All in all, the majority of trad log was swapping one position for another, evening up over Saturday’s Census re port. After the call bearR seized the oppor tunity to sell on the hard spots and prices broke sharply, showing n net de cline of 4 to 12 points from the open ing within fifteen minutes after the movement started. General sentiment continues extreme ly bearish, but the majority predict an upturn before the ginning figures are posted.

J., Dec. 19.— 1 The swiftness of “Jersey justice” is he- } ing exemplified in the trial of Wil liam Leehan, who is charged with the murder of Mrs. Caroline Turner. | wife of an employee of the estate of George J. Gould, near Lakewood, three years ago. Among the first persons in the 1 courtroom to-day was Mrs. Jasper Lynch, the rich society woman who is aiding Leehan’s fight. Seated at i the counsel table beside the three lawyers her money had retained for j Leehan, she smiled confidently at the j prisoner and his wife. “I believe Leehan is an innocent man,” declared Mrs. L^nch. "The tes timony brought out last night does not affect my belief in the least. “My interest in Leehan I consider a public duty. I would have done the same for any other man charged with this crime. I know' his past; 1 know he is a drunkard. But I don’t believe this was a crime. 1 believe it was a terrible tragedy.’* The contention of the defense is that Leehan is the victim of a con spiracy and that Mrs. Turner was killed by an automobile in which sev eral wealthy men were riding.
