.| morning, however, she “can’t Live Wifll That Woman,” Prisoner Informs Judge ‘Absolutely denying any knowledge as to how his wife received flesh dis- colorations, alleged to be due to his brutal treatment Saturday night and yesterday, Samuel Gorman of 46 Lawlor street pleaded for a two ‘week’s continuance to locate the one responsible, when arraigned on as- sault charges before Judge James T. Meskill in police court today. Urged by Prosecuting Attorney George W. Klett to be frank and ‘tell the exact details of the ' alleged rumpus, he stuck to the ‘contention that he daid not hit his wife, although witnesses testified as to a disturbance and Motorcycle Policeman William P. Hayes testified the woman’s face was disfigured and bleeding when he was called to the house on complaint y terday miorning. Connected with contentions, Gorman said “I prefer Jail, I can’t live with that woman and I might as well be injjail as to have to put up with present conditions.” Self defense was also introduced by him as a defense, if he did assault her, his contention being she took a chair to'him as a result of constrained feelings in the household because he came home undef the . influence of liquor Saturday night. Incredulity of the self defense claim was openly ex- pressed by court attendants, the ac- cused being husky in build while his wife 1isfrail, nervous and appearing caréeworn' in expression. “I know better,” commented Judge Meskill, when the accused waxed strenuous in his denial of laying vio- fent hands on his ' frail appearing wife. Mrs. Gorman said the accused came home Saturday night under the influence of liquor but she had for- given him for his departure from the straight narrow paths. The next said, while there was company present, he be came- greatly peeved brutally as- sauited her. She pe: ed in a con- :| tention of ignorance as'to the cause June 25.—Rev.

Bubjecting the ‘ac- cused to. a severe reprimand, Judge Meskill imposed a jail sentence of 30 days with suspended judgment during the satisfactory reports of Prchation Officer Edward C. Connolly. Slasher Fined $35 and Costs. Pleading guilty to having severely slashed Arthur Cardoza, a fellow sub- Ject of former King Manuel of Portu- gal and companion workman at the Shuttle ‘Meadow Golf. club grounds, Saturday night with-a ‘knife in an argument over proper hours of retir- ing and excessive amount of noise, Munuel Gmmea was fined $85 and ?@ui‘ accused. pleaded’ he was aly druni and rerembered 1itde of the ‘happeninge.: ' He denied ability to designate whethar a knife or razor, both being submitted in evidence, was used in the assault. Tbe victim testi- fled he had tried to quiet Goames, only to be assaulted with the knife, his left arm bieng ripped open from shoulder to elbow, an ugly gash be- ing inflicted anteriorly on the arm. He wistied police headquarters about 0 | yesterday morning, there. being: pro- fuse hemorrhage and the arm hang- ing limply by his side. Surgical at- tention was given. - Patrol Attendant Gustav Hellbers,. Policeman Charles F. Anderson and’ Michae]l - Brophy were sent out and mede the arrest. The extra ent was made as the complainant explained the wanted mén usually slept with a revolver and knife near him. The accused con- tended he acted in self defense as he ‘was attacked and had his shirt badly tokn.: He contended a game of cards started the trouble. Minor Had Liquor Aplenty. Despite 'rigid 'cross-examination as to where he procured liquor, Steve Zaduriski, aged 20 years, of 370 Elm street, persisted in a plea of ig- norance, when arraigned for intoxi- cation. Prosecuting Attorney Kilett made an unsucpessful attempt to pry forth admissions as'to the location of the saloon where drinks of beer and half & pint of gin, the latter found & 'pocket, -were bought. The ac- cused sald he did not know the name ©0f the saloon or the number, but that it is:located on Park street. He d he had no trouble in buying the liquo: P Dennis Nealon made thée Bernard Miller of 345 Arch street, said by the poMce to have caused \considerable trouble recently Satur- day nights for patrolmen on the beat, was fined $5 and costs for breach of the peace and resistance to Policeman Meddrick Perry. Policeman. Perry testified the -aocused caused a dis- turbance on Locust street ‘early yes- terday morning, called his captor vile names and dared him to make an ar- rest. The arrest waa made, Miller landing at police headquarters -with “nippers” keeping him quiet. Bernard Gaffney, & passerby, was summoned into service by Policeman Perry and testified this morning. But for the onrush of a gang, Policeman Perry testified, Miller would have been but one of several arraigned. A syste- matic attempt was made to rescue the prisoner, it being testified one un- identified person eeised the police- man by the while another at- tempted to put his night stick out of commission. This, it was intimated in the testimony, prevented more than Miller being placed under arrest. Gaffney contended that the darkness of surroundings preventel his seeing all of Policeman Perry’s assaflants, and he admitted late arrival caused him to be unaware of the situation of the officer. Controversy as to responsibility rel- ative to cleaning of a mutually-used stalirway and hall at 123 North street last Friday resulted in the arraign- ment of Mrs. Philamena * Serra for assault upon.Mrs. Massearenna Tan- namorelll, resident of the apartment across the hall.

