Youth Attempts Life Victim of Melancholia May Die From Bullet Wound With a bullet wound in his temple William Schweitzer, 20 years old, of 3002 River avenue, East Camden, is in Cooper Hospital, Camden, in a serious condition, although he is reported to have chances for recovery. Despite his youth, Schweitzer has been a victim of melancholia for some time past and Sunday night he was especially despondent. Instead of retiring he went out for a walk and took with him a thirty-two calibre revolver. Sometime about midnight three youths saw him staggering about Thirty-sixth and River avenue. Bernard Doran was apprised of the matter and he found Schweitzer bleeding from the wound in his head, the revolver still clutched in the youth's hand. At the hospital it was found the leaden pellet had missed the victim's brain by a narrow margin.

4 EX-CLASSMATES JOIN U.S. AIR CORPS Quinton, Thompson, Peak and McClintock, Teen-age Volunteers Four former Woodrow Wilson High students—pals throughout school—have joined the Army Air Corps. They left yesterday for Fort Dix. The youths, all student leaders at Wilson, are Henry "Butch" Quinton, 18, of 369 North 34th street; Alfred Peak, 18, of 556 North 34th street; Joseph Thompson, 19, of 624 State street and Robert McClintock, 18, of 2627 Westfield avenue. They were graduated last June from Wilson High. For several months they have been planning to join some branch of the nation's military service—but there was one obstacle. The parents of one wouldn't give their consent. However, after much persuasion by the four youths, consent was granted and Monday they enlisted in the Air Corps. Several weeks ago they sponsored and directed the first reunion of their graduating class. It was one of the most successful alumni gatherings ever held at the school. Quinton, an employe of the Courier-Post editorial department, was active in class affairs and photographer for the school magazine at Wilson. He also served as sports editor of the yearbook and played junior varsity football. Peak was employed by a local real estate firm. He was president of the 1941 Wilson graduating class and was voted "most dependable," "most popular" and "boy who did most for school" in the class poll. An apprentice machinist at RCA Manufacturing Co., Thompson was one of the most popular members of the 1941 Wilson class. He played a leading role in several class projects. McClintock was employed at a local paper manufacturing plant. He was business manager of the yearbook, played in the band and was a member of the varsity soccer team at Wilson. He received the physics prize at commencement exercises.

DIVORCE IS OBTAINED BY GRACE E. MILLER Former Eutaw Avenue Resident Gets Freedom After Bigamist's Conviction Mrs. Grace E. Miller, formerly of 228 Eutaw avenue, has been granted a final decree of divorce from George Earl Miller, formerly employed in the offices of the RCA Victor Company, Inc. The decree was granted May 5 by the New Jersey court of chancery. The suit was instituted March 27, 1931. Subsequently, Miller was adjudicated in contempt of court for failure to comply with an order of Vice Chancellor Edmund B. Leaming directing the payment of alimony. Shortly after the filing of the divorce suit, Miller was charged with bigamy by his wife, and extradition proceedings were taken by the Pennsylvania authorities. On October 23, 1931, Miller was removed from the Camden county jail to the Delaware county jail at Media, pending trial. At the trial, Miller denied he had ever been married to Grace E. Miller, but the testimony showed that they were not only legally married November 24, 1924, but for many years lived together in legal matrimony in Camden. The proofs further showed that on March 7, 1931, Miller went through a marriage ceremony before a magistrate near Media, with Jean Lukoff, then of 830 Haddon avenue, this city, and with whom he subsequently lived as man and wife at 141 North Thirty-fourth street and later at the Haddon avenue address. A petit jury found Miller guilty of bigamy on January 8, this year. The judge at Media sentenced Miller to no less than one year and not more than two years in jail and fined him $500. Mrs. Miller was represented in her divorce suit by Marshal H. Diverty, of this city.

The decree was granted May 5 by the New Jersey court of chancery. The suit was instituted March 27, 1931. Subsequently, Miller was adjudicated in contempt of court for failure to comply with an order of Vice Chancellor Edmund B. Leaming directing the payment of alimony.

Shortly after the filing of the divorce suit, Miller was charged with bigamy by his wife, and extradition proceedings were taken by the Pennsylvania authorities. On October 23, 1931, Miller was removed from the Camden county jail to the Delaware county jail at Media, pending trial. At the trial, Miller denied he had ever been married to Grace E. Miller, but the testimony showed that they were not only legally married November 24, 1924, but for many years lived together in legal matrimony in Camden.

The proofs further showed that on March 7, 1931, Miller went through a marriage ceremony before a magistrate near Media, with Jean Lukoff, then of 830 Haddon avenue, this city, and with whom he subsequently lived as man and wife at 141 North Thirty-fourth street and later at the Haddon avenue address.

