Admiral Wilson Blvd - Camden NJ - 1958
Admiral Wilson Boulevard looking East from the Baird Boulevard Overpass circa 1958

Admiral Wilson Boulevard, colloquially known as US Route 30, holds a rich history and a complex reputation in South Jersey. Spanning from the foot of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge to the Airport Circle, this thoroughfare has been both famous and infamous at different periods. The boulevard is named after Admiral Henry Braid Wilson Jr., a distinguished naval hero in World War I, and a proud native of Camden. His father, Henry B. Wilson Sr., a notable figure in the city, was honored with the H.B. Wilson School at 7th and Florence Street.

Originally designated as Bridge Boulevard, the road was intended to connect with Bridge Avenue, an older street that has since vanished from the maps. The name change to Admiral Wilson Boulevard was informally embraced by travelers following Camden's Armistice Day ceremonies on November 11, 1929. Despite this popular usage, the change was not officially authorized until 1937, during Mayor Winfield Price's administration.

The south side of the boulevard was originally planned to be parkland, offering motorists scenic views of the Cooper River, Camden High School, and various city and county parks across the riverbank. However, this vision was replaced by commercial development, driven by the Sears-Roebuck Company's decision to locate on the boulevard instead of downtown Camden. The construction of Sears' modern building at Admiral Wilson Boulevard and Mount Ephraim Avenue in 1927 marked a significant milestone in the boulevard's history.

In the mid-1930s, Commissioner Frank J. Hartmann Jr. initiated a push to rezone the boulevard in Camden, paving the way for commercial development. By the late 1930s, a thriving business district had emerged along the boulevard in both Camden and Pennsauken Township.

The post-World War II era witnessed a surge in businesses along the boulevard, including gas stations, car dealerships, bars, motels, and various other enterprises. Despite efforts to improve traffic flow with wider roads, bridges, and ramps, traffic congestion persisted, becoming emblematic of the boulevard.

By the 1970s, the boulevard's reputation took a hit due to the presence of bars, motels, and adult establishments, a perception fueled by negative media portrayals. In reality, the adult establishments were limited in number, and the motels, once commercial hubs, became hotspots for illegal activities.

In preparation for the 2000 Republican Convention in Philadelphia, then New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman implemented a controversial initiative to acquire all commercial properties on the south side of the boulevard east of the Cooper River to create a park. This move led to the demolition of commercial buildings and loss of tax-generating properties for Camden.

Traffic congestion remains a persistent issue, exacerbated by flooding on the south side of the boulevard during heavy rains and high tide. Despite the challenges, the north side still houses numerous commercial buildings erected before 1960, some of which serve different purposes today.

Edwin S. Wirtz

September 5, 2026

Edwin Stanley Wirtz was born in Camden, New Jersey on May 18, 1914 to Stanley R. Wirtz and his wife, the former Emma McDade. Stanley R. Wirtz was at the time an iron molder. He was born in Pennsylvania on June 20, 1892, the son of Phillip and Mary Wirtz. The Wirtz family lived at 143 Dana Street in Philadelphia, PA at the time of the 1900 Census. The elder Wirtz was then working in the leather industry. Besides Stanley, there was a younger brother, Edwin. By 1910 the family had moved to 913 Howard Street in North Camden. Stanley Wirtz was working as a moulder in an iron foundry, while father Phillip and younger brother Edwin were working in the leather industry. Stanley Wirtz married Emma McDade on New Year's Day, January 1, 1912. She was the daughter of James McDade, a member of the Camden Fire Department.

Directories from 1913 to 1916 show them living with Emma's parents at 414 North Front Street. Stanley Wirtz was still working as an iron molder when he registered for the draft in 1917. The family then lived at 511 Cedar Street. He served in the United States Navy during World War I and as late as 1922, then returned to his family and iron molder job in Camden. The family made its home at 908 Point Street in 1920 and again with Emma's parents at 414 North Front Street in 1921 and 1922. Emma's father, James McDade, died while serving with the Camden Fire Department in 1922.

The 1923 and 1924 Directories show the Stanley Wirtz family at 313 Erie Street. Not long after the 1924 Directory was compiled, Stanley Wirtz was appointed to the Camden Police Department. The 1926 Directory shows him working as a policeman and living at 1253 Thurman Street.

By 1930 the Wirtz family was living at 1339 Van Hook Street. Also living there was grandmother Mrs. Emma McDade and grandfather Philip Wirtz, then a watchman at Camden's old City Hall on Haddon Avenue.

Edwin S. Wirtz married Lillian May Dieser shortly after the Census was taken in April of 1930 and the compilation of the 1931 City Directory. The 1940 Census shows him living at 626 Ferry Avenue with his wife Lillian and children Ronald B., 3, Robert, 2, and Nancy, 1. Another child, Richard, had been born in 1938 but had died that same year. At the time of the census Edwin S. Wirtz was working as a truck driver. Three more children would follow: Dorothy, James, and Linda Wirtz.

In October of 1943 Edwin S. Wirtz was appointed to the Camden Fire Department, where he served for 22 years, as a firefighter and lastly as an inspector with the Fire Marshal's office. His cousin, Carl M. Wirtz, joined the Camden Fire Department in 1951. After serving in the military during World War II, Edwin S. Wirtz returned to Camden. The 1947 City Directory shows him living in the Civic Center homes that were built for veteran's housing after World War II and razed to make way for the overpass on Admiral Wilson Boulevard near the old Sears Roebuck store.

By the summer of 1957 Edwin S. Wirtz and his family were living at 2662 Berkley Street in East Camden. In 1962 he was living at 1227 North 19th Street. Edwin S. Wirtz retired in October of 1965 after 22 years of service with the Camden Fire Department. He was then living at 2010 River Avenue in Camden. The Wirtzes separated and later divorced. Edwin Wirtz remarried, living in Maple Shade, New Jersey, and lastly in North Wildwood, New Jersey.

Edwin Stanley Wirtz passed away on April 10, 1975.

11th Street

May 26, 2026

Eleventh Street ran north, from Market Street all the way through to Pearl Street. Over time North 11th Street was erased, block by block, until all that remains is a segment between Penn and Linden Streets, with six occupied rowhomes.

South 11th Street is somewhat of an artificial construct, being the name given to the connecting road that runs south from Federal Street then elbows east and north, carrying it over the Admiral Wilson Boulevard and terminating at Federal Street north of the Cooper River. At one time it ran underneath the railroad tracks to the front of the National Guard Armory which became Camden's Public Works building. There are no, and to my knowledge have never been any, South 11th Street addresses.

131 North 11th Street

131 North 11th Street served as a bar and/or liquor store as early as 1883 until it was closed and razed.

Henry Frost, a former volunteer fireman and at one time a member of the Camden Fire Department, was a dog fighter; his bulldog "Whitey" won numerous fights. In the spring of 1883 the dog was stolen, and Henry Frost began drinking to excess. As a former member of the Weccacoe Fire Company No. 2, Henry Frost realized money when their old firehouse at 503 Benson Street was sold in 1883; with it he opened a small saloon at North 11th and Carpenter Streets, where he died on December 28, 1883.

Henry Frost was survived by his wife Sarah, who operated the business about a year — appearing in the 1884–1885 City Directory as "Frost Sarah, liquors, 11th and Carpenter" — then sold it to John U. Meiler.

134 North 11th Street — The Large Family

William F. Large Sr. and family lived at 134 North 11th Street in 1930. Three of his sons — Philip J. Large, James J. Large, and William F. Large Jr. — all served in the Camden Police Department.

Somerset Street

May 20, 2026

Somerset Street is a street that nobody lives on, running north from Admiral Wilson Boulevard and ending at Raritan Street. Its true function for many decades has been to serve as an exit for eastbound traffic on the Admiral Wilson Boulevard to gain access to Baird Boulevard and the rest of East Camden by turning left on Randolph Street, then right onto Baird Boulevard. No homes carry a Somerset Street address, although 4 homes on Randolph Street and two on Raritan Street have side windows that peer out to Somerset Street.

Maplewood Street

May 19, 2026

Maplewood Street, like Somerset Street which intersects with it, is a street in East Camden that nobody lives on. The street as conceived was meant to run from Baird Avenue east to Camden’s city limits, parallel to Randolph Street. The construction of the Baird Avenue overpass and commercial development along the Admiral Wilson Boulevard had the effect of preventing any homes from being built on Maplewood Street, and it was only paved to a point just east of Thorndyke Street, where an auto repair shop stood for many years. Satellite views show that at one time the street did continue east, in an unpaved condition.

Kaighn Avenue

August 11, 2025

Kaighn Avenue is one of Camden's most historic streets, stretching from Kaighn's Point at the Delaware River eastward to the Admiral Wilson Boulevard and the Airport Circle in Pennsauken. The street bears the name of John Kaighn, who purchased 460 acres of land along the Delaware River in 1696. His family operated the Kaighn's Point Ferry, one of the most important crossings of the Delaware River for nearly two centuries.

The avenue bisects Camden from west to east, passing through successive neighborhoods — the riverfront commercial district, the Broadway shopping corridor, and the residential Parkside neighborhood — before crossing the city line into Pennsauken.

The following history was compiled from city directories, newspaper archives, and local records. Primary source: Rambles Through Old Highways and Byways of West Jersey by Charles S. Boyer, 1967, edited by Phillip Cohen, 2003.

Kaighn's Point Ferry

John Kaighn purchased 460 acres along the Delaware River in 1696 and established what became known as Kaighn's Point. His descendants operated the Kaighn's Point Ferry across the Delaware for generations. The ferry service was one of the primary crossings between New Jersey and Philadelphia, carrying passengers, livestock, and goods.

The ferry landing at the foot of Kaighn Avenue was the western terminus of the street. The Capewell Glass Works, established by the Capewell family in the 1860s, occupied the land near 10–12 Kaighn Avenue at the riverfront.

OVER IN CAMDEN. * Miss Cora Severn, of Fourth and Pine, had her arm severely scalded yesterday. * The valuable family plate owned by the late Miss Eleanor Browning was left to Mrs. Samuel Bergen. * Charged with stealing a boat, Thomas Grove and David McAnthy, of Gloucester City, were held for trial. * The congregation of Tabernacle Methodist Church contribute $300 a month toward paying off the church debt. * George Meyers, who has been wanted for a week for assaulting Samuel Roach, was locked up in the city jail yesterday. * Charged with assaulting William Malson, a two-year-old boy, William White, alias "Barfoot Bill," Camden's dog catcher, was landed behind the county jail bars last night. * Friends of Julius Spoore, the Swiss picnicker, who was prostrated by the heat at Stockton Park and died in the Cooper Hospital, claimed the body yesterday. He lived at 813 Shallow street, Philadelphia. * County Physician Iszard has ordered Coroner Tomlinson, of Gloucester, to hold an inquest in the case of John Kirk, the young Philadelphian drowned on Sunday at the mouth of Timber creek, after a row in a boat. * The failure of his counsel to get a writ of habeas corpus, induced saloonkeeper William Gallagher, of 106 Kaighn avenue, convicted of Sunday selling, to pay his $50 fine yesterday and secure his release from the county jail. * The Rev. J. Livingston Allen, pastor of the Kaighn Avenue Methodist Church, celebrated the silver anniversary of his marriage last night at 1229 Hyde Park. Representatives of four generations on Mrs. Allen's side were present. * The will of William T. Read, a real estate broker, which was filed yesterday, leaves his estate, said to be worth $100,000, to his widow and son, except these legacies: Linde Baptist Church, $500; Mary Campbell, $2,000; John Campbell, $1,000. * Efforts to save the arm of Lincoln Prutzman, a Pennsylvania Railroad brakeman, whose elbow was crushed last Wednesday while coupling cars, have proved unavailing, and the Cooper Hospital surgeons will amputate the injured member to-day. * Thomas Guthridge, who was run down at the Mount Vernon street crossing, wants $10,000 damages from the West Jersey Railroad Company for personal injuries. The suit was commenced yesterday, and also a suit for $500 by the executors of A. T. Davis's estate, for a wagon smashed in the accident. * Over-confidence in human nature cost Curtis Truitt, a colored farm hand employed by Robert Jones, of Mount Ephraim, the price of a load of truck yesterday. Truitt allowed 18-year-old John Hansom, of 817 Clark street, to drive his team, while he slept, on his return from the Philadelphia market. Hansom picked Truitt's pocket and escaped.

Want Liquor Men Put on the Rack

WANT LIQUOR MEN PUT ON THE RACK Camden County Law and Order League Hints That Political Pull Saves Offenders The Camden County Law and Order League is endeavoring to bring to punishment the saloon and tavern keepers who escaped indictment in the recent round up of liquor sellers charged with violating the law. The September and December grand juries indicted 168 liquor dealers out of 216 against whom complaints were filed by the League, and it was currently reported that strong personal and political influences were exercised in behalf of the forty-eight who escaped. Yesterday the League renewed its complaints against the forty-eight "immunes" and sent a communication to the grand jury as follows: "We presented before the two preceding grand juries the names of about 216 persons charged with about 1200 specific violations of law, including the selling of liquor on Sundays, the having of slot machines and other gambling devices and the keeping of disorderly houses. Of the persons thus charged 168 have been presented to the court for trial, forty-eight were not thus presented, although some of them were known to be old offenders and had committed more offenses than some of those who were presented. To be more particular, while some were presented against whom there were three or four counts, others were not presented, although there were against them as high as twelve, thirteen and fourteen counts, and these, supported by the same evidence precisely as had been accepted in the examination of the cases presented for trial. HINT AT UNDUE INFLUENCE. "We cannot account for this, because we refuse to believe that there is one law for one offender and another law for another offender, when the offense is precisely the same; and because we are loth to believe the current rumor that purely political influences had to do with the results of the inquiries. We believe most deeply that the court proceedings must be kept above suspicion and that in their integrity is the safeguarding of the interests of the people. Hence we appeal to your honorable body to make the most searching investigation of our charges in order that the law may be maintained and the really guilty be brought to just account. "We entreat this the more because in addition to the evidence before presented we have other witnesses who were not heard then and witnesses whose testimony is of much importance in arriving at a just conclusion as to the matters to be inquired into." The communication is signed by Rev. John Handley, D. D., president, and Rev. S. H. Hann, secretary of the League. The grand jury sent a formal acknowledgement of the receipt of the communication. The league supplied the grand jury with a list of the names, places and charges against the accused liquor sellers, whose names are as follows: SALOONKEEPERS ACCUSED. CAMDEN CITY.—P. J. Boyle, 1011 Broadway; Philip Berger, Seventh and Clinton; N. N. Chew, 1016 South Fourth; James Croker, 400 Jasper; John Dugan, 100 Pearl; George Doerfuss, River road and Main street; George Dillmore, Fourth and Kaighn avenue; "Doc" Eisner, 3000 Federal; Pat Flood, 640 Pine; William Gallagher, 106 Kaighn avenue; Jesse Grant, 109 Kaighn avenue; West Jersey Hotel, Henry Hussing, 623 Pearl; John Hoosey, Front and Cooper; John J. Keefe, 28 Haddon avenue; P. J. Kelly, 643 North Front; Arthur Lloyd, Sixth and Royden; John McGowan, Tenth and Division; Ed Mulligan, 22 South Eighth; William Moffert, South Third; Frank Norton, 951 Ferry avenue; Z. Heithamer, Day and Federal; William F. Sand, Haddon avenue and Line; A. Schraden, Fourth and Spruce; J. Schramm, Cooper and Cleveland avenues; Jacob Selser, 1186 Kaighn avenue; Thomas Tracey, Twentieth and Federal; Jacob Walz, 33 Union; Frank Wilson, 909 South Fourth; Daniel J. Woods, 108 Kaighn avenue. Of these thirty Camden saloonkeepers, seventeen have pleaded guilty before Recorder Nowrey for violating the city excise ordinance by selling on Sundays. Some paid the fine of $50, while others escaped punishment, the Supreme Court setting aside the excise ordinance. The keepers of inns and taverns who are charged with selling on Sundays are Bowman H. Bates, Waterford township; William R. S. Buckingham, Centre township; E. T. Crowley, Winslow township; George C. Stratton, E. B. Davis and Louis Ederle, Gloucester township; Harry Foell, Waterford township; James J. Foster, Centre township; James J. Keating, proprietor of the Red Mill, where a pool room was formerly in operation; Charles H. McCully, Winslow township; Caroline Slemmer, Chesilhurst; William Snyder, Waterford township; A. H. Tiffen, Pensauken township; B. F. C. Rothwell, and Charles H. Wood, Winslow township; F. W. Weldemann, Pensauken township.

The northwest corner of Kaighn Avenue and South 3rd Street, 299 Kaighn Avenue, has a detailed property and ownership history dating back to the Kaighn family lands of 1812, and was home to Rochester Men’s Clothing (later Rochester Formal Wear) from 1906 to 1955.

299 Kaighn Avenue

A good friend of the website, Steve Ross, passed on the property records relating to the house his grandmother grew up in, 299 Kaighn Avenue, on the northwest corner of Kaighn and South 3rd Street. This page connects several Kaighn Avenue families including the Silverman, Levin, and Ross clans. Steve has done extensive research and written at length about the Ross & Silverman family. These writings have formed the basis for the four pages listed below.

Property and Ownership History

The lot where 299 Kaighn Avenue stood, on the northwest corner of South 3rd Street and Kaighn Avenue, was part of the Kaighn family's lands, which they occupied many years prior to the Revolutionary War. In 1812 James Kaighn passed away and the land in question passed on to his daughter, Grace E. Kaighn.

“Being a part of the premises that were allotted to the said Grace E. Kaighn Commissioners appointed by the Orphans Court of the County of Gloucester to divide the real estate of her father James Kaighn 10/6/1812. Recorded in the Surrogates Office of Gloucester County at Woodbury in Book no. 1 of Divisions page 136&C.”

The Kaighn lands were broken up and sold over the years. On September 2, 1874 Howard M. Cooper, who had been appointed administrator for the Grace E. Kaighn Estate, sold the land from South 3rd and Chestnut Street south across Sycamore Street to Kaighn Avenue to Randal E. Morgan. 299 Kaighn Avenue was part of this sale.

Randal E. Morgan sold a tract of land including the 299 Kaighn Avenue lot in short order. On May 3, 1875 Nathaniel T. Horner acquired the property for $2,400.

Land conveyed to N.T. Horner by Randal E. Morgan and wife 5/3/1875 $2400 Book 80/ Page 39

Nathaniel T. Horner in turn sold the land a few months later at a profit to Henry B. Francis.

Nathaniel T. Horner and wife Joanna to Henry B. Francis 10/13/1875 $3800 (deed references a larger tract of land) Book 81/Page 521

Henry B. Francis subdivided this large tract of land and sold the 297 and 299 Kaighn Avenue lots prior to the end of 1875 to Conklin Raynor.

Henry B. Francis to Conklin Raynor 12/28/1875 $1050 Book 82/Page 429 (299 Kaighn Avenue)

Conklin Raynor appears to have built on both lots. He soon had rented 299 Kaighn to a physician, Dr. Henry H. Davis, who had a long and distinguished career in the city. The Henry H. Davis School in East Camden was named in his honor. Dr. Davis practiced medicine and conducted a drugstore at 299 Kaighn well into the 1880s. Conklin Raynor operated a tobacco shop at 297 Kaighn in the 1870s and 1880s. He also worked as a waterman on the river during the 1880s. Conklin Raynor, his wife Mary, and one of their many children, daughter Ella, were still living at 299 Kaighn Avenue as late as 1900.

