Camden News Notes — May 6, 1911

Camden News Notes A watch and other jewelry stolen two weeks ago from the residence of P. A. Walton, 730 Linden street, were recovered yesterday in a Philadelphia pawnshop by Detective Brothers. Judge Horner, sitting for Judge Joline, yesterday granted retail liquor licenses to Frank A. Muckenstrum, of Winslow township, and T. M. Ritter, of Pensauken township. Frank 9gnew and Stephen Michael, Philadelphia boys, are being held by the police as runaways. Held under $300 bail to answer a charge of keeping a disorderly house at the hall at 1039-41 Kaighn avenue, Camden, which he owns and where he keeps a liquor store, Alexander Jasienski, a leader among the Polish residents, claimed in court that a mistake had been made. Police Captain Stanley and Policeman Climes testified to entering the hall last Sunday, finding upwards of 150 men and women there eating and drinking. Jasienski stated that the festivities were held by the St. Joseph's Society in celebration of the one-hundred-and-twentieth anniversary of Poland's constitution. He declared that he rented the ball to the society and that they supplied their own eatables and drinkables. Joseph Wotkowiak, president of the society, gave bail for the accused hotelman. In jail in default of bail following his arrest on a charge of larceny preferred by Blanche Thomas, Frank Gibbs, colored, was released yesterday in Camden police court by Acting Recorder Stackhouse on receipt of a message that Joseph Gibbs, father of the prisoner, had dropped dead on the street while endeavoring to secure a bondsman for his son. The elder Gibbs was 65 years old and was a veteran of the Civil War.
