‘Ghost Sniper’ Fires on Auto by Cop’s Home

While every policeman in Camden was notified to watch for appearances of the "phantom sniper," that mysterious individual fired his twelfth shot last night at a motor car parked near the home of a police officer. The incident became known today after Captain John Golden, of the city detective bureau had stated that all patrolmen as well as detectives had been instructed to keep a sharp lookout for the sniper. Mr. and Mrs. William Frenzel, of 208 Laurel avenue, Woodlynne, came to Camden last night to visit Policeman William Moll at the latter's home, 914 Kimber street. With their son, 13-year-old William, Jr., they spent some time at the Moll residence, parking their car at Ninth and Kimber streets. Shortly after 8 o'clock they returned to the car to find that the automobile windshield had been struck and broken by some missle that left a mark like that of a bullet. No bullet was found and residents of the neighborhood had not heard the report of a gun. The spot at which the Frezel auto had been parked is about four blocks from the entrance to the Camden bridge, on which a motorbus was recently fired upon by the "phantom sniper" and where Bridge Policeman John J. Rogers was knocked down by a blue marble, seemingly fired from a powerful air gun. The spot is also an almost similar distance from the Federal street bridge over Crescent boulevard where former State Senator Albert S. Woodruff narrowly escaped death last December when the sniper made his first appearance. Most of the other incidents have also been at or near the Federal street bridge. Instructions to Camden police to watch for the sniper came after the "ghost gunner" had been seen for the first time. On Saturday morning, he fired a bullet through the window of a bedroom on South Broadway, awakening Redempta and Jean Napier, 25 and 20 years old respectively.
