New Policeman on Job
Camden Daily Courier —
The alertness of Gus Pfleiderer, one of the new policemen recently appointed in the South Camden district, saved the building of the Camden Beef Company at Louis Street and Lansdowne Avenue, from being entered and robbed in the early hours of the morning. About 2:30 a.m., Pfleiderer was vigilantly patrolling his beat, when he observed four boys in the act of prying open the front of the premises of the beef company. He was tiptoeing stealthily towards the juvenile robbers, but the lookout of the gang detected his approach and warned by his soft whistle they fled up an alley, scaled a fence and made good their escape as bullets whistled in the air.
Cops and Firemen in First Practice
Camden Courier —
Bluecoats and Ladder Climbers Get Ready for Field Day
MR. YOUNGER IN CHARGE
Firefighters Have Large Team of Athletes
Charles Younger, physical director of the Camden Y. M. C. A. and in charge of the candidates for the police and firemen teams which will compete in the first annual police and fire field day on September 19 at Forest Hill Park, sent his proteges through their stiffest workout of the season yesterday morning with several of the committee in attendance.
Plans were arranged between Younger and Captain Stehr, of the First district, to build a temporary track around the local high school’s gridiron. Meanwhile both the police and fire candidates will do their stuff under the watchful eye of Professor Younger on the the Forest Hill track, outside of the enclosed athletic field.
In a confab over the arrangement of the cinder track, Stehr suggested that a 100 and 220-yard straightaway be constructed on the west side of the field.
Joe Connell, of the Highway Department, also gave the field a once-over, as did Captains Golden and Humes. After the members of the committee had inspected the grounds, they witnessed the candidates going through the paces.
Archie Riess, who is in full charge of the “cops,” declared that but nineteen men would be candidates for his team, while Walter A. Merts [sic], of Engine Company No. 1, acting as manager of the ladder-climbers, counted up twenty-nine candidates on his list. These men will compete next Tuesday, the first three in each event to qualify for field day. The events will be run off separately, that is, the “cops” in one division and the firemen in the other. The bluecoats who will compete this Tuesday are as follows: Everett Joslin, Joseph McDonald, Vernon Jones, Frank Nelson, Bill Rogers, Harold Dunnit, John Bright, Edyard Callahan, Walter Larson, Gus Pfliderer, Clarence Phifer, Thomas Welch, Stanley Wirts, Charles Naylor, George Rothwell, Richard Donnelly, Lester Gleason and Joe Keefe.
The firemen who will also attempt to qualify on Tuesday include Fred Schucker, Harry Wagner, Chris Moll, Harry Layton, Edgar Ellender, August Havercamp, Frank Huda, Harry Kleinfelder, William Foehle, Tom Shanahan, Harrison Pike, William Rudd, Lester Anderson, William Wood, George Townsend, Allen Palmer, William Swartz, Nelson Fill, William Mourtvey, John Strauss, Frank Oberman, Edward Menzies, John Mulligan, Frank Kates, Clifford Hare, Nelson Andrews and Harry Leigh. From the present outlook the “Cops” seem to be coming out second best. The firemen are confident of finishing once more in front of the bluecoats, they having beaten Stehr’s cohorts at the last Armory meet.
The tug-of- team of eight men will also be selected by the firemens’ leader. Mertz will choose his varsity from Layton, Smith, Lennox, Walker, Pike, Palmer, Moll, Greenan, Laird, Mulligan, Haver, Merigan and Camp.
The Camden Motorcycle Club may stage a free exhibition of a motorcycle polo game during the meet. Stehr favors this performance, as but forty minutes of actual time is taken up. The local club is willing to donate their services free of charge. Nelson Hubbs, local manager, has dates at the Trenton, Egg Harbor, Allentown and Bridgeton fairs, while his teams have already performed in many eastern states. The “Camden Blue Devils,” as they are known, will furnish more thrills in the forty minutes than sport lovers have ever seen in this locality, according to Hubbs. If they are on the bill at the games, they will also give an exhibition of trick and expert riding stunts. Those on his teams, there being four on each, are well known in riding circles, some of the best hill climbers and polo players being included in the personnel of the teams are as follows:
Blue Devils No. 1—Joseph Bernurt, captain; Frank De Vivey, Carl Preisandanz, Edward Paul.