Conklin Raynor and family held on to the property until July of 1906, when Becky Silverman, whose husband Max had recently died in Florida, purchased the building. By this time a building with a store on the first floor and living quarters on the second had been built there. She founded the business that still exists today, 100 years later, as Rochester Formal Wear.

In 1919 Becky Silverman married for a second time, to Meyer London, who had been in the real estate business. Meyer and Becky London retained the property until 1928 when the deed was acquired by Herman and Fannie Silverman Levin. The Levin family operated the business at 299 Kaighn Avenue through the mid 1950s, when they relocated to a property on Route 38 near Strand Avenue in Pennsauken, NJ.

Murder and Kidnaping In '75 Bared by Man Here John Roskze, Peanut Peddler of Kaighn Avenue, Tells Details of Unsolved Crime SAW MOTHER SHOT ON ILLINOIS FARM By GORDON MACKAY John Roskze sat on a tumbled bed in his squalid room at 295 Kaighn avenue yesterday to shatter a silence he says he has maintained for 63 years regarding a murder and kidnaping back in Illinois in 1875. The calm manner in which the man, now 68, reciting the details of the crimes, one resulting in the death of the narrator's mother, the other his own kidnaping, lent an additional touch of drama to the tale. John Roskze, who is known by the name of John Welch, and the latter name is a part of the sensational story, is a familiar sight in Camden. Partially blind, trembling from the infirmities of age, he has peddled his peanuts, come rain, come sun, on the streets of this city, for years past. The reason Roskze gives for lifting the veil of silence which has masked the crimes of 63 years ago is that he recently read that J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the G-men, declared all kidnaping crimes for the past 60 years and more had been cleared and the mysteries solved. Roskze, whose years of trials and vicissitudes have left him a slim stoic, almost sightless, told his tale while a companion named Jack Sutton sat silently in the corner, nodding his head in agreement to the startling and dramatic story. "My real name is John Roskze," said the elderly man, "and my father was a steamboat captain, running one of the craft on the Mississippi between Memphis and St. Louis. He also owned a farm in Moro, Ill., below Springfield, the capital. "This farm was on an island on one of the little streams that flowed into the Mississippi. Mother was in frail health and a woman did the housework, while her husband handled the farm work. Their name was Welch. Tells of Kidnaping "One day when I was five years old the woman tried to kidnap me. Mother saw her snatch me and start away, and my mother, frail as she was, battled with Mrs. Welch. Mother naturally had all the furious strength that any woman would have fighting to save her child, and was getting the better of Mrs. Welch. "Mrs. Welch had a .22-caliber derringer, which women used in the country in those days to protect themselves. Mrs. Welch fired twice, the bullets going into my mother's breast. "Mrs. Welch told me afterward, before she died, that my mother said: 'You've killed me, God take care of my child.' Welch and his wife moved away, and I didn't know until years afterward that a reward of $15,000 was offered to pay the ransom asked for my return. "Ed Welch and his wife brought me up as their own child and I didn't know anything about my real parents and the murder and kidnaping for years afterward. Welch was dying and he sent his wife out of the room, telling me he wanted me to stay behind. "When Mrs. Welch got out the dying man told me that my mother had been murdered and that my right name was Roskze. I might say that Mrs. Welch's name was Mrs. Orive Welch. She took me away after her husband died and we went to live in another place. Four Detectives Slain "Mrs. Welch afterward fell into bad company, and it seems incredible to you to believe, but she was actually responsible for the murder of four detectives. She didn't kill them but her boy friends did, two of them being named Powell and Burroughs. I know this seems unbelievable, but I learned the truth back in Illinois. "All the time that I was with the Welches I kept their name and became so well known I never changed back. "When I got to be big enough to work for myself I left Mrs. Welch and went to Terrill, Texas, which is between Dallas and Texarkana. While I was there I fell in love with a girl, we were married and went to Rollins, Wyoming, shortly after our marriage. "I worked in the car department of the Union Pacific, and if I had remained a year longer would have been eligible for a pension. The flu hit Rollins and all my family except myself died from the disease. "I decided that there was nothing further for me in the West and returned to Illinois, arriving there just about the time that Mrs. Welch took to her deathbed. I asked her about my parents and she told me the same story that her husband had told me. It was then too late to do anything about it, so I decided to let the matter drop and keep quiet. "I thought I would come East, to see what the country was like, as I had never been here before. It was easy enough to get a pass on the railroad, because I was an old railroad man and I arrived in Philadelphia. I remembered that Mrs. Welch had told me that some relatives of mine were living in New Jersey near Camden, so I came over here in 1920. "I worked for awhile, then started my own apartment house, restaurant and little candy store on Sixth street. One day I was in my store when one of the men I had come to know, named Frank Wilkie, came into the store and said: 'Charlie'—folks started to call me Charlie for some reason—'I'm going to bring a relative of yours to see you next Wednesday night.' He wouldn't tell me anything further, but kept saying that I would meet one of my relatives on Wednesday night. Met Sister Here "Sure enough that night he brought a fine-looking woman to my store, a woman about 10 years older than myself. "'This is your sister' Wilkie said, laughing. I took it as a joke, too, but the woman said she was serious. She described certain marks on her brother's body said that if I bore such marks I was most certainly her brother. "The strange feature of the whole thing was that such marks were on my body, in the exact places she said they would be found. I went to the rear of the store with a couple of fellows who were there, and let them examine me. Sure enough they found the marks. "'I'm your sister' this woman said to me, telling me her name. She said she lived near Grenloch and that she had a niece named Mrs. George Deal, who was coming in to see me later. My niece and I established our kinship and I kept up a calling friendship with her and her family until they moved away. Tells of Seance "Now the strange feature of this reunion. I asked Wilkie—I haven't the slightest idea where he is today—how he came to know my sister. He almost knocked me over, and you probably won't believe it either as few would, but he said he went to a spiritualistic seance, asked if I had any relatives and who they were. "Wilkie maintained that the medium had told him to get in touch with this woman, and she would prove to be my sister. You can take it for what it is worth, but she was my sister sure enough. She told me further about the murder of mother, how the Welches had gone away after telling the police a story of some man coming to kidnap me, and taking me away while they tried to fight to keep me. It was a lie, of course, but they got away with it in such a town as Moro. "All I know is that my real name is Roskze, that I was kidnaped, my mother was shot and killed trying to protect me." "Why didn't you reveal the story that Welch told you?" asked the reporter. "Well," said Welch, or Roskze, after a pause, "I always looked on them as my parents. You wouldn't want to turn up the woman you always felt was your mother, and why rake up the past when everything was buried when my father died. Welch was passing away and why send him to his grave with such a crime and scandal scattered all over the world?" "Well if you could keep such a secret for 63 years, why did you feel that you could reveal it now?" was the next question. "To tell you the truth," replied Welch, "I don't know. I just read that statement of Hoover's in the newspaper, so I thought that this was a good time to reveal one kidnaping in 1875, at least, outside of Charlie Ross, that hadn't been run down."

Memory of Cop Traps Suspect In '47 Holdup The photographic memory of a Camden patrolman resulted in the arrest of a man, sought since 1947 on a robbery indictment, it was disclosed Monday in municipal court. Credited with the arrest of Robert Bailey, 49, of 236 Kaighn avenue, is Patrolman Joseph Carpenter, who, detectives said, recognized Bailey Thursday night. Patrolman Carpenter, on duty with Patrolman Charles Richards, saw Bailey at Second and Sycamore streets, and asked him for identification. When Bailey produced cards bearing the name of Charles Cornish, the two officers took him to city hall. As they entered the police station, Bailey bolted and ran north on Roosevelt plaza. Patrolman Richards brought him down with a flying tackle. At his arraignment today before Municipal Judge Dzick on charges of assault and battery and resisting arrest, Detective Sgt. William Kelly testified Bailey was indicted by the 1947 May grand jury for robbing Clarence Watson, 69, of 2903 High street. Watson, who operates an auto repair shop was struck with a pipe and robbed of $400 on Jan. 10 of 1947, Kelly testified. Dzick held Bailey without bail for the grand jury.

Birch, who formerly lived on Kaighns ave., near 2nd st., was charged with the death of Zatch McGriff, 28, of 247 Mechanic st. McGriff died in West Jersey Hospital several hours after he had been admitted with slash wounds inflicted, police said, by a soda bottle. The fight took place at 233 Kaighns ave. Birch was apprehended by FBI agents last Sept. 1 in New York City. Assistant Prosecutor Robert B. Johnson said that a detainer against Birch has been lodged by Florida officials. Johnson said Birch is accused of escaping from a chain gang after serving six months of a two to three year sentence on the charge of breaking and entering.

Broadway & Kaighn Avenue

The intersection of Broadway and Kaighn Avenue was one of Camden's major commercial crossroads. The Toone & Hollinshed Department Store anchored the northwest corner from the early 1900s, later replaced by A.G. McCrory's 5 & 10 Cent Store. The fire that destroyed the Economy Store at 427 Kaighn Avenue on January 18, 1922, killed Fire Captain Martin Carrigan.

POLICE CHASE AND CAPTURE THIEVES Two Men Caught Robbing the Store of Their Employers in Camden. Another Business Place Entered and the Safe Rifled. Camden Merchants Organizing for Self-Protection—Wreckage Strews the New Jersey Coast—Explosion on a Ferryboat—Jersey Jottings. The boldness of the thieves who have been plying their vocation lately in Camden led to the arrest of two of them early yesterday morning while robbing a store. Another business place was also entered, and the safe was broken open and rifled. Policemen Lee and O'Brien followed two men down Second street about 3 o'clock, and saw them disappear in the shadow of R. T. Robinson & Co.'s packing house at Second and Pine streets. Some time afterward the men re-appeared. One had a tub of lard on his back and the other carried a bag of hams and smoked meat. They dropped the plunder when the officers gave chase, and after a hot pursuit, in which the officers fired several times at the thieves, they were captured. The prisoners were recognized as Andrew Borden and Jacob Sanders, employes of Robinson & Co. Police Justice Paul committed them in default of $800 bail each. The meat and provision store of Samuel K. Hires, at 310 Kaighn avenue, was entered by burglars early yesterday morning. The outer doors of the safe were found unlocked, and the inner doors were forced open by the thieves, who secured about $100 in currency and postage stamps. A large amount of money had been taken home by the cashier, Mr. Hires, who was absent, having the combination of the safe. The burglars stood in the glare of an electric street light in the front of the store when they rifled the drawers of the safe. Louis Konig, a storekeeper of 426 Kaighn avenue, claims to have had two visits from men who tried to rob him, but he drove them off with a revolver. The Hebrew storekeepers and merchants of Camden will meet to-morrow at 305 Kaighn avenue to organize for self-protection against thieves and marauders who have made them especially the objects of their attack lately.

Mrs Friedman's battered body was found early Monday afternoon on the living room floor of her apartment behind the shop by Paul Pallas of Maple Shade who operates the Storm Window Service at 336 Kaighns Ave. An autopsy on Tuesday revealed Mrs. Freidman had been raped, beaten and slashed about the throat. Blair M. Murphy, chief investigator for the Camden County Medical Examiners' office said the victim died from "a penetrating wound of her neck." Police said she was found naked on the floor of her ransacked apartment after a customer went to the shop, got no response and summoned Pallas to the scene.

ANGRY SUITOR SHOOTS WOMAN, KILLS SELF Joseph Broadway Wounds Mrs. Lydia Harris After Advances Are Rejected Angered because Mrs. Lydia Harris, 35 years old, who has a furnished room house at 512 Kaighn avenue, Camden, refused to return his affection, Joseph Broadway, 53 years old, of the same address, yesterday afternoon sent a bullet into the woman's head over the left eye. He then turned the weapon on himself, sending a bullet into his own head over the left ear. At the Cooper Hospital, where both were sent by Detective Brothers, it was stated the woman will likely recover. The disappointed admirer died shortly after his admission. For some time, it is asserted by the police, the man had been living with Mrs. Harris, although she did not give him any great encouragement. When yesterday afternoon he suggested that she marry him, she refused such an offer. Then he asked her to take a sociable drink with him. This she also refused. Then, walking toward the woman and drawing a revolver, Broadway said: "Well, we might as well leave the world together." At that he deliberately shot the woman before she could get to a place of safety and when she fell he sent a bullet into his own head. Policeman Brothers was about to board a trolley car a short distance away when he heard the shots. He went to the house and found the man and woman in the kitchen, both of whom he had taken to the hospital at once. Broadway was employed at the New York Shipbuilding Company's plant and is said to come from Chesapeake City, Md. According to the police, Mrs. Harris is separated from her husband.

Police Raid Five Camden Places in Weekend Cleanup of Rum Sellers LIQUOR IS SEIZED AND PROPRIETORS HELD FOR HEARING Four Alleged Speakeasies Downtown and One in East End Visited PATRONS ARE 'SLATED' Police raided five alleged disorderly houses over the week-end, seizing whisky in four South Camden places and arresting ten men in an East Camden dwelling. Early yesterday a squad of Third district police descended upon the home of Mrs. Carrie Becker, 38, at 1245 North Thirty-third street. With ten men arrested as material witnesses, she was committed to the city jail in default of $500 bail to await arraignment in police court today. The men are Joseph Backer, Jr., 22; Harry E. Renders, of National Park; Charles Luers, 27, of 612 North Second street; George W. Rush, 25, of 3337 Farragut avenue; Joseph Benson, 21, and Charles Benson, 17, of 2132 Watson street; Edward Marshman, 21, of 20 Morse street; John Ferall, 25, of Maple Shade; John Grogan, 20, of 1028 North Twenty-second street, and Charles Dudley, 23, of 1012 North Third street. The South Camden raids were made by Lieut. Ralph Bakley, Detectives Vernon Jones and Thomas Cheeseman and Patrolman Marshall Thompson. The first place visited was the home of George Thomas, 44, colored, at 134 Clinton street. Police said they confiscated five gallons of whisky and 100 bottles of home brew. James Williams, 44, colored, of 519 South Second street, was arrested in his home and a small quantity of whisky taken. John B. Simons, 36, proprietor of a cigar store at 207 Clinton street, was arrested and a small quantity of whisky taken. Six one-gallon jugs of alleged whisky were seized in the grocery of Samuel Arnow, 45, at 534 Kaighn avenue. All four men were released in $100 bail each on charges of allowing disorderly persons to congregate on their premises.

HOT TIME IN THE FLATS. A Colored Joint on Kaighn Avenue Raided by the Police. A good part of the colored population of South Camden crowded into the Mayor's Court this morning to hear the case of Rosie Woolford, colored, whose house was raided Saturday night as being disorderly. The house is No. 624 Kaighn avenue and is one of a number known as "New York Flats." Scores of complaints have been made against the resort, by neighbors, and on Saturday a warrant was issued by the Mayor. Accordingly, shortly after midnight, Policemen Brouthers, Sayres, Sage and Butts swooped down upon the house, and captured Rosie, the proprietress, Mame Fortie, Bertha Bastian, Susie Quinn, all colored, and Charles Brunner, a white man, and sent them to the Hall. This morning when arraigned before the Mayor, Rosie pleaded not guilty. The testimony of the police against the woman was very strong, however. Officer Sage said that one night, he was called in the house on five different occasions, to quell disturbances. He further stated that if an intoxicated man was caught by the inmates they would lure him into the house, rob him and then kick him out. Rosie's bail was fixed at $800 and the others were held as witnesses.

LAST EDITION THEY SAY THAT JORDAN DID IT The Coroner's Jury Hold Him Responsible. CORONER TOMLINSON IN CHARGE. Lawyer Semple Was Unceremoniously Sat On—Susan Eldridge Heard a Woman Cry "Murder"—Catharine Simmons Heard the Pistol Shot. Coroner Tomlinson conducted the inquest this morning in the case of Lizzie Copelaine, who was murdered in her store, 620 Kaighn avenue, on Thursday last. County Physician Iszard testified to being notified of the murder and visiting the scene, where he found Mrs. Copelaine's body lying on the floor with a bullet wound in her right breast. He made a post mortem examination, assisted by Dr. Alex. McAllister, and found the bullet had passed through the lungs and severed the pulmonary artery, lodging at the juncture of the sixth rib. It was his opinion that the woman met a violent death. Dr. McAllister corroborated County Physician Iszard's testimony in regards to the post mortem examination. Lieutenant of Police John S. Smith next took the stand. He testified that he was notified that a murder had been committed on Kaighn avenue last Thursday. With Chief of Police Davis, after obtaining a discription of the murderer, he made a search for the murderer. They tracked the man to Gloucester where he was arrested in a barn. He gave the name of Charles Jordan. After being locked up in the Camden City Hall where two other colored men were locked up on suspicion of committing the crime, Jordan said, "Let them go, for I did it." Howard Cramer, a small boy, was called to testify, and as he was about to take the oath, Lawyer Semple who represented Jordan, arose, and addressing the coroner said, "I have no objection to this boy testifying." Coroner Tomlinson replied, "You have nothing to do with this." When Mr. Semple attempted to offer an explanation he was ordered to sit down. The boy testified to seeing a colored man whom he did not know, shoot Mrs. Copelaine. James Kelly testified to having lost his revolver on the day the crime was committed and afterwards being told that Jordan had stolen it. He recognized the weapon as his, which was found at the scene of the murder, when it was shown to him by the police the next day. He was shown the bullet taken from Mrs. Copelaine's breast and said it was the size his pistol carried. George Jones, a colored bootblack, was called, and said he know nothing of the case, but pocketed the half-dollar witness fee with a broad grin. Susan Eldridge, also colored, was called but could throw but little light on the case

Camden Man Held In Store Beating Of Aged Widow Suspect's Police Record Started at Age of 9 Years A Camden man with a record of arrests since he was nine years old is being held by Camden police today charged with the near fatal beating of Mrs. Rachel Weiner on Oct. 1. Woodley Rex Snyder, 26, of 737 Kaighn ave., was booked Wednesday night in police headquarters on a charge of atrocious assault and battery with intent to kill after he allegedly admitted the savage beating of Mrs. Weiner in a small candy store she operates at 763 Kaighn ave. Her condition remains critical at Cooper Hospital. Snyder "surrendered meekly" and was arrested at 6.15 p. m. Wednesday at the parsonage of the Rev. George Nicholas, 823 Walnut st., pastor of the Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, Ann and Sycamore sts. Police said Snyder lived at the parsonage until Sept. 11. Convinced by Pastor Detective Sgt. Vincent Conley and Detective Clifford Del Rossi, who had worked around-the-clock since the beating in an effort to capture Mrs. Weiner's assailant, made the arrest. The detectives said the Rev. Mr. Nicholas cooperated with police and had convinced Snyder he should give himself up. Police Chief Koerner said Snyder "admitted hitting Mrs. Weiner on the head seven or eight times" with the butt of a .25-calibre automatic pistol. The blood-stained pistol and a blood-stained jacket and pair of pants, recovered during the investigation, are being sent to (Continued on Page 15—Column 2) Man Held (Continued from Page One) Trenton for examination at the State Police laboratory. Lived With Brother Detective Capt. Thomas Murphy disclosed how suspicion fell on Snyder. "Snyder and a roommate, William Spearman, lived at the home of Snyder's brother, Julius, on Kaighn ave., Murphy stated. "Spearman told police that some of his clothing was missing. A search of the room revealed bloodstained clothing, which Spearman said must belong to Snyder. "Further search disclosed a .25 calibre revolver under a mattress and Spearman said this did not belong to him and must be Snyder's. Snyder's brother backed up Spearman on identification of the clothing." Conley and Del Rossi quoted Snyder as saying: "I had no motive. I walked into the store to get something to eat and she walked toward me. A feeling came over me." The detectives said Snyder admitted having the gun in his possession, but denied that he entered the store planning a hold-up. Snyder was quoted as saying: "If I needed money, I could get it this way." Snyder's trail after the beating led from Camden to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Rockville Center, L. I.; back to Philadelphia, to Camden, to Philadelphia, to Washington, to Baltimore, to Philadelphia and then to Camden Wednesday when he was arrested. Eluded Pursuers Detectives were on Snyder's trail continually and missed him by less than an hour in Baltimore. Conley and Del Rossi traced him to an uncle's home in Baltimore, but Snyder at the same time was in an aunt's home in the same city, where he allegedly stole $12, according to detectives. According to detectives, Snyder served time continually from the time he was nine years old until he was 20. In 1942 he was sentenced to Jamesburg on five charges of breaking, entering and larceny, and served additional time for escape. Agrees to Surrender Detectives said Snyder returned to Camden at 4 a. m. Wednesday after telephoning the Rev. Mr. Nicholas, who pleaded with him to give himself up, from Philadelphia. Detectives quoted the preacher as saying Snyder told him he'd "rather be shot walking down the street than return to prison." The Rev. Mr. Nicholas fed him and after continued pleadings Snyder "told him to call police," Conley said. Snyder was first aware that he was wanted by police when he visited an aunt in Rockville, L. I., on Monday.

