Vacuum Cleaner Sale Sends Seller to Cell
Accused of fraud in connection with the sale of a vacuum cleaner, Leonard Hauser, 39, of 218 North Eighth Street, yesterday was arrested and held on $1000 bail for a hearing Monday in Camden police court.
Complaints against Hauser were Mrs. Mary Kirby, of 552 Bailey Street, and Frank Thompson, dealer in vacuum cleaners at Fifth and Cooper Streets.
Hauser allegedly sold Mrs. Kirby a machine, taking her old one in exchange. When she complained the new one did not work, according to the complaint, Hauser took it and failed to return it, or the $25 she paid as a deposit.
