Thirty-Third Street runs from the Delaware River south, across River Road to the Pavonia railroad switching yard, then from Westfield Avenue to Federal Street, interrupted again by a rail line at Rosedale Avenue, and from Federal on to Highland Avenue at the Pennsauken border.

As in all numbered streets in Camden, it is North 33rd Street above Federal, and South 33rd below.

WIFE SPIRITUALIST, MAN ASKS DIVORCE Decree One of Six Recommended Here; Varied Rows Aired in Court Because Thomas Van Newkirk, 3718 Frosthoffer avenue, objected to his wife attending spiritualist meetings, she left him. Van Newkirk was one of four men and two women who were recommended divorces by Advisory Masters William J. Kraft and William B. Knight. All but one charged desertion, the other extreme cruelty. Van Newkirk testified before Kraft that he and his wife, Ruby, of 1201 North Thirty-sixth street, were married at Media in September, 1928, and that she deserted him in August, 1933, after an argument over her attending spiritualist meetings. Van Newkirk said his wife went to them regularly once a week and that he was unable to persuade her not to go. The couple has two children, Dorothy R., 7, and Richard Thomas, 5, who are with their father. Living with his wife and knowing that she cared for another man was bad enough, but when the other man began to call her on the telephone, that was too much for [illegible] Lyon, 324 Pearl street, Clayton, a Philadelphia bank clerk. [illegible] recommended a divorce from his wife, Martha E., 6301 Grays avenue, Philadelphia. Lyon said they were married in 1919 and separated last September. They have two children, Richard E., 15, and Shirley A., 14, who are with their mother. Lyon told Advisory Master Kraft his wife admitted she had "transferred her affections to another man." Lyon did not reveal who the man was. He said he continued to live with his wife until 1934, when the other man began to call his wife on the telephone. The climax, he testified, came last September, when he called her while they were entertaining friends. Lyon said he told his wife either he or she would have to leave. She did, Lyon testified. A witness for Lyon was his sister-in-law, Mrs. Marie Gray, of Philadelphia, who said her sister admitted to her there was "another man." Mrs. Bertha Verfaillie, 21 South Sussex street, Gloucester, who was recommended a decree by Advisory Master Kraft from her husband, William H., of Brooklawn, exhibited her burned marriage license. She testified her husband burned it with a match and said he was "a beast" when he came home drunk. It was then, she testified, that he would kick her and overturn the fruniture. Advisory Master Kraft placed an order of $5 a week on Verfaillie for the support of his daughter, Angela, 14, who is with her mother. After 31 years of married life, his wife left him, Charles Piper, 910 North Thirty-third street, told Advisory Master Knight. He and his wife, Farabelle, 2642 Federal street, were married in 1898 and separated in 1929. There are two grown children, Elsie and Farabelle. Her husband wanted her to work all the time and when she fell ill, told her he was "disgusted" with her and left her, testified Mrs. Anna H. Atkinson, 2830 Concord avenue, against her husband, Millard, Hartford, Conn. Mrs. Atkinson said they were married in 1923 and that her husband left her in 1932. She retains the custody of their two children, Millard, 9, and Charles, 5. [illegible] of Millville

Soldier Promotes Campaign to Get Mail From Home So anxious are Uncle Sam's soldiers to have letters written from home they have started a promotion campaign to encourage it. That was revealed today in a communication which Dorothy K. Kelly, of 141 North Thirty-third street, employed by the Courier-Post Newspapers, received from an Army friend in Oahu, Hawaiian Islands. The soldier, Corporal E. L. Coleman, a former Atlantic City resident, who conducted an artist concession on the boardwalk there, sent copies of two sketches he drew to use in connection with the campaign for letter-writing. Corporal Coleman and other soldiers at Wheeler Field, Oahu, plan to circularize as many organizations and individuals as possible to have them assist in encouraging writing of letters. Coleman also has written several pieces of verse on the subject.

1930sRichard S. Ivory

When my mother Kathryn, father James “Bud” Mohan, and I moved into 1201 N. 33rd Street in 1941, the street was a dirt road. Our milk was delivered by Mr. Eckles, who drove a horse-drawn wagon whose van was of steel construction, built like that of a truck, and fitted with pneumatic tires.

At the end of the block, where 33rd joined Farragut Avenue, there was a path to the river, where the shell and rails of a seaport hangar remained. Next to the mouth of the path was the disposal plant, which processed human waste. The waste was treated and flushed into the Delaware. I recall lingering on the banks with other kids to watch the grand flush on Saturday mornings.

