Lewis Liberman |
|
LEWIS LIBERMAN was born around 1895 to Jewish parents who had emigrated from Russia. His parents moved to New Jersey by the following year, when sister Lillian was born. Brothers Harry, Jacob, and David were born in New Jersey between 1900 and 1910. By January of 1920 the father of Lewis Liberman had passed away, leaving his mother, Ida Liberman to raise her five children. The 1920 Census reports that Ida Liberman was then the proprietor of a show store, and that the family lived above the store, at 2417 Federal Street. This building was sold to Aaron Fliegelman by the 1930s, who operated a store there into the 1950s. The Fliegelman's son, Sidney, later went on to a long and succesful career in radio under the name Sid Mark. Trained as an attorney, Lewis Liberman had served in the military during World War I and was practicing law by 1920. He prospered in the 1920s. He married his wife Augusta, and a son, Stephen was born to them late in 1920. When the 1924 City Directory was compiled, the family lived at 2508 Federal Street. By the time of the April 1930 Census the Liberman family owned a home at 2603 Baird Boulevard in East Camden. His first law offices were at 307 Market Street, but by 1930 he had relocated to 300 Broadway, a building owned by real estate and insurance entepreneur Carl R. Evered. In general practice at the time of the Census, Lewis Liberman is recorded in the Camden Courier-Post in January of 1931 as holding the post of Assistant City Counsel for the City of Camden, serving under City Counsel Harold W. Bennett, in the administration of Mayor Winfield S. Price. He later was appointed to the bench, and served as the Judge in Camden's Police Court in 1934 and 1935. Many cases were brought to Judge Liberman by John Reiners and Samuel P. Orlando, who serving as City Prosecutors, Assistant Prosecutor Isaac W. Eason Jr. The Police Court of Camden was a very busy place in these years, and Judge Liberman's name was in Camden's Morning Post or Evening Courier newspapers almost every day during this period. Interestingly enough, both Samuel P. Orlando and Harold W. Bennett lived near the Liberman home at 2603 Baird Boulevard, at 2613 and 2625, respectively, during the early 1930s. Lewis Liberman was aligned with the Republican Party in local politics. When control over hiring of city employees passed from the Republican Party to the Democrats late in October 1936, the result of a New Jersey State Supreme Court decision which finally settled the disputed May 1935 election for Camden's City Commission, Judge Liberman was replaced on the City bench. Lewis Liberman was active in the affairs of the Jewish community in Camden. A member of Congregation Ahav Zedak on Broadway, he was a member of Camden Lodge No. 915, Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, and served as president of the Lodge at some point prior to 1928. Something went horribly wrong for Lewis Liberman in the spring of 1941. On Saturday, March 29th, he committed suicide by jumping out of a bathroom window on the ninth floor of the Broadway-Stevens Building. He was buried with full military honors on March 31st. The 1947 Camden City Directory record his wife Augusta at that time still living at 2603 Baird Boulevard, and working as office secretary at the nearby Alfred Cramer Elementary School at 29th and Benson Street. |

PAIR HELD FOR JURY IN THEFT OF LIQUOR Charged with possession of stolen goods, Leon Grenkwicz, 21, of 1213 Louis street, and George Sanders, 22, of 307 Walnut street, Haddonfield, yesterday were held without bail for the grand Jury by Police Judge Lewis Liberman. Charges were placed against them by Detective Benjamin Simon after they had been arrested in Audubon for being drunk and disorderly. Simon said his investigation indicated they were the men who, on September 25, stole a liquor truck belonging to James Thompson, wholesale beverage dealer, from Fourth and Arch streets, where it was parked. Simon said that he has the sworn statement of Hugh Gaffney, of 3 Albertson avenue, Westmont, and John Whelan, of 831 Linden street, that Grenkwicz tried to sell him some of the stolen liquor, for which Thompson is the sole agent in Camden. Furthermore, said Simon, he has the evidence of a Merchantville man and his sister, whose names he did not reveal, that Sanders sold them a case of the same brand. |