CAMDEN'S HEAT VICTIMS A Woman Found Dead in Bed and Several Persons Prostrated. The heat in Camden yesterday killed Mrs. Kate McAllister, 29 years old, of 587 Clinton street, and prostrated Charles Thompson, 60 years old, of 503 Arch street; James Peterson, of 927 Kaighn's avenue, and Stewart Bakely, of Third and Cherry streets. Mrs. McAllister had complained of the heat for three days, and when she retired on Tuesday night she felt quite ill. Her husband awoke at 2 o'clock yesterday morning and found her dead in bed by his side. Charles Thompson, who is an eccentric character, formerly known as "the Mayor," started from his home for a walk shortly before noon and fell exhausted to the pavement in front of the County Court House not a square away. He was removed to his home, and is in a serious condition.

Cafe Man Bares Embarrasment At Closing Order Even a saloonkeeper can be embarrassed. So Peter Krause, 35, who operates a saloon at 1058 Kaighn avenue, told Police Judge Lewis Liberman before whom he had been arraigned on a charge of disorderly conduct. Krause, who had been arrested by Policeman Charles Smith shortly after 2 a. m. yesterday, said that he was embarrassed by the officer's demand that he clear his place of patrons when the 2 a. m. deadline was reached. He complained that Smith was "picking on him" because his bartender had refused to set up drinks for the policeman. After he was warned to close his place promptly in the early morning hours, Krause become indignant and departed for police headquarters to report Smith, whom he says has a grudge against him. Smith followed him and arrested him on the disorderly conduct charge. The policeman testified that Krause "thinks he is a big-shot politician and is always threatening to have me moved off the beat." The case was dismissed by Judge Liberman, who declared that there was not sufficient evidence.

De Sanctis Dies in Parked Car, Pal Wounded

DE SANCTIS DIES IN PARKED CAR, PAL WOUNDED Police Character Arrested in Night Slaying of Grand Jury Witness VICTIM SPURNED TIP TO KEEP ALIVE IN JAIL Camden police early today arrested a Delaware township ex-convict for investigation in the slaying last night of Romeo DeSanctis, star witness against suspects in the recent Casablanca roadhouse holdup. DeSanctis, released in bail last week as a material witness to the holdup, was killed as he sat with a companion in a parked car, a few hours after he testified before the grand jury in connection with the holdup. The companion, Leon Grenkwicz, a well-known police character, is in critical condition in West Jersey hospital from bullet wounds of the face. He walked three blocks to the hospital from the scene of the shooting on Mt. Ephraim avenue near Kaighn. Warned to Stay In Jail Joseph C. Putek, 35, who has a record of 12 arrests and several convictions on charges that include holdup and robbery, was taken into custody today at his home on Fulton street by Captain Koerner and Detective Carr, of the Camden police. He was booked on suspicion and for investigation. He insisted he was in Philadelphia when DeSanctis was shot. Prosecutor Mariano said DeSanctis was killed because he testified before the grand jury. Released from jail when his bail was reduced from $50,000 to $7000 as a result of a writ obtained by his family, DeSanctis met a fate feared by the authorities, Mariano revealed. "I told him he had better stay in custody," the prosecutor said. "I warned him he might be killed." "Let Us Have It" Grenkwicz, conscious in the hospital, told police he and DeSanctis were seated in his car, facing north. He said a large, dark colored sedan drew alongside and just ahead of his car. A man holding a gun, Grenkwicz said, leaned out of the window and "let us have it." Police said the weapon was either a machinegun or a sawed-off shotgun with extra large buck shot as ammunition. "I was a damned fool to be with DeSanctis," Grenkwicz added. The left side of DeSanctis' head, police said, was nearly blown off. Grenkwicz was struck in the face and left hand. Slugs Rip Through Auto Slugs tore through the left door and window, the windshield and hood of the car and some struck a plate glass window of a bakery at 1212 Mt. Ephraim avenue, directly behind the car. The killers' car continued north on Mt. Ephraim avenue, turned east on Kaighn avenue and disappeared. A police alarm description of the auto was broadcast immediately. The shooting occurred 80 yards from an alleged speakeasy DeSanctis is said to have operated on Mt. Ephraim avenue and only about 300 yards from Cappy's Restaurant, 1105 Kaighn avenue, where Stephen Burns, now under arrest as a suspect in the roadhouse holdup, was employed as night manager. Burns was arrested Feb. 14 as he left the restaurant. Patrolman Oliver Morgan reported he saw DeSanctis in the restaurant between 6 and 6.30 p. m. last night. Prosecutor Mariano immediately ordered police to obtain the names of all persons in the eating house yesterday. Mariano said Grenkwicz denied he was in the restaurant. Charles Cook, a city fireman, of 1142 Mt. Ephraim avenue, near Kaighn avenue, ran to the scene (Continued on Page 2--Column 4) (Continued from Page One) from his home after hearing the shooting. Cook and four employes, two women and two men, of Cappy's restaurant, made statements last night in Mariano's office, where county, city and state police assembled to coordinate their investigation. "Cappy" Roman, proprietor of the restaurant, later was questioned. Roman, police said, told them both DeSanctis and Grenkwicz ate dinner in his place last night about 6 o'clock. Freed in $7000 Bail DeSanctis, who lived at 1351 Decatur street, was released about 10 days ago in $7000 bail as a material witness in the Casablanca holdup. The roadhouse was held up at 2.55 a. m. Feb. 27 when five masked bandits herded 50 or 60 patrons into the kitchen and robbed them of their money and emptied the club cash registers. Leaving the roadhouse, the bandits singled out DeSanctis and ordered him to accompany them as a hostage. When they reached the outside, however, they were fired upon by Delaware township policeman Power. DeSanctis dropped to the ground as the bandits escaped in a waiting car, which had been spotted by the policeman. DeSanctis was arrested later in the day and held incommunicado for seven days before he was arraigned as a material witness and held in $50,000 bail. DeSanctis' family later obtained a writ of habeas corpus and subsequently he was released in $7000 bail. Meanwhile, police arrested Burns, Leonard Lutz and James McBride, all ex-convicts, as suspects in the robbery. McBride Brought to Camden McBride was lodged in a cell in Camden jail today after being extradited from Philadelphia. Extradition proceedings were delayed by an application in his behalf for a writ of habeas corpus, but at a hearing on the writ before Judge Brown in Philadelphia this morning, the suspect's attorney, Louis F. McCabe, withdrew the writ after stating identification had been established for extradition purposes. McBride then was turned over to Mariano and County Detectives Mulligan and Dube and brought to Camden. Burns and Lutz are in the county jail awaiting action of the grand jury. It was reported that testimony given the grand jury yesterday by DeSanctis was for the purpose of obtaining indictments against Burns and Lutz. Grenkwicz, who gave his address as 118 Pershing road, Brooklawn, has a long police record including holdup and robbery. He was arrested in 1933 as a suspect in the $11,000 holdup of the Radio Condenser Co. Police Study Bullet Holes in Death Car THE PATTERN OF BULLETS which killed one man and critically wounded another at Mt. Ephraim avenue near Kaighn last night is shown on the left side of the death car, being examined by Patrolman Andruzza. Romeo (Rocco) DeSanctis, left, was slain shortly after appearing before the grand jury in connection with the Casablanca Roadhouse holdup. Leon Grenkwicz, also shown, was wounded critically as they sat in Grenkwicz' car. The even row of bullet holes directly under the window indicates a machinegun was used in the murder. The shots through the upper part of the car were made by shotgun blasts, detectives said.

Youth Is Killed As Three 'Skip' School to Hunt

YOUTH IS KILLED AS THREE 'SKIP' SCHOOL TO HUNT Boy Shot in Head When Companion Fires at Quail GUN TRAGEDY OCCURS IN PENNSAUKEN TWP. Three South Camden Lads Quizzed By Cops and Prosecutor A hunting expedition by three Camden boys ended tragically today when one, in firing a shotgun at a rising quail, killed a second who suddenly placed himself between the muzzle of the weapon and the target. The dead boy was Theodore Jakucki, 14, of 1207 Whitman avenue. The youth said by the police to have fired the shot that killed the Jakucki boy is Meyer Albert, 16, of 1186 Kaighn avenue. With him was Leon Grenkwicz, 15, of 1469 Louis street. According to the story told the Pennsauken police, the three "hookeyed" school today and left early on a shooting trip. They made their way out Marlton pike to the old Welch farm. Borrowed Gun Used Grenkwicz said he had borrowed a shotgun belonging to his brother, Constant, 19. Albert was carrying the gun and Jakucki was walking in the lead when the quail suddenly took to the air with a whirr of wings. Jakucki stooped suddenly either to pick up something or to tie his shoe. With the discharge of the gun he straightened up and received the full charge in his head, which was partly blown away. Another gunner, whose name was not obtained, appeared as Jakucki fell to the ground. The boys asked him to send somebody to get the youth to a hospital. The Pennsauken township police were summoned and the body was removed to police headquarters. The body was examined by Coroner Melvin Cain. The two boys with Constant Grenkwicz were taken to the office of Prosecutor Baldwin by Detective Flore Troncone, who questioned them. They told the same story they had told the Pennsauken police. Word to Family Delayed Although the tragedy occurred before 10 a. m. and although Albert and the Grenkwicz brothers were taken to the prosecutor's office before 11 o'clock the family of the dead boy had not been informed of what had happened until shortly before noon. Then, a reporter, seeking a picture of Jakucki, sought out the correct address which until then had not been obtained, and found the family ignorant of Theodore's death. The reporter asked if the home was that of Theodore. "Yes, but don't worry," said Mrs. Jakucki, "he's in school all right." The woman thought the reporter was a truant officer. Members of the family, who had been awaiting the preparation of the noon-day meal, had been laughing and singing and listening to the radio. When the reporter asked for the picture the others crowded about to know what had happened. The reporter said merely that the boy had been hurt and that someone ought to go to the office of the prosecutor. The dead boy's family includes his mother and fahter, three sisters, Viola, 19, Lucy, 5, and Helen, 4, and two brothers, Joseph, 13, and Sigmund, 12. Theodore was a first-year student in the Camden Vocational School, where he was studying to be an automobile mechanic. Albert and the Grenkwiczs boys were released by the prosecutor after statements had been obtained from them.

October 13, 1979 Camden honors heroics of firemen CAMDEN — Three city firefighters were cited yesterday for outstanding service for rescuing an 8-month-old girl last July 10 from a burning bedroom at 1482 Kaighns Ave. A fire department spokesman said the child, Iagia Ingram, was not breathing due to smoke inhalation when taken from a middle second-floor bedroom by firefighter Michael Galasso. Galasso, who received the department's distinguished service award, performed mouth-to-mouth resusitation and revived the infant. Also cited in ceremonies, presided over by chief Theodore Primas, were firefighter Russell Chandler and Capt. Robert Van Istendal. Engine Company No. 7 received a unit citation and Raymond McClintock, deputy director of the city's Public Works Department, received the Citizen's Certification of Commendation for special services performed in the past. The ceremony highlighted Fire Prevention Week, which ends today.

Polack Joe Out on Bail Despite Murder Charge

Camden Courier-Post, April 4, 1928.

Courier-Post column on Joseph Devon released on bail in a Camden murder case, April 4, 1928
Camden Courier-Post, April 4, 1928.
View transcription
Although still technically charged with murder, Joseph ("Polack Joe") Devon was released from the Camden county jail last Thursday under $2,500 bail, it was learned today. It is generally known around the Camden courthouse that Devon has been indicted for manslaughter, but the grand jury will not make its presentment in the case to Judge Samuel M. Shay until tomorrow afternoon. "It seems very unusual," Judge Shay commented today when information reached him that Devon had been released on bail. "The court usually leaves these matters to the prosecutor, who is thus authorized to fix bail. Otherwise, the court would be constantly interrupted by bail applications. Murder Unbailable "As a rule, murder is an unbailable charge. The fact that it was reported that the grand jury had indicted Devon for manslaughter can have no bearing on the point. I cannot see how the prosecutor or whoever fixed bail could have known what the grand jury's presentment was to be when that presentment will not be made until tomorrow. The grand jury can reconsider and change its indictment at any time before making that presentment." Explanation of the unusual action came today from Walter Keown, county solicitor and attorney for Devon, and from Joseph Varbalow, assistant prosecutor. It was Varbalow who fixed bail. Prosecutor Ethan P. Wescott stated that he knew nothing of the action until he heard of it from newspaper men today. Shot in Argument Devon was arrested on January 14 and charged with the murder of Joseph Cimini, known also as Joe Gannon, of 1301 Ellsworth street, Philadelphia. The fatal shooting took place at the Sixth Ward Republican Club, 90[?] Broadway, where a crap game is reported to have been in progress. Devon, a Republican organization political worker, declares that he shot Cimini when the latter attacked him with the butt of a revolver. According to witnesses who made statements to detectives, the shooting occurred after an argument which Cimini and Mose Flannery, another political worker, are declared to have started with Charles "Chick Hunt," former pugilist and one of those who was in the club at the time of the slaying. Read Newspaper Report "I read in the paper that the grand jury was reported to have indicted Devon for manslaughter," Keown said. "I knew that manslaughter was a bailable charge. I went to Mr. Varbalow and he fixed bail, as he also had read of the reported manslaughter indictment." Varbalow corroborated this statement. Bail for Devon was furnished in cash by James Lewis of 60[?] Kaighn avenue and accepted by Sheriff Walter T. Gross on the order signed by Varbalow. Warden Ed Powell said today he had been occupied at the county workhouse at Lakeland and did not know of Devon's release under bail until today. It was last Tuesday that witnesses in the case went before the grand jury and it was last Wednesday that the Evening Courier published the widely-circulated report that the grand jury had found an indictment for manslaughter, which Keown and Varbalow say was the reason for the granting of bail.