Blue Devils No. 2—Charles Ellis, captain; George Gummel, Bennett Arnold, Clayton Alberson.

Parolee Seized in Stolen Auto by Camden Cop
Camden Courier-Post — 1938
PAROLEE SEIZED IN STOLEN AUTO BY CAMDEN COP
Sadowski Was Freed by Judge in 20-Year Term for Bank Holdup
ARRESTED AT WHEEL OF ELUSIVE MACHINE
Mitchell Sadowski, 21-year-old paroled convict, who was given a “break” five months ago in Federal Court by Judge Philip Forman, was under arrest again last night after being found at the wheel of a stolen Pennsylvania automobile.
Sadowski was arrested yesterday by Detective August Pfleiderer after Camden police searched the city for the elusive car since Monday when it was stolen in Philadelphia.
The car was sighted Wednesday by a Parkside resident who called police but the machine disappeared again before detectives arrived. The car, a 1938 Packard coupe, is owned by John Holdstein, of 7614 Brewer avenue, Philadelphia.
Sadowski’s last escapade with the police occurred when he was given a sentence of 20 years in State’s prison which was suspended by Judge Forman on the gunman’s plea he “had a job.”
Judge Forman placed the youth on probation for five years after a jury found him guilty as the getaway driver in the $4119 robbery of the First National Bank of Marlton.
At that time Sadowski had just finished a two-year term in the state prison for holdup near Atlantic City. He was convicted on two indictments in the bank holdup and sentenced to 20 years on each count. Judge Forman ruled the sentences would run concurrently and ordered probation in each instance.
The machine in which Sadowski was arrested was first reported in front of 1310 Park boulevard by Calvin Hunsingur, who called police giving them the license number. Detectives Clifford and William Casler told Hunsingur to watch the car until they could send a tow wagon out for it. A few minutes later Hunsingur saw

a young man get into the machine and drive it away.
Detectives Stand Watch
The next time it was reported seen in Camden was at 4 p. m. yesterday when George Mayo, of 812 Kaighn avenue, called and said the car was in front of 824 Kaighn avenue and had been there since 6 a. m. Pfleiderer with Detectives Carr and Joseph Mardino and Detective Sergeant Thomas Murphy went to the address and tore out a wire from the distributor to prevent the machine from being started. They then took stands to watch for anyone entering the machine. At 5:30 p. m., when no one appeared Sgt. Murphy, Carr and Mardino returned to the Detective Bureau leaving Pfleiderer standing at Ninth street and Kaighn avenue.
At 6:30 p. m., Pfleiderer said, he noticed someone get into the machine and try to start it. The detective with gun drawn approached the driver and told him he was under arrest. Pfleiderer immediately recognized the man as Sadowski.
When the detective accosted Sadowski, the youth is alleged to have pleaded with Pfleiderer to shoot him and kill him instead of returning him to state prison.
“Go ahead and shoot me,” cried Sadowski, according to Pfleiderer. “I would rather be shot than go back to prison.”
Pleads Innocence
Last night while Sadowski was in the detention cell in Detective Bureau he paced the floor constantly, pleading with detectives he was innocent and not to send him back to prison.
The gunman’s criminal career began in January, of 1933, when he was arrested for stealing an automobile in Camden and attempting to rob a Mantua chain store.
In 1934 Sadowski was arrested with five others for the holdup of the Public Service bus garage at Fifteenth and Mickle streets and robbery of the cashier of more than $300. He was found guilty of participation and sentenced from seven to 10 years in prison and released on parole in July, last year after serving less than four years.