Those were days when we believed in the Jersey Devil, marveled at the thick sea of fireflies as night came on, and played hose ball in the streets using 4” lengths of rubber hose and a broomstick bat. In the winter we skated on a shallow pond in what was then called Baldwin’s Run. Mark Twain’s Hannibal, Missouri, had nothing on Cramer Hill.

NEW VICE SQUAD IN 3 RAIDS NABS 6 AS SUSPECTS IN BANDIT GANG Police Believe Prisoners Know Something of Wierman Murder PROSECUTOR BALDWIN SEEKS SPEEDY TRIAL Indications Point to Sextet Staging Recent Holdups Netting $25,000 Arrested by the new Camden police vice squad today in three East Camden dwellings, four men and two women are believed by county authorities to be members of a bandit gang which collected $25,000 and murdered a Camden man in a series of eight holdups during the past two months. Prosecutor Baldwin expressed belief that the suspects were either implicated in, or know who executed the shooting of William "Big Bill" Wierman, alleged Camden beer runner, during a holdup April 28 at the Bellmawr County Club. He announced he would ask the grand jury this afternoon to indict them on charges made against them this morning made by the city police, and would probably place them on trial here next week. Meanwhile, all victims and witnesses [illegible] the daring holdups in and near the city will be summoned to the courthouse to attempt to identify the prisoners. He highly complimented the newly created vice squad on its efficient raids made after a week of painstaking investigation. Firearms Seized In each residence police seized a veritable arsenal of revolvers, sawed-[illegible] shotguns, repeating rifles and [illegible] of ammunition, all hidden in [illegible] or secret caches under the [illegible]. An opium "layout," hacksaw, [illegible] pairs of colored eyeglasses and [illegible] were also confiscated. The discovery of the tinted eye-[illegible] in the residence was of sig-[illegible] to Police Lieutenant Ralph [illegible], who pointed out that one of [illegible] armed bandits who held up the [illegible] of Freeholder Leonard Brehm [illegible] Front and Kaighn avenue two [illegible] before the Wierman slaying [illegible] green glasses to escape identifi-[illegible]. [illegible] detectives aided by state troop-[illegible] executed their raids with a pre-[illegible] which prevented any of the sus-[illegible] from resisting or escaping. Two [illegible] attempted to slip through the ring, but one surrendered after [illegible] shot was fired at him, and the [illegible] was captured while trying to [illegible] a rear fence. The suspects gave their names as: [illegible] Fisher, 38, of 41 South Thirty-[illegible] street, Camden. Nicholas Bartluci, 23, of 764 South [illegible] street, Philadelphia. Joseph Conti, 34, of 708 South Eighth [illegible], Philadelphia. Catherine Christman, 28, of 2202 [illegible] street, Philadelphia. Marco Reginelli, 32, of Apartment 2, at 143 North Thirty-fourth [illegible], Camden. Mrs. Mary Reginelli, 24, his wife, [illegible] address. Committed Without Bail [illegible] six were arraigned before Judge [illegible] in the city police court this [illegible]. As they were arrested in [illegible] a joint complaint charging each with carrying concealed deadly [illegible] was lodged against them by [illegible] Louis Schlam, member of [illegible] vice squad. An additional com-[illegible] charging possession of narcotics [illegible] placed against Conti and Cath-[illegible] Christman. [illegible] of the suspects pleaded not [illegible] to the charges and were re-[illegible] to the county jail without [illegible] Prosecutor Baldwin stated he did not immediately fix bail, but [illegible] hold them for further investi-[illegible]. They will be finger-printed [illegible] "mugged" so that county author-[illegible] can obtain their police records. Bartluci has been arrested four times [illegible] Philadelphia since 1926, but each [illegible] was released or exonerated. The [illegible] were inciting a riot in 1926. (Continued on Page Two) Vice Squad Nabs 6 Bandit Suspects (Continued from Page One) suspicion of hold-up and robbery in 1927, 1928 and 1929. Conti is a familiar figure in the Philadelphia underworld, according to police, and it is believed that he may be the same Joseph Conti who was arrested as a witness in a recent gang murder in that city. All of the prisoners treated their arrest with