FOUR STOREKEEPERS ARE
FINED FOR BEER Four Camden
storekeepers were fined by Judge Pancoast
in Camden Police Court yesterday charged with violating the city's
temporary beer law by selling the amber fluid without licenses. Those held and
their fines were as follows: Antonio Ardoni, of 656 South
Third Street, grocer, fined $200, the maximum; Abe Barton, of
232 South Eighth
Street, fined $25; Max Marker, of 228 Linden
Street; fined $25, and Barney Masso, of 554 Royden
Street, fined $25. In addition
three women storekeepers were arraigned and warned on informal
complaint, also charged with illegal sale of beer. All the men
were arrested, District Detective Harry Kyler said, by investigators
who went into the shops and made purchases of bottled beer while he
stood on the opposite side of the street. Ardoni denied
selling the beer and said he never had any beer in his shop. Judge
Pancoast said he preferred to believe the police. Barton pleaded
guilty. Marker said he
had purchased the beer for his own use but had been persuaded to sell
some. Masso declared
he would go out of the beer business permanently. "I don't blame
these storekeepers as much as the beer distributors," said Judge
Pancoast. "The distributors are supposed to check up on who has
licenses before they wholesale their product." The names of
the women warned by Judge Pancoast were not revealed. . |

JIMMY
RODGERS IS GIVEN 180 DAYS James
"Jimmy" Rodgers, 28-year-old former boxer who on numerous
occasions has run afoul of the law, was sentenced yesterday to serve 180
days in the county jail for operating a speakeasy at 1000 Segal
Street.
In
addition, he was held without bail by Police
Judge Pancoast on a charge of possession of stolen goods. The goods
were identified by their owner, James Greer, 35, of 332 North
Second Street, who was in the speakeasy when police raided it Monday
night. Greer
turned state's evidence against Rodgers
in police court yesterday, and for a reward, received a suspended
sentence. District
Detective Harry
Kyler, Marshall Thompson
and Walter Smith raided the
speakeasy and confiscated 65 pints of whiskey in bottles and a gallon of
whiskey in a jug. Kyler testified Rodgers
was not there when the raiders entered the place but appeared later and
was arrested. 3
Others Nabbed Three
others were arrested in the place. These were Greer, Thomas Spencer, 33,
who gave the speakeasy as his home address, and John D. Wood, 35, of 928
Kimber
street. Spencer has been arrested approximately 75 times, the police
said. The
detectives, when searching the premises, found a suitcase filled with
shoestrings, collar buttons and other merchandise. Greer identified the
case and its contents as having been stolen from his car when it was
parked on Segal Street near Front some time ago. He lodged the complaint
of possession of stolen goods against Rodgers.
Rodgers
was arraigned on three charges, including the stolen goods count. The
other complaints were that he sold beer without a license and violated
Section 422 of the city ordinances which prohibits disorderly persons to
congregate on the premises. Rodgers
pleaded not guilty on all three charges, and told the court he had
"nothing to say." He was fined $200 on each of the charges of
violating Section 422, and selling without a license, and when he did
not pay, he was sentenced to 90 days on each of the two counts. He was
committed to the county jail without bail on Greer's complaint of
possession of stolen goods. Greer
testified that he had purchased liquor in Rodgers'
place several times, as late as last night. Greer's sentence was
suspended. Spencer Refuses to Talk Spencer
refused to testify against Rodgers.
