NAP IN PARKED AUTO BRINGS 30 DAYS IN JAIL Because Samuel Boykin, 29, of 1022 Penn Street, insisted on sleeping in an automobile parked in a restricted area, he will pass the next 30 nights in jail. Police Judge Pancoast, in sending Boykin to jail on a charge of being drunk and disorderly, also indicated he would spend the same number of days in jail. Motorcycle Policeman Walter Vecander testified he went to Broadway and Market street on complaint of a motorist who said a man was sleeping in his car. Boykin was taken to police headquarters but released when the motorist refused to sign a complaint. Fifteen minutes later Boykin was sound asleep in the same automobile, Vecander said. Boykin admitted he had been drinking but denied he had been driving while intoxicated or that he was disorderly. A charge of illegal parking was dismissed.. |

MAN IS GIVEN LIFT AND ROBBED IN AUTO Accepting a ride which he thought was a friendly "lift," Frank Clayton, 58, of 157 Wyoming avenue, Audubon, was struck over the head, rob bed of $8 and thrown from the machine early yesterday. Motorcycle Policeman Walter Vecander found Clayton, wandering around the streets in a daze more than a mile from where he was put out of the car. He told detectives that he was waiting for a bus to go home at Broadway and Federal street at 2:30 a. m. when two men came along in an automobile and stopped near where he was standing. They asked him where he was going and when he told them they said they were going that way and would take him in their car. They drove out Haddon Avenue, he told the police, and turned off at Euclid Avenue. When he objected and told the men they were going the wrong way, he was struck on the head, he said. The car stopped near the Hatch Junior High School, Park Boulevard and Euclid Avenue, and one of the men went through his pockets. He tried to fight them off, he said, and was again struck.

M.F.
Middleton Felled by Gas In House Here With gas flowing from a pipe detached from a gas range, former City Commissioner Melbourne F. Middleton, Jr., was found unconscious in the kitchen of his former home at 538 Cooper street early Saturday night. Middleton was reported last night to still be in a critical condition at West Jersey Hospital, where he was taken. The Camden Fire Department First Aid Squad worked over him for an hour at the house in a vain effort to revive him. Middleton, a former president of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, and one time city councilman, was found by a son, C. Barry Middleton, and a friend, John Williams Rossell, who lives with the Middletons on Laurel road, Moorestown. Middleton was clad in overalls and two large pipe wrenches were lying on the kitchen floor near him. Young Middleton said his father told his family he intended to take up some linoleum in the kitchen of his former home. Middleton first went to his office Saturday and then to St. Paul's Episcopal Church to a service. From there he was traced to his former home, which is owned by him. When Middleton failed to return home for dinner at the usual time Saturday his son and Rossell decided to search for him. When young Middleton discovered his father's plight he notified police. Patrolmen Frank Cavallo, Henry Lutz, Walter Vecander and George Getley responded in radio cars and gave first aid until the fire department squad arrived. The firemen worked on the former commissioner one hour with an inhalator before ordering his removal to the hospital, where they continued to work on Middleton for another hour but were unable to revive him. Hospital physicians continued working on him without success. They said his condition was critical. Gas Man Called At
4 p. m. Saturday the family living next to Middlemen's home telephoned
Public Service that gas was coming from the house. Public Service sent a
man to investigate but he was unable to get into the house. Young
Middleton and Rossell said they reached the house at 6.17 p. m. While he was a member of the first city commission Middleton was director of finance but never missed responding to all alarms of fire. He was a member of the fire committee while serving in City Council as a member from the Second ward. In that capacity he also answered all alarms. Members of the Firemen's First Aid Squad responding to the call were Deputy Chief William R. Harring, Hosemen Christopher Moll, William Spencer, Harry Haines, Russell Anderson, William Harry Deitz and Nelson Andrews. City
Detectives Benjamin Simon, Joseph
Mardino and William Marter
are investigating the cause. |