levity. Conti, while being led from the courtroom after his hearing jocularly remarked to Patrolman Everett Joslin: "Wait, and I'll get a machine gun out of my shoe for you." All the men were handcuffed when arrested in police court. Conti and the Christian woman were arrested when police broke down the door of a house at 3719 Highland avenue, Camden. Fisher and Bartluci were seized at the South Thirty-third street address, while the Reginellis were captured in their apartment. Conti made a desperate bid for freedom when he saw the detectives, armed with shotguns, repeating rifles, revolvers and tear bombs. The suspect dashed through the rear door, but came to an abrupt standstill when a member of the vice squad, Detective James Paradise, fired one shot at him. Bartluci also attempted to escape and was clambering over a rear fence when he fell into the arms of Detectives Walter Smith and Vernon Jones. All were arrested "on information received," the only explanation the police would give. It was revealed that the special vice squad, organized by police heads a few days after a Camden bank messenger was robbed of $6700 in broad daylight May 23, has had the three dwellings under surveillance for the past week. The raiders first visited the Highland avenue place at 5:15 a. m. An automobile was in front of the house, and Conti and the Christman woman were in it, according to detectives. When the suspects saw the police, they leaped from the car and ran into the house, locking the door after them. Batter Down Door Under the leadership of Detective Theodore Guthrie, the vice squad members quickly surrounded the place, and Detectives Smith and Jones knocked at the front door. There was no response, and the detectives then battered the door down, rushing into the dark interior with drawn revolvers. They found Catherine Christman, but Conti had fled out the rear. Detective Paradise's shot changed his mind about escaping. Then a thorough search was made of the premises for weapons or possible loot. In closets, under beds, the detectives found weapons of all description. Baseboards and the floors were hammered, and several traps were found to contain weapons when floor boards were ripped up. The raiders took their prisoners to City Hall, and then descended upon the South Thirty-third street house, at 6:30 a. m. There they had to force open the front door when their demands for entrance met no response. They arrested Fisher, who made no attempt to resist when he saw it was futile. Bartluci, however, dashed into the rear yard, but was captured. Here, another thorough search uncovered weapons, and when the prisoners and confiscated material had been disposed of, the raiders sped to the North Thirty-fourth street apartment, forcing the front door open at 7.30 a. m., after surrounding the place. Those who participated in the raids were the following members of the vice squad, headed by Detective Guthrie: Paradise, Jones, Walter Smith, Clarence Bunker, Louis Schlam, Clarence Arthur, Howard Smith and Joseph Mardini. With them were Sergeant Wilfred L. Dube and Detective Andrew Zopesky, of the state police. Seized in Raid The following is a list of what was seized in each place: At 3719 Highland avenue: One automatic 12-gauge shotgun, serial numbers filed off to prevent tracing to the buyer; one bolt action high-powered .38-calibre rifle; one .38-calibre short-barrelled revolver, loaded; one .38-calibre long-barrelled revolver, loaded; one hacksaw and blade; one box of 50 12-gauge buckshot cartridges, one pair of green glasses, three dozen silver spoons, 10 rifle bullets, 33 .38-calibre bullets, two bunches of keys, one handbag and a complete opium layout, including an extra pipe and a quantity of opium. At 41 South Thirty-third street: One .45-calibre Colt automatic, loaded; one .45-calibre side-break revolver, loaded; one extra clip of 20 bullets, one 12-gauge sawed-off shotgun, two barrels; four dozen 12-gauge shells, four dozen rifle bullets, 32 .38-calibre bullets and three .45-calibre long rifle bullets. At 143 North Thirty-fourth street: One automatic .12-gauge shotgun, Remington, Model 11, serial number 324870; one sawed-off shotgun, serial number filed off; one .32-calibre Savage automatic, six dozen 12-gauge shells, 13 .38-calibre bullets for a Luger revolver, eight dozen .32-calibre bullets, one dozen .25-calibre bullets and a pair of amber-colored glasses.