Gangster Shot as Racketeers Open War Here

GANGSTER SHOT AS RACKETEERS OPEN WAR HERE Gloucester Man Near Death After Attack at Broadway and Kaighn Avenue FELLED NEAR QUARTERS OF CAMDEN GAMBLERS Brother of Frank Doris Accused After Police Round up 10 Men In Gang Shooting JOHN DORIS Brother of Frank Doris, who was electrocuted for murder in connection with the Olney Bank robbery. John Doris is under arrest for shooting an alleged racketeer here yesterday. Shooting of an alleged racketeer at Broadway and Kaighn avenue, near the threshold of one of South Jersey's notorious reputed gambling joints, threw Camden police into renewed warfare on gangdom yesterday. Like the shots that riddled Hughy McLoon, the dwarfed Philadelphia hunchback—shots that blew off the lid off Philadelphia vice and police corruption—those that echoed in the recognized rendezvous of Camden gangdom promised to have far-reaching effects. The victim was Joseph Connors, 28, of 135 North Broadway, Gloucester, alleged beer racketeer. With a bullet in his lungs and another in his abdomen, he was conceded "an even chance" to live at West Jersey Homeopathic Hospital last night John Doris, 24, brother of Frank Doris, who died in the electric chair for murder during the Olney Bank holdup, is under arrest charged with the shooting. A roundup by a special squad of detectives immediately following the shooting resulted in the arrest of 10 men, among them some well-known gangsters and racketeers. All were held in bail as material witnesses. Those netted in the roundup and the bail demanded follow: Russell Sage, 426 Mechanic street, several times suspected in Camden gang shootings, held without bail for trying to help Doris escape; James "Jimmie" Toland, former Philadelphia pugilist and now operator of the Nonpariel Club, $2500 bail; Joseph Simms, cook in the Nonpariel Club $500 bail; Charles Riehm, 1051 Haddon avenue, manager of the club. William Kelly, alias Leo Morton, 425 Van Hook street, $500; Harry Selah, 1240 South Third street, a spectator who named Doris as the assailant, $500; William J. Merrick, 1128 Liberty street, $2500; Lorenzo Cole, 920 Jefferson avenue, $500; Ernest Matsius, 506 Kaighn avenue, $500; Leo McKenna, 426 Mt. Vernon street, $500. Motive in Doubt Motive for the shooting was so tangled in the mazes of gangland's intrigues of love, avarice and rivalry that police confessed they were unable to fathom it. Gangland's glib explanation was that Doris and Connors quarreled over change for a $5 bill in the Nonpariel Club, Second and Kaighn avenue several hours before the shooting. The shooting took place in front of the American Restaurant, 506 Kaighn avenue after the two men had engaged in a bitter quarrel at a table inside. Other patrons saw both arise and punch viciously. Doris suffered severe cuts on the face in the exchange. Then the fighters walked out to the street to finish the battle. But as Connors raised his hands, the other pulled a pistol and began firing at point-blank range. Connors screamed and ran back toward the restaurant with Doris, the pistol still in readiness, in pursuit. Shot Shatters Pane Three shots were fired. One crashed through a window of the United Shoe Repair Shop on the opposite side of the street at 505 Kaighn avenue. In his haste to escape, Connors lunged through the glass panel of the restaurant door, cutting his hands and face. The wounded man ran through the kitchen into Amber street at the rear. Doris pursued him as far as Broadway, but turned from the chase when a group of pedestrians ran toward him. Connors collapsed near the corner as he cried "Get the wagon. I'm shot." Sage, the suspect denied bail, tried to put the fugitive board a Philadel- (Continued on Page Three) Racketeer Shot in Gang Outbreak (Continued from Page One) phia-Pitman bus, police said, but the driver refused to take him as passenger because he said he was not permitted to make stops in Gloucester, where Sage asked the driver to discharge Doris. Meanwhile available detectives and patrolmen were hurried to the scene. When the search ended Doris had been in a cell in Camden police headquarters several hours as a "drunk." Picked Up as Drunk He was "sent in" by Policeman Joseph Leonhardt after telling an incoherent story of "bumping off a guy." Leonhardt sized him up as helplessly drunk and arrested him near the Nonpareil Club less than 30 minutes after the shooting. It was not until later, when Doris' friends, a woman among them, called police headquarters for news of him. All asked for him by his right name except the woman. She asked first for Doris and then for "John King." This was the alias Doris gave when "slated." He was questioned in his cell by Detective Sergeant Samuel Johnson, but it was not until he actually was identified as the assailant that police were certain they had the right man. As Detectives Koerner, Cheesman, Carpani, McGrath and Troncone continued to bring suspects into headquarters for questioning, Selah, one of those arrested near the scene of the shooting, was asked as a detective pointed to Doris: "Is that the man?" Selah nodded. Doris Record Bad Doris has a criminal record that dates back to his school days. Once, Judge James E. Gorman, Philadelphia, told him he was headed for the electric chair—an end that looms as a distinct possibility. Doris also was suspected in the murder of Joseph (Mose) Flannery, in Kaighn avenue, between Front and Second streets, a few doors from the Nonpareil Club. So far as Camden authorities were able to determine last night, Connors has no police record. He has been linked, they said, to a beer racket and is known as a frequenter of gambling joints, police said, but local records show no mark against him. Machine Gun Holds Mystery Two mysterious elements stand out to further baffle scrutiny of the motives behind the shooting. One is the sudden closing of two South Camden gambling joints—one in a second floor room in Broadway, below Kaighn avenue and the other at Tenth street and Kaighn avenue. These places, both operating at full blast, closed their doors on Friday without an explanation that could be reconciled with the circumstances. The other mysterious touch to yesterday's affair was an apparently well-authenticated report that police arrested a man in a car with a machine gun. Efforts to learn the identity of this man were fruitless. Speculation concerning the closing of the gambling houses jumped from rumors of a war of rival gamblers, to warnings of a holdup or of a police raid. Paraphernalia was removed from both places and sentries posted to spread discreet warnings for patrons to keep away. The place at Tenth street and Kaighn avenue was closed by police three months ago. Its reopening was unexplained. The shooting spurred police officials to what Chief Lewis Stehr declared would be a wholesale cleanup of South Camden's hangouts, and gaming dens. "Orders went out three months ago," said Stehr "to clamp on the lid. We have been working hard to keep it on. This shooting may have no significance in itself, but it stresses the need to wipe out the practice of carrying weapons." Extra details of plain clothesmen were on duty in the Kaighn avenue district last night, Stehr announced. Supreme Court Justice Frank T. Lloyd, Merchantville, recently appointed to serve the district including Camden, declared he intends to review the facts in yesterday's shooting to determine if his intervention in alleged Camden racketeering is warranted. Justice Lloyd's charge to the April grand jury demanding a curb on the carrying of firearms and asking a campaign to curb the influx of Philadelphia criminals into South Jersey, caused widespread anticipation of a general review of vice conditions here. Commissioner David S. Boone, director of public safety, said the police department "has its hands full" in attempting to execute orders for a cleanup he issued some months ago. He declared he issued special orders yesterday to Chief Stehr as a result of the most recent shooting. But he declined to disclose their purport. The shooting was subject of a lengthy conference of the county's law-enforcement officers in the prosecutor's office. Lawrence T. Doran, chief of county detectives and Rocco Palese, assistant prosecutor, refused to comment on the possible effect the shooting might have on demands for a review of conditions here. Doran, who entered the investigation on orders of the prosecutor's office, attempted unsuccessfully to induce the wounded man to name his assailant. He permitted Conn[?]r's brother, Raymond, to see Joseph, hoping that the brother would aid him. Instead, Raymond walked to his brother's side and whispered: "Don't say a word. Keep your mouth shut." Doran arrested him immediately as a material witness.

FIRE ENGINE WRECKED; FOUR FIREMEN HURT Chemical Apparatus Overturned While Answering an Alarm in Camden Four Camden firemen were injured yesterday by the overturning of chemical engine No. 2 while responding to an alarm of fire at Front street and Kaighn avenue. The victims are: Foreman Charles H. Robinson, breast bone broken, severely bruised about the head, shoulders and hips. William Rose, right wrist and elbow sprained, and cut over the eye. Samuel Price, severely bruised about the body. Peter Carter, driver, bruised about the head and arms. Smoke issuing from the ruins of Wisson, Harbison & Co.'s stables, at 1135 South Front street, which were burned several days ago, caused the alarm to be turned in. Chemical Engine Company No. 2 was dashing down Kaighn avenue when the front wheels of the engine caught in a switch of the trolley car tracks at Second street. The switch twisted the engine around so that it was overturned on its side. All four firemen were thrown violently to the asphalt pavement, but fortunately escaped falling beneath the three-ton engine, or they would have been crushed to death. Fireman Rose was hurried to Cooper Hospital, and, after having his injuries dressed, was taken home. It was not until he returned to the engine house that Foreman Robinson found he was injured internally. He also went to Cooper Hospital, but is now confined to his home. The engine was so badly damaged that it had to be sent to the repair shop. The fire did no damage.

Police Seek 'Break' in Sadowski Death

Camden Courier-Post, December 2, 1945

POLICE SEEK 'BREAK' IN SADOWSKI DEATH Vengeance by Quinn and Doublecross Seen as Likely Motives Police today were hopeful of a "lucky break" which might help them to solve the slaying of Mitchell Sadowski, 27-year-old ex-convict shot to death here Friday midnight. While they were following up every clue, however meagre, the investigators admitted they were without any definite leads to the identity of the killer. Local and county detectives were investigating the possibility that Sadowski was killed by or on orders of Mickey Quinn, recently escaped holdup man, or by someone else in reprisal for a recent $1800 holdup allegedly perpetrated by Sadowski. Sadowski was killed by shotgun blasts through the right eye, head and side as he left the Camden Pottery plant, Mt. Vernon and Orchard streets, where he was employed as a kiln operator. Doublecross Suspected City Detective Thomas Murphy said he had been informed Sadowski had held up a Camden sportsman and robbed him of $1800 which the latter won in a dice game. Murphy also said he was investigating the possibility Sadowski was killed in reprisal for that job as well as the alternative that Sadowski may have doublecrossed the Quinn mob in giving information on the Casablanca roadhouse holdup. Sadowski has a criminal record dating back to 1933, when, at the age of 14, he was arrested for auto theft and attempted robbery of a chain store. He was out on probation and parole from a sentence for the $4119 holdup of the First National Bank of Marlton when on June 14, 1939, he was picked up by Detective Gus Pfleiderer in a stolen car. Pfleiderer walked up to Sadowski as he was sitting in the parked car on Kaighn avenue near Mt. Ephraim avenue. As Pfleiderer walked up to him, Sadowski attempted to escape. Pfleiderer drew his gun and warned Sadowski he would shoot. 'Go Ahead, Kill Me' "Go ahead and shoot and kill me," the parolee answered, according to Pfleiderer. "I'd rather be killed than go back to state prison." Pfleiderer said Sadowski threw away a pair of dark glasses and tried to hide a flashlight as he was awaiting the patrol car. Police records show Sadowski has been involved in at least four holdup and robbery arrests and a series of attempted burglaries. Detectives said they fear other Camden police characters and one from Philadelphia may meet Sadowski's fate if his killers are not located quickly. One of the men said to be 'on the spot' is Leon Grenkwicz, 30, of Bellmawr, who was shot March 22, 1945, when Romeo De Sanctis, star witness in the Casablanca robbery, was slain by gang guns. Grenkwicz recovered from the shooting but police have not been able to locate him since.

GIVES MEDAL TO VETERAN FIREMAN One of the happiest men in Camden is Engineer John A. Dold, who to-day retired on a pension after twenty-five years of faithful service in the Camden Fire Department. To-day the "boys" at No. 7 Engine Company, where Dold was stationed as engineer for several years, presented him with a handsome gold medal as a mark of their esteem and respect. The medal is suitably inscribed with Mr. Dold's name and his history in the department. On the reverse side is an engraved fire engine in action. The medal is a very fine example of the engraver's art. He was also presented with a silk American flag. Fireman William Peters presented the flag and medal. The affair was a great surprise to Dold. He spoke with feeling when he thanked the firemen. As "Gus" took his departure from the fire house the alarm box sounded a farewell. He placed the flag on his shoulder and with the medal pinned on his chest he marched proudly out Kaighn avenue as the boys gave him a rousing send-off. William Buzine succeeds Dold as engineer at No. 7 Engine Company. Robert Whitley succeeds Buzine at No. 5 Engine Company and Arthur Wingate will be travelling engineer.

Suspected Sniper Charges Frameup by ‘Real Phantom’

Suspected Sniper Charges Frameup by 'Real Phantom', Camden Courier-Post, February 13, 1928
Camden Courier-Post, February 13, 1928
View transcription
Admitting that he is the man for whom Camden police searched for four days after receipt of an anonymous letter declaring him to be South Jersey's "phantom sniper," Eugene Marshall, 21 years old, of 404 Jasper street, today charged that he was the victim of a plot by an enemy he suspects as being the real "ghost gunner." Young Marshall, a former taxicab driver, was found by an Evening Courier reporter to whom he voiced his suspicions regarding the writer of the "tip-off note" now in possession of Detective Captain John Golden. "I want to see that letter," Marshall declared. "I understand that it's printed, but just the same I think I'd recognize who did it. If it's the man I think it is, I'll tell his name and they can question him." Thinks Enemy Is Sniper The letter, which Captain Golden received ten days ago, was signed "A Gunman." "That's just what this fellow is," was Marshall's assertion. "and I think he's the sniper and is trying to put the blame on me." It was after Captain Golden received the anonymous letter, purporting to be a "tip" on the identity of the sniper, that city detectives watched vainly for four days in the vicinity of Fourth and Jasper streets. "If you want to catch him," the letter stated, "follow this letter and see the sniper come out of a house on Jasper street at 7 o'clock Wednesday night near a saloon corner. He will have on a dark coat and light pants and is about 5 feet 11 inches tall with a cap pulled over his eyes." The description exactly fits Marshall. "Sure, I'm the fellow that letter meant," Marshall said. "But I'm no more the sniper than you are. I'm pretty sure I know who wrote the letter, though, and I think he's the sniper. According to the paper, the letter ended up with the words 'Till we meet again.' Well, those are the same words this fellow used to me when I left him the last time we were together." Shot Hits Fire-Alarm Box Perhaps the "sniper" or perhaps some imitator of his activities today fired a bullet or some similar missile through the glass key-window of a fire-alarm box at Kaighn avenue and Hyde Park. It was the twenty-seventh incident of the sort since Thanksgiving Day, bullets and other missiles having been flung previously through auto windshields, and windows of doors of stores and dwellings in Camden, Collingswood, Audubon, Gloucester and Delair. Police Sergeant Walter Mattison was notified of the drilling of the fire alarm box glass at 11:30 o'clock this morning. The hole in the glass was described by police as being one which appeared to have been caused by a .22 calibre bullet. No bullet or other missile was found and no one in the neighborhood, among those questioned had heard the report of a gun. If the "sniper" or other mischief maker fired at the box with the intention of setting off the alarm, he failed. No alarm sounded and the incident was not discovered until a patrolman passed and happened to notice that the box had been damaged. Hits Battered Sedan Meanwhile, the twenty-sixth shot attributed to the "phantom sniper" was added to the long list of similar incidents during the weekend. Forsaking the main thoroughfares, the mysterious marksman—if, indeed, the same person is responsible—stalked his game through side streets of South Camden, where two other silent shots were fired last week. A battered old sedan was the twenty-sixth target of the "sniper" or snipers. A bullet-like missile, which vanished just as have most of the others, drilled a hole in a rear window of the ancient car, narrowly missing Joseph Carone, 20 years old, of 30 Morris street, Gloucester. Carone had sold the car to Donato Aceto, 32 years old, of 681 Van Hook street, a watchman at the Reading railroad crossing at Broadway and Salem street, Gloucester. The young man was steering the old machine which was being towed by Aceto's car. At Seventh street and Woodland avenue the mysterious missile tore through the rear window of the sedan, whistled past Carone's head and vanished. Too startled at first to realize what had happened. Carone waited until the two cars had crawled along for a hundred yards before he thought of the "phantom sniper." Then, a search for the missile began but to no avail. He reported the incident to William Booth, a florist, of 692 Van Hook street, who notified police. Detective Samuel Johnson investigated and heard Carone's story.

James F. "Soup" Campbell

March 28, 2025

James Francis "Soup" Campbell was born on December 24, 1897, in Homestead, Pennsylvania. He likely learned to play basketball at the Homestead YMCA under the guidance of Sandy Shields, a star of the 23rd Street Wanderers. Fellow Homestead natives Jackie Adams and Roy Steele were also trained by Shields, and together, they developed one of the most advanced offensive systems of early professional basketball, based on quick ball movement and intricate short passing.

When Adams retired in 1918, Steele took over as Camden's offensive leader and formed a new partnership with Soup Campbell, a young and talented player from Homestead. Their collaboration became one of the most formidable scoring duos in the league. Camden thrived after World War I, winning the 1919-20 Eastern Basketball League (EBL) championship and compiling an impressive 112-37 record over three and a half seasons before the league dissolved in January 1923.

Campbell joined Camden's basketball team, known variously as the Alphas, Skeeters, and Camden Crusaders, at the start of the 1919-1920 season. The team was owned by Camden veterinarian Dr. Charles B. Helm and former Camden County Sheriff W. Penn Corson. Other key players included Neil and Rich Deighan, Eddie Ferat, Sam Lennox, Roy Steele, Dave Kerr, and Joe Hyde.

During the early 1920s, Campbell was one of professional basketball's top offensive stars. Though he was a strong set shooter, his real strengths lay in his speed, agility, and mastery of two-handed dribbling. He quickly rose to prominence, leading Camden to an EBL championship in his first full professional season and finishing as the league's top scorer. He went on to win two more EBL scoring titles in 1922 and 1923. After the EBL, Campbell played three seasons in the Metropolitan League before moving to the American Basketball League (ABL) in 1925. Over the next four seasons, he played for five different ABL teams. Though his scoring declined in the later years of his career, he remained a valuable floor leader and strategist.

In 1924, Campbell married Gladys Frick, and their first child, James F. Campbell Jr., was born in Camden on February 25, 1925. By 1930, the couple had two more children, William A. Campbell and Shirley E. Campbell. The April 1930 Census recorded the family living at 111 Terrace Avenue in East Camden. Around this time, Campbell entered the business world, operating a bar at 28 Haddon Avenue with Neil Deighan, as listed in the 1928 and 1929 city directories. By 1931, he had become the proprietor of a restaurant, the Marmon Café, located at 821 Market Street.

However, Campbell's basketball career came to a sudden end on July 25, 1930, when he was involved in an automobile accident on Admiral Wilson Boulevard in Pennsauken, New Jersey. Both of his sons were also injured in the crash. In June 1932, he was awarded $15,000 in damages, later reduced to $12,000. Although he attempted a brief return to basketball, playing in three games during the 1932-1933 season, injuries had taken their toll, and he was unable to continue his career.

Unfortunately, Campbell's personal and financial struggles mounted during the 1930s. He and Gladys divorced, and his business ventures outside of basketball did not appear to be successful. The 1940 Census shows that Gladys was living with her children and mother at 229 Ivins Avenue in Delaware Township (now Cherry Hill), New Jersey, while James was renting a room in Camden at the home of Charles J. and Lydia Davidson at 319 North 2nd Street. Ironically, he was working in a cannery at Campbell Soup.

James "Soup" Campbell passed away on March 5, 1942, in Camden, New Jersey.

Starr Avenue

October 13, 2024

Starr Avenue, later renamed Mt. Ephraim Avenue between 1914 and 1946, ran northeast from Border Street to Federal Street near the Cooper River and was named after Jesse W. and John F. Starr, founders of Camden Iron Works. The foundry's former site has housed Campbell Soup's corporate headquarters since the 1960s.

Starr Avenue and Border Street still exist today, serving as a convenient shortcut between South Camden, East Camden, and Admiral Wilson Boulevard.

The First Drive-In Theater

The First Drive-In Theater: The Story of Its Creation and the Woman Behind It

More than 100 years ago, an article appeared on the last page of the Courier-Post, announcing the construction of a revolutionary outdoor movie venue — the Drive-In Theater. Just two days earlier, the U.S. Patent Office had approved Richard M. Hollingshead Jr.'s invention. To protect against potential patent infringement, the entire project had been kept secret until that moment.

Hollingshead had already secured a plot of land on the north side of the newly named Admiral Wilson Boulevard. Once his patent was granted, he rushed to complete the project. But why would the wealthy general manager of the successful R. M. Hollingshead Chemical Co. enter the theater business? The answer: his mother, Emma.

Emma Hollingshead was a large woman who loved going to the movies but found traditional theater seating uncomfortable and restrictive. Determined to solve this problem, her son began experimenting with outdoor movie viewing. In the driveway of their Riverton home, he placed a movie projector on the hood of his car and used bedsheets attached to trees as a makeshift screen. These early trials led to his groundbreaking idea — a theater where people could watch movies from the comfort of their own cars. He even used this convenience as a key selling point in early advertisements.

When it came time to name his creation, Hollingshead considered "Automobile Movie Theater" (too long) and "Park-In Theater" before settling on "Drive-In Theater." The world's first Drive-In Theater officially opened on June 6, 1933. Initially, it gained attention as a novelty, but it quickly ran into challenges.

The theater used state-of-the-art RCA speakers mounted around the screen, requiring patrons to keep their car windows open — an invitation for mosquitoes from the nearby Cooper River swamps. The sound quality was poor, with noticeable delays for those in the back rows. It would take several more years for window-mounted speakers to be developed. The picture quality was also limited by the technology of the time, and weather conditions like rain, fog, and even bright moonlight could interfere with visibility.

Another major challenge came from movie distributors, who viewed the Drive-In as a competitor to traditional theaters. They prioritized established theater chains when releasing new films, making it difficult for Hollingshead to secure top-tier movies. On top of all this, the theater debuted in the middle of the Great Depression, making financial success even harder to achieve.

Despite its innovation, Hollingshead's Drive-In Theater closed after just three seasons, operating for only 14 months in total. The idea was ahead of its time. However, after World War II, improvements in technology and infrastructure helped the concept gain widespread popularity. By the 1950s, Drive-In Theaters had become a cultural phenomenon, with over 4,000 in operation across the United States.

Marlton Avenue

June 22, 2024

Marlton Avenue begins at Federal Street and effectively serves as an extension of State Street, which runs east from the Delaware River, crossing the Cooper River and the Pavonia railroad yards to Federal Street. Marlton Avenue then continues eastward to the city limits at Highland Avenue. It is one of the five major streets in East Camden, along with Westfield Avenue, Twenty-Seventh Street, Baird Boulevard, and Federal Street.

