COURT PORCEEDINGS

On Friday Charles F. Finley, who was convicted the first part of the week
for selling intoxicating liquors on Sunday, and also for selling to a minor
under the age of eighteen years was before the court and was sentenced to
pay a fine of $250 on each conviction. Finley's application for a license
to keep a hotel at Califon, having been continued to Friday for final
determination, was withdrawn on that day.

James Saford who plead guilty to breaking and entering the house of George
Kline in Readington Township, was sentenced on Wednesday to four years hard
labor in State prison.

The trial of innictments was continued on Wednesday of last week and the
Prosecutor moved the case of The State vs. Raymond A. Pickel, who was
charged on two counts with assault and battery on his wife Elizabeth J.
Pickel, in October last. On October 15th Mrs. Pickel had gone from the
farm where they lived to her father's home in White House. She testified
that the arrangement was that her husband was to call for her and their
baby not later than 9:30 o'clock in the evening to take them home. About
10:40 the defendant and his work hand, Joseph Teats, drove up to the house
for her. She says that she unbraided him somewhat for being late, and that
he and Teats then drove away leaving her there. Later she walked to her
home for the purpose of getting some things for the baby, and she says that
he refused to let her have anything and struck her and threw her on the
floor and placed his knees on her and put her out of the house. She then
said she would get some of the horses to drive back to her fathers and that
out in the yard he threw her on the ground and struck her again. The
defendant said he drove away from her father's house because she said she
would not ride with him and Mr. Teats, she claiming that they were both
drunk. He and Teats both claimed they were not drunk and that all they had
drunk was a glass of beer. Pickel said he did not assault her, that she
was abusive and threw shoes or slippers at him and he placed her on the bed
and held her arms to quiet her; that he did not throw her down outside or
strike her; that when she went to get a horse he pushed her away from the
stable door and she fell down. She then went to the house of the neighbor,
Mr. Bush, and got him to take her back to her father's. She further said
that on the following Monday she went again to Pickel's to get her things,
and that he again struck her and refused to let her have her things. This
Pickel denied. The jury found him guilty on both counts, and he was
sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and the cost of prosecution. Raymond A.
Pickel was also indicted for deserting and failing to support his wife and
child. This indictment was moved on Thursday morning. After the jury had
been sworn and the first witness called the Prosecutor asked leave to enter
a nolle (sp) to his indictment. This was allowed by the court and that
ended the case.
