DENIES HER GUILT.
Woman Accused of Murder Tells How.
Her Husband “Ins Killed.
Camden, N. J5, Jan. 12.—TI1E trial of
Mrs. McCusker for the murder of her
bus and has practically ended. Both
51d 3 rested at 3.30 yesterday afternoon,
am: court adjourned until tO-day, when
the closing argifinents will be had. It
_is thought that a verdict will be
re ched by to- night. .

again yeste1dav. She declared in her di-
rect testimony that her husband 11 as a
drunkard, said he brutally tieated he1,
and as a result of-the beatings she re—
.ceived for days she was unable to leave
her home. He had kicked her while in—
toxicated, had cut the clothing off her
back in order to prevent her escaping,

receiv ed th wour d f1 om which he died.
On cross— —examination by Piosecutor
'Ienkins she admitted she allowed men
toeall on her, but explained that they
were her personal friends and that her
husband did not Obpect to them, as he
knew them: too. '1
,She declared her husband was a
drunkard, ~but was never
, during business hours. waiting until af-
ten he had finished his labors. She de-
nied ever leaving him for a year. She
said that it was her husband who had
deserted her. ‘ She testified that her
, husband always kept a. revolver under
the pillow of his bed.
“Why did not you hide it?" asked
PrOsecutor Jenkins. -
Mrs. McCusker
thought of that.”
At this point the revolver with which
the shooting was done was handed her
by the prosecutor to demonstrate to
the jury just how she was struggling
with her husband, and how he shot
himself. At the sight of the pistol Mrs.
McCusker temporarily broke down, and
it. was some minutes before she could
resume her testimony. '
There was a scene at the afternoon’ s
session when Mrs. Coffey, mother of
:he defendant, was called. She testified
that she had seen McCusker strike his
wife, and had often seen bruises on her
face made by her husband’s fists. As
the witness 11a 5 leaving the stand she
fainted and fell into the arms of two
eonstables. At the sight of her mother
fainting Mrs. McCusker burst into
tears.

BWELVE COUNT ERFEITS FOU ND.
omciais Uncertain About the Number of
" Bogus $100 Bills Issued.
Washington, Jan. 12.—Twelve coun-
terfeit $100 certificates have been dis-
covered in the $3,500, 000 of $100 silver
:ertificates received at the Treasury
recently from all sources. several of-
dcials are inclined to b’elieve that not
rnany ofthesecounterfeits are in circu-
'ation. Others, just as competent to
indge, are less sanguine. When Secre-
tary Gage decided to call in all silver
certificates of the $100 denomination
:here were outstanding $25, 821, 000. Un-
der the call of the Secretary $3, 500, 000
In these bills have been received, only
about $100, 000 coming from sources
other than the Sub-Treasuries. There
are outstanding $22,321,000.
Assistant Treasurer Meline feels en-
couraged that so few bills of a spurious
:haracter have come to light, but there
is fear that when the banks, trust com-
panies and other holders of the $22,000, -
500 outstanding are heard from_ more”
' of the bogus tes may be discovered.
The emergenc call for the new $100
silver certificates ‘found the Treasury
stock of large tes run low. Ten days
will have passe befOre the Bureau of
Engraving and Paintin can have a
supply to meet the ext1aordinary de-
mand encountered by reason of the of:
flirts taken to stop the introduction of
my more counterfeits into circulation.
The Treasurer is exchanging $50 cer-
iifipatcs for the $100 certificates, which
ané being forwarded, but even that
supply is inadequate. By the middle
of next week the machinery will be
sunning smoothly, and the exchange
tan be made promptly thereafter. The
hidden call upon banks for their stocks
of certificates of the denomination
'named and their inability to obtain
)‘ther money in its place is embarrass-
, mg to some of the smaller banking in-
atitutio'ns. The ab: upt withdrawal of
nearly $26,000,000 from circulation; even
{Or a few days, is felt perceptibly.