WOMAN CLEARS MAN OF PATERNITY CHARGE Leon Lokaj, 21, of 1040 Everett street, was held in $500 bail for a further hearing November 19 when a woman who previously accused another man, charged in police court yesterday that Lokaj was the real father of her baby. The
woman, Sue Carroda, 22, of 2040 Arlington
street, also told Police Judge Lewis Liberman
that On October 17 the Carroda woman finally cleared the name of Stanley Wrotney, 22, of 1070 Everett street, who had been paying her $3 aweek because she testified on February 19 that he was the father of her firstborn. She retracted to Mrs. Etta C. Pfrommer, of the bureau of charities, because her conscience troubled her, she said. The woman testified she lied about Wrotney because she was threatened by Lokaj, who also pleaded not guilty yesterday. |

Fine or Jail Term Ordered To Make
Bootleg Buyer Talk Unless they tell where they bought it, drinkers of bootleg liquor arrested by Camden police 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. 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 |

MEAL CAUSES ARREST OF 'TOMMY' MORELAND Arrested early yesterday when he refused to pay a 50-cent check in a restaurant on Kaighn Avenue near Broadway, "Tommy" Moreland, of 1616 Broadway, was arraigned in police court and released with a suspended sentence. Moreland, a well-known South Camden figure whose name has been connected with numbers activities in Philadelphia's Sixty-ninth street section, pleaded guilty to trying to dodge the meal charge. Although he urged Police Judge Lewis Liberman to dispose of his case quickly in order that he might proceed to his employment as a stevedore in Philadelphia, Moreland was held here until both Camden and Philadelphia police notified the court he was not wanted on other charges. Moreland has previously been convicted for receiving stolen goods and for voting illegally in the Eighth Ward. |

VET
SOUGHT BY COPS; FOUND BY WILKIE A
former U. S. marine who spent a week
in the basement of city hall helping veterans make out their bonus
applications while police searched throughout the city for him, was
arrested by Acting Detective John V. Wilkie Saturday night. Edwin
W. Eddington, 26, who said he has no home, was held without bail for the
grand jury by Police Judge Lewis Liberman on two charges of larceny. A
warrant for his arrest was issued on complaint of Joseph Cohen, of 1406 Broadway, three weeks ago, after Cohen told police he stole electric wire
and tools valued at $54.75. The warrant was given to Wilkie and he immediately began a search for Eddington. He visited several former homes and a number of tap-rooms where Eddington was known to spend some of his time, but he evaded arrest each time. On
Saturday night Wilkie was approached by Harry Taylor, of 567 Mickle
Street, a retired U. S. Navy machinist, who told the officer that a
man named Eddington had stolen a suit of clothes and some other wearing
apparel from his room. He said Eddington occupied an adjoining room. "Why,
I've been looking for that fellow for nearly two weeks," Wilkie said.
"Where is he now?" "I
don't know where he is now, but all last week he was in the basement of
city hall from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. helping veterans make out their bonus
applications," Taylor
said. "You might try the Naval Veterans' clubrooms at 304 State
Street." Wilkie explained he works from 7 p. m. to 3 a. m. Wilkie
immediately went to the State Street address, and while he stayed in the
car, Taylor went inside. While
he was in the place, Eddington came along accompanied by a woman and went
in. Taylor brought him out under the pretext of taking him to a tap-room.
When he reached the pavement he shouted to Wilkie, "Here's your
man." Wilkie then took Eddington to city hall and in the basement where the applications were made out he found Eddington's personal belongings. Several of the articles of clothing were identified by Taylor. In court he pleaded guilty to both charges and said he sold the suit in Philadelphia. |

TWO WOMEN EXILED BY LIBERMAN ORDER Two young women were ordered to leave Camden by Police Judge Lewis Liberman yesterday when they were charged with disorderly conduct on a complaint made by Acting Detective John V. Wilkie. Miss
Dorothy Mendenhall, 24, and Miss Peggy Schultz, 24, both of whom gave
addresses of 523 Penn
Street, were arrested by Wilkie
Saturday night after
he received a complaint from a boarding house proprietor at the Penn
street address. Three
men also were arrested as a result of the investigation made by Wilkie.
Two
were released with a warning while the third was fined $10. Wilkie
testified he went to the address in response to a radio call and was told
by Mrs. Harry Barton, the proprietor, that Miss Mendenhall and Leonard
Angelastro, 28, of 258 Pine
Street, created a disturbance when she ordered
them to move. The Schultz woman went to live in the room with Miss
Mendenhall Wednesday, Wilkie said. Wilkie testified both girls had been arrested before. Judge Liberman said if they were found in Camden again they would be given six months. Both girls denied that Angelastro lived at the room they occupied. Angelastro was fined $10. |

