JAIL ENTRY SUCCEEDS
Camden Man Breaks in, But by Wrong Route.
An attempt to break into a Camden jail by John Carney, of 211 Benson street, proved more successful today than he expected. Recorder Stackhouse gave him four months, but in another jail.
Detective Stanley caught the man trying to take the keys of the Camden "pickery" from the watchman. The pickery is a place where prisoners are sent to sort paper.
Several of Carney's friends were sent to the place a few days ago, the police say, and he is accused of trying to release them.
