Judge Dzick Cracks Down: Tipsy Driver Jailed, Others Will Follow A Camden man was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined a total of $224.50 today after Municipal Judge Dzick found him guilty of driving while drunk. The defendant was Francis A. Burns, 48, of 3280 Mitchell st., who was arrested Dec. 17 and pronounced unfit to drive by Dr. Lee J. Hammett, police surgeon. Burns pleaded not guilty. Before being led away to jail, Burns was given a sharp lecture by Judge Dzick, who announced that all persons found guilty of drunken driving would be jailed. 26 Cases Pending "I thought the public had learned a lesson from all of the editorials and all of the pleading by The Courier-Post asking people not to drink and drive," Judge Dzick said. "The safety campaign which The Courier-Post has so diligently pushed seems to have gone in one ear and out the other. "There are 26 drunken driving cases still pending on the court calendar. From now on I will jail everyone found guilty." Then Judge Dzick told Burns: "You may think I'm a tough judge, but by the time you get out of jail you'll think I've done you a favor." Burns, questioned by his attorney, Remo M. Croce, testified he had had only one glass of beer before being arrested, but that he (Continued on Page 3—Column 2) Tipsy Case (Continued From Page One) had taken a compound of sedatives for a nervous condition. Dr. Hammett testified, however, that his examination showed Burns was unfit to drive due to intoxication. Patrolman Roy C. Newkirk Jr. testified he arrested Burns at 4.38 p. m. Dec. 17 after Burns turned left from Federal st., cutting across the path of the policeman's auto, and headed the wrong way into 24th st., bucking oncoming traffic. Newkirk testified that Burns' car was "weaving." Hit-Runner Fined Burns was fined $200 on the charge, plus $20 medical costs and $4.50 court costs. In another case, Lapole Fuller, 37, of 1171 Lawrence st., was acquitted of drunken driving but found guilty of hit-run driving. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 or serve 60 days in jail. He pleaded not guilty to both charges. Fuller was arrested on complaint of Edmund Anyzek Jr., of 827 Liberty st., who testified that Fuller's car struck a fuel oil truck belonging to Anyzek's father, which was parked in front of the Anyzek residence on the morning of Dec. 19. Anyzek testified that Fuller backed his car away following the collision and drove off. Two Other Cars Hit Patrolman Edward Fulton testified that Fuller then rammed two other parked cars in the vicinity of 10th st. and Kaighns ave. before he was halted and placed under arrest. Dr. John J. Fleitz, police surgeon, told the court there was no indication Fuller was drunk, and that the defendant had been pronounced fit to drive.

Youth Held in Attempt To Strangle Girl, 16, Quizzed on Murder Police Grill Suspect About Garroting of Church Worker A South Camden youth is under questioning today in the garrote slaying of Richard H. Thompson, 36-year-old churchworker, after his arrest Thursday night for attempting to strangle a girl with a length of clothesline. Leroy Snyder, 18, of 736 Cherry street, was arrested on complaint of Gertrude Jones, 16, of 536 Liberty street. The girl told police she was walking along Walnut street near Sixth about 11 p. m. when she was attacked by a youth who looped a piece of clothesline about her neck and tossed her to the ground. The girl said she screamed and began to struggle. Her shouts were heard by a minister, the Rev. Isaac Foulkes, pastor of the New Union Baptist Church, 608 Walnut street, of which the girl is a member. The Rev. Mr. Foulkes was looking at books in the church and ran outside. Seeing him, the suspect fled. District Detective John Opfer responded to the alarm and with the girl in his car began a tour of the neighborhood. About a block from the scene, Opfer said, the girl pointed to Snyder and he was arrested. At police headquarters Miss Jones identified Snyder as the one who attacked her. Detective George Ellis and County Detective James McLaughlin, who are investigating the Thompson murder, were notified. Ellis said Snyder would be questioned and the clothesline would be checked against the one found knotted tightly around Thompson's neck when he was discovered Oct. 15 in an areaway behind a row of garages at Fifth and Mickle streets.
