JUDGE AGREED TO LET HIM GO IF ALARM RANS.| Case Finished with Eleven Men and Alex Stopf, of Bayonne, Saved His Record. A case In the ayonne, N. J., District Court was Interrupted day by an alarm of fire. One of the Jury was Al- exander Stopf. He has been a member of the ayonne Volunteer Fire Depart- ment for several years, and it ts his Proud boast that he has never missed an alarm, When he was called to serve on the Jury to-day he said: “I'm perfectly willing to perform the duties of a juror, but I want the Court and the lawyers to agree to excuse me| if an alarm of fire should be received during this case, so I can report with my company and save being given a black mark for being absent. I don't want to take any chances of spoiling my Kod record.” Judge Robertson and the opposing! counsel, Recorder Lazarus and James Benny agreed. Fires seldom occor in Bayonne and it was thought perfectly safe to promise Stopf. The case had! been golng on but a short me whee box No, 17 was pulled for a fire in a shed on Avenue D. As the gong in the City Hall sounded Stopf sprang to his feet and grasped his hat and coat. “Judge, the fire bell has sounded, and 1 must go to the fire, You said you} would excuse me {f an alarm was sounded, Can't 1 be excused now?" “All the time the volunteer fireman's excitement w: increasing. “You may go," #ald the Judge, Stopf was out of the Jury box in a Jiffy, and a moment later he was run- ning wildly down the stairs, his coat on his arm and his hat away back on his head. He ran half a mile to the fire, and when he got there tt was all out, bythe Kot hie mark for "MARCONI SAILS “SUNDAY. Me In Now Hopeful of Adjusting Min Legal Ditcaltien, 8ST. JOUN'S, N.