GAS STAMP THIEVES FLEE POLICE SHOTS 2 Escape in East Camden; Glove Compartments in Cars Rifled A "rookie" cop who started work yesterday and a district detective emptied their service guns early today at two young men whom they suspected of stealing gasoline stamps from parked cars in East Camden. While cruising on Thirty-third street near Saunders, Patrolman Dominic Palese, the new appointee, and Carl Fredericks, district detective, saw two men in a parked car. The police drew up beside the car and the two men got out and ran east on Saunders street. Palese and Fredericks chased the pair, emptying their guns in the air in an effort to halt them. The men got away through a swamp at Thirty-third and Saunders streets. The policemen said examination of several cars parked on Thirty-second street indicated the men were looking for gasoline stamps, as the glove compartments of the cars were ransacked with the contents strewed on the floors of the cars. The shooting attracted the attention of the neighborhood and the electrical bureau received several calls. Three police bandit chasers were sent to the scene to find out the cause of the shooting.

HOLDUP VICTIMS TO SCAN BANDIT SUSPECTS HELD IN TERROR REIGN Counsel Will Apply for Release of Defendants Under Bail EXPECTED TO BE LINKED WITH WIERMAN MURDER. Grand Jury Indicts Prisoners Seven Hours After Arrest Victims of the recent series of daring hold-ups were to be summoned today to attempt to identify four men who, arrested with two women in East Camden yesterday, are believed by authorities to be members of a bandit gang which has created a reign of terrorism in this vicinity. Indicted in the am[illegible]ngly short time of seven hours after their arrest, the six are being held without bail in the Camden county jail to await trial next Monday on charges of possessing numerous weapons and narcotics. Application for bail was to be made this morning by Samuel P. Orlando, attorney for the six. Orlando stated that if Prosecutor Baldwin declines to release the prisoners on bail, he would attempt to effect liberation through the medium of a writ of habeas corpus. The prosecutor stated he would ask all witnesses and victims in the eight recent major holdups to attempt to identify the four male prisoners on the theory that they may be members of an organized ring at whose doors are laid the holdups netting a total of $25,000. He also believes that the prisoners may know something about the murder of William "Big Bill" Wierman, Camden beer runner, who was slain during an ostentatious hold-up April 28 at the Bellmawr Country Club. All six prisoners were removed temporarily from the jail this forenoon and taken to city detective headquarters at City Hall, where they were photographed and fingerprinted by Detective Thomas Stanger. Copies of the photographs and Bertillion records will be sent to police departments in Philadelphia, New York city and Atlantic City to ascertain whether they are wanted for any crimes in those cities. The six were arrested in three East Camden houses yesterday morning by the recently organized police vice squad. They gave their names as: John Fisher, 38, of 41 South Thirty-third street, Camden. Nicholas Bartilucci, 23, of 764 South Warwick street, Philadelphia. Joseph Conti, 34, of 708 South Eighth street, Philadelphia. Catherine Christman, 28, of 2202 Lambert street, Philadelphia. Marco Reginelli, 32, of Apartment No. 2, at 143 North Thirty-fourth street, Camden. Mrs. Mary Reginelli, 24, his wife, same address. At 1:45 p. m. yesterday Prosecutor Baldwin took the case before the grand jury. At 2:05 p. m. the grand jury (Continued on Page Two) Holdup Victims to Scan Suspects (Continued from Page One) made a presentment of indictments to Judge Shay in Criminal Court. Three of the true bills charged unlawful possession of deadly weapons and the fourth alleged possession of narcotics. Of the weapon charges, one named Miss Christman, Conti and Bartilucci jointly; another cited the Reginellis jointly, and the third named Fisher and Bartilucci. The narcotic bill was returned against Miss Christman, Conti and Bartilucci jointly. Three of those held have long criminal records in Philadelphia. Philadelphia police have no record on John Fisher, but hangers-on in the Philadelphia tenderloin hint he is a big racketeer who was hiding out in Camden. Has Police Record Bartilucci was arrested in January, 1924, by Philadelphia police on suspicion of peddling narcotics, disorderly conduct, and violating a parole. He was sent to the protectory at Norristown, Pa., served about a year and was discharged. He was arrested again Dec. 30, 1926, charged with disorderly conduct and inciting to riot, and was discharged by a Philadelphia magistrate. On Jan. 19, 1926, he was arrested as a suspicious character and was again discharged by a magistrate. On Feb. 12, 1927, he was arrested by the Philadelphia bandit squad on suspicion of hold up and robbery, and again was discharged by a magistrate. Arrested on suspicion after a gang shooting March 25, 1927, he was discharged again. In June of the same year he was arrested as a frequenter of a gambling house and was released under a $300 peace bond. Conti formerly lived at the Fulton Hotel, Chester, Pa., and at Weldon, Pa., according to the Philadelphia police. He was arrested Oct. 19, 1926, by a Philadelphia police squad for sale and possession of liquor and was turned over to Federal officials. No disposition was made of the case. Later in the same year he was arrested for assault and battery by automobile. Reginelli was arrested in Philadelphia Jan. 1, 1920, as a suspicious character. Arrested in 1924 on suspicion of larceny by trickery, he was discharged by a magistrate. He was discharged after his arrest on a similar charge in August of that year. In September, 1925, he was arrested for conspiracy and larceny of $1800 by film-flam and receiving stolen goods and was sentenced to county prison for a year by Judge Edward L. Lewis. Philadelphia police have no record on the two women. According to county detectives, Reginelli, also known as John De Marco, was questioned in connection with the Black Horse pike gang murders in December, 1928, but was released. All were arrested "on information received," the only explanation the police would give. It was revealed that the special vice squad, organized by police heads a few days after a Camden bank messenger was robbed of $6700 in broad daylight May 23, has had the three dwellings under surveillance for a week.
