JURY CLEARS YOUTH OF HOLDUP CHARGE
Was Accused of Trying to Rob Woman Cashier in Restaurant

After deliberating for two and a half hours; a Camden Criminal Court jury late yesterday found Charles White, 22, of 443 Kaighn Avenue, not guilty of attempted holdup.

White was tried for the alleged attempt to rob Miss Hope Hemingway, of 812 Line Street, a cashier at the Horn & Hardart restaurant, 1140 Broadway, last December 22. The case went to the jury at 3:15 p.m., and the verdict was returned at 5.45 p.m.

White, who pleaded not guilty, said he and two companions had been drinking and that he had no recollection of the attempted robbery. Arrested with him were Stanley Markiewicz, 18, of 422 Viola street, and Joseph Marino, 22, of 261 Mt. Vernon street. Markiewicz was not accused of the attempted holdup but was given an indefinite sentence in Rahway Reformatory for carrying a pistol. When arrested he claimed the pistol had been placed in his pocket by White.

Marino pleaded non vult to the attempted robbery charge, was sentenced to state prison from two years and nine months to three years. They were sentenced several months ago.

The men were alleged to have fled when Miss Hemingway screamed as they demanded the day's receipts. They were arrested a short time later at Broadway and Jefferson streets.
