TAYLOR BREAKING
DOWN.
Negro Murderer Begins to
Worry as the Day of His
Execution Draws
Near.
HOPES FOR A REPRIEVE
,
Court of Pardons Will Hear
the Case Tomorrow—Pre
parations for the
Hanging Begun.
r
For the first time in his more than a
years imprisonment in the County Jail
George W. Taylor, the negro murderer,
yesterday showed signs of worriment
over the'approach of the day fixed for
his execution. lie had passed a reslies-s
eight, but resolutely declined the invita
tion of his death watch to pet up aud
play a game of cards. When he finally
arose in the morning he was sullen and
morose and for the first time refused to
partake of the hearty breakfast seut to
hint by Matron Murray.
Warden Sullivan went to the con
demned man’s cell and tried to c-liecr him
up, but the effort was unavailing. Tay
lor admitted that it was the near ap
proach of the day fixed for his execution
aud the slight possibility of a reprieve
that made him feel sad. He had read
in Saturday's papers the names of ,the
jurors appointed by Sheriff Zeller to
witness his execution and that made him
feel that all hope was gone.
a Dour lour o elect; in tne atternoon
the murderer's wife called to see him.
He was in tears when lie emerged from
his cell into the corridor in which' the
| ever present death watch sat. Between
his sobs lie talked with his wife for n
short time and she told him to spend his
time in prayer so that if the worst came
) he would lie prepared.
BECOMES MORE CHEERFUL.
Later Taylor became a trifle more
cheerful. He likes children, and when
he saw two young boys, who were visit
ing the matron, walking through the
hallway ontside of the corridor in which
his cell bpeus, he seemed pleased and
began to talk to them. The little fellows
responded and the trio kept up a con
versation for some time, at the conclu
sion of which the murderer said to
them:—
"Always obey your father and
mother and yon won’t do wrong. If you
don’t do wrong there will be no danger
of either of you ever being where I am
today. Be good, it pays best in the
end.”
It is thought that the fact that he lias
so few visitors preys on Taylor's mind.
Nearly all of his friends seem to have
deserted him since he became an occupant
of the condemned cell. His sister, to
save whoso honor he claims to have
committed the murder, has only called
once. He expected her again yesterday,
but she did not come and his disappoint
ment was manifest. His brother 1ms
not seen hiin since he was removed from
Ward 3, after sentence was pronounced,
and none of his other relatives have
visited him at all.
For a long time his wife did not
come to the jail, but now she coils there
occasionally. So, aside from his spiritual
adviser, the Rev. A. M. Briggs, and
his counsel. Joseph M. Noonan, Taylor
has few visitors.
This morning the men prisoners were
removed from Ward 0 and work pf
clean:”'* and whitewashing that portion
of the jail preparatory to erecting the
gallows was begun. Everything will be
in readiness for the execution if a re
prieve is not grauted by the Governor
or the Court of Pardons does not com
mute the negro’s sentence to life im
prisonment when it meets tomorrow.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE HANG
ING.
' Taylor, from the corridor of ward 1
could see the prisoners transferred from
ward G to 5, and knew that the women
Occupants of the latter ward had pre
riously been transferred to tile top floor
of the Building. lie understood what
Ui"*# preparations meant, that they were
preparatory to the work of erecting

the instrument of death on which he was
to die. Naturally he became still further
depressed and spent most of his time
in the quiet of the cell. There lie could
still hear the work of preparation goiug
on but could no longer see the men en
gaged at it.
Taylor’s case, it is understood, will
he considered by the Count of Pardons
tomorrow, and if it is decided that there
will be no interference with the sentence
of the law. it is thought that Hangman
William Van Hise will arrive With itis
gallows on next Saturday night, when it
will be erected and tested. If Taylor
g.tt a reprieve or his sentence is com
muted the work now in progress will
be discontinued. -
LIVE NOTES
ABOUT TOWN
The little three-vear-old daughter of
Jersev City, whose hump of destructive
ness was abnormally developed, espe
cially where dolls were concerned, was
presented on Christmas morning with
an old fashioned worsted doll.
’•There," said mamma, triumphantly,
as she stuffed Dolly iu the top of daugh
ter’s stocking, “my girlie can’t eitiier
break or tear this!”
Vesterday, however, mamma found
poor Dolly witn its throat cut from
ear to ear. When being taken to task
about it, the little murderer replied:—
“Oh, muzzer, I'only want to see the
bleed ome out! See!” And she held
Dolly tip delightedly, ns a little stream
of sawdust flowed from the cut.
"So, you see,” explained mamma later
to a friend. “My little girl is not so
destructive at all—only of an investigat
ing frame of mind!”
The sisters went shopping the Mon
day before Christmas. The married one
with five children was after presents.
The unmarried one was buying kaick
knaeks for herself.
“Come around to the glove counter. I
need a pair of white ones,” said the un
married one.
“Oh, I wouldn’t buy gloves today if I
were you,” said the married one. "May
be Santa will bring you a pair.”
“Well, then, let us go to the notion
counter. I must get a new pocketbook.”
“No. no, don’t bother about buying a
pocketbook. If you don’t get one Thurs
day. you can buy it next week.”
“All right. I’ll just step over to the
stationery counter and buy some writ
ing paper and envelopes.”
“Now, see here,” said the M. S.
“You’ve made me tell you what Charlie
and Jack and Polly are going to give
you for Christmas. If you keep ou
you’ll know what Sarah and Maude have
for you and maybe Uncle Bill aud Aunt
Susan too.” \ ou’d better go aud shop
by yourself.”

