Pearl
Street

PEARL STREET runs east from the Delaware River between Pearland Birch Streets, and at one time extended all the way out to North 12th Street. As with Pearl Street, much of Pearl Street over the years has been razed to make way for the Ben Franklin Bridge, Rutgers, the toll plaza, and related projects.

Do you have an Pearl Street memory or picture. Let me know by e-mail so it can be included here.

LOSER IN TAPROOM FIGHT HALTS ASSAULT CHARGE Harry Crothers, 45, of 705 Pearl street, told Police Judge Lewis Liberman he was sitting peacefully in a taproom at Seventh and Birch streets when John Albert Waite, of 318 Point Street, walked in. "The next thing I knew he hit me on the nose," Crothers testified. "I attempted to find out the reason for the unexpected attack and he hit me in the mouth. "Then I got angry and socked him four times." Waite appeared in court with a fractured nose, two discolored eyes and puffed lips. Motorcycle Patrolman James Wilson, who was called to quell the disturbance, said Crothers was charged with assault and battery and Waite was a material witness. "I was drunk- I don't remember what happened," Waite mumbled. "I want to withdraw the charge." The court complied and they walked out arm-in-arm.	705 Pearl Street 1923 1936 Harry Crothers Camden Courier-Post February 29, 1936

2 MEN SENT TO JAIL ON DISORDERLY CHARGES Two men arrested on charges of being drunk and disorderly were sent to jail yesterday by Police Judge Garfield Pancoast. Frank Waite, 35, of 916 Pearl Street, was arrested at Eighth and Pearl Streets Tuesday night by Patrolman George Nicktern, after Nicktern said he asked Waite to leave the neighborhood because of a woman living in the vicinity being critically ill. Waite was given a 30-day sentence. Ralph Foller, 33, of Oakland, California, was arrested at Fifth and Arch streets last night by Patrolman Joseph Dennett, and was given 10 days in jail.	916 Pearl Street 1923 1935 Frank Waite Camden Courier-Post June 8, 1933
Fine or Jail Term Ordered To Make Bootleg Buyer Talk Reveal Rum Source or Else, is New Rule of Police Court 2 Wilkie Nabbed Are Among First 'Victims' Unless they tell where they bought it, drinkers of bootleg liquor arrested by Camden police henceforth will receive the full penalty of $200 fine or 90 days in jail, Police Judge Lewis Liberman decided yesterday. The new policy of getting to the bootleg seller through the bootleg drinker was announced by Judge Liberman when he imposed maximum sentences on two men arrested by Acting Detective John V. Wilkie at Eighth and Cooper streets last night. The men were Albert Waite, 29, of 916 Pearl street, and John Barrett, 34, of 237 North Eighth street. In the latter's pocket, Wilkie said he found a half pint of "white mule." Barrett refused to tell Wilkie where he brought it, so in a pre-hearing conference with Judge Liberman and Court Clerk Edward Smith, it was decided to give Waite and Barrett, originally arrested as just drunk and disorderly, a trial on the more serious charge of possessing illicit liquor. If Barrett gets a change of heart and names the seller, his sentence later will be suspended, said the judge. "This is a fine idea to make the purchasers of illegal whiskey tell where they got the stuff," said the judge. "There will be mighty few willing to pay $200 or spend three months in jail rather than tell on a speakeasy.	916 Pearl Street 1935 Albert Waite Camden Courier-Post October 29, 1935
OFFER TO EXILE SELF REJECTED BY JUDGE Although he offered to exile himself forever from Camden, Francis White, 36, of 916 Pearl street, must spend the next 30 days here in jail for repeating an old offense. White. termed a "habitual drunk" by City Prosecutor John H. Rieners, Jr., because of his frequent appearances in police court, was arrested near the Haddon Avenue armory on Saturday. He had been released from jail on January 26. "I'm willing to leave Camden for good and to go to Philadelphia," White pleaded, but Police Judge Lewis Liberman rejected his offer and sentenced him to jail.	916 Pearl Street 1936 Albert Waite Camden Courier-Post February 4, 1936

Pancoast Frees Nude Bathers, Scores Those Causing Arrest
Boys and Young Men, However, Are Asked to Carry Bathing Suits on Next Visit To Cooper River

Fourteen boys and young men arrested as nude bathers Thursday as the sequel to a city commission meeting, were freed yesterday by Judge Garfield Pancoast with the advice that they wear bathing suits when swimming.

The nude bathers were apprehended in Cooper river in the vicinity of Tenth and Pearl streets after Frank J. Hartmann, Jr., secretary of, the New Jersey Congress of Civic Associations and of the North Camden Civic Association, complained at the commission meeting Thursday that shocking conditions exist among the male bathers' in the river, causing women in the neighborhood to protest.

With two of the youthful bathers excused because they had to attend the final classes of the term in school, Police Judge Garfield Pancoast suspended sentence on the others at a hearing yesterday after advising them to wear bathing suits when swimming again. The boys had been released in their own recognizance after their arrest late Thursday by John Taylor, a policeman, who was sent to the bathing spot by Acting Chief Golden.

Pancoast Sarcastic

Taylor, under questioning of the court, testified that the nearest house to where the youths swam was a block away, and that while there were boathouses across the creek, he did not know whether they are occupied. The boys themselves testified that no women pass the "swimming hole," which, they said, is three blocks from State Street and almost two squares from Tenth street .

After Taylor informed the court he did not know who made the complaint to Mayor Stewart, Pancoast said the complainant "is probably the same man who, at the age of these boys, did nothing in the Summer but read the New Testament."

"He probably is the same man who never went swimming when the temperature went up to 92 degrees," the court commented, "and is probably the same man who does not know that the cost to the taxpayers for every arrest in the city averages $3.87."

Appeals to Boys

"I have nothing to say to you boys, but appeal to you to take a bathing suit with you the next time you go swimming, because someone might be passing who does not like to see your nude figure."

The bathers: Leslie Bayne, 26, of 503 Royden Street; Harvey Howell, 16, of 429 Washington Street; John Grady, 19, of 578 Benson Street; Roscoe Davis, 15, of 253 North Eleventh street; James Evans, 15, of 601 North Second Street; William Dempsey, 12, of 1030 Lawrence Street; Albert MacFarland, 13, of 1112 Federal Street; Roland Garber, 15, of 537 Birch Street; Edgar Grundlock, 14, of 318 North Tenth Street; Frank Garwood, 13, of 717 Bailey Street; Eugene Dodelin, 13, of 309 Cole Street; Ralph Skill, 13, of 512 North Seventh street; Robert Rudd, 15, of 642 Linwood Street, and Richard Evans, 14, of 601 North Second Street.

Rudd and Garwood were the boys excused by Judge Pancoast from appearing in court so they would not lose credit for being absent from school.
