Wanted by Burlington:
Mona Plea Is Changed To Non Vult
Anthony Mona, 38, of 4th st. near Atlantic ave., today changed his plea of not guilty to non vult on nine indictments charging him with breaking and entering and larceny, and aiding and abetting larceny.
At the same time, County Judge Martino announced, he would recommend that six additional indictments be nolle prossed.
The additional indictments charge conspiracy and contributing to the delinquency of minors.
$50,000 Bail Continued
The change of plea was made as Mona was scheduled to go on trial before Judge Martino. Martino set Dec. 19 for sentencing, and continued Mona's bail of $50,000.
The high bail was originally set for Mona by County Judge Dzick on Nov. 20, three days after he was arrested by Camden and Pennsauken police in the cellar of a house in the 4000 block of Federal st., Pennsauken.
Bench Warrants Issued
He was sought at that time on bench warrants issued in Camden and Burlington Counties. The Camden warrant was issued Nov. 7 when Mona failed to appear in court to enter a plea. Another warrant was issued in Burlington County when Mona failed to appear for sentencing.
He had been found guilty Oct. 14 by Burlington County Judge Drenk of carrying a concealed deadly weapon April 1 in Maple Shade.
At today's proceedings Mona was represented by Louis N. Caggiano, and the state by Assistant Prosecutor Robert B. Johnson.
