Man Freed in Attack as Father's Defender

Camden Courier-Post — December 22, 1932

Charged with beating two youths who attacked his father with stones, Salvatore Garvano, 24, of 937 South Ninth street, was dismissed by Judge Samuel M. Shay in criminal court yesterday.

Garvano, a banana vendor, was arrested Aug. 23, on complaint of Dorsey Robinsan, 14, colored, of 411 State street.

The boy alleged that Garvano and his father, Tony, 59, of the Ninth street address, attacked him without cause. The Garvanos testified they caught Dorsey and another boy stealing fruit from a wagon and that the boys hurled stones when the older man remonstrated with them.

A second case in which father and son were charged with assault was dismissed when Judge Shay released Stanley Sandswo, 52, and his son, Charles, 13. The father was charged with attacking 14-year-old Bronislaw Wyennek, of 1321 Rose Street, after the latter had engaged in a fistfight. The quarrel took place July 8.