The intersection of Marlton Avenue and Federal Street has been prominent for decades, hosting various businesses such as a saloon, a car dealership, a 7-11 convenience store, a fast-food restaurant, and a laundromat. In 2009, the Thomas H. Dudley School was built on the southeast corner of this intersection, replacing the previous school of the same name, which was located on North 23rd Street between High Street and Federal Street.

Boyd Street

April 28, 2024

Boyd Street is in East Camden, and runs parallel to Marlton Avenue from Carman Street to the city limits in Pennsauken.

Boyd Street acquired a very bad reputation in the late 1980s and all through the 1990s as part of the open-air drug market known as “the Alley,” which centered on the alley one end of which was on Bank Street between Morse Street and Boyd Streets.

Phil Cohen

Border Street

April 26, 2024

Border Street, which was renamed Mt. Ephraim Avenue in the 2000s, was a small street that ran from Line Street and Haddon Avenue north along the railroad tracks, crossing Starr Avenue (which too had been renamed Mt. Ephraim Avenue, at some point between 1914 and 1946) and intersecting with Newton Avenue. In more recent times Border Street ended at Starr (now Mt. Ephraim) Avenue, which doglegged to the northeast to what is now 10th Street behind what is now the Transport of New Jersey bus maintenance garage complex. It is a very convenient shortcut for getting from South Camden to East Camden and Admiral Wilson Boulevard without having to go through downtown Camden.

Bank Street

April 13, 2024

Bank Street runs from Baird Boulevard and Carman Street southwest, crossing Marlton Pike, and continuing to Admiral Wilson Boulevard, where it ends. When the 1947 city directory was compiled there were only four houses on Bank Street, in the 2500 block. A block of apartments were later built nearby, these were condemned as unfit for human habitation around 1990 and razed a few years later. A few single family homes had also been built on Bank Street between Boyd Street and Admiral Wilson Boulevard between 1947 and 1951.

Bank Street acquired a very bad reputation in the late 1980s and all through the 1990s as part of the open-air drug market known as "the Alley," which centered on the alley one end of which was on Bank Street between Morse and Boyd Streets.

A few new homes now stand on Bank Street, erected as part of the McGuire Gardens redevelopment undertaken by the Housing Authority of the City of Camden and brought to a successful completion under the leadership of Dr. Maria Marquez in the early 2000s.

17th Street

January 17, 2024

Seventeenth Street runs from Harrison Avenue to River Avenue in what was originally called the Pavonia section of what is now considered Cramer Hill. All addresses here are North 17th Street. There is also a South 17th Street that runs from Federal Street in East Camden south across Carman Street and onward to Admiral Wilson Boulevard.

Mount Ephraim Avenue

August 17, 2023

Mt. Ephraim Avenue dates back to 1878, when it operated as the Mount Ephraim Turnpike, a toll road. It originally began at the junction of Line Street and Haddon Avenue. At some point between 1929 and 1946, Starr Avenue underwent a name change, giving rise to a secondary segment of Mt. Ephraim Avenue. This new section, aligned parallel to Newton Avenue, extended towards Admiral Wilson Boulevard, running along the western perimeter of the former Sears-Roebuck building. Part of the avenue was named Border Street until the 2000s.

Black-and-white view down a wide street lined with rowhouses and shops, with utility poles, overhead wires and two pedestrians.

2 YOUTHS ARE CAUGHT IN PADLOCKED CAFE Two Whitman Park youths who were arrested by a special officer as they were emerging from the cellar of a padlocked saloon were held without bail Saturday to await grand jury disposal of charges of breaking and entering.

They were arrested by former Policeman Oscar Probst, now a special watchman guarding stores on Mt. Ephraim avenue. Probst said he saw them coming from the basement of Purdy's Cafe, southeast corner of Van Hook street and Mt. Ephraim avenue. They had forced their way in, Probst stated. The two pleaded not guilty.

Whitman Park Shop 21st Sniper Target

WHITMAN PARK SHOP 21ST SNIPER TARGET Window Shattered But No Missile is Found; 2 Sleuths on Case While county and city detectives, police of a half-dozen communities and scores of volunteer sleuths sought vainly for some clue to his identity, South Jersey's "phantom sniper" today fired his twenty-first shot. Arriving at his place of business, 1201 Mt. Ephraim avenue, this morning, Benjamin Donde found that the plate glass in the door of the shop had been drilled by a small hole, apparently made by a bullet. As in most of the cases attributed to the "sniper," no missile was found despite a careful search inside the store. The twentieth incident of the sort, occurring yesterday when the windshield of an automobile in which Abe Fuhrman, Camden jeweler, and his two sons were riding, had served virtually to eliminate theories that the 'sniper's" weapon might be a sling-shot or a revolver equipped with a silencer. The missile which drilled a hole in the Fuhrman auto's windshield was a small, nickel-plated screw. This, of course, could not have been fired from an ordinary rifle or pistol. Police agree, moreover, that no sling shot could be made sufficiently powerful to have driven the screw through the heavy plate glass of the windshield. As it struck, the missile whistled past the ears of the occupants, only a few inches over the heads, and imbedded itself in the upholstery at the rear of the car. County Detectives Howard Smith and William Cleary, it was announced today, had been assigned to special duty in the manhunt for the sniper. They were assigned by Prosecutor Ethan P. Wescott. Both agree that the weapon used by the sniper is a compressed air gun.

An interim report: 16,422 dinners to go

Eating Out By Alonzo Gristle An interim report— 16,422 dinners to go "Many people who haven't been to Bruno's for years still remember it with great fondness, and motoring there last week, I couldn't help but think how the neighborhood must have changed." Zenon Bubnoski Bruno's Cafe and Restaurant 1421 Mt. Ephraim Avenue Camden, N.J. 08100 My dear Bubnoski, Some days ago I notified my editor that the next article I planned to write for this column would concern itself with Bruno's Restaurant in Camden, of which you are the proprietor. The editor telephoned you to make arrangements for a photographer, at which time you reportedly told him you weren't interested in a public assessment of your food unless the critic was willing to spend 45 years or so to make a fair sampling. Your suggestion intrigued me and I informed my editor that I, for one, was willing to spend the next 16,425 dinners at your place. Unfortunately, standards of good taste prevent me reporting his exact words, but it was something to the effect that it might be difficult to explain to the business manager why all my expenses over such a long period of time were being incurred at one restaurant. He seemed very much convinced on this point, and I could find no way to dissuade him. Still, there was the matter of public responsibility. The value of this column, if it has one, is to provide a few fragile guideposts to the unwary diner, who otherwise would stand to forfeit a good piece of his wallet for a meal he knows nothing about until he's et it. Although I have occasionally been accused of stretching a point, I try for an honest appraisal, without fawning to advertisers or zealous restaurateurs. Perhaps that is too noble a principle for survival. It is certainly not the safer course, but at the heart of it, it is honest, which I am old-fashioned and foolish enough to believe is worth pursuing. [illegible] Photo by Jim Stewart Then I wondered what I might have said about your restaurant. All of us know that it is something of a landmark, dating back to a time when it was known as "the Farmer's Hotel," a way station for travelers headed for the Camden Ferry. Your parents, Bruno and Anna Bubnoski, bought the place from the Betz Brewery, and the first dollar bill they took in, dated January 19, 1925, still hangs above the bar. Over the years, they built the restaurant up into a business with a reputation for being one of the best eating spots in Camden, and many people visiting West Jersey Hospital across the street would make it a point to stop at Bruno's to have supper, or just to pass the time while a friend was dying across the street, or a baby was being born. Many people who haven't been to Bruno's for years still remember it with great fondness, and motoring there one evening last week, I couldn't help but think how the neighborhood must have changed. Mt. Ephraim Avenue is brightly lit, but the sidewalks are vacant and the back streets are dark and uninviting. Still, Bruno's has a clean, if not cheery, look about it. Inside there is a long, polished bar and a large dining room with plain tables and stiff chairs and some paintings of antique cars and the stuffed heads of deer and caribou mounted on the walls. My editor couldn't spare me for 45 years, but I did go ahead and have three meals there. Most of all, I was impressed by the prices. Almost everything is in the $2 to $4 range, while the most expensive meals on the menu are broiled lobster tails and the sirloin steak, both marked at $5.95. My first trip, I had a seafood combination ($4.50), which consisted of one small lobster tail, a tender, though small, piece of flounder and a perfectly delicious crab cake. The next visit I tried the sirloin steak ($5.95), which was one-inch thick and of good size, fairly tender and well-cooked. Finally came a pot roast ($2.75), which was two large but thin slices of tender meat covered with a nice stick-to-the-ribs beef gravy. Several excursions into the appetizers produced a bland egg roll with shrimp (65 cents) and a very satisfying shrimp cocktail ($1.95) containing five large and firm shrimp, accompanied by tangy sauce. A cup of beef noodle soup du jour (40 cents) was thick with beef chunks and filled to the surface with chewables, while a cup of snapper (also 40 cents) was a very rich broth accompanied by a small cream jar of sherry. In the line of vegetables, the pickled beets and mixed vegetables were ordinary, while a cheese potato puff proved to be a pleasant diversion, though not very cheesy, and the best of the lot was the stuffed potato, a kind of spiced mashed potato baked in a tinfoil boat. The desserts were nothing to rave about. A bowl of rice pudding was too thick to be creamy, and a slice of apple pie had a doughy crust and more goo than apples. Hoping for the best, I persisted in ordering a cup of coffee at the end of each meal, but each cup proved worse than the last, and the very last was bilge. Still, there's a lot to make up for, and when you average it all out over 45 years, I have no doubt that Bruno's will come out being one of the finest spots in Camden. Sincerely, A. G.

DRIVER CAUGHT IN CHASE An alleged hit-run driver was captured after a chase by a city fireman in the middle of the Camden bridge. Wallace Duvall, 31, of 1469 Mt. Ephraim avenue, was crossing Seventh and Penn streets when he was struck by an automobile. According to Duvall and George Garner, a fireman attached to the Twenty-seventh and Federal streets fire house, the driver failed to stop. Garner followed in his car. He chased the driver half way across the bridge and arrested him. He gave his name as William Aubrey, 41, of 1141 West Indiana avenue, Philadelphia. He was held in $1000 bail for a hearing tonight. Duvall was taken to Cooper Hospital by Harrison M. Davenport, 1209 Jackson street, where he is suffering from cuts and bruises.

Two Miss Death Sentence by Fraction of Inch; 'Sheiks' Confess Shooting Store Manager

Two Miss Death Sentence by Fraction of Inch; 'Sheiks' Confess Shooting Store Manager A mere fraction of an inch is all that saved the two "sheik" bandits, who robbed and shot a South Camden chain store manager, from death in the electric chair. And they are still in the shadow of the "chair" as John Cullen, 22, of 1088 Common road battles for his life on a tiny cot in the West Jersey Homeopathic Hospital. If he dies the prosecutor's office will undoubtedly ask that the death sentence be imposed for the crime. A state law in New Jersey decrees that all those participating in a robbery or holdup in which an innocent man is killed are equally guilty. A .32-calibre bullet entered his chest and punctured a lung causing internal hemorrhages, which physicians say may yet cost his life. The bullet passed within a small fraction of an inch of his heart, and missed several arteries that would have caused instant death had they been hit. The bandits, who at first denied participating in the holdup, are John "Fingers" Makowski, 19, of 1476 Mt. Ephraim avenue and Stanley Jananaz, also known as Benjamin Janasz and Benny Jones, 18, of 1509 Newport street. Order Safe Opened They entered the American store at 1201 Lansdowne avenue just as Cullen the manager, and his two clerks were about to close up last Friday. Forcing the clerks into the rear of the store the bandits ordered Cullen to open the safe. One of the bandits emptied the cash register of about $5 in change, while the second man kept threatening Cullen with a gun. When he failed to work fast enough the bandit struck him and then attempted to strike him a second time. Cullen made an attempt to defend himself and the bandit shot him and fled. The two men were captured more than eight hours after the crime was committed when police took advantage of a "tip" given them by one of the store clerks. Claims Shot Was Accidental Although Cullen could not say which of the two had shot him, Jananaz, better known as Jones, admitted that he accidentally discharged his revolver and that the bullet struck Cullen when the latter sought to defend himself.

2 Youths Face Court And Deny Store Murder

2 YOUTHS FACE COURT AND DENY STORE MURDER Makowski and Janasz Indicted in Killing of John W. Cullen PROSECUTOR WILL ASK FOR DEATH PENALTY Collingswood Burglar is Named By Grand Jury in Its Report Two Camden youths, nervous and incoherent in speech under the threat of the electric chair, today stood before Supreme Court Justice Frank T. Lloyd in criminal court and pleaded not guilty to charges of murdering a store manager to get $5 in receipts. They are John "Fingers" Makowski and Stanley B. Janasz, also known as Benny Jones. Both were white-lipped as they listened to the grave charges contained in indictments returned by the retiring September Grand Jury yesterday and read in court today by Assistant Prosecutor Rocco Palese. At the conclusion of the reading, Palese asked them how they would plead. Neither made answer, and Justice Lloyd then put the question to them. Their answer, made in a low, indistinct voice, was: "Not guilty." State Aid Asked Janasz is represented by Joseph A. Varbalow, but Makowski has no lawyer. His mother, a widow who has four other children, then made application to Justice Lloyd for the court to appoint counsel for her son at the state's expense, as she has not the money with which to procure legal defense for him. Prosecutor Baldwin will place the youths on trial probably in January, when the death penalty will be asked. They are accused of murdering John William Cullen, 22, of 1088 South Common road, Fairview, manager of an American Store at 1201 Lansdowne avenue, and father of a 13-month-old girl. The shooting occurred at the store on the night of November 28 and Cullen died two days later in the West Jersey Homeopathic Hospital. On the day following the shooting the two captives are alleged to have confessed to the robbery and shooting. When arraigned in police court on atrocious assault and battery charges, they pleaded guilty. Jones admitted it was his gun that fired the fatal shot, but he said it was discharged accidentally. They are probably two of the youngest defendants in a Camden county murder case in which the electric chair has ever been asked by the state. Jones is 18 and resides at 1509 Newport street, while Makowski is 19 and lives at 1476 Mount Ephraim avenue.

Camden Courier-Post, September 1, 1937
View transcription
CLAYTON PROMOTED TO CHIEF CLERK IN POLICE DEPARTMENT Commissioner Kobus Continues Move for Elimination of 'Acting' Officers In line with her plans to eliminate acting offices in the police department, Commissioner Mary W. Kobus last night announced the promotion of Patrolman George Clayton to chief clerk of the department. Clayton, whose promotion has been rumored since last December, has been acting chief clerk for two years and was named chief clerk, August 16. The promotion carries an increase in salary of $360, the position paying $2400 annually less the 15 percent economy reduction now in effect. As a patrolman Clayton received $2040 a year. The city commission is expected in the near future to pass a resolution giving the title of captain, as outlined in a city ordinance, and he then receives an additional increase of $180 in salary bringing the total to $2580. Clayton will act as chief of police in the absence of Chief Arthur Colsey. Clayton Record Lauded Commenting on Clayton's promotion, Commissioner Kobus said: "This is another step toward the elimination of acting officers in the police department and more are to follow in the future. It is my purpose to replace all acting jobs wherever and whenever it is possible. Clayton is a fine officer with a splendid record and his promotion will increase the efficiency and uphold the morale of the department." Clayton, who is 49 and lives at 912 Mt. Ephraim avenue, was appointed to the department on February 2, 1918, while Charles H. Ellis was mayor. He has served in nearly every capacity in the department, having been a motorcycle patrolman, mounted policeman, jailor, acting desk sergeant and acting detective. Clayton has been cited for bravery on several occasions. Capturing a fugitive bandit single handed at the Camden postoffice on December 20, 1932, was one of Clayton's most sensational exploits. The bandit, Robert I. Mears, was wanted in Delaware for more than a score of robberies and was spotted in Camden. Floors Irate Interferer Police were notified and Clayton was assigned to the postoffice to grab Mears when he appeared for mail. Clayton waited for several days before he was rewarded with the appearance of Mears. Not knowing whether the bandit was armed or not, Clayton pulled his gun. A bystander thought a holdup was in progress and Clayton was the culprit. Clayton was assaulted by the bystander, making the chances of the capture look slim, but he promptly "floored" the would-be rescuer with a punch and then took Mears to headquarters where he was held for Delaware authorities.

Camden's News Budget A Would-Be Suicide Who Spent His Wife's Money for Rum. Adolph Meyers, of 1109 Emma street, who attempted to kill himself late Saturday night, is locked up at the City Hall. He is rapidly improving and will be released to-day or to-morrow. To Chief of Police Dodd he said he had become down-hearted and had decided to kill his wife and then end his own existence. He changed his mind and shot himself. Mrs. Meyers says that on Saturday evening she gave her husband $1 to purchase groceries with and instead he bought whisky. When he came home he was under the influence of liquor and was only in the house a few minutes when he attempted to shoot himself. Lieutenant Stehr says that when he called at the house Meyers asked him for his revolver, saying it was better than his and would do the work. FIGHT AT A CHRISTENING. The baby of John Flerker, who resides at Mount Ephraim and Kaighn avenues, was christened yesterday, and as a result a half a dozen of the participants are now locked up in jail. After the water had been sprinkled on the child's head, those who had assembled to witness the ceremony started in drinking beer. Toward dark, by which time the entire party was under the influence of liquor, a free fight ensued. Officer Peters was summoned and arrested Fred Collett, Frank Dasky, Henry Raskoska, Jacob Schiecht and his son. They were locked up for a hearing to-day. AN APPROPRIATE SONG. About 150 persons from Philadelphia visited Camden yesterday to witness the baptism of a man and woman, who accompanied them. About 1,000 boys who had heard of the coming of the pair to be baptised were at Vaneman's wharf waiting for them. The pair were led out into the stream, and just as the minister dipped them into the water the boys commenced to sing "Down Went McGinty to the Bottom of the Sea." NOTES. The octogenarian services of the Methodist churches were concluded yesterday. The principal speaker of the day was Bishop Cyrus D. Foss. The spectators who were captured in the prize fight raid on Friday night will have a hearing before Mayor Pratt to-day. Rev. J. L. Sooy, of the Tabernacle Baptist Church, conducted the services yesterday for the first time since his illness. William Haines and Herman Shaffer are locked up at the City Hall for stealing lumber from the yard of Volney G. Bennett. Harry Daniels is locked up for stealing $175 worth of shoes from the Philadelphia Shoe House.

Ephraim Avenue and Fairview Street, the Harris Terminal Complex. The fire involved a four story brick and corrugated steel warehouse (100 x 1000) containing miscellaneous industrial materials. Structure was fully involved upon arrival of Department Forces. As is evident in photo, the firebuilding was completely obscured from view by extremely heavy smoke conditions that were visible as far as thirty miles away. Elevated water tank in background, which is adjacent to firebuilding, is 100 feet tall. A massive effort by over 400 hundred manning some fifty pieces of equipment, was required to control the blaze. The Camden Fire Department was assisted by the mutual-aid response of Fire Units from Camden County. A 10th Alarm for Box #4412 was transmitted for this fire. Photo by M. Hall.

Saint Mihiel Street

June 21, 2023

St. Mihiel Street, named in honor of the heroic actions of American forces during the World War I Battle of St. Mihiel, originally extended northward from Line Street to Mt. Ephraim Avenue. The initial location of Camden Convention Hall was at the northeast corner of St. Mihiel Street and Line Street.

