  body and keep his death . secret for 50 long.
 sehaeffer said Malan dled from Q blow on tho head of an iron pipe.
 eehaeffer said that there had been no previous quarrel between the two men, and he denied that Besshard had made any objection able advances toward Mrs. Malan ct tho dance, Malan was drunk, and he often went Into rages with no apparent reason when In such con. dition, his brother.in. Jaw said.
 Her Brother Admits It
 How had they been able to keep it a secret9 Sheriff Antone 3. Prince asked
 "The reason ! kept 1t c secret was that l helped put the body away and that has been troubling mo ever since" shaefier replied.
 He said he had not even told either of his two former wives or his present wife about 1t, because the news would have got around"
 It was Q simple matter to deceive tho neighbors, because the nearest of them lived 50 far away, and they had heard the talk about Malan threatening to run away, and as- sumed he had done SO.
 So Bosshard and the brother-in- law simply convinced Mrs. Malan that her husband had deserted her, and all three of them spread that word among the neighbors, schaef- fer said.
 Sheriff Got Confession
 Sheriff Prince said he had heard "rumors," and that he questioned Bosshard and got @ confession.
 Schaeffer said he didn't talk, and would like to know who did" It wasn't Bosshard, he was certain, and nobody else was supposed to know about 1t.
 Both Bosshard and schaeffer ad- mitted the staying with little prompting, the sheriff said. Boss- hard took the sheriff to the well where they had thrown the body, but it had caved in and the body wasn't found.
 Bosshard said that he married Mrs. Malan because he felt q sense of responsibility for her and the child. He is 25 and she is several years his senior.

 Regardless of the verdict, am going to suspend th,J mans license at once," Goodwin said. "The de- tails of the case are not at hand and find it impossible to make a state- Inent in this respect at this time."
 Judge Swift convicted Curry only of drunkenness, drunken driving and reckless driving. The drunken ness conviction was filed and Curry was fined s20O each and given two six-month suspended jail sentences on the other two charges.

BY RAYMOND PITCAIRN
THE NEW JERSEY PLAN

THE NEW JERSEY PLAN
During the period from June Il
to June 10 of the historic year 1887,
members of the Constitutional Con-
vention took part in a discussion
which had profound influence on
the form and the future of our
government.
Briefly, they debated whether the
new Constitution should assume, in
general. the form we know today, or
should cling closely to the earlier
pattern of the Articles of Confedera-
ton. which had proved so unsatis-
factory.
Into that discussion-staged just a
century and a half ago this week in
the red-brick structure of Indepen-
dence Hall-entered many famous
men.
Among them were the calm and
deliberate James Madison, of Vir-
GINA, who would later become our
fourth President; the flashing Alex
ander Hamilton, of New York, who
became our first Secretary of the
Treasury; and the brilliant lawyer,
James Wilson, of Pennsylvania, who
was to serve as one of the original
members of the United States Su-
preme Court.
Like its predecessors, the debate
was marked by an extraordinary
knowledge Of history and of gov
ernment on the part of delegates.
It has been computed that in the
discussions which occupied the early
weeks Of the Convention, references
we're made to the governments of
twenty-five nations. both ancient
and modern, evidencing a thorough
understanding of the problems and
institutions of Greece, Rome, France,
England. Switzerland, Holland and
the then German states.
The debate arose over the intro
duction on June Is of the New
Jersey Plan," by William Paterson,
delegate from and later Governor of
that state, as a substitute for the
earlier discussed Virginia Plan. In
contrast to the Virginia Plan, Pater-
sons proposals sustained the sover-
eighty of the separate states to a
degree which many delegates feared
would weaken rather than strengthen
the federal union.
What many historians regard as
one OF the clearest and most succinct
