CHARGED Payment of $3,000 Pending a Complete Investigation. Murder, based on the allegations that he poured over his sleeping brother Carl about a quart of benzine and set ‘him afire in the middle of the night, and, failing to thus cause the death of his victim, administered a powder which caused death in @ few hours, was the charge against Alexander Leg- ler, Jr. twenty-ore years old, brought by Chief of Police Murphy, of Jersey City, to-day in the Furst Criminal Court before Police Justice Higgins. Pale and trembling, after a sleepless night in the City Prison, the accused had stood at the bar while Chief Mur- phy asked for an adjournment until next Monday in order that he might make further investigations, The ap- Piication was granted and the prisoner was returned to his cell, Justice Hig- gins refusing to fix ball. “Money Madness” at Bottom. “Money madness" lies at the bottom of the crime, Chief Murphy declares, and the motive he assigns is the hope of collecting insurance money amount- ing to $3,000 provided for in three poll- cles the dead man had taken out, fn all of which the accused is named as the beneficiary. © Though the prisoner has made peated attempts to collect this money, the Insurance compenies held it up, on the advice of Chief Murphy, as well as on thelr own suspicion, Four months ago the brothers agreed to each become insured for $3,000, nam- ing the other as beneficiary.
