Bold Hold Up Of Automobile Near Three Bridges
A lone highwayman stopped Robert Taylor, chauffeur for J Amory Haskell, near the Middletown turnpike three bridges while misty darkness hid his weapon. He demanded money, rejected a watch, and noted the driver only had a dollar. Taylor fled to Matawan to report to Red Bank Chief Wymbas, who sought Detective Minagh without success. The robber, tall white man in a dark suit with mask, loomed with a blue steel revolver as the car crept away.

Recall Intervenes in New Jersey Supreme Court Case
Peter Smith gained standing to intervene in the Louis Runkel v. Long Branch clerk suit at the New Jersey Supreme Court in Trenton. He filed a petition for recall of Mayor Bryant JH Newcomb and three commissioners, with 456 signatures, and argued for combining petitions and elections, while the court set briefs due within 30 days. The case centers on whether separate petitions or joint actions apply to three commissioners and whether a single or separate elections are required, plus if a general claim of incompetence suffices.
