.
This is the first case that has ever
been tried in the police court here
where a woman has faced d similar
charge.
Several days ago the woman was
acquitted by Judge William H.
Smathers on charge Of maintain
ing a disorderly house, but was
held under bail for the grand jury
when testimony in the case showed
that liquor had been purchased at
her residence in this city. The
latter charges are the result of a
raid conducted on her home by
Chief of Police Mayor several
months ago.

Stephens Wants

Police Recorder Believes La
Dor Best Means of Empty

AGREES WITH SHERIFF
AND RESORT RECORDER
Declares Idleness While in the
County Institution an En-
enlargement to Return -
Says Prisoners Don't Care

Police Recorder William B.
Stephens believes that the use of
county prisoners for work on a
county farm, or in the building of
county roads, is one sure means
of emptying the county jail.
In an interview yesterday, he
declared that as long as prisoners
were sent to Mays Landing with
nothing to do, many of them would
not care whether they went to jail
Or not, knowing that would have
the length of their term to bum"
at the county seat.
Should Be Put To Work.
'The use of county prisoners for
work on roads or county farm
would help empty our jail quicker
than anything else / know of" the
Recorder stated, s'hey defy you
to send them to Jail as it is. and
then, what can we do"
However, few are sent to the
county seat from this court. Since
| have taken the office of Police
Recorder, / have endeavored to use
my head in determining when the
one arraigned before me should or
should not be sent to jail"
Agrees With corio.
Commenting on Recorder Corio's,
of Atlantic City, statement that
legalized sale of light wines and
beers would reduce the number of
drunks today. and that The pres
ent stuff started many fighting as
soon as they had taken mouthful
Of it. the local Recorder fully
agreed with the Atlantic City
official.
He also said that he realized
that every prisoner he sent to Mays
Landing meant omre money out of
his, and every other taxpayers,
pocket, and for that reason tried
to mend matters by making
arrangements other than the send
ing of those arraigned before him
up for lack of bail, and other
offences where the line could be
drawn. He had endeavored to fix
bail that it would be within reach
of defendants held for the grand
jury for sometime, although the
law on this matter is fixed in a
number of cases which have been
tried before him.
Could Use Farm.
Recorder Stephens was also of
the opinion that the farm at North
field, or another which could be
purchased, should be used. DR..
Edwin H. Coward, superintendent
of the county almshouse, has
pointed out that the county owns
a $50 acre farm in Nor thfield where
prisoners might earn their keep.
Sheriff James Cimino has stated
that he will personally appear be-
fore the Board of Freeholders at
their next meeting and request
that some means be taken where
by the prisoners can be put to
work, and earn their keep.

NEW ORLEANS, May II. (P)- The levees at Bayou Des Glaises, ITO miles from New Orleans, are expect ed to collapse any time allowing a rush of muddy water across the "su- gar bowl" of Louisiana, where most of the domestic cane is grown. Should a crevasse occur it is believed that much of the strain on levees along the Mississippi will be relieved, minimiz- ing the danger of an additional break along that line. A collapse, however, would inundate thousands of acres of the most fertile soil in the State and flood many sugar houses, driving ad- ditional thousands from their homes.