Wilkie
Embraced and Bitten
By
Woman 'Cutting Up Capers'
Kindness
to women should be a part of the code of ethics of every police officer,
with certain limitations according to Acting Detective John V. Wilkie,
Camden's note-book sleuth. Sometimes
they get unruly, and allowances
can be made for their conduct, Wilkie
believes, but when they start biting the hand that tries to guide them
out of trouble then it's time to take action. And
action it was when
the detective
encountered Johanna Hyde, 40, of 1607 Diamond street, Philadelphia, last
night. Wilkie
and Patrolman Henry Leutz answered
a police radio summons to
go to Fifth and Cooper
Streets,
where a
woman was reported "cutting
up capers." Arriving
at the spot, Wilkie
observed the woman clinging to a porch rail in front of a Cooper
Street
home. When he questioned the woman, the detective said, she embraced him
and imbedded her teeth in one of his fingers. At police headquarters she
was charged as drunk and disorderly. A charge of mayhem also was entered on the docket. She will be arraigned before Police Judge Lewis Liberman today. |

JAILED HERE; NUMBERS WRITER FINED Police
Judge Lewis Liberman yesterday sent one man to jail for violating the
city criminal registration ordinance and fined another for being a
numbers writer. Arrested
in a raid on a South Camden house Saturday, Willy Smith, 25, colored, of

Judge Lewis Liberman
said he suspended sentence on George Gordon, 40, of 1018 Segal

SALOON
PROPRIETOR HELD IN $1,000 BAIL Waiving
a police court hearing, Edward Markowitz, 38, proprietor of the Wall
Street Club, 340 Federal
Street,
was held in $1000 bail for the Grand Jury yesterday by Police Judge
Lewis Liberman. Markowitz
was charged with assault and battery on an officer, resisting arrest and
disorderly conduct. His arrest followed a police call early Sunday when a
fight allegedly took place in his cafe. Three
other men, arrested in the case, received suspended sentences. Ambrose
Brown, 31, and his brother, Asher, 27, both of 2104 Spring Garden street,
Philadelphia, were accused by George Brown, 29, of 1214
Mt. Ephraim
avenue. The latter, who is not related to the Philadelphians, charged the
brothers struck him. Ambrose countered with an assault charge against
George Brown. Ambrose
testified that he was standing at the bar in Markowitz' place when George
Brown insulted his wife. He admitted he struck Brown after an argument
over the alleged insult. Asher said he tried to separate his brother and
George Brown. Judge
Liberman
said he believed the trouble was caused by George Brown. He found
all the Browns guilty and suspended sentence. No
testimony was offered in the charges against Markowitz. He was held for
the Grand Jury at the request of Firmin
Michel, his attorney. At the time of his arrest, Policeman Earl Wright said that Markowitz tried to eject the police. When they refused to go he is alleged to have struck Wright. After his arrest Markowitz said the fight was not in his place. He charged that Wright knocked him unconscious at police headquarters. |

DRIVERS
CLEARED DUE TO ICY STREETS Eighteen
motorists arrested for Walter
E. Phillips, 24, Palmyra, was
summoned because his car was parked
on a sidewalk near Broadway and
Kaighn
Avenue. He said the ice was so
thick he could not tell which was the sidewalk. The charge was dismissed. John
Brodgen, 23, of 336 Horton street, Philadelphia, failed to appear in court
and forfeited $3 security for passing a traffic light at Admiral
Wilson and Baird boulevards. Sakaris
Vatne, 45, of 70 Franklin avenue, Laurel Springs, and Leroy Kester, 33, of
53 Park avenue, Oaklyn, who were driving in the rear of Brodgen and
followed him past the light, were dismissed. Vatne testified he is on
relief and Judge Liberman asked him where he was getting his gasoline. He
said on credit. "I
guess your credit is good here," Liberman remarked. Ferdinand
Gordon, 26, of 23 Miles avenue, Bordentown, posted $2 security also for
passing the light at "Fort Laib" at Admiral
Wilson and Baird boulevards and appeared in court to answer the
charge. "How
much did it cost you to come to this hearing?" Judge Liberman asked. "One
dollar and 75 cents," Gordon "Well I'll return your $2," Liberman said. "You won't make much profit at that." Fourteen other cases were dismissed and five were postponed. |

