At the conclusion of the examination Lawyer Simpson for the immediate discharge of the prisoner on the grounds that nothing had been brought out to show that he was in any way connected with the death of the woman. No Proof That Murder Had Been Done. "There is no proof here that murder has been done." said lawyer.

"and if of an automaton there is nothing left your honor's duty is they anything but that for you to do but free the prisoner." Mr. Simpson also called the court's attention to the fact that Englert, the Harrison man who described the woman's clothes before he saw the body had then identified the woman as Mrs. Whitmore, and asserted that the court would have just as much ground to hold him for the crime as to hold the defendant. In announcing his decision Magistrate Branegan said: "It seems to me that there has been established a motive which leads me to believe that this murder of Lena Whitmore was committed in the town of Harrison, and that Theodore S. Whitmore was the murderer of that woman.

I believe the evidence submitted warrants me in holding this man for the action of the Grand Jury." Bail in the cases of Englert and Bartlett was reduced. from $5,000 to $2,000. and with Whitmore they were taken to the Hudson County jail on the 2:53 train this afternoon. Kirkman and Thompson, who were arrested the day the crime was discovered, will probably be paroled by the Sheriff on order of Acting Prosecutor Vickers to- morrow. The body of Mrs.

Whitmore was taken to Schenectady, N. burial carly this morning. All charges incidental to its being held here for two weeks and its removal were paid by Whitmore through his counsel. When the arrangements were completed and Whitmore was informed that the body was to be taken away he expressed a desire to see the remains once more, but on advice of Magistrate Branegan, Chief Rodgers denied the request. Whitmore spent a dejected morning in his cell.

He was in tears a part of the time, and between his sobs proclaimed such treatment an injustice. She did not come to Harrison. Prosecutor Says He Has Good Case.

This hearing was nothing more than a formal affair anyway, and represented little more than a formal arraignment." "I think I have a good case against the defendant," he continued. "but this was no place to bring out all the evidence." Much was made of the statement made by Whitmore that his wife wore several diamond rings when she left him, and the finding of one of these rings among other jewelry at the saloon of Fred Radin, In Brooklyn, was apparently regarded as signifcant by the prosecutor, for this part of Whitmore's story was gone into in detail by the prosecutor and witnesses. It was a few minutes before the noon hour when the hearing began. The witnesses called by the state, with the exception of Bartlett, were confined to a little anteroom.

Bartlett was brought from his cell in the basement of the building. The first witness called was Irving Webster Crane, the Newark youth who found the body us it lay, face downward. in the brackish pool of rainwater in Lamp Black Swamp, on the morning after Christmas. His testimony, of little portance, was the same as adduced at the inquest Thursday night. However, Alexander Simpson of Jersey City, who appeared as Whitmore's legal adviser, sought to make much of it, and cross-examined Crane at length as to his movements on the few days preceding the discovery of the crime.

Crane is a boy 17 years of age. He said that he visited the section frequently, and that on the morning in question he had gone over to Harrison looking for ice of suflicient strength to permit skating.

The examination of the witness was uninterrupted until he: was asked as to his knowledge of the relations between Whitmore and his Then there was a squabble between the lawyer -and the magistrate, at the 'end of which the court directed Bartlett to answer. "No, I don't know nothing about was the reply. general laugh went up from the crowd, and the court rapped for order.

The witness was finally forced to admit that he had known something about the relations between the couple, and to admit having previously informed Prosecutor Vickers that he once followed the woman, at the instigation of Whitmore, to William C.

It is for this reason that I am advising him as to his rights here." Daniel O'Neill, when called testifled to seeing Mrs.

Whitmore in the on Christmas afternoon and that she seemed to be on friendly terms with her husband. He told of the scrimmage on the street on Christmas Eve when Mrs. Whitmore asked him to prevent her husband taking her pocketbook. Mrs. O'Neill was not called.

Considerable ginger was injected into the proceedings. by Mrs. Lily Heidel, also who known Peidler, of 146 Lawrence, street, had known Mrs. Whitmore for a little over a year. She came to the front and seemed a willing witness while togshe tifying for the state.

She came forward, said, "because her friend had been killed." A lawyer asked her one question which could have been answered with a simple "yes" or "no." but she rambled along for fully three minutes before the court An: ally shut her off. She told a story of receiving a visit from Mrs. Whitmore on Christmas Eve. when the deceased brought a box filled with plumes and other millinery, a bankbook and some other personal effects; and of Whitmore's call. ing at her house a few days later and demanding these article and anything else belonging to Mrs.

