BY BARREL OF CHICKENS
Charged with obtaining goods under false pretenses, Harry Bowen, aged 39 years, of 5637 Osage street, Philadelphia, and William Peters, of Fifth and Berkley streets, Camden, were each held under $1000 bail by Recorder Stackhouse, in Camden yesterday.
After shipping a barrel of chickens to Bowen at 1772 Callowhill street, J. C. Elwell, a Salem farmer, became suspicious and sought the aid of the Camden police. Detective Brothers arrested the two men at the Camden terminal, where he alleges they were endeavoring to get possession of the chickens. The police say the property at the Callowhill street address is vacant.