In the late 1940s, St. Mihiel Street underwent changes as it was shortened and now ended at North 10th Street. This alteration occurred with the construction of the Camden Connection overpass, which crossed Admiral Wilson Boulevard at Memorial Avenue. Sadly, in the early 1950s, Camden Convention Hall was destroyed by fire. Campbell Soup Company acquired the land where Convention Hall once stood, as well as other adjacent properties along Memorial Avenue, including the Mechling Brothers factory, for the construction of their corporate headquarters. As a result of this development, Argonne Street and Verdun Street, which bordered Convention Hall, ceased to exist, along with a significant portion of Memorial Avenue.

In more recent times, St. Mihiel Street underwent a name change and is now known as St. Mihiel Avenue.

Baird Boulevard

April 27, 2023

Baird Avenue, named for Camden businessman, political leader and one-time U.S. Senator David Baird Sr., was laid out early in the 20th century as part of the development of Camden's Parkside neighborhood. It is one of the three main roads in Parkside. It begins at Kaighn Avenue, running diagonally in a northerly direction, crossing Park Avenue at Camden High School and Farnham Park. From there Baird Avenue crosses the Cooper River and Admiral Wilson Avenue, entering East Camden, where it runs straight through across Marlton Avenue to its terminus, the intersection of Baird Avenue, Federal Street, and 27th Street — arguably the heart of East Camden.

The street was known as Baird Avenue when originally laid out in the 1900s. Homes began to appear on Baird Avenue after 1906, and a few lots in the 1500 block were still empty as late as 1924. The Parkside blocks were referred to as Baird Avenue for many years. The East Camden side, above the Cooper River, was laid out by 1924, and from the beginning was called Baird Avenue. No homes stood on the East Camden blocks of Baird Avenue in 1924.

Baird Avenue was the home of many of Camden's most prominent citizens, from all walks of life — business, law, religion, and even organized crime.

Work Started on 8 Homes In Baird Blvd. Development Several Sold Before Ground Is Broken; 300 Dwellings Planned In Area With Small Single Residences to Be Built Soon Ground was broken last week for a second unit of new homes being built by Forest Hill Homes, Inc., along Baird boulevard in the 2400 block between Boyd and Morse streets. There are to be eight homes in the unit now to be constructed and several of these have already been sold before construction was begun. The homes have been approved by the Federal Housing Administration, which means it is possible for home-buyers to purchase these new homes with a very small down payment and monthly charges like rent. The Forest Hill Homes organization plans to build over 300 homes in this vicinity. In the near future small single homes will be built. The section in which these new homes are being built is considered to be the choicest residential section in Camden, and a number of Camden's leading citizens reside nearby. The new homes are located three blocks north of Bridge boulevard, along Baird boulevard, which is 110 feet wide with shade trees on each side and a landscaped grass plot in the center. Stores, schools and churches are close by and the center of Camden is five minutes distant by any one of three bus lines. The homes contain the latest features which provide comfort, convenience, beauty and economy. Each house is set back 50 feet from the street on a landscaped lot. There is an open cement plaza in front. Each home is on a lot 20 feet wide by 100 feet deep. They are built of all masonry and steel in English, Norman and Colonial architectures. There is an arched vestibule entrance, large living room with built-in curio cabinets, dining room with an arched entrance and a crystal chandelier, "Efficiency" kitchen with a double drainboard sink, specially designed cabinets, table top gas range, inlaid linoleum cemented on a felt base, exhaust fan for kitchen ventilation. A finished recreation room is in the basement, laundry room, oil burner and an automatic gas water heater, masonry garage. A Colonial staircase leads from the living room to the second floor, where there are three full-sized bedrooms, two colored tile baths with showers, one stall shower with a glass door. There are nine closets in the home, 52 electric outlets, four inches of Johns-Manville rock wool insulation, air conditioning, copper piping, spouts and flashings, 100 percent weather-stripped and caulked, built-in radio aerial, leaded glass window in front door, parquette floors on first floor, hardwood floors on second floor.

Camden Lad Gives Vacation Savings To Help Veterans Paul Rothman, 11, of 2596 Baird boulevard, yesterday visited the Camden bonus camp with $5.20 tightly clutched in his hands. The money represented savings he planned to spend on a vacation trip this year, but Paul was touched by stories of hardship the veterans are facing and he expressed a desire to do his bit. His father, William Rothman, proprietor of the Barrett Tire Shop, 560 Carman street, took 500 bags of tobacco to the veterans. Rothman and his son were accompanied by Charles Harlacher, of the Camden Duplicating Company, 720 Federal street. On arrival at the camp young Paul learned that tooth paste was sorely needed by the veterans and he spent his savings for more than 50 small tubes of this requisite. A large group of the bonus seekers gave the boy and his father resounding cheers of appreciation.

Commissioner Asks Legal Opinion on Plot Restrictions

Camden Courier-Post, August 1, 1936

Courier-Post clipping, Aug. 1, 1936: Commissioner Hartmann asks a legal opinion on Forest Hill Gardens plot restrictions.
Camden Courier-Post, August 1, 1936
View transcription
Commissioner Asks Legal Opinion on Plot Restrictions Plan Filed in 1921 Says Only Private Dwellings Can Be Erected CITY DECLARED LOSER In an effort to see if something may not be done for industrial, commercial and residential development of real estate on each side of Admiral Wilson boulevard from Baird boulevard to the Pennsauken township line, City Commissioner Frank J. Hartmann, Jr., yesterday contacted City Solicitor E. C. G. Bleakly. An odd restriction in the Forest Hill Gardens plan is believed to have deprived the city of Camden of considerable business, Commissioner Hartmann said. The restriction, incorporated in a plan by Walter MacNamara, filed in October, 1921, provides that "No improvements other than private dwellings costing not less than $2500 with privileges of private garages shall be erected on any lots shown on said plan . . ." The plan covers the area from Baird boulevard to the city line and from Cooper river to Marlton pike. Lots fronting on Baird boulevard, and lots 1 to 58 fronting on Marlton pike are excepted. As a result, Commissioner Hartmann said, many factories, gas stations and other business have sprung up in Pennsauken that might otherwise have been opened in Camden. Threatens Action Unless the restrictions are removed, the Commissioner warned, he will insist that valuation of the property on the bridge boulevard east of Baird boulevard should be so increased as to force owners to build to increase city revenue and justify the value of the land. "Either there will be worthwhile buildings or higher assessments comparing with upper Admiral Wilson boulevard property," the commissioner said. Properties on the south side of Admiral Wilson boulevard, their frontage and valuation are: (east from Baird boulevard) Camden Safe Deposit and Trust company, 766.72 feet, $8650 valuation for ground; Hatch Land Improvement company, 145 feet, $3425 for land and $7825 for improvements; Forest Hill Boat club, 60 feet, $350 valuation for ground; and Camden Safe Deposit and Trust company, $25,550 for ground as far as the city line. Properties Listed On the opposite side of the bridge boulevard are the following properties: Baird to Somerset street; First Camden National Bank and Trust, 103 feet, $2125 valuation for ground; Henry B. Coles, Jr., 56 feet, $2125 for ground; Combex corporation, 40 feet, $1925; Blanch I. Smith, 40 feet, $1925; Combex corporation, lots of 60, 40 and 90 feet, assessed at $2875, $1925 and $4325. Somerset street to Thorndyke street; Camden Safe Deposit and Trust, 400 feet, $19,200 for ground. Thorndyke street to city line: Camden Safe Deposit and Trust, 380 feet, $18,250 for ground; Raflin Realty company, Inc., 3 lots of 60, 60, and 65 feet, assessed at $2875, $2875 and $3125.

Market Street

October 19, 2021

It is likely that Market Street was so named as it linked directly to Market Street in Philadelphia, via ferry, and was an easy naming that allowed travelers to know their destination. It also likely helped tourism in both cities. If you zoom the map out slightly, you will see that Market Street in Camden follows the path of Market Street in Philadelphia. There is no known "market" that existed in Camden on Market Street.

The Market was actually at Third and Federal.

Retail licenses were granted Henry Felden, 634 North Sixth street; Samuel Fenner, 625 Ferry avenue, and William F. Sands, Haddon avenue and Line street. The applications of John Ross, West and Clinton streets and Herman Meier, 825 Market street, which had been refused at a previous meeting, were reconsidered and granted. Gustav [?]hwoeri was granted a wholesale license at 707 Chestnut street. William Brown's license at 400 Jasper street was transferred to James P. Croker.

Paul W. Draper, owner of a barber shop and beauty parlor at 210 Market street, reported to the detective bureau at 1.30 p. m. today that someone had fired a missile at the front window of the establishment. Several patrolmen and City Detective Joseph Caputi investigated. They found splinters of glass as far as 20 feet from the window inside the shop, but the hole through the window, no larger than the point of a lead pencil, was so small it precluded the possibility of a bullet or a stone going through the pane. On the inside of the window the hole was as large as a silver dollar and cracks extended out from it for six inches in all directions. Draper said he had heard no gun report, but when he rushed outside the shop smelled smoke. Two boys who were passing the place at the time said they had heard something whizz by their heads, Draper told police. Neither Draper nor the detective were able to find a missile either inside or outside the shop. Philadelphia police last night arrested an 18-year-old youth, who they thought might be the "phantom sniper." He was to be questioned by Camden detectives today. The youth was found hiding near Eighth and Sansom streets. For the past week a sniper has been shooting out windows of buildings between Seventh and Eighth streets on Sansom. The bullets narrowly missed scores of persons. The youth gave his name as Hyman Tucker, of Twenty-third street, near Cumberland. When arrested he had a small calibre rifle and a number of cartridges. He was taken to City Hall for questioning. Tucker is a night student at Central High School. The arrest was made after detectives had been posted at a vantage point along Sansom street. Today another driver added himself to the list of some forty odd persons who have been attacked by the phantom. He is C. C. Schatde of Ocean City. He told Haddonfield police that the sniper shot through his windshield as he was driving along Grove street near the Marlton Pike. Some mysterious missile penetrated the middle of his windshield close to the bottom. It made a hole about the size of a matchstick. Schatde said there was no one in sight and he found no projectile in his car.

TEN BUILDINGS ORDERED DOWN FOR POSTOFFICE Contract Awarded by U. S. for Clearing Site at Fourth and Market ENDS LENGTHY DELAY ON CAMDEN STRUCTURE Old Temple Theatre to Be Razed by Winning Bidder From Phila. Camden's new $1,100,000 postoffice and Federal building came nearer to realization yesterday with announcement of award of the contract to clear 10 buildings from the site at the northeast corner of Fourth and Market streets. The successful bidder was the Fidelity Builders, Inc., of Philadelphia, the lowest of 13 bidders, who submitted a figure of $2583, according to the supervising architect of the Treasury Department at Washington. Under the terms of the contract the buildings on the site must be razed within 90 days after the firm is given notice to proceed with the work. This notice is expected within a few days. A fence is to be built around the site while the buildings are being removed. Meanwhile Treasury Department architects are proceeding with plans and specifications for the structure itself. As soon as the site is cleared and the plans prepared, bids for erection of the building will be sought by advertisement. The site extends northward from Market street to Markley place and eastward from Fourth street to include the old Temple building. Ten buildings to be razed, and their owners are, 401 and 403 Market street, John Stoer; 405 Market street, Louis Katz; 407 Market street, Bennie Gondolf; 409 Market street, City Commissioner T. Yorke Smith and John Rand; the Temple building, 411-413 Market street, owned by John H. Heaton Piano Company; 110 and 112 Fourth street, John Dick; 114 Fourth street, Alice M. Wesley, and 116 Fourth street, Louis Berkowitz. The new building will have a space of 32,204 square feet and will be three or four stories high.

Lamoreaux, Wife Named in Fraud Indictments

Lamoreaux, Wife Named in Fraud Indictments Charles R. Lamoreaux, Haddon Heights builder and real estate operator, and his wife, Ada T., were indicted Thursday by the Camden county grand jury for obtaining money under false pretenses. The jury handed up 41 other true bills to County Judge Palese in its final presentation of the year. Lamoreaux is free on $5000 bail pending an appeal on a two to three-year sentence imposed Nov. 6 after his conviction on similar charges. Lamoreaux and his wife, president and secretary, respectively, of the New Era Construction Co., are accused of taking $700 from David Hedgpeth, of 2145 North Marvine street, Philadelphia, after they promised to build a House on White Horse pike at Lawnside. Complained to Police Lamoreaux and his wife, who live at 509 White Horse pike, Haddon Heights, failed to start construction of the home at the specified time, it was alleged. Hedgepeth said he subsequently found the Lamoreaux had misrepresented their financial status and filed a complaint with police. In another indictment, Lawrence Bleichner, of 416 Market street, was charged with passing a worthless check for $100, Oct. 30. Bleichner, who operated the Liberty Equipment Co. at the Market street address, was given a down payment of $100 on a television set. When Catherine Meyers, of 28 Dubois avenue, Woodbury, failed to get the set, she asked for return of the deposit. Bleichner gave her the check. Other Indictments Among the indictments are 16 for non-support and desertion, three for atrocious assault and battery, three for assault and battery, eight for receiving stolen goods, two for breaking, entering and larceny; one for larceny by bailee, two for obtaining money under false pretenses, four for morals offenses, one for defrauding a hotelkeeper, one ABC liquor violation and one for assault with intent to kill. Prosecutor Cohen lauded the "faithful and painstaking" work of the jury and listed the following "interesting" statistics: The panel heard 237 cases from Sept. 6, when it was sworn; listened to 275 witnesses, returned 153 true bills and handed up 84 no bills of indictment. Cohen said the figures mark a 38 percent decrease in the number of cases heard during the last months of the year, as compared to the beginning of 1950.

Rites Wednesday For Miss Johntra Services for Miss Anna M. Johntra, 90, who taught in Camden public schools nearly 40 years, will be held Wednesday at 11 a. m. in the funeral home of Benjamin R. Denny, 453 South Sixth street. The Rev. W. I. Roberts, pastor of Bethel Methodist Church, will officiate. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery. Miss Johntra, who resided at 732 Market street, died in her home Friday after a long illness. Born in Camden, she was a lifelong resident. She became associated with the Camden school system in September, 1876, when she taught at the Liberty school. On Dec. 4, 1905, she was named principal for boys and girls at the Linden school, Tenth and Linden streets, since torn down. The Powell school now occupies the site, Miss Johntra held the post to June 3, 1916, when she retired. Surviving are two sisters, Miss Daisy Johntra, also a retired Camden school teacher, of the Market street address, and Mrs. Carrie Hibbert, of Camden, wife of Samuel Hibbert, retired Camden policeman; several nieces and nephews. Jesse Johntra, a brother of Miss Johntra, a Camden letter carrier, died in 1941.

Cash, Stamps Taken: Ransackers Tour Building On Market St. Burglars took between $30 and $40 cash and 200 three-cent stamps during the night while ransacking office and warehouse space of five firms in a building at 10th and Market sts. Breaking through connecting doors after scaling a ladder in the rear of 1011 Market st., the thieves invaded Wilkie W. Faust & Sons millwork firm, a storage space of Cutler Metal Products Co., offices of Camden Ink and Color Co., Fit-Well Coat Co. and Asam Bros. Inc., a wallpaper firm. The latter three have entrances at 1001 Market st. Dets. George Ellis and Marshall Thompson said the petty cash and stamps were taken from Camden Ink and Color, where desks and filing cabinets were rifled. John Erickson, 5754 Irving ave., Pennsauken, owner, fixed the loss. Entrance there was through the storage area of the Cutler firm where a broken glass in a door apparently cut someone. Blood was spattered on the door and floor. The investigators said a ladder at the rear of the building permitted the thieves to force a second-floor window of the Faust firm. But Wilkie W. Faust Jr., of Wynnecote, Pa., said nothing appeared to be missing. He was called by John Gosik, a special watchman, who notified police when he discovered the entry at 4 a. m. Joseph Allman, 1250 Stirling st., Philadelphia, manager of the coat firm, told detectives he found nothing missing. At the wallpaper office, Andrew Oliver, 615 Graymar rd., Moorestown, said desks and cabinets were ransacked but nothing was missing.

Four Firemen Suffer Hurts In Collision Four Camden firemen were among persons injured over the weekend in motor vehicle accidents on South Jersey roads. The firemen were injured when their engine collided with a tractor-trailer at 2nd and Market sts. Saturday about 4.30 p. m. while they were on their way to answer an alarm which was false. Admitted to Cooper Hospital with arm, hip and knee injuries was Orville Goldsboro, 33, of 1730 S. 9th st. Released after treatment were August Johnson, 39, of 916½ Chestnut st., who suffered multiple bruises; Reginald Laws, 36, of 1453 Bradley ave., chest and back injuries, and Capt. Raymond Amos, 52, of 825 Washington st., leg injuries. Intersection Crash According to police, the fire apparatus, operated by James Clinton, was traveling north on 2nd st. and collided at the intersection with the tractor-trailer, driven by James E. Tarburton Jr., 32, of St. John's dr., Wilmington, Dela. The impact of the crash tossed the firemen off the rear step of the fire truck, which was forced over a curb and along a sidewalk for about 35 feet. The vehicle sideswiped two parked cars and knocked down a parking meter. Tarburton was charged with failure to yield the right of way to a fire apparatus. The false alarm was turned in from a box at Poynt and Erie sts.

A BLAZE IN CAMDEN. A Supposed Incendiary Fire Causes the Destruction of Considerable Property. A disastrous fire broke out about midnight Saturday on George street, below Front, Camden, and for a while threatened to destroy several valuable properties in that vicinity. The fire originated in a stable in the rear of the West Jersey Hotel, its origin being unknown. The horses and wagons were gotten out in safety but the buildings and their contents were entirely consumed, and from here the flames communicated to the large three story warehouse of Taylor Bros., which was also destroyed. The aggregated loss will amount to $22,300. D H. Lardman, whose property is in the rear of Market street, sustains a loss to building of $1000; insured for $700. His loss on stock will exceed $3500, insurance not known. Taylor Bros.' losses will exceed $8000; insured for $2000. This building was the property of the West Jersey Ferry Company, and was not insured. George Campbell, livery keeper, sustained a loss of $2000, insured in the North American Insurance Company for $1500. This building was owned by Samuel Cooper, and was valued at $2000; no insurance. Mr. Vanderslice, expressman, estimates his losses at $2500, with no insurance. The Penn Slate Mantle Works lose $500, with no insurance. The walls were standing in a dangerous condition yesterday, and Chief Daniel S. [sic] Carter ordered them taken down. In complying with the order, three firemen named Barney Harvey, Benjamin Kellum and Amos Middleton were severely injured by portions of it falling upon them. The residents on Market street complain of the inadequate supply of water for such a business thoroughfare.