EARLY MORNING 'COOK' GETS SUSPENDED TERM George Eggleston wanted a steak - at 4:45 a. m. yesterday, but he didn't get one- he got arrested instead. Eggleston, 44, lives at 217 Linden Street. He came home at an ear hour, two steaks under his arm. But when he attempted to cook them all he did was to "burn 'em up," to use his own words. Angered,
Eggleston tossed the steaks to the floor. Then he began to toss dishes
around- the clatter arousing the neighbors. Police were summoned. Judge Lewis Liberman gave Eggleston a 90-day suspended sentence in police court and ordered him to turn his pay check over to his wife, Anna, before it was cashed. "That last is to keep you sober," the Judge admonished. |

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

WOMAN,
STUDENTS TAKEN IN HOUSE RAID Three Camden women and two Temple University students were arrested in a raid on an al1eged disorderly house at 1450 Kenwood Avenue last night. Charged with being proprietress of the place is Mrs. Charlotte Grimes, 48. She is the wife of Elmer Grimes, employed by the city as a custodian at Convention Hall and formerly custodian of the Camden High School athletic field, according to City Prosecutor John H. Reiners, Jr. The students under arrest gave their names as Sidney
Goldberg, 19,
of 1400 Mt. Ephraim Avenue, and Herman
Katz, 19, of
2601 Wilder Street, Philadelphia. Welch Leads Raiders The arrests were made by Police Lieutenant Walter
Welch and Detectives Benjamin
Simon and Joseph Mardino. According to Welch, Mrs. Grimes
signed a statement in
which
she said she had resided at 1450 Kenwood Avenue for 27 years, and
maintained a disorderly house there for the last seven years. He has had
men watching the place for a year, to get evidence on which to base a raid, he said. He
declared that only persons recommended by patrons were admitted, and then
only after making telephone calls. Simon, who lives three blocks from the
house, and Mardino saw a car with Pennsylvania license
plates parked near the place last night,
Welch said. They waited until they saw
Goldberg and Katz leaving the house, and questioned them. It was on the
strength of statements by the two youths that the raid was made,
Welch added. Cases Continued The five prisoners were taken to
police
court today. After waiting until 10.05 for Simon
and Mardino
to appear,
Welch
asked that the case be continued until tomorrow. Judge Lewis
Liberman set bail for $1000
for Mrs. Grimes; $500 each for the other two women,
$200 for Katz and released Goldberg in the custody of his brother, an
attorney. The latter said the two youths were willing to plead guilty
to disorderly conduct charges, admitting they had been in the place, but
Judge Liberman said he preferred to wait and hear the entire case tomorrow.
In answer to the query by the
court as to how the two knew about the existence of the disorderly
house" Katz said: "Oh, things like that get broadcast around the university." |

'JOEY'
POWELL REARRESTED AS COUNTY
OPENS
HOLDUP
PROBE Joseph
"Joey" Powell, former boxer who was arrested by city police in
connection with a South Camden holdup and subsequently released, was
rearrested by county detectives last night. Powell
was taken into custody on orders of Prosecutor
Samuel
P. Orlando,
who also ordered the arrest of a second suspect. Camden police turned the case over to the prosecutor's
office after the arraignment of Walter Lewandowski, who was caught in
a police trap Friday night as he allegedly attempted to steal a $800
payroll
at the Eavenson
& Levering Company's
plant at Fourth Street and Ferry
Avenue.
He formerly was
employed
there. Two Others Implicated Lewandowski implicated Powell, 25,
of
46 Woodland Avenue, and Leonard Rogalski, 20, of 1219 South Tenth
Street, in a plot to steal the payroll, according to Police Chief Arthur
Colsey.
Powell
thereupon was taken into custody and questioned,
then, according to Colsey, he was released temporarily, in his own recognizance,
pending further investigation. Rogalski was not arrested until County
Detectives James Wren and Casimir
Wojtkowiak took him in last night. The same detectives arrested
Powell. Both suspects were charged with attempted holdup and robbery
and committed to the county jail.
Lewandoski, 24, of 924 Atlantic
Avenue, also in county jail, committed without bail by Police Judge Lewis
Liberman Saturday. According to Chief Colsey, Lewandowski made a statement in
which he accused Powell
of plotting the holdup and making him the “goat”. "The holdup was Powell's idea” Colsey quoted Lewandowski as saying. "He got me in on
it, and Rogalski was supposed to take part, too. Rogalski got “cold
feet” though, and Powell
sent me in while he was supposed to watch
outside.” "Instead he beat it because he
had tipped off the police that the place was going to be held
up." Released After Quiz On the strength of Lewandowski's statement, patrolman Edward Suski was sent to arrest Powell. After questioning, however, the former pugilist was released. "We found no evidence against Powell," Colsey explained. "Lewandowski's story
looked like an attempt to get himself off easier. "We turned the case over to the
prosecutor's office, as we always do after making an arrest that seems
to clear up the case." Lewandowski was captured by Sergeant Gus
Koerner and City Detective Clifford
Carr. The detectives were tipped off that the factory office
was to be held up and laid in wait
for the man. When Lewandowski showed up, Carr and Koerner pointed revolvers at him. He fled down a stairway and Carr fell on him. The two grappled and the detective says the man pointed a .32 caliber pistol at him. Carr overpowered him with blow on the head with the butt of his revolver. |

