FALSE PRETENSE CASE DISMISSED BY PANCOAST

Police Judge Pancoast yesterday dismissed charges against Martin Goldberg, 36, of 513 Ferry Avenue, accused by Mary Kelly, same address, of obtaining money under false pretense to open and operate it saloon on the Ferry Avenue premises.

The woman testified she gave Goldberg $50 for a temporary beer license, $35 to install gas and electricity and money for beer, in return for which she was to receive her money back and a 50-50 interest in the business. All she received, she said, was $4.

Judge Pancoast decided the case was a civil matter and had no standing in police court.

FAT WOMAN IN THE WAY

John Kretcher [Isaac Krichev - pmc] , a grocer, of 884 Ferry Avenue, opened his store just in time in the morning to see a colored man swiping his supply of bread and cakes from the front doorstep. He pursued the thief and would have caught him had not a fat little negress he could not recognize gotten in his way and hold him fast until the bread robber made his escape around the corner. Policeman Nate Thornton appeared a few minutes later but by that time the thief and his fat friend were gone.

1940 Gone, became Branch Village

A South Camden merchant was held up and robbed of $25 shortly before, midnight by two bandits.

John Jacobs, who conducts a grocery at 960 Ferry Avenue, told police he was reading a newspaper when the men appeared. They were not masked. The taller man walked quickly to the counter, Jacobs said, while, the other remained near the doorway.

Pointing a revolver across the counter toward Jacobs, the robber ordered him to hand over all his money. Jacobs complied and was told ·to lie on the floor and make no outcry. After the man at the door gave a signal both hastened south on Ferry Avenue toward Jefferson Street and disappeared.

MAN BLAMES ARREST ON WIFE'S' ANIMOSITY

 Despite his plea that he was the victim of his estranged wife's animosity, Charles Yatzus, 45, formerly of 978 Ferry Avenue, but now of Baltimore, was fined $75 in criminal court yesterday by Judge Shay on a charge of carrying a concealed deadly weapon,

M. L. Cobbin, attorney, asked leniency for his client, declaring that Yatzus and his wife had separated, and he took his .32-caliber revolver from the Ferry Avenue home intending to carry it to his rooms in Philadelphia. Cobbin alleged that Mrs. Yatzus telephoned police that her husband was carrying a revolver, resulting in his arrest as he was about to board a ferryboat for Philadelphia.

Judge Shay admitted the story might be true, but imposed the fine because the gun was loaded.

My grandparents, Fabian and Helen Brass, owned the Brass Tavern. My mother Bernice Brass lived there with her sister Emma and brother Charles. When my mother married she moved to Haddonfield, N.J. My Aunt Emma married Frank Percival and moved down the street to 1889 Charles Street. Charles Brass lived in the tavern until his death.

I spent many days visiting them above the bar on Ferry Avenue as a child.

A Mystery: In the 1930 Census a Florence Brass, aged 16, lived at the Brass Tavern along with Bernice, Charles, and Emma. No one in the family has ever heard of Florence Brass, my mother never mentioned her. WHO IS SHE?

If you, the reader, knows anything about this, please e-mail me. I am 72 ad don't know if there is anyone still alive who could solve this mystery.
