Offer to Exile Self Rejected by Judge

Camden Courier-Post - February 4, 1936

Although he offered to exile himself forever from Camden, Francis White, 36, of 916 Pearl Street, must spend the next 30 days here in jail for repeating an old offense.

White, termed a “habitual drunk” by City Prosecutor John H. Rieners, Jr., because of his frequent appearances in police court, was arrested near the Haddon Avenue armory on Saturday. He had been released from jail on January 26.

“I’m willing to leave Camden for good and to go to Philadelphia,” White pleaded, but Police Judge Lewis Liberman rejected his offer and sentenced him to jail.
