2 SEIZED IN THEFTS FROM FREIGHT CARS
Companion Held for Failure to Obey Criminal Registration Act
Two men, arrested for breaking into and robbing boxcars in Camden, will be arraigned today before Police Judge Lewis Liberman, as will a third man arrested at the same time charged with failing to comply with a city ordinance requiring criminals to register with police.
Clyde Thomas, 23, of 117 New street, Philadelphia, and Daniel Paulk, 21, 1828 Salem street, both Negroes, were picked up in the city freight yards by Sergt. Joseph Tully and George Smith, railroad detectives, and turned over to Detective Gus Fortune at headquarters.
Fortune said both admitted breaking the seal on a car on the Van Hook street cutoff on September 15 and stealing two mattresses valued at $60 and selling them to a second-hand store for $6 and taking a 700-bale of rags from a car yesterday worth $21.
Arrested with them was Lucius Robinson, 21, 983 Ferry avenue, who has failed to register with police, Fortune declared.