A petit jury found Miller guilty of bigamy on January 8, this year. The judge at Media sentenced Miller to no less than one year and not more than two years in jail and fined him $500.

Mrs. Miller was represented in her divorce suit by Marshal H. Diverty, of this city.

BATHTUB GIN MAKER IS HELD FOR COURT Police Judge Liberman Also Frees Two Youths Accused by Tailor Two district detectives yesterday told Police Judge Lewis Liberman that Earl Bundy, 24, was making bathtub gin in the family was boiler at his home, 824 Sycamore street, when they raided the place Tuesday. He also had four barrels of mash, John Burns and John Huston, the sleuths, testified. Bundy denied the charge, but Prosecutor Samuel P. Orlando asked that Bundy be held without bail to await the action of the grand jury. Bundy was held. The court also listened to "The Tale of a Coat." John Erconani, a tailor, of 976 South Eighth street, accused Edward Hargrove, 18, of 1178 Penn street, and James Walter, 15, of 1185 Penn street, of taking the garment from his store yesterday. According to the evidence Hargrove presented a ticket calling for a coat that had been left for repairs. The tailor and his customer searched for the garb, but couldn't find it. Then Hargrove left and Erconani said another coat left with him. Erconani asked that the youths be convicted, declaring that if the coat was gone he would have to pay for it, and that he had a sick child that required the money for medicine and professional attention. Detective Robert Ashenfelter asked for a further hearing to make an investigation, but Herbert Richardson, attorney for the boys, said no evidence had been introduced to prove that they had taken the coat. Judge Liberman agreed and dismissed the charges, but told Ashenfelter that if further investigation disclosed evidence to the contrary, the youths would be re-arrested. Francis Murtagh, 24, of 117 North Thirty-fourth street, paid a $3 fine for reckless driving. It was testified that Murtagh was doing 55 miles an hour at 2.30 a. m. and that he was chased a mile and a half before he was overhauled.

Two Brothers in Raided Cafe, Each Insists He is the Owner

Camden's own Damon and Pythias, owners of a soft drink parlor in which federal agents claim they found high-power beer on sale, reached a dramatic compromise today.

Martin and Joseph Seigle are held in $500 bail each as proprietors of the "parlor" at 2046 Federal street, charged with sale and possession of drinks not soft enough to meet approval of federal authorities. Both live at 7 South Thirty-fourth street.

Prohibition agents Saturday raided their place, the Marlton cafe, on a search warrant obtained after an alleged "buy."

Theodore A. Harris, enforcement chief, claims he found 7 half-barrels of high-power beer and a small quantity of liquor.

"Who's the owner of this place?" he asked Joseph Seigle.

"I am," said Joseph.

In walked Martin.

"I'm the owner, lock me up," said Brother Martin.

"He is not. I'm the owner. Lock me up," pleaded Brother Joseph.

"Boys, boys, please," remonstrated Harris, "you're both under arrest."

Today they faced U. S. Commissioner Wynn Armstrong each still insistent on saving the other but unable to reach a decision.

So they compromised.

"We're both proprietors," they told the commissioner.

Which is why both Martin and Joseph Seigle were held for court, instead of only one of them.

Mother Rushes to Street Too Late To Save Boy from Death by Truck An East Camden mother rushed from her home last night to prevent her two and a half-year-old son from playing in the street only to see him injured fatally under the wheels of a truck. The boy, John Bowers, 114 South Thirty-fourth street, was struck at Thirty-fourth and Mickle streets and died of a fractured skull two hours later in Cooper Hospital. The truck was driven by Louis DiLoreto, 22, of 3504 Rosedale avenue. Also witnessing the accident was Verna Stark, 17, of 29 South Thirty-fourth street, who has been acting as a nurse maid to the child. Looking for Playmates John, blue-eyed and blond, finished eating his supper and dashed out the back door looking for his brother and sister, Dana, 4, and Robert, Jr., 5, and the brother of Verna, Robert Stark, 9. Believing the other children were at the Stark home, John started north on Thirty-fourth street, picking up a paper bag en route. The child's mother, Mrs. Lorraine Bowers, shouted to Verna to watch the boy and the girl and mother dashed out of the home only to see him standing in the middle of Mickle street. As they shouted to the boy to come back, he was struck by the truck. Tried to Avoid Child DiLoreto told detectives he swerved his vehicle to the left to avoid the child and did not know he had struck him until he heard screams of the mother and Miss Stark. A passing motorist, Andrew Slover, of Cotoxen Lakes, Medford, picked the boy up and took him to the hospital. DiLoreto is employed as a messenger in the Camden Relief Bureau. The truck is owned by his father, Ermin DiLoreto, a huckster. The driver was arrested and held in $1000 bail on a technical charge of death by auto. The dead boy's father, Robert Bowers, Sr., is employed in Philadelphia as a salesman. PENN VACUUM STORES— USED El