WIRTZ
ORDERED TO FACE INQUIRY BY MRS. KOBUS Detective Stanley Wirtz, suspended by Police Chief Arthur Colsey yesterday pending investigation into charges that he supplied the guns and an automobile for a holdup, has been ordered to appear today before Commissioner Mary W. Kobus, director of public safety. Wirtz, who has been in charge of the city accident bureau, will be asked to "give his side of the story," Commissioner Kobus said. Doran
Accuses Wirtz County
Detective Chief Lawrence
T. Doran
yesterday charged that
Wirtz
had supplied the guns and automobile to be used in the holdup and then
posted Carr
and Koerner
inside the plant to capture the bandits. Wirtz, Doran said, admitted the charges in a statement given in the office of Prosecutor Samuel P. Orlando. No motive for the detective's action were revealed by Doran. Justice
Lloyd
said later he had conferred with Commissioner Kobus
in regard to the case. "I advised the commissioner," Justice Lloyd said, "to go cautiously with the investigation and gather the facts before taking any action. It is a common thing for officers to lay traps for men who are prone to commit crime, although they have no business to encourage crime. I think it is bad policy to suspend any policeman before the facts of the case have been heard." The
charges against
Wirtz came after an
investigation was ordered into a statement made by Walter Lewandowski, 24 of
924 Atlantic
Avenue, who was
captured when he attempted to hold up a clerk at the wool scouring
company, Ferry Avenue and
Jackson Street. Lewandoski claimed he had “been framed" and named
Joseph Powell, a police stoo1 pigeon, as the one who planned the holdup
and then informed
Wirtz of
the plans. Powell
has been a police informer for
some time, according to Chief Colsey.
The latter said he had taken Powell
into custody for questioning and had released
him in his own recognizance. Chief Colsey
admitted Powell
had given police the tip resulting in Lewandowski’s
arrest. When
Lewandowski was nabbed, his gun was loaded with blank cartridges. This
gun, according to Chief Doran,
was given
by
Wirtz to Powell, who in
turn gave it to Lewandowski. Another youth, Leonard Rogalski, 20, of
1219 South Tenth Street, was
supposed to take part in the ho1dup, but "got cold feet and ran
away” police were told by Lewandoski. Doran’s
statement follows: "Stanley Wirtz, Camden city detective, supplied the gun and the automobile used in the attempted holdup of the Eavenson & Levering Company payroll office Friday night. Statements were given us by three suspects all tally. “Walter
Lewandoski worked at the Eavenson
& Levering
plant, but was laid off there February 28. On March 3 he had money
coming to him and he returned to the plant. Joseph Powell
accompanied him. Powell
talked to Lewandoski then of the payroll, and
suggested the holdup. Powell
then got in touch with Stanley
Wirtz, and told him that Lewandoski was going to stick up the
payroll March 4. "Wirtz
on that night loaned Powell
a car but someone got cold feet, and the
holdup was not attempted. The following week, on March 13, last Friday, Wirtz
took a car to Powell’s home and there turned over to him two guns and
the automobile. Wirtz
then had detectives posted at the scene to arrest the
bandits when they made the holdup attempt. "Powell
met Lewandowski and Rogalski and drove them to the plant. There Powell
turned over to his two companions the two guns that had been given him
by, Wirtz.
Rogalski got cold feet and refused to go through with the holdup. Powell
then went into the plant with Lewandowski. After Lewandowski went in the
door, Powell
ran from the building. “Sergeant
Gus
Koerner
and Detective Clifford
Carr,
hiding in the office arrested Lewandowski. Powell
knew where these
officers were hiding. "Wirtz
was outside the building. He did not catch
Powell." Chief
Doran
said that no one implicates Koerner
or
Carr
in any way in the statements received. Koerner
said: "I
was doing police work. I was brought into this case on a tip that a
holdup was going to be staged and I had no knowledge of the guns or the car. I didn't know what it was all about
but merely was there to perform my duties as a policeman. Wirtz
is 37 and lives at 1197 Thurman Street. He was one of the first of the
new policemen to be appointed to the department in 1924 after Civil
Service was put into effect following the adoption of Commission
government in 1924. He is a veteran of the World War and got a special rating
for that reason when he took the Civil Service examination. In 1931 Wirtz was appointed as an accident investigator in the detective bureau and has served in that capacity ever
since. He has a good reputation as a policeman and has never been in
trouble before. About
four years ago
Wirtz
figured in an automobile accident that caused serious injury to one of
his legs. Rogalski
was not arrested until County Detectives James Wren and Casimir
Wojtkowiak took him in Monday night. The same detectives arrested
Powell. Both suspects were charged with attempted holdup and robbery and
committed to the county jail. Lewandowski also is in county jail, committed without bail by police Judge Lewis Liberman Saturday. |

