Camden Man Is Taken to Face Holdup Charge

Camden Courier-Post - February 12, 1938

Arrested Thursday at the home of a relative here, Edward Markowski, 21, of 1240 Whitman avenue, yesterday waived extradition and agreed to go back to Connecticut, where he is wanted in connection with the holdup of a gambling house at Middletown.

According to State Trooper D. Nelson, of Connecticut, who has been looking for Markowski here for 10 days, the Camden youth was implicated in the holdup on January 18 by Leroy Jenkins, formerly of Camden, who has a criminal record here.

Jenkins was captured when the holdup victim beat him and tossed him into the street.

Markowski at first denied being involved in the holdup and stated he would fight extradition.
