KERR TRIAL IMPROBABLE fln Unexpected Move In tlie Boss clileter Gasg at Paterson. KERR MAKES NO DEFENCE A Plea of Non Vult Entered on Be half of the Fourth Man A Pos sible Sentence of Fifteen. Years and Thirty for Associates A Sig nificant Comment by Judfje Dixon. Uy Kxcluslse Wire ficm The Associated 1'iss.s. Paterson, Jan. 23. Cle-orge .T. Kerr, who was jointly indicted with JlcAI ister, Camrbell nnd Death on a hargu nf rape and tnutder in tho Hist dogiv.j In connection with tho death of .lennlo Posschloter, was unexpectedly brought Into court this forenoon noforo cud',-j Dixon nnd pleaded non vult as to tho charge of rape. ,Tnim Harding, counsel for tho ptisoner. In nddrc-lng the court, said that Kerr vaa not ptcsent when the hnoekout drop's were administered to Jonnlri P.ot-sehlH-ter, nor did he nss.iult the g!rl .hi n she war taben from the art-lag. mi tit , Jtocl; road. Counsel :pi ossod tl'c hope that the prwcutsr and ccuit would taUo this into cun-ldcratlon and accept tho plea of non vult. Mr. Harding, Kerr's counsel, ex plained that be ontof' 1 the pita of non vult because In vi-j.v rf the nrcf- j ont temper of th'; commtmtty It wnul '. no Impossible to soeuip an unblaac l Jury for his client. Here Judge Dixon Interrupted the lawyer with somo renin -ks that cattle -1 a ficnration in tho court vom. Ho said i that in the trill of tho Hup lr.rn found guilty of Mi murdr of lounlo Posschleter there had been r. blasoii Jury blasel In the accused's favor. If the Jury had been unbiased thero would ptobably 11.HV li'en a dlffevont veirtlrt. "If I had been on that Jury," cb -clarcd Judge Dixon, "and of unlilasod mind I would have voted to send thoe three men to the gallows," County Prosecutor Kmley said tint while he had every preparation to place Ketr on trial on the indictment found against him. h" felt inclined to accept the pita of non tilt In view ot the statoimot made by counsel as to ICerr's connection with the girl's death, which seemed to bo corroborated by the general facts of tho case. Kerr "A as then remanded for sentence, and it is not lilcely that be will be tried on the charge of minder. Extreme Penalty. Prosecutor Umley announced at noon that, he would have .UcAlister. Kerr. Campbell and Death arraigned in court tomorrow and would move that ron tence bo pronounced at once. It is con lldently expected that all the ptlsonets except Kerr will receive the extreme penalty for murder in tho second de gree, of which they weru convicted. The full penalty Is thirty years' Im prisonment ut hard labor. It Is abo believed that Keir will be sentenced to tho full penalty of thu law on tho charge to which he has pleaded non vult. which is fifteen years' imprison ment at hard labor. Thero were but few spectators lu court when Kerr was arraigned, but the fact that ho had been allowed to get off with a plea of non vult soon spread through the town and became a topic of general discussion. It was received with surprise by many, but it was generally agreed that Keir had pm-Mied tt wise com so in not standing trial on the Indictment in view of .ludgo Dixon's charge to the Jury which convicted McAllster, Campbell and Death, to tho effect th.it all four were squally guilty, even if It was shown that only one of the prisoners assaulted the girl while all four were present. Tlie friends of McAllster, Campbell and Death could not bo convinced that there was tiny legal or good ivnson why so much consideration should have been shown Kerr. The latter in a brother of Former City Judge Kerr, and Is related by marriage to a promi nent oillclal of tho city, lvt-rr is forty one years of age. lias been married twlco and has a daughter eighteen years of age. Kerr's plea of non vult contendero to the charge of rape has tho same effect as a plea of guilty, although technically It Is not admission of tho crime. In effect it Is an announcement that no defense would be offered wore tho case called for trial. In view of tho acceptanco of this pica of guilty ot rape, Kerr will not bo called to answer the indictment nccuslng him of mur der. Salisbury Will Not Re3irjn.

FIVE MEN ARE KILLED Two or Three Others Ate Injured. Fireman and Brnkeman and One Engineer Must Havo Been Asleep. Conductor's Escape. By r.siliflvo Who fretu The A'Oi.laled Prcs. Parketsburg, Jan. 28. Two Baltimore end Ohio 1'a-jt freight trains, running east und west, nnd running nt high speed, collided this afternoon near Pe troleum, about ilftcen miles cast of here. It N believed that live men were hilled as n result of the collision nnd two or three others were severely In jured. Tho dead are: J. IS. Watklns. engineer; W. W. Cunningham, fireman cjstbound train; M. Courtney, brake man; J. T. Bailey, fireman westbound tivln; J. G. Bailey, brakeman. Tho accident oecutred in a cut on a tin-vo on a heavy down grade and at the end of ti bridge. That any one was saved at all Is almost a miracle. Tim thlid suction of tho westbound ficight train wus on the siding at Pe troleum, with orders to wait there till the second section of tho ea;:tbound pt.fsed. Engineer Davidson, who es caped with slight Injuries, was the en gineer on tho westbound and went to sleep on the siding. When tho first uectlou went by he thought It was tlie ssuond section and started out on to the main track. His llicmau and for ward brakeman, both of whom were killed, must also have been asleep, for thuy allowed him to take the truln cut. Tho conductor of tho first east bound suction after he had passed saw Davidson pulling out and tried to wave l:im to stop, but failed.
