with few exceptions are in such
a position that it would be foolish
to expect them to Immediately deed
half their sidewalks to the city.
The city can do nothing until it has
deeds to all the sidewalks along the
street, so that the question rests df-
rectly with the property owners.
1t is expected that other property
owners along the east side of North
Main street will at least investigate
the question of giving part of their
sidewalk area to the cause of a
wider street, and there is a posi-
bility that concerted action will be
obtained by the newly organized

en-, but three are connected with
politics in this county. John Tom
lin, a freeholder; Mrs. Rebecca
Winston, q democratic member oil

a freebooter from AbSecon. Among
the other jurors are Thomas Skin

ton; George Collins, also of Ham

field; William Vanaman, of Pleas
antville; Mrs. Francis Gormley and
Avis Chambers, of Atlantic City;
Howard Edwards and Julian Hill
man, both hotelmen; Charles God
frey and Herman Stockinger, both
prominent business men, and Will
liam Clarke, treasurer of an Allan
tic City bank, as foreman. To say
that these men and women would
violate their oath is a downright
insult"
Sheriff Cimino challenged the
league members to produce evil
dence that there have been miscar-
riages of justice as the result of po-
litical ENHANCEMENT and outside in
fluences. The suggestion that all
political office-holders, city, county
state and nation, as we'll as those
who might be engaged in business
or have family relations with such
persons was characterized as "sil-
ly" in the reply. In the letter he
continues:
Why, to do so, would not know
where to turn for jurors. | could
not possibly know all the relatives
of every person holding a public
office in this county or who their
business associatiates might be, but
if could, would not think so lit
tie of the citizens of Atlantic coun-
ty that | would fear to trust them

would come before mere personal
consideration. How foolish Mr..

is shown when you ask
me Ia even bar national office hold
ers. The only two men / know of
in this county 10 answer this desig-
nation are United States Senator
Walter E. Edge and Congressman
Isaac Bacharach."
Sheriff Cimino, in referring to
these two men, asks what right
Grossman has to question the hon
esty and justice of men who have
been chosen to represent the peo-
PIE of the state at Washington. In
reference to the passage i'll the
Gresham letter which states that
the morals and financial conditions
in Atlantic City are threatened by
the actions of the jurors, he re-
minds Mr.. Grossman that st is my
duty as sheriff of this county 10

matters brought before them &C
cording to law and the evidence

affect the investments of some oil