Elimination of 20 City Blocks Urged by Housing Committee

Elimination of 20 City Blocks Urged by Housing Committee Advisory Board Suggests Razing 895 Dwellings In 2 Areas, Classified as Sub-Standard; Mayor Favors Plan For Parking Spaces Elimination of 20 blocks of what were characterized as sub-standard properties in Camden was recommended to the city yesterday by the Camden Housing Advisory Committee. Although it was urged that the city clear out two large areas as an economy measure, no plan was suggested whereby the city could obtain money to finance the clearance project. The two areas that would be affected if such a proposal were carried out are as follows: Area A: Tenth street to Twelfth street, between Market and Linden streets, embracing Linden, Penn, Lawrence and Cooper streets between Tenth and Twelfth. Area B: Line to Stevens streets, between Second and Third streets, embracing Stevens, Benson, Washington, Berkley, Senate, Clinton, Royden, Beckett and Line streets, between Second and Third. Made by Burnison The recommendation was made in the office of Mayor Frederick von Nieda by James W. Burnison, head of the housing advisory committee. Burnison termed the two areas of ten blocks each definitely sub-standard and said that the city should consider them for condemnation proceedings to effect an appreciable saving to Camden of municipal service costs. The recommendation was made on the basis of a survey completed by the State Housing Authority. Conditions in the 20 blocks were pictured as causing an annual total loss to the city of $156,791.04. In the two areas are 895 dwellings. It was estimated in the state survey that the city's annual operating costs in the first area, Area A, are $95,335.30. The annual income to the city in the same area was put at $27,061.63. The annual loss to the city was fixed by the survey as $68,273.67. Operating costs in Area B were estimated at $106,178.88 per year with an income of $17,661.51. The loss was placed at $88,517.37. The costs were said to embrace fire protection, police protection, education, relief and health expenditures. The income is from taxes and municipal liens. Burnison said that by tearing out the affected areas, free parking districts could be established there, bringing considerable trade and money to the city. Operating costs would be eliminated, he pointed out, and tax rates would go down generally with the removal of a costly burden. Joseph N. Hettel, also a member of the committee, pointed out that both areas would be ripe for use as industrial sites or for a new housing project. Hettel said that if a city housing authority were established, such an agency could obtain its own bonds and be established as an independent venture, divorced from the municipal government but perhaps subsidized by the federal government. Mayor von Nieda, expressing himself in harmony with plans for eliminating sub-standard areas, declared that he was opposed to the city's spending any money until the city could receive assurance that the income would be as much as the loss. The committee also considered the project on which the government is spending $3,000,000 at Westfield Acres in the construction of a low-cost housing venture. George V. Walsh, Camden district manager of the PWA housing division, said the superstructure bid of Anthony P. Miller, of Atlantic City, had been accepted. Jobs for 500 Men The Miller contract figure was $2,489,000. The contract has not been awarded as yet. Walsh said that foundation work would be finished Sept. 10 and that superstructure work would start Sept. 15. Completion in one year is provided by contract. Walsh said 500 men would be employed on the superstructure work and that 800 men would be given jobs at the peak of the work. The housing plan is for three-story apartments of three, four and five rooms each. There will be 598 apartments in all, with central heating and fireproof construction. The Westfield Acres project will cover 25 acres. Mayor von Nieda criticized the estimates of the state survey group when he said that the figures given for relief and school costs were high. These ate the city's main operating expenses, he said, and they would go on though persons living in the two areas went elsewhere. Abe Rosenfeld, a real estate man, and James V. Moran also attended the meeting. CALO DOG and CAT FOOD "His Master's Choice" Contains Choice Red Meat!

Merchant Fined After Dice Raid Elmer Parker, proprietor of a luncheonette and cigar store, 18 Market street, today was fined $100 by Municipal Court Judge Dzick on charges involving gambling. Detectives Edward Shapiro and John Moffa testified they broke up a dice game in the rear of the store Dec. 22 and confiscated several pairs of dice. The three players, they said, escaped through a rear door. Police said they found a "numbers book" under a table in the rear but Parker denied any knowledge of it. They said Parker was tending the counter at the time of the raid. Dzick then dismissed a charge of possessing number slips. Parker pleaded not guilty to both charges but did not testify. He was represented by Joseph Tomaselli.

FLAMES WRECKED AUTOS IN CAMDEN Over Score of Machines Destroyed by Fire in Garage, Which Badly Damaged Church Twenty-three Camden business and professional men mourn the loss of their automobiles as a result of a fire which yesterday morning destroyed the garage of J. G. Reeves, on North Seventh street just above Market. Evangelical Luthern Church, immediately adjoining, was badly damaged, and altogether the monetary loss amounts to about $100,000. Most of the machines were insured. Just what caused the fire is not known. It was discovered by Albert Hildreth, a watchman, who no sooner saw the flames than he went to the fire headquarters in an automobile at topmost speed. When the fireman arrived they had not been in service many minutes before there was a terrific explosion that sent the walls down. Three of them were hurled across the street and severely bruised. They included Peter Carter, John Lennox and John Lutz, all connected with headquarters. The explosion came presumably from stored gasoline. Such headway did the blaze gain that it was necessary to call out the entire city department. For a time a number of dwellings nearby were threatened and the occupants began moving their household effects. The good work of the firefighters prevented a serious conflagration, however. The force of the explosion blew a twenty-foot hole in the wall of the Lutheran Church. The automobiles were valued at about $75,000, the balance of the loss being on the building and church. Some of those who lost their autos include: Lawyer Ephraim Tomlinson, Charles K. Parry, Mrs. Mary Baird Fox, Mrs. B. C. Reeves, Dr. Wm. Knowlton, Dr. Oscar Grumbrecht, Dr. A. H. Lippincott, Dr. Paul Mecray, Dr. Marvin Street, C. H. Haddon, Dr. Frank Horning, John T. Bottomley, John Croft, Dr. Daniel Strock, Joseph Deacon and J. S. Reeves.

Found Guilty REINO A. THOMPSON 805 Linden street, who with Henry N. Mallet, of 119 North Ninth street, co-defendant, was found guilty of highway robbery by a jury in Criminal Court yesterday. The jury consisted of 11 persons. One was released after he informed the court he was "put on the spot." 'BUS BANDITS' FOUND GUILTY; FACE 15 YEARS Thompson and Mallet Convicted of Robbing Drivers in Short Time 'CONFESSION' FORCED, DEFENDANT DECLARES Juror Slugged, Case Goes on With Eleven in the Box Reino A. Thompson, 19, of 805 Linden street, and Henry N. Mallet, 21, of 119 North Ninth street, were both found guilty of highway robbery by a jury in Criminal Court yesterday after one hour and 20 minutes' deliberation. The maximum penalty for this crime is 15 years in state prison. Judge Samuel M. Shay will sentence the pair next week. At the opening of the case yesterday, it was revealed that one of the jurors had his head bandaged. An inquiry from the court brought out the fact that the juror had received two alleged beatings and was "put on the spot." Judge Shay allowed the man to leave the jury box and proceeded with 11 persons, an unprecedented situation in the history of the county court. Mallett Scores Police Thompson in his testimony exonerated Mallet of the crime and told the jurors he did the robbery. Mallet, who had made a signed confession, which was introduced into court, testified he was given rough tactics by the police and compelled to sign the statement. Mallet said that at the time of the robbery he was eating in a Camden restaurant. Later he met Thompson (Continued on Page Twenty-four) 2 Youths Convicted As 'Bus Bandits' (Continued from Page One) and they went for a ride through Merchantville. When several policemen approached, Thompson wrecked the car in attempting to escape and Mallet suffered a severe cut over his right eye. When taken to the station house, Mallet testified, Bangs struck him repeatedly on his injured eye "until I would have confessed anything and signed without knowing what I was doing." Thompson, who admitted his part in the holdup, corroborated Mallet's testimony. Charles B. Kay, 53, of 435 Liberty street, was the juror who said he had been attacked by thugs. He declared he suffered four broken ribs and cuts and bruises. His head was swathed in gauze when he appeared in the courtroom. In further explanation, Kay said he was put "on the spot." He volunteered no further explanation than that, but asked to be excused, as he had to report back to the West Jersey Homeopathic Hospital today for treatment. Excused From Duty He was excused by the court after Assistant Prosecutor Rocco Palese and Frank M. Lario, attorney for the defendants, agreed to continue with eleven jurors. Kay walked into the hospital at 4 a. m. and asked for treatment. He said that a man offered to give him a lift in an automobile while he was standing at Third and Mechanic streets. A woman was with the "good samaritan," according to Kay, who averred that instead of going to the Market street ferries the man drove the car out Mt. Ephraim avenue. Kay asserted that when he protested the man struck him and threw him out of the machine. No attempt was made to rob him. Police investigating the attack stated that Kay had been drinking and told varying stories, first saying he knew the couple and later denying he knew who they were. Reino, who was exonerated of killing his father last April, and Mallett are said to have confessed to 13 robberies, but they were placed on trial on charges of holding up Leon Garringer, 4725 Poplar avenue, Pennsauken, and Fred Crowder, 6308 Shelbourne street, Philadelphia, on Aug. 5. Garringer and Crowder are bus drivers and were on the witness stand today. Garringer said he stopped his Public Service bus at Park avenue and Haddonfield road, Pennsauken township, at 11 p. m. that night. Later, Crowder parked his bus and came into Garringer's bus. Garringer was reading a paper and Crowder was counting his receipts when a coupe containing two men pulled up beside the buses. One of the coupe's occupants entered the bus, levelled a revolver at the two drivers and yelled, "Stick 'em up!" He stole $19 from Crowder and then ran back to the coupe, where his companion had been waiting at the driver's wheel. Caught After Chase Crowder corroborated Garringer's testimony, and Chief of Police William H. Linderman was called by the state. Chief Linderman said his men captured Thompson Aug. 9 after a long chase and later arrested Mallett. The following day, Thompson sent for him, saying he wanted "to come clean." Thompson confessed to the bus holdup, Chief Linderman said, and implicated Mallett. Palese succeeded in having the confession accepted in evidence and it was read to the jury. Policemen Edward J. Hare and Herbert A. Davidson, Jr., of Merchantville, stopped an automobile at Maple and Westminister avenues. They were suspicious of the registration, and bade the driver, who was Mallett, to follow them to the police station. Thompson was in the car. Instead of stopping at the station, the driver turned into Park avenue, where a pistol was thrown out of the automobile. The police gave chase. Near Maple Shade, the car went into a ditch and overturned. Thompson was caught but Mallet escaped. He was later arrested in Camden when his mother allegedly revealed his hiding place to police. Thompson was arrested when his father died last April of injuries to his head suffered when he fell after being struck by Reino. The youth said he struck in self-defense. Also his mother pleaded his cause. Young Thompson promised to "lead a good life" and help support his mother and her family. He was then released by the grand jury.

Camden Courier-Post story on a faked kidnaping and pay robbery, August 29, 1936

Admitting he faked a kidnaping and robbery story yesterday to fleece 12 of his fellow workers of their weekly earnings, a South Philadelphia youth last night was held without bail after he directed police to recover the money. The youth is Anthony Carrozza, 20, of 1021 Wolf street, Philadelphia, an employe of the RCA Manufacturing Company. After cashing the checks of 12 fellow workers totaling $369.64, police said, Carrozza gave the money to an unidentified friend to take to Philadelphia and after two hours returned to the plant and related a robbery story. Carrozza was chosen by workers in the cabinet factory to cash a number of their pay checks every Friday at the West Jersey Trust Company, Third and Market streets. He was employed on a night shift, and would arrive at the factory shortly after noon on pay day, collect the checks and return the cash. Tells of Kidnaping About 2 p. m. yesterday Carrozza left the plant with the checks. At 4:30 p. m. he returned and told the (Continued on Page 16—Column 6) Pay Holdup Faked, Youth Tells Cops (Continued from Page One) 12 men he had been held up as he left the bank, abducted and tossed from a car in Moorestown after he had been robbed of their money. Carrozza told the workers he had reported the robbery to Moorestown police and they informed him he would have to make a report to Camden police, where the kidnaping occurred. Accompanied by his fellow workers he was led to Detective Bureau where he told his story to Detectives Thomas Murphy and August Fortune. Carrozza first said he was about to cross Third street to return to the plant after leaving the bank when he was accosted by two Negroes, revolvers in hand, who ordered him to enter a nearby parked car with a third man at the wheel and the motor running. The car was driven to Moorestown, Carrozza told Murphy and Fortune, where he was robbed of the money and tossed from the car. Carrozza told police he then went to the Moorestown police headquarters and reported the theft. Carrozza said he had some change in his watch-pocket and boarded a bus and returned to his place of employment. After hearing Carrozza's story, Murphy noted several discrepancies and ordered Carrozza held for further questioning. Youth Confesses Less than an hour later Murphy and Fortune announced Carrozza had admitted telling a false story to obtain the money. Carrozza, the detectives said, gave the money to a friend after he left the bank and instructed him to take it to Philadelphia, where he would meet him later after he finished work. Murphy and Fortune then took Carrozza to Philadelphia and directed them to Warnock and Porter streets, where he pointed to a youth standing on the corner. Brought to the police car, the youth, whose name was withheld by police, readily gave the money to Carrozza. The entire amount was recovered. Murphy said the 12 men whose checks were cashed by Carrozza will be summoned to the detective bureau today and their money returned. Murphy declared that in the event none of the 12 wished to prefer charges against Carrozza he would be released at that time. The intended victims of the hoax are William Matteo, of 628 South Fourth street, and Vito Ladik, of 404 Clinton street, both of Camden, and Abraham Mozeff, of 3524 South Mildred street; Eugene DeRenzi, of 1144 Tree street; James Visconi, of 2017 Mercy street; Ralph Vulli, of 2128 Morris street; John Schipani, of 1728 Ellsworth street; Joseph Maroni, of 2225 South Chadwick street; Vincent Giannone, of 1634 South Eleventh street; Roger DiBenedetto, of 2100 West Stella street; Anthony Petroneck, of 26 Queen street, and Dominick Campagnola, of 1718 Morris street, all of Philadelphia.

RECAPPING VULCANIZING U. S. Tire Service 920 MARKET STREET Camden, N. J. DISTRIBUTORS OF U. S. TIRES The Origin of St. Joseph's Parish—Continued In the middle part of the eighteenth century (1744) a celebrated Jesuit, the Reverend Theodore Schneider, D.D. was companion to Father Harding, S.J., at Old St. Joseph's, Fourth and Willings Alley, Philadelphia. Father Schneider acted as missionary to West Jersey, where he made regular stops at Bound Brook, Burlington, and Gloucester—which then included Camden. Thence he journeyed south to Cohansey (Bridgeton), and Salem, generally winding up at the glass house near Alloway, where he frequently said Mass and baptized at the house of Matthew Geiger. Upon his death in 1765 the Reverend Ferdinand Steynemeyer, better known as "Father Farmer," took up the labors. He paid frequent visits during English and American troops stationed along the east bank of the Delaware from the revolutionary period to both the Salem to Burlington. It is also quite certain that Bishop Carroll, on one occasion at least, passed through Camden, but there is no known record of his officiating at any religious services at that time. After the death of Father Farmer in 1786, the West Jersey missions were visited for several years by priests from St. Joseph's, but on the organization of St. Augustine's, July, 1796, they seem to have been transferred to the jurisdiction of the priests of that church.

Our Twenty-third Year The Origin of St. Joseph's Parish—Continued affairs. In 1828 the entire population was only 1143 souls. After 1828 the old Academy, which stood on the site of the present Court House, was used as Council Chamber, City Hall, and general utility building. In 1830 the Camden and Amboy railroad was begun, causing the tide of immigrants to turn toward Camden. Many Catholics from Ireland were attracted in the hope of good work, but they were still not enough for a separate parish. Priests from the Cathedral continued to visit the settlement periodically, although many crossed the river on Sunday to hear Mass in one of the Philadelphia churches. There were 15,000 people in Camden in 1850, of whom about 300 were Catholic. Father Waldron was in charge of the Gloucester Mission in 1849, and after much tribulation he erected a small brick church there. Fathers Jeremiah Donahue and H. B. Finnegan succeeded Father Waldron in quick succession. In 1851 Father Hannegan was appointed first resident pastor of Gloucester, with jurisdiction over Camden, which became a separate county in 1844. Mass was celebrated in Camden every two or three weeks in a private house or in one of the public halls, principally Starr's Hall.

CHIEF COLSEY DIES AT 67 OF HEART ATTACK Police Head Succumbs During Sleep While Suffering From Cold MEMBER OF FORCE IN CAMDEN 27 YEARS Chief of Police Arthur Colsey, veteran of 27 years in the department, died of a heart attack in his sleep at his home, 2937 Stevens street, last night. He was 67. Apparently in good health except for a slight cold, Chief Colsey left his office in City Hall at noon yesterday, telling his assistants he was going home "to nurse the cold." Shortly after 5 p. m., Chief Colsey asked his son, Arthur, Jr., to take Mrs. Colsey on a shopping trip. When they returned two hours later, they found him dead on a couch. The son said his father told him he was going to take a nap before he went to a doctor's office to receive treatment for the cold. Chief Colsey was a Camden merchant before entering the police department. For years he was active in the Republican party. He was highly respected by all men in the department. The chief was quiet in manner and the excitement pertaining to strikes in the city a few years ago found him calm in the most delicate situations. Born in Kidderminster, England, in December, 1872, he came to this country when 17. He was in the department store business with his brothers at Ninth and Market streets for years. He served in the old City Council from 1907 to 1911 from the Second ward. At that time he lived at Eighth and Linden streets. Joined Force in 1912 Colsey was appointed a patrolman by former Mayor Charles H. Ellis on March 13, 1912, while Elisha A. Gravenor was chief. After several months as a street patrolman he was assigned to the First District patrol wagon. Then he was made a district detective. Next he was promoted to a full ranking detective under Detective Chief William Schregler. After being appointed a detective he was assigned as a plainclothesman and secretary to Mayor Ellis. He served in this capacity seven years. In 1923 he was appointed chief clerk of the police department with the rank of captain. In 1924 he was made chief of the vice squad, which made 380 raids for prohibition law violations. The squad also assisted the federal authorities in 180 more liquor raids and participated in 54 raids on disorderly houses and 38 gambling places. In 1927 the City Commission abolished the rank of captain in the department and Colsey remained as chief clerk without the title. The rank of captain was restored to him by the City Commission in (Continued on Page 3—Column 2) Chief Colsey Dies In Sleep at 67 (Continued from Page One) 1932 by motion of Commissioner David S. Rhone. When former Chief John W. Golden retired on a pension on June 11, 1934, Colsey was named acting chief by Mayor Roy R. Stewart. He was named permanent chief on August 30, 1934, by Mayor Stewart. At the same time John H. Lennox was named permanent chief of the fire department. During the absence of City Commissioner Mary W. Kobus, director of public safety, Chief Colsey was acting director. Colsey was one of the most popular men who served as chief, both in his department and in civic and political circles. After he was made a full ranking captain in 1932 a series of testimonial dinners were given by the East End Republican League, Twelfth Ward Republican Club and Eleventh Ward Republican Clubs. He was boomed for chief at each of the dinners. Another testimonial was given when he was acting chief by the Camden Police and Firemen's Association. In February, 1931, his appointment as chief was urged to succeed Chief Lewis H. Stehr but Golden was named. While a resident of North Camden he served as president of the Second Ward Republican Club. He was president of the Twelfth Ward Republican Club in 1932. Prominent Lodgeman Chief Colsey was a thirty-second degree Mason, being a member of Trimble Lodge, No. 117, Free and Accepted Masons; Crescent Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and Camden Forest, No. 5, Tall Cedars of Lebanon. He also was a member Camden Lodge, No. 293, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; Camden Lodge, No. 111, Loyal Order of Moose; Camden Aerie, No. 65, Fraternal Order of Eagles; Sons of St. George, Foresters of America, Improved Order of Red Men, Camden Local, Patrolmen's Benevolent Association; International Police Chiefs' Association, New Jersey State Police Chiefs' Association, Camden Police and Fire Association, and the Camden County Republican Association. Coroner Ernest Larossa issued the death certificate due to a heart ailment. The funeral will be held at 2 p. m., Wednesday with burial in Arlington Cemetery. Other arrangements have not been completed. The body will be on view from 7 to 9 p. m., Tuesday at the home. The chief is survived by his widow, Lillie; a brother, Thomas Colsey, a merchant and ranking officer of the Loyal Order of Moose; and two grandchildren, Arthur Colsey, 3rd., and Lillian Colsey. The grandson, a student at Western Maryland College, was notified last night of his grandfather's death and left immediately for Camden.

