Streets of Camden, NJSenate Street |
SENATE STREET originally ran from South 2nd Street eastward to West Street, between Berkley and Clinton Streets. The street first appears in City Directories in 1867, and was not listed in the 1863-1864 edition, more or less fixing the date of Senate Street being laid out to the years in between. The 200 Block of Senate Street was razed along with several other blocks west of South 3rd and south of Mickle Street around 1970 to make room for the Royal Court Townhomes and the Mickle Tower apartment building. A few homes were still occupied in the 400 Block of Senate Street as late as the fall of 1970, but it appears these residents were all gone by 1977. A 1980 Reverse Directory shows no listings in the 300 or 400 blocks of Senate Street. The 300 block of Senate still exists, although there are no addresses on it, only the rears of homes on Berkley and Clinton Streets. |

SHOT MANGLED DOG The report of a shotgun at Fourth and Senate Streets late on Saturday attracted crowds to that corner. A mongrel dog of the neighborhood, which had a hind leg cut off by an automobile, was shot. The automatic of motorcycle patrolman George Frost mercifully put the half-staved canine out of its misery. |

The girl was arrested after she was treated at Cooper Hospital. She told Detective Ben Simon she drank the poison because she was jealous of her sister. William Harrity, 24, of 409 Senate Street, Sarah's sweetheart, was held as a material witness but was released today when he said he knew nothing of the quarrel between the sisters. |
