DANIEL PAULK and his friend Lucius Robinson lived in Camden's Centerville neighborhood in the 1930s. The two seemed to have made a habit of stealing coal and other merchandise from the rail cars that were often sitting on tracks that bordered the neighborhood. The two were arrested while together by railroad police in February of 1933, and again while in each others company by Detective Gus Fortune of the Camden Police in October of 1936. |

COAL-THROWING THIEVES GET 3 MONTHS IN JAIL Accused of throwing coal at a railroad detective who says he caught them taking two bags of coal from a coal car at Tenth and Bulson streets, two youths were sent to jail for three months yesterday by Police Judge Garfield Pancoast. They are Lucius Robinson, 18, of 903 Ferry avenue, and Daniel Paulk, 17, of 1708 South Tenth street. Their accuser was Eugene Pavon, of the Reading Railroad. They said they were merely walking across the tracks. The police said both have been arrested before on coal stealing charges. Samuel Gillard, 18, colored, of 310 Summit street, went to jail for 30 days in default of a $25 fine on a charge of stealing a bag of coal from the American Ice Company, Twelfth and Federal streets. John Rusch, 1319 Princess avenue, manager of the plant, said he captured Gillard. |