Wallstein (No.<2 in the pictures) brought admissions that Acting Police Captain Alonzo Cooper (No. 4 in pictures,) directly in charge of the Ruth Cruger search, early ac- cepted the “voluntary departure the- ory’ and did not really suspect Al- fredo Cocchli until the girl's body was found on June 16.—Even when informed of an attack upon another woman, Cooper ordered no specific investigation ‘as to the Italian. He and. his men_ held that “Ruth ¥ went | away in & taxi.” 2 —Mrs. Cocchl charged that she had been prevented at the Harlem pended with advice that K Buropean methods of settling disputes by physi- cal force are not countenanced in this country.

This much is made certain by officials here who have been connected with the registration and the preparation of regulations under which the million- man army will be conscripted for sérvice and the exemptions that will be in force in selecting the 625,000 men from the first call. 3 Unfortunately rumors have gone the rounds that because certain men are engaged in agricultural or indus- .| trial pursuits, or because they are married, they will be exempted. From those high in authority it is learned that the president will make no such sweeping exemptions .in the regula- tions which he is considering. Members of the.clexgy and state and Federal officers, hawever, will be exempted from the.first call unless they desire to be taken for service. Even then they will be compelled to pass an examination at the ‘hands of the local exemptions board to see ‘whether' they can be spared from their present occupation. A number of stories have come to the attention of draft officials that because of the apparent shortage of men engaged in certain occupations, that class of men would not be counted’ in the draft. Amgng these is the report that no men engaged in the banking business would be called. This . report 1s untrue. Bankers, farmers and ather classes, with the general exception of clergy, . soldiers and public officials, are equally liable | to service. All matters of class | wil be' governed primarily by exemptions the i communities in which they exist and | will be passed upon by boards of re- view. In passing upon the lability of married men for service, the boards of review will take into account the dependency of the wife and family upon him. * In cases where the gov- ernment 18 convinced that the family of any man called for service would thereby be thrown upon the charity of Uncle Sam for support, the prob- abilitles are that the man will be ecxempted. But a true dependence { must be shown. One of the president’s reasons for refusing to create wideapread ex- emptions in any given occupation is to prevent “slackers’ from deserting their present employment and sceking " birthday on April 4th last, died th a . .5.—Cocchi, under arrést in Bolog- na, l;fly. confessed that he murdered the York High school girl.

No.'1 is a new photograph of Mrs. Grace Humiston, the woman lawyer, ‘whose efforts led to the discovery of Ruth Cruger’'s body- work that will enable them to aveld service. The boards will take sum- mary, action on evidence of = such slacking. Only the formal proclamation of President Wilson is necessary to etart the ‘machine which is to select the first 635,000 men of the new national army, ‘who are expected to go into training camps about Sept. 1. In view of the success of registra- tion on June 5, administration offi- cials confidently expect to ses the men registered come forward without hesi- tation to take up arms. Analysis of the registration returns fails to disclose any general l.uemm at evasion. CORRESPONDENT A MAJOR. Frederick Palmer Selected for Gen. Paris, June 25.—It is annourced ‘at American army headquarters. that Major-General Pershing has ap- pointed Frederick Palmer of New York to his staff in the intelligence department, with the rank of major. The appointment ‘is in line with General Pershing's purpose to secure specialists in all branches of the, ser- vice and Mr. 'Palmer’s long experience at the European front, at headquar- ters, was regarded - as making him particularly valuable to the staff at this time. He will have general charge of the army's relation with the American press and while his activities will be chiefly devoted to that work the staft will “be able to utilize his war ac- quired knowledge in other respects.: m,m' BLAZE IN GLASTONBURY..| Drug Store and Plumbing Shop 5 .