He said he did not know "what was going on there" and that he
was there painting. "You
won't be painting there for 90 days," retorted the court in
pronouncing sentence. Wood,
the other man arrested in the place, did not appear in court and
forfeited $10 security he had posted after the raid. Rodgers
has been arrested several times for operating speakeasies. He was also
arrested as a material witness two years ago in the murder of William
"Shooey" Bonner." Spencer was arrested so often when he resided in Gloucester that he became known as "Gloucester's Peck's Bad Boy," the police said. Since moving to Camden he has been arrested arrested nearly 50 times, police stated. The majority of his arrests have been on charges of drunkenness and disorderly conduct, but in 1925 and in 1926, he was arrested on a charge of larceny of automobile. Again in 1929 he was charged with non support, when he was ordered to pay his wife $10 weekly. Back In 1916 he was arrested on a charge of stealing a gold watch. |

INQUEST
SET TODAY IN GAMBLING DEATH Jury List Prepared for Coroner's Action in Holdup Fatality The coroner's inquest to decide the cause of death to Angelos Magalas, Greek chef, who was shot during a card game holdup at 725 Penn Street on January 11, will be held today at 10 a. m. Coroner Franklin P. Jackson III, of Collingswood, will conduct the inquest and will select his jury of 12 from a list of 15 persons prepared by the office of County Prosecutor Samuel P. Orlando. Detectives already have subpoenaed 20 witnesses for questioning at the inquest, including players who were the victims in the holdup and three Camden physicians who attended Magalas prior to his death. The witnesses will include Samuel and Mabel Ermilios, tenants of the Penn Street house where the holdup occurred; George and Annette Mastros, who room at the house; Samuel Bosco, Broadway barber; George Summers, Ross Pantel, Michael D' Andrea. and William Caras, who according to police were participants in the card game. All of the men were held as material witnesses in the shooting when arraigned today before Police Judge Gene R. Mariano. Doctors to Testify Other witnesses will include Dr. Paul Mecray, Dr. A. S. Ross and Dr. Edwin R. Ristine and Miss Sophia MacAfee, a Cooper Hospital nurse. Police who will testify in elude Detectives Thomas Murphy, Harry Kyler and William Boettcher and Patrolmen Richard Powers, Frank Clements, George Nicktern and Sergeant Jack Deith. The jury will be selected from Guy Clokey, Collingswood; Lawrence Ball, Haddonfield; Howard Friant, Collingswood; Harry Chew, Collingswood; Sig Schoenagle, Camden merchant; Raymond Hanly, real estate broker; Benjamin Brest, Raymond Worrel, John Eby, all of Camden; William H. Lorigan, Merchantville; David B. Robinson, Collingswood; Rev. James Pemberton and John McGowan, of Camden, Earl Jackson, of Collingswood and Morris B. Clark, of Haddonfield. Coroner Jackson refused to give a certificate of death until the chemical test of Magalas' brain was made by Philadelphia experts. The re suit will not be revealed until the inquest. Assistant Prosecutor Isaac Eason and County Physician David S. Rhone gave it as their opinion that Malagas died of natural causes rather than, the bullet wound. Coroner Jackson then ordered an inquest to be held. Police are searching for Frank Luggi, 21, of 322 Penn Street, who they say was one of the holdup bandits and the one who fired the bullet that struck Magalas. The last coroner's inquest held in Camden county was in 1933, in the death of Thomas Timothy Sullivan, and previous to that none had been held here in 25 years. Sullivan was 57 years old and lived at 401 State Street. He was employed as a detective by the Pennsylvania Railroad. He was found shot to death in a shack in the rail road yards on August 28, 1933. At that time, County Physician Edward B. Rogers issued a certificate of death that Sullivan had committed suicide. The decision of the county physician enraged members of Sullivan's family and they demanded an inquest. The inquest was ordered by then Coroner Arthur H. Holl, who presided. All the evidence in the case was presented to the jury of 12 men, and after deliberating for less than an hour, they returned a verdict that Sullivan had been murdered by persons unknown. Under state law, the county physician may order an inquest; with 12 persons on the jury of the coroner's choosing. The jurymen may be taken from the present panel of the petit jury or be picked at ran dom. The Grand Jury does not have to indict on the basis of the inquest. At the inquest Coroner Jackson will be assisted by attaches of the prosecutor's office. Malagas, the father of three children, lived at 1110 Langham Avenue. He was shot when several armed bandits held up a card game and he died several days later. |