A Disgusting Habit Alto-
gether Too Familiar.
.How ‘to stop It.
It may be a habit.
It. may be catarrh. '
But catarrh is dangerous.
The habit is disgusting.
Catarrh causes headaches. inflamma-
tion of the eyes, deafness and consump-
tion. -,
The habit causes humiliation.
Catarrh and habit should be cured.
That they can be cured and have
been cured, and 111 Norwalk. too, the
following is proof:
Mr. H. L. VVoodworth. of 1 Burbank
street, South Norwalk, says: “I have
been troubled with catarrh for some
time; m1 head and nose seemed pretty
well stuffed up, and the quantities of
matter that ran into my throat at night.
would cause me to hawk. spit and often
gag in the morning, before I could clear
mv throat. I got- some California Ca.-
tarrh Cure at Plaisted 5 drug store, and
already these s1mptoms are very much
better. M1 throat is finely free from
all mast-81 in the morning,
11 hole head feels much clear er. ”
Bv the use QCalifornia Catarrh Cure
is secured, and the peculiar properties
of the herbs used 1n its production not
only cleanse the mucous membrane of
all puriform matter, soothing and al—
1211 mg all inflammation, but also elfec-
tuallv destroy all forms of fungus which
may grow in the throat and nasal pas-
sages.
It has cured cases of almost total
deafness, restored the abilitv to detect
odors to persons who had almost for-
gotten what. an odor1 was, and has cured
cases that surely would have resulted
in total blindness. Let no one who
has suffered an 1' of the evils of catarrh, '
hesitate to secure a bottle of California
Catarrh Cure. with full faith that he
will obtain relief and cure.
'California Catarrh Cure is sold by all
dealers; 50 cents, three times as much
one dollar. '
GOV. GBIGGS’ M ESSAGE.
Recommends Investigation of Alleged
Corruption in Hudson County.
Trenton, N. J., Jan. 12,—The annual
message of Gov. John W. Griggs was
read before the Legislature yesterday
afternoon shortly after 3 o’clock. It
was a lengthy document, covering
thirty- two printed pages. The Gov-
e1n01 urged, especially, an investiga-
tion of the charges of coriuption made
against officials in Hudson County. He
said. ‘
“It Is alleged that the present Sher—
iff of that county, in order to protect
criminals from indictment and just
punishment, willfully and deliberately
returns grand juries composed as to
the major part of friends, copartners
and protectors of habitual law-break-
ers; that, in spite of the most clear
and convincing proof Of guilt laid be—
fore such grand juries, and under the
most positive direction'from the courts
to indict, the offenders are shielded by
grand juries, and are not presented for
trial; that such grand juries are not
exceptional, but are habitually so
of the prosecutor of the pleas has also
made up by the Sheriff.
“It is further charged that the Office
been used extensively to shield crimi-
nals; that many thousands of dollars
have been lost to the county by reason
of the failure, either willful or negli-
gent, of the prosecutor, to take proper
steps for the collection of money due
on forfeited recognizances of bail. Di-
rect charges of Official corruption have
been openly preferred against the as-
sistant prosecutor of the pleas, and he
is now under indictment for conspir-
acy to hinder and prevent the admin-
istration of justice in the very court of
which he has been an officer.
“3 ‘If it be true that the Sheriff of the
county or any other officers of justice
'holding commissions from the State
are engaged in a conspiracy to shield
criminals, so far as I know, there is
but one remedy, and that is the high
power of impeachment lodgedin the
Legislature. ”
Goiv. G1 1ggs also urges that this year
be not allowed to pass without the
adoption of some adequate measure to
1e1nedy the evil of Passaic River p01-
Iution He says the river, at present,
is a public nuisance, and a sourceof
Imminent injury to health.
As the Governor recommends in his
message some action on the' case of
Alexander Simpson, the Democratic
Assemblyman f10m IIudson. it is be-
iie1 ed the House will appoint before
adjoumment this 11 1ek a committee
to investigate the charges under which
Simpson was indicted.