“Live Note” column of “The News,"

sellor Robert Carey tendering Newsboy

"This is an old suit.” said a lawyer
before Vice-Chancellor Pitney today,
about to make a motion fur a continu

“So is this,” replied the Vice-Chancel

didn’t catch on, and proceeded:—
“And I wish to renew——”
“I wish 1 could this,” replied the Vice
Chancellor and then the lawyer saw the
joke, and both laughed and naturally the
order was granted.

MOTORMEN WRANGLE.
Passengers Held Up While the
Men Fight for the Right of
Way.
Passengers on a Montgomery street
ear, which left the ferry about midnight
Saturday, had to wait fully ten mniutes
at Bergen avenue while two motormen
quarreled over who should have the right
of way. The Montgomery street car
reached Bergen avenue just as a Jackson
avenue car was trying to get into the
shed from the Belt line tracks.
The Jackson avenue motorman had
switched his car on the up track ou
Montgomery street, but before he could
reach the switch which runs into the
shed, the Montgomery street car came
up the hill and blocked the way.
Each motorman refused-' to back out
of the other’s way and a wrangle en
sued. The cars were stalled about ten
minutes, and the passengers on the
Montgomery street ear, most of w^om,
were returning from the theatre, became
greatly incensed over the delay. One
man took the numbers of the cars and
declared he would report the conduct of
the men to the company.
The Jackson avenue motorman finally
gave in and backed his car out of the
way

Disastrous Result of Two
Young Men’s Outing With
a Slow Steed and a
Cutter.
A runaway accident occurred on the
Boulevard, near Neptune avenue, Green
ville. about four o’clock yesterday after
noon while the roadway was well filled
with sleighs, and several smash-ups re
sulted, which created no end of excite
ment. There were four broken sleighs
when the damage had been reckoned up
and twice that many people were dumped
unceremoniously into drifts of snow. For
tunately no one was seriously Injured. It
was a miracle, however, that some of the
people who were thrown from their cut
ters did not receive broken heads or
broken legs and arms.
The animal which started the excite
ment was a black truck horse. It was
attached to a low black cutter and two
young men were enjoylug the sleighing.
The road was filled with sleighs. There
were teams and singles galore. Suddenly
the pleasure of the two young fellows
and other drivers was interrupted when
the black horse bolted. He went on a
mad dash up the Boulevard from the
canal bridge at the Bayonne line. The
driver could not manage him and both
sought safety l>y jumping from the back
of the cutter. They landed on their faces
in a heap of snow.
l-luitBUB niisn.
On went the runaway up the road, the
sleigh swinging wildly from side to side.
Pedestrians shouted warnings to other
drivers. Some heard the yells und these
pulled off to one side to allow the beast
a clear road.
At Seaview avenue the runaway hit a
cutter in which were seated a lady and
gentleman. Over went the sleigh and
the occupants found themselves in a
snow pile. Someone caught the horse be
fore it could run away. The right run
ner of the runaway sleight was ripped
off.
Just before the freiglitened animal
reached Winfield avenue, the sleight hit
another cutter, but did no more than
scrape off some paint. The runaway
sleigh was a wreck however. The en
tire right side was torn off, and as the
animal continued its flight the cutter
went along on one runner.
CAUGHT AT LAST.
A short distance from Cator avenue
the horse was caught. Several cutters
had narrowly escaped being hit on the
way up the road. There had been plenty
cf excitemeut for about ten minutes.
The young men who claimed the runa
way said their names were Howard
Metzger and Ralph Joergeus, both of
Fortieth street, Bayonne. They said
that they did not know what caused their
horse to bolt.