"About a year ago," replied witness. "Where?" "Jersey City--Camden--PhiladelphiaCamden is in Jersey isn't it?" replied the witness, defiantly. "Which one of the three?" asked the lawyer. she replied, dejectedly. "Before you were married to this person were you ever married before?" asked the lawyer.

"How would I marry twice when I have only been married once?" was the answer I given. "Did you ever live with a man named Peihler?" asked the lawyer. "Am I to tell you everything about my past life? If you want the story of my life 1'11 sit right here and mark it down for you." "I am only interested in your past life in so far as it concerns this case; are you ashamed of it?" retorted the lawyer. refuse to allow you to answer that interpolated the court, bringing the tilt to a close, but not before the witness replied hotly: "No. I'm not ashamed of my past life.

are you ashamed of yours?" This created another outburst of laughter from the mob in the room, which prevented the lawyer's reply being heard. The story of the turquois ring was told by Detective Murray, who said that he had obtained a description of the rings supposed to have been worn by Mrs. Whitmore when she left the Adams street house for the last time. He said that Whitmore told him that Mrs. Whitmore had worn a ring set with a turquois surrounded by ten diamonds.

and that this was missing. Through Detectives Roddy and Ward. also of Brooklyn. this ring was traced to the saloon of Fred Radin on Tillary street, where Whitmore had deposited it with other jewels as security for a loan. It was also brought out by the examination of these detectives that Whitmore did not tell them where the jewels might be found, and denied that Radin had them when asked.

Detective Murray, during his examination. said that as he was walking down the street with Whitmore the morning following his first visit to the Harrison morgue the defendant admitted to him for the time that the dead woman. was, his wife.

Cully, Clark and the Reeds Declare Innocence, but Are "Mugged" for the Police Gallery. Sidney Reed. William Reed, Thomas Cully and William Clark were locked up yesterday afternoon in the Adams street police, station, pending arraignment in the. Adams Street Court, before Magistrate Dooley in the morning, on a charge of burglary. The four had been arrested early in afternoon by Detectives Seleski, Dwyer.

Kletz and MeCauley of tho headquarters force. on a charge of breaking Into the buteher shop of Joseph Walters. at 416 Hooper street. The burglary. as far as the detectives could learn, was committed at about 1 o'clock yesterday morning, and the thieves carried off the cash register, which proved to be empty, three chickens, some beef and an entire lamb.

The value of the property taken was placed at $300. The robbery seemed to have been an impertinent one, as well as bold, and Acting Capt. Kuhne decided to send out some of his men on the case as soon as he heard of it. The officers found that the door had beep forcel with a jimmy and the carmarks indicated the work had been done, if not by an expert, by persons who had opened shops in the middle of the night on more than one occasion. Just where Se -shi get his information is not known but he and Dwyer found out, it is claimed that some of the missing property might be found at the home of a man named Clark at 316 Devoe stroet.

They went to Clark's house and. found him and one of the Reeds in bed there. An examination of the premises resulted in the recovery of the carcass of the lamb which was under the bed, and the chickens, and finally the cash, register that had been taken from the place. Clark and his guest had been awakened before the search was made and they were stoutly doclaring that they. knew nothing at all about it.

And even after the lamb popped up and the cash register also they still insisted that there must have been a mistake and that the stuff must have been left there by some person who was most distressingly um, friendly, and they could not tell whom. While the police and the men were talking the matter over in came another Reed and Thomas Cully, and all four were placed under arrest. The police were assured by each that he had nothing to do with any burglary and that he could not tell how the loot of the robbery came to be at 315 Devoe street. This denial was repeated at local headquarters, where the men were taken, the charge on the blotter was "burglary," and. the men were taken to the police gallery and pictured for the collection.

The prisoners described themselves 88 William Reer, 29 years old, of 794 Grand street; Thomas Cully, 37 years old, of 143 Maujer street: William Clark, aged 85 years, of voo street, and Sidney Reed, aged 25 years, of 1076 DeKalb avenue.

As he mounted the front steps of his house. he, declares, seven men surrounded him and threw him to the walk. He was unable to cry out until his alleged assailants fled in an easterly direction. A colored hallboy named Hoyt, says that he saw the whole affair, but he did not see Mr. Lewis in the mixup, and supposed it was a party of friends trying to get an inebriated member home.

Lewis furnished the detectives, with a very meager description of the seven men he fisays robbed him. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. 'SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS.
