Two Negroes Arrested for Murder in Camden

Two Negroes Arrested for Murder in Camden Bullet Through Heart Killed Hageney—Pockets Looted, But Assailant Missed Gold Watch That the highwayman who murdered Francis Martin Hagency at Twenty-seventh street and Marlton ave., on Thursday night, is the same one who shot and killed Rev. T. M. L. Childrey on the White Horse pike five weeks ago, is the belief of the Camden police. The cobined force of city and county detectives are at work on the case, and thus far two suspects have been arrested, an armed negro and a colored woman being taken into custody yesterday. The prisoners are Henry Thomas, aged 23 years, and "Brownie" Jones, aged 20 years. They were arrested at 636 Locust street by Detectives Moffet and Murray, following receipt of word that they had quarreled and that the man had threatened to kill the woman. Thomas carried a loaded pistol, a blackjack and a box of cartridges. They deny any knowledge of the crime. The police claim that six persons who were recently held up in various sections of the city, yesterday identified the negro as their assailant. The slain man was 33 years old and lived at 418 Reed street, Philadelphia. He was murdered and robbed while walking along a lonely section of Twenty-seventh street from Pensauken township, where he had spent the evening with Thomas Martin. He formerly lived in what is known as the Highland section, moving to Philadelphia three years ago after the death of his wife. He was employed at the Washington street wharf as a munition checker for the British Government. The robber used but one bullet to murder his victim. The shot struck him in the breast just over the heart, and severed an artery leading to that organ. A post-mortem examination was made by County Physician Stem and Coroner Pratt, and although they probed for an hour, they were unable to locate the bullet. The slain man's brother, John Hageney, of 1240 South American street, Philadelphia, claimed the body, which will be buried on Monday at Calvary Cemetery. Hageney's lifeless body was found by John A. Wenderoth, of 2305 Mickle street, and George O. Prince, of 212 North Thirty-eighth street, while driving along Twenty-seventh street in an automobile. The head light of the car revealed the prostrate form on the side of the road. The dead man lay on his face, and the pockets of his trousers had been turned inside out. One cent lay on the ground near the body, and the slain man's straw hat was six feet away. There was no money left in the clothing, but in his haste, the murderer overlooked a lady's watch which Hageney carried in the small pocket of his trousers. It belonged to his dead wife.