CAMDEN - Subaru of America isn't expected to move here until sometime next year, but the firm's already had a change of address.

City Council members voted Tuesday to rename one block of Mount Ephraim Avenue that runs past the construction site for the auto firm's future headquarters.

The action followed a similar change in June, when council gave a new name to Morgan Street at the future home of a Holtec International manufacturing complex. That stretch of road became Holtec Boulevard between Interstate 676 and the South Jersey Port Corp. complex.

Subaru Drive will run between Admiral Wilson Boulevard and South 11th Street.

Both companies also have received sizable state tax incentives to locate in Camden.

Subaru, which is leaving facilities in Cherry Hill and Pennsauken, obtained a 10-year tax break worth $118 million from the state Economic Development Authority. The EDA provided $260 million in incentives to Holtec.

Subaru has said it will move 500 jobs to Camden and create 100 more over the next decade. Holtec has said it will have 350 workers when its campus opens by mid-2018, with the potential for thousands more.

Camden, where many names reflect local history, previously has changed its street signs to honor residents and dignitaries.

Among other examples, Division Street became Ramona Gonzalez Street in 1997, saluting a community leader who co-founded the city's San Juan Bautista parade. That same year, council changed Van Hook Street to Carl Miller Boulevard to honor a longtime funeral director who had died a few years earlier.

The city, where a major downtown thoroughfare honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (most will know it as Mickle Boulevard), also has named streets after songwriter-producer Kenneth Gamble, boxer Jersey Joe Walcott and former Mayor Gwendolyn Faison, among others.

Transplant Craves Old Diner

Camden Courier-Post — February 23, 2007

By KEVIN RIORDAN

MOUNT EPHRAIM — The Harwan Theater is coming down, but the adjacent DiNic's Roast Beef, a former White Tower restaurant, is moving on.

To West Virginia.

A self-described "dinerholic" who grew up in Collingswood is paying to have the landmark little eatery picked up and trucked about 300 miles from the Black Horse Pike to his home in Morgantown, W. Va. The Mount Ephraim site is being cleared for construction of a Walgreens.

"I always wanted a diner," John Shoaf, a 64-year-old retired teacher and respected preservationist, said Thursday. "Most people pretty much think it's crazy. My better half thinks I'm out of my mind."

A 1960 Collingswood High School graduate, Shoaf is hardly unique in his love of diners, which have inspired numerous scholarly and pop-culture books,as well as fan sites on the Web. The Mount Ephraim White Tower meets the definition of a diner despite its minuscule size because it's a manufactured structure and was shipped to its site (in 1946 or thereabouts, Shoaf believes).

Accommodating the removal rather than the demolition of a building "is a little unusual, in our experience, unless the building is historic," said Jake Todd, senior project manager for the Bannett Group, the Cherry Hill firm constructing the Walgreens.

"It could be the only one left in existence," said Shoaf, adding the Mount Ephraim White Tower was one of 15 manufactured by the Arthur Valentine company of Wichita, Kan.

Paul M. Hirshorn, who co-authored White Tower — the definitive (and only) book on the subject — said the Valentine buildings were designed to the specifications of White Tower's in-house architect, Charles Johnson.

With its gleaming porcelain exterior, big windows and brightly lit tower, Johnson's iconic design "was able to communicate its message… in a sophisticated and successful way" to passing motorists, said Hirshorn.

Nostalgia is clearly a part of the affection for these buildings, said John S. Flack, a Marlton resident who maintains a web site devoted to the defunct Burger Chef chain.

"People like to go back to their childhoods," he observed.

Indeed, as Shoaf shared via e-mail, "when I was younger, my parents told me I could go anywhere for my birthday, and I always [went to] White Tower [on] Admiral Wilson Boulevard… for a sack of hamburgers." So Shoaf is willing to spend his hard-earned money — Shoaf won't say how much — to bring the one-time home of that taste to West Virginia.

He'll place the old White Tower on land he owns overlooking I-79.

And someday, Shoaf said, he'd like to fire up that grill again.

Boulevard was named for Decorated World War I admiral

Camden Courier-Post — September 6, 1999

By LAURIE STUART Courier-Post

Admiral Wilson.

Motorists who have driven through Camden instantly recognize the name, but most don't know who he is.

Henry Braid Wilson was born in Camden in 1861. At the age of 15, he went to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., where he graduated in 1881. He soon began his illustrious Navy career, first as a training officer for apprentices, then serving in the West Indies, Bering Sea, Pacific Ocean and the Great Lakes.

Wilson saw action in the Spanish-American War as a lieutenant, and was"highly commended for coolness and bravery," says a newspaper account.

In 1916, he was assigned to the command of the USS Pennsylvania, flagship of the commander-in-chief of the Atlantic Fleet. The following year… when the United States entered World War I… he was assigned commander of the U.S. Naval Forces in France. For his "outstanding wartime services, Admiral Wilson was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal,the Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor of France, Commander of the Order of St. Maurice and St. Lazarus of Italy and the Grand Official of the Military Order of Avia of Portugal," the newspaper account says. In 1919, Wilson became commander-in-chief of the Atlantic Fleet. Two years later, he was appointed superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy. In 1923, he retired with the rank of rear admiral. In accordance with a Congressional Act, he was later given the rank of admiral.

Although Wilson retired to California, then to New York, his parents still lived in Camden, where his father, also Henry B. Wilson, was a member of the Camden Board of Education. In fact, the H. B. Wilson School at 9th and Florence streets is named for his father.

So when do Admiral Wilson and the boulevard cross paths? While some people think that was on Armistice Day in 1929, that's not altogether true.

Bridge Entrance Road or Bridge Boulevard opened in 1925 as the main highway to the Ben Franklin Bridge. Four years later, Wilson returned as an honored guest of Camden and during Armistice Day ceremonies, officials decided to rename the highway "in honor of Camden's great native son."

So South Jerseyans came to know the highway as Admiral Wilson Boulevard. What they thought, however, didn't ring true. While everyone was under the impression that the boulevard… which goes through Camden and Pennsauken… had been renamed in 1929, there was a slight wrinkle. In 1937, it was discovered that the name change had not been made official.

"When the Forest Hills development was made, Camden approved a change of name honoring one of Camden's most renowned citizens, and later, during the administration of Mayor Winfield S.Price, a resolution was passed to make the name, as the then commissioners thought, official," says a Nov. 18, 1937 Courier-Post article.

"But an ordinance to approve the change was necessary, and no ordinance was ever passed… So next Wednesday, when commissioners meet a day early on account of the Thanksgiving holiday, Commissioner Frank J. Hartmann will sponsor an ordinance which will make Bridge Boulevard Admiral Wilson Boulevard once and for all. Pennsauken Township is expected to do the same."

Widow Routed by Blaze A Camden woman whose husband was killed seven weeks ago in a traffic mishap today was routed from her home when fire broke out in the upstairs bedroom for the second time within six hours. Mrs. Edith McDevitt, 45, of 916 Front St. was aroused while sleeping on the living room couch about 8 a.m. as she heard what appeared to be stones hitting a window. As Mrs. McDevitt investigated she discovered the noise was fire crackling in the bedroom upstairs. She then ran to the rear door where she called for neighbors' aid. One of the neighbors notified the fire department. Two Overcome Responding to the alarm were Engine Companies 2 and 6 and Ladder Company 1. According to Fire Capt. Joseph Wolfinger, flames had engulfed the bedroom and flames shot from windows as firemen arrived at the scene. The fire was quickly extinguished although two firemen — Acting Capt. John Brzozowski of Engine Company 2 and Fireman Samuel Fisher of Ladder No. 1 — were overcome by smoke. Both were treated at the scene. According to authorities, Mrs. MeDevitt reported she had taken medication before retiring about 11 o'clock last night. She apparently fell asleep before finishing a cigarette which ignited the mattress. Doused Mattress Fire However, she doused the mattress fire—about 2 a.m.—with a bucket of water. Believing the fire out, she went downstairs and slept on the couch. Mrs. McDevitt told firemen she has been prescribed a depressant medication since the death of her husband, James, who was killed last April 22 when the car he was driving crashed into a viaduct overpass on Admiral Wilson Boulevard near Federal Street. Authorities said Mrs. McDevitt's bedroom had extensive fire damage but was contained to that area. More than $300 in coins also was recovered for the widow after she informed firemen that a pitcher broken during the fire contained many coins.

'Stocking' Bandit Hunt Underway Police are searching for two armed bandits who early today held up the night clerk of the Oasis Motel, Admiral Wilson Boulevard, and made off with $104 in cash. According to police, John Manning, 60, of 2120 Watson Street, was alone in the office when two men wearing gray caps and stocking masks over their faces entered through a rear door. After Manning turned over the money in the cash register, the bandits forced him to accompany them, he said. When they reached the top of the ramp near Baird Boulevard, he was freed. The two bandits fled on foot in the direction of Park Boulevard. Manning said one of the hold-up men was about 5 ft. 5 inches tall, the other 5 ft. 7 inches. Both were described as Negroes, about 25 years old. An undetermined amount of money, including money collected for the New Jersey Sales tax, was reported stolen today by a South Camden tavern owner. Steve Raczykowski, owner of Steve's Tavern, 1800 Fillmore Street, said he was unable to estimate immediately how much cash and merchandise were stolen. Police said Clara Iaveccia, who lives in an apartment above the tavern, heard noises below at 5 a.m. and called police. They found a grating on a cellar window had been removed and a door leading to the bar forced.

4 Hurt as Auto Strikes Pole Strewing Live Wires on Road

Camden Courier-Post — February 4, 1938

Camden Courier-Post - Feburary 4, 1938

Four persons in a small coupe were injured last night when the machine crashed into a pole at Seventeenth Street and Admiral Wilson Boulevard during a dense fog.

The car broke off a telephone pole at the base, strewing live wires on the highway. Traffic was detoured until the damage could be repaired by Bell Telephone Company linemen.

The fog, which covered Camden and its suburbs like a blanket, grounded air liners at Central Airport, slowed up motor traffic on highways and the Camden bridge.

Thomas Tomlinson, 18, of Oak Avenue, Delaware Township, was taking driving lessons in a car he purchased a week ago when he crashed into the pole. Police said three passengers were crowded in the front seat and three more in a rumble seat.

Tomlinson was driving on a student's permit and was accompanied by Allen Filer, 20, a licensed driver, of 713 Grant Street, police learned, Filer is in Cooper Hospital with a fractured right leg. His brother, William, 18, suffered a possible concussion of the brain and is in the same hospital. Tomlinson received bruises of the right leg and arm and was treated at Cooper Hospital.

Samuel McCall, 18, of 708 Bailey Street, was taken to West Jersey Hospital, where he was treated for cuts of the nose. He told police there that someone struck him with a bottle and he would get his assailant later. When taken to police headquarters. McCall was confronted by the others and admitted he was injured in the automobile accident, City Detective Benjamin Simon said.

Mary Williamson, 18, and Eleanor Shockley, 16, both of 625 North Front Street, escaped with a few minor bruises.

Delaware river ferryboats were operated with caution as the view of pilots was obscured, by the density of the fog. Whistles were blown continuously and fog bells rang throughout the night.

Automobiles and buses were slowed down to five miles an hour by thick fog in the suburbs, especially in lowlands and near meadows.

The airport reported all local planes grounded and no airliners were making a call here.

The Weather Bureau forecast indicated it will be colder and cloudy today. The cloudiness will increase tomorrow followed by rain at night.

Commissioner Asks Legal Opinion on Plot Restrictions Plan Filed in 1921 Says Only Private Dwellings Can Be Erected CITY DECLARED LOSER In an effort to see if something may not be done for industrial, commercial and residential development of real estate on each side of Admiral Wilson boulevard from Baird boulevard to the Pennsauken township line, City Commissioner Frank J. Hartmann, Jr., yesterday contacted City Solicitor E. C. G. Bleakly. An odd restriction in the Forest Hill Gardens plan is believed to have deprived the city of Camden of considerable business, Commissioner Hartmann said. The restriction, incorporated in a plan by Walter MacNamara, filed in October, 1921, provides that "No improvements other than private dwellings costing not less than $2500 with privileges of private garages shall be erected on any lots shown on said plan . . ." The plan covers the area from Baird boulevard to the city line and from Cooper river to Marlton pike. Lots fronting on Baird boulevard, and lots 1 to 58 fronting on Marlton pike are excepted. As a result, Commissioner Hartmann said, many factories, gas stations and other business have sprung up in Pennsauken that might otherwise have been opened in Camden. Threatens Action Unless the restrictions are removed, the Commissioner warned, he will insist that valuation of the property on the bridge boulevard east of Baird boulevard should be so increased as to force owners to build to increase city revenue and justify the value of the land. "Either there will be worthwhile buildings or higher assessments comparing with upper Admiral Wilson boulevard property," the commissioner said. Properties on the south side of Admiral Wilson boulevard, their frontage and valuation are: (east from Baird boulevard) Camden Safe Deposit and Trust company, 766.72 feet, $8650 valuation for ground; Hatch Land Improvement company, 145 feet, $3425 for land and $7825 for improvements; Forest Hill Boat club, 60 feet, $350 valuation for ground; and Camden Safe Deposit and Trust company, $25,550 for ground as far as the city line. Properties Listed On the opposite side of the bridge boulevard are the following properties: Baird to Somerset street; First Camden National Bank and Trust, 103 feet, $2125 valuation for ground; Henry B. Coles, Jr., 56 feet, $2125 for ground; Combex corporation, 40 feet, $1925; Blanch I. Smith, 40 feet, $1925; Combex corporation, lots of 60, 40 and 90 feet, assessed at $2875, $1925 and $4325. Somerset street to Thorndyke street; Camden Safe Deposit and Trust, 400 feet, $19,200 for ground. Thorndyke street to city line: Camden Safe Deposit and Trust, 380 feet, $18,250 for ground; Raflin Realty company, Inc., 3 lots of 60, 60, and 65 feet, assessed at $2875, $2875 and $3125.

18 Drivers Cleared Due to Icy Streets

Camden Courier-Post — February 26, 1936

Judge Liberman Takes Weather Into Consideration in Showing Clemency

Eighteen motorists arrested for minor traffic violations were shown clemency last night in traffic court by Judge Lewis Liberman because of the recent icy condition of the streets.

Walter E. Phillips, 24, Palmyra, was summoned because his car was parked on a sidewalk near Broadway and Kaighn Avenue. He said the ice was so thick he could not tell which was the sidewalk. The charge was dismissed.

Sakaris Vatne, 45, of 70 Franklin avenue, Laurel Springs, and Leroy Kester, 33, of 53 Park avenue, Oaklyn, who were driving in the rear of Brodgen and followed him past the light, were dismissed. Vatne testified he is on relief and Judge Liberman asked him where he was getting his gasoline. He said on credit.

“I guess your credit is good here,” Liberman remarked.

Ferdinand Gordon, 26, of 23 Miles avenue, Bordentown, posted $2 security also for passing the light at “Fort Laib” at Admiral Wilson and Baird boulevards and appeared in court to answer the charge.

“How much did it cost you to come to this hearing?” Judge Liberman asked.

“One dollar and 75 cents,” Gordon replied.

“Well I’ll return your $2,” Liberman said. “You won’t make much profit at that.”

Fourteen other cases were dismissed and five were postponed.

At the headquarters of Freihofer Bakery Company, Fifth and Berkley streets, where several bakery wagons were being loaded, the runaway animal frightened the horses of the company, and one bolted. Both horses crossed Broadway, demoralizing traffic and sending scores of children running in all directions to escape the menace of flying hoofs and a careening wagon. At the railroad tracks, the bakery wagon and one horse was captured. The other horse turned north in Sixth street, pursued by Motorcycle Policeman William Thorn. Thorn overtook the horse and brought it to a stop at Sixth and Stevens streets, opposite Cooper Hospital. The animal was taken to the city stables at Federal street and Admiral Wilson boulevard, where it was later claimed by the driver.

Four Men and Woman Admit Dispute Charge

Camden Courier-Post — June 6, 1933

Four men and a woman were fined $25 each yesterday after they perplexed Police Judge Pancoast by pleading guilty to a disorderly conduct charge, but denied that they had been disorderly.

The defendants are Joseph and William Greenan, brothers, 38 and 24, respectively, both of 741 Fairview street; Edward Covey, 24, of 2221 South Seventh Street; Walter Koscianski, 28, of 966 Bulson Street, and Mary Johnson, 18, of 224 Morris Street, Gloucester.

They were arrested Sunday night by Motorcycle Policeman Thomas Kauffman at Tenth and Bulson Streets. Earlier, he had stopped them on Admiral Wilson Boulevard and because they had been drinking but were not drunk, he told them to go home.

Later someone called police headquarters and said that Kauffman was drunk. He was suspicious and arrested the five. Yesterday they pleaded guilty to charges of disorderly conduct, but denied they had telephoned headquarters or had done anything disorderly.

Political Paragraphs

Camden Courier-Post — October 23, 1931

A. Harry Moore, Democratic candidate for governor, is scheduled to speak at the meeting of Gloucester Democrats in the city hall there next Wednesday night. The meeting will be in charge of Mayor J. Emerson Jackson and the county Democratic committee.

The Polish-American Women's Citizens Club, in its recent resolution pledging support to David Baird, endorsed a candidate for the first time in the club's six-year history, according to Mrs. Priscilla Ciechanowski, secretary. The club is two to one for Baird, she said. Other officers are Mrs. A. Bec, president; Mrs. H. Stojak, vice-president, and Mrs. A. Skierska, treasurer.

A huge new sign, in vivid lettering, has appeared on the east side of Admiral Wilson Boulevard, south of Baird Boulevard, urging a vote for Baird November 3. It is one of the largest campaign signs in Camden County.

Congressman Charles A. Wolverton is appearing almost everywhere with Baird. The congressman is one of the gubernatorial nominee's ablest campaign advisers. He was with the candidate at the Trenton convention of the New Jersey Taxpayers' Association Wednesday.

David Tattersdill, Broadway merchant, is among the latest members of the Speakers' Bureau at Republican headquarters, Broadway and Stevens Street. He is one of the organizers of the Forty-second Street Baird Boosters' Club.

No Socialist or prohibition applications for challengers were filed here.

Joseph A. Varbalow, former assistant prosecutor, was so eager to read Moore's speech he had to borrow a cent from Chief of County Detectives Lawrence T. Doran to buy the Morning Post.