POLICE
OPEN DRIVE ON SPEED, PARKING Camden Police yesterday began another drive against motorists who violate city traffic regulations. The campaign is an effort to reduce accidents. Lieutenant George Frost, in charge of the traffic bureau, announced the drive would continue for several weeks. On man was arrested today and fined $10 in police court by Judge Lewis Liberman. “I have instructed all motorcycle and traffic police to make a thorough check on double-parking, all day parkers, violators of one-way street signs and speeders,” Lieutenant Frost said today. “accidents have been occurring with increasing rapidity and we are going to do what we can to stop them.” The police official said many office workers in the central section of the city drive their cars to work and park them on busy streets for an entire day. He also pointed out this was the practice on streets adjoining the factory districts and said the two-hour parking law would be strictly enforced hereafter. John Ascola, 41, of 71 Market Street, Salem, was arrested by Patrolman Harry Kreher. Kreher said he chased the car driven by Ascola for more than a mile on Broadway. Asked by Prosecutor John H. Reiners if he knew the speed limit in Camden, Ascola replied: “Yes, 10 miles an hour.” He admitted to “doing 15”. Kreher said it was nearer 50. Ascola paid the fine. |

RCA
STRIKERS LOSE APPEAL ON TERMS Trenton, Oct. 27.-The New Jersey State Supreme Court today dismissed the appeal of three defendants convicted in Camden Police Court as disorderly persons in activities growing out of the recent RCA strike in that city. Appellants are Fred Barone, Catherine Bretschneider, and Irene Adair, each of whom was given 60 days and fined $100 on conviction of being disorderly persons. Samuel L. Rothbard, their counsel, attacked the validity of the complaints upon which the three were arrested, in his argument before Justices Trenchard, Bodine and Heher. City Solicitor E. G. C. Bleakly opposed the setting aside of the convictions. John R. DiMona, also represented the city at the hearing. Rothbard asked for a writ of certiorari to set aside the action of the Camden Common Pleas Court, which upheld the convictions of the Police Court. He argued that the complaint on which the three were convicted was invalid and ineffective under section three of the Disorderly Persons Act, in that the complaint failed to be specific and accurate in the charges made against them in the police court. Bleakly contended that the defendants' counsel had twice waived his right to get a review of their convictions. He claimed that under the Police Court Act of 1927 the matter could have been brought up to the higher court as soon as the complaint was made, or 30 days after the convictions. Bleakly argued that Camden Common Pleas Court Judge Neutze, after reviewing the whole case could have granted the defendants a new trial, but instead upheld the proceedings in the police court. He also argued that the Common Pleas finding could not be reviewed by a writ of certiorari. Rothbard contended that no other kind of an appeal from the Common Pleas ruling could be taken. |
