The Street Committee of City Council held a special meeting last evening to pass bills.

An enlivening incident of an otherwise dull meeting was a wordy war between Contractors Sherman and Neilson over the Haddonfleld pike paving. "bush lot" by the Du Had way children 2.ZU ciock. rom that time she was never seen alive. Henry Town-send, with Sallie McMenamin and Annie Lafferty, went through this bush lot at 2.4? and saw a colored man going through the woods. Annie Lafferty subsequently picked Lingo out of a crowd of six colored men at the Camden jail as the man whom they had seen in the woods near where Mrs.

Miller's body was found. Lingo was also identified by David Wilder, who saw him in the bush lot about 2 30 o'clock. On the return of John Miller, the husband, from Camden, he made in quiries and heard that his wife had been seen to enter the roadway of the bush lot, and called to his aid the local constabulary, who, with neighbors and bimseii, searched and found the dead body of his wife, Annie Miller, with her throat cut, left hand wounded, her clothes disheveled and packages and umbrella lying on the ground. Lingo was arrested, being pointed out by Charles Du Had way, who saw him on the roadway the previous da v. immediately afterwards the defend ant's clothing, admitted to have been worn on the day of the murder, were examined by a skilled expert, and manimaliaolblood was found in the secretions taken from his finger nails and in hir overshirt and overalls, for which he had not satisfactorily accounted upon the Friday evening of his arrest.

Lingo had positively denied that he had been present in any part of the bush lot after early morn" ing of the Thursday in question, in direct contravention of the witnesses aforesaid. On the same Friday a search of Lingo's house brought to light a razor the handle of which was found to contain undue amount of mammalian blood. Lingo admitted he had used the razor to shave on the day before the murder, but failed to account for the blood on the handle. On Friday after the murder a por tion of the sleeve of the overshirt, admissibly belonging to. and worn by Lingo on the Thursday of the murder, was found soaking wet in the bush lot in proximity to where the body was found.

It was comparatively new and without imperfections. His explanations that he took it off and tUrew it away instead of putting it in his. pocket because it came loose and hampered him in his work was in credible, The prosecutor then attacked the theories of the defense. It was a mon strous hypothesis that the woman was murdered by her husband in her own home, with the privity of her sister, Miss Mary Collins, and that the body was subsequently taken to the place where it was found. The theory of her having a coat on when she left home in the morning was annihilated by posi tive proof in opposition to it.

The finding of the breastpin furnished positive proof that she was murdered in the bubh lot. Lingo had failed by forty-two minutes to account for enough time to establish an alibi, but the state had shown that he had ample time to commit the crime. He had been arrested and convicted of serious crimes in every State where he lived. So that although but thirty-four years of age, hne naa served eight years in various prisons, 'ihe lack of reliability to be placed even upon his sworn testimony was manifested by the lie he swore to relative to the route he took on the day of the murder. The point raised by the defense that there might have been two colored men in the bush lot, was answered by citing evidence to show that Lingo was fully identified by witnesses who saw him there.

To the other point, aa to the time Mrs. Miller arrived at the bush lot, he said the testimony of the witnesses who detailed the movements of the woman after she left the train was too indefinite as to the time to enable the Court to draw any satisfactory conclusion. As to the question of Lingo's motive, he said that with Lingo's acknowledged bad character, and his established presence in the bush lot at the crucial time, no proof of motive was called for, but in this case there was proof of both lust and robbery. The apparel taken from the dead woman was produced, and examined by the judges with great interest. The opinion of the Court will be delivered next term.
