DEFENDANT A GOOD WITNESS. Explains Presence of His Hat and Knife at Scene of the Murder. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L.

June 9-Max Dubert is not guilty of murdering Henri Cunaud of Northport. The jury 80 reported late last night after deliberating one and one-half hours. He was indicted for second degree murder. After the jury reported, Judge John R. Vunk discharged the Cunaud was killed with a knife on the highway at almost the identical spot where Dubert was last seen a few minutes before the murder was probably committed, and Dubert's hat and knife were found near the body, As Dubert had had no quarrel with Cunaud, the strongest point the prosecution had to connect 1 him with the Max Dubert.

crime was the finding of Dubert's knife and hat at the scene, and the ad. ditional fact that Dubert's clothing was covered with blood. It was likewise contended that Dubert probaaly had no intention of killing Cunaud, but that in his muddled condition he thought Cumaud must be Neat Smith, with whom Dubert had quarreled. Dubert, who made a remarkably good witness for himself, explained that his hat was knocked off and his knife lost when Neat Smith knocked him down at the same le spot, where Cunaud's body was found. He said the blood on his clothes came from his own body when Smith "smashed" his nose.

He contended that shortly after Smith knocked him down and left him, two men came along and carried him to Ta vacant house near. where he spent the night. He did not know these men, he said. Charles B. Partridge defended Dubert.

June 9-John Drew is now at his villa in Lily Pond lane for the Mr. Drew, who always takes an interest in the civic betterment of the town, is striving now to improve the appearance of the highway by doing away with unsightly and disfiguring signs. The sign which most particularly excites Mr. Drew's disgust is the following, which is posted in Dunemere lane, alongside a marsh bordering the links of the Maidstone Golf Club:" DUMPING RUBBAGE FORBIDIN UNDER PENALTY OF THE LAW.

Mr. Drew doesn't like the spelling and wants the sign removed. A village antiquarian has looked up the word "rubbage" in the dictionary and finds it there, put down as an obsolete or ancient form of the word "rubbish." (Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, L. June 9-Dr. W.

S. Bennett, who served three terms as Supervisor of Brookhaven Town, from 1903 to 1909, has turned over to Supervisor Riley P. Howell a check for $346.30, which he states is the amount which he considers he is indebted to the town for interest on town fund, which was retained by him while in office. Supervisor Howell, when asked about the matter, said only that he "received the check, but as yet I have not formally accepted it." At a meeting of the town board, held a few months ago, it was decided to take action to recover from former supervisors all moneys collected by them as interest on town funds in their possession while in office. Supervisor Howell has been working on his plans to carry out tho action of the town board, as directed, but as yet he had made no demands upon any of the former occupants of his office for the return of any moneys.

That such demands, or other steps with the same end in view, will be made shortly is fully expected. Dr. Bennett in His letter accompanying the check, stated that he had "recently learned that there is some question as to whether the common practice of all former supervisors of retaining interest moneys paid on town funds was legal or not and employed counsel and had the matter investigated and find there is a possibility that I am indebted to the town for a certain amount of interest moneys." During his term of office he said he borrowed money as an individual to pay town bills when there was no money in the treasury, and that he paid the discount on these notes. The refunding of these discounts, he said, will materially reduce the amount he owes the town. "I heartily indorse the attitude you have taken and believe that in these matters the law should be enforced," wrote Dr.