On his release Sadowski was arrested again for the Marlton bank robbery in which he and three others escaped with $4000. The others were Stanley Krause, Stanley Geda and John Lenkowsky. The four bandits were the same quartet which robbed the Public Service Garage. Each was arrested as he was released from prison. Krause and Geda both drew suspended sentences on March 21, before Judge Frank A. Hendrickson after entering pleas of non vult on the bank holdup charges.
At the time when the four pleaded guilty to the garage holdup, they also admitted robberies of the Genova Cafe, Third and Arch streets, and of the Mantua chain store.
Detectives last night were attempting to link Sadowski with the holdup last Tuesday afternoon of the Dublin National Bank, at Dublin, Pa. Three bandits, all armed and two of them masked, cowed a woman employe and a customer into a corner and forced the cashier, Henry Schanbacker, to hand over $3500 in cash from the cashier’s cage.
Phila. Bound Passenger Charged With Fraud Here and in 2 Towns
Camden Courier-Post —
Arrested on a Philadelphia-bound bus Saturday night, William Epstein, 35, of 1021 Clinton Street, Philadelphia, is being held by local police for passing worthless checks in Camden, Collingswood and Bridgeton.
Bridgeton police notified City Detective Gus Pfleiderer that Epstein boarded a bus for Philadelphia after giving a worthless check for $25 to Mrs. Martha Bowen, a storekeeper, of 80 Commerce Street, Bridgeton. Pfleiderer met the bus at Broadway and Market Street at 7:30 p.m. and arrested Epstein.
Later Epstein was identified by Miss Eleanor Jaeckel, florist, of 3702 Westfield Avenue, as a man for whom she cashed a worthless check for $16.50 on February 19. Nathan Bushman, 201 Broadway, told police Epstein gave him one for $13.50 last week. Collingswood police notified Pfleiderer that Epstein passed a bad check for $10 last week on Arnold Weiss, merchant, of 700 Haddon Avenue, Collingswood.
City Detective Harry Kyler said Epstein has served three years in the Eastern Penitentiary, Philadelphia, for the same offense.
Pfleiderer said Epstein admitted passing bad checks here.
Police Photo Aids in Holdup Arrest
Camden Courier-Post —
Suspect in $2046 Robbery, Identified by Victim, Will Face Grand Jury
A man identified from a rogues gallery photograph as one of a pair who held up and robbed an East Camden man was held without bail for the grand jury yesterday when arraigned before Police Court Judge Gene R. Mariano.
He is Stanley Geda, 26, of 1273 Whitman avenue. John Miller, of 2827 Clinton street, who was held up and robbed of $2046.49 at the point of revolvers by two men, picked Geda’s photograph from the police gallery. Miller said that he recognized Geda despite the fact that he had a black handkerchief over the lower part of his face. Miller declared that he remembered the voice and also that the man had pimples on his forehead.
Miller told police, prior to the arrest of Geda, that he was standing in the driveway to his garage waiting for a companion to come from the house, when he was held up.
After Geda had been identified, City Detectives Gus Pfleiderer, Joseph Mardino and Frank Crawford learned that he was on parole from State’s prison.
When Geda appeared at the office of Albert Brager, parole officer, who summoned him, he was arrested.
Miller was then called to the detective bureau and positively identified Geda, police said.
Geda pleaded not guilty. Miller charged in court that Geda was making an effort to change his voice, which Geda denied saying that he had a cold.
Camden Man Hooked By Fish-Box Bait
Philadelphia Inquirer —
Tackled Out of $1700
By JAMES R. GEORGE
There is nothing basically wrong with people carrying fishing-tackle boxes. They may be going fishing and it would be intolerant to start shooting at them from windows.
But when they start showing up in teams, as they did at the home of John Prus in Norris st., Camden, one might begin thinking about coincidence. As a matter of fact, Prus did, but he was a little late in starting.
Mr. Prus, a 64-year-old widower, had let it be known that he wanted a couple to keep house for him, and he had hardly uttered these lines when a couple arrived — a rather nice, ingratiating man and his wife, who had a tin fishing-tackle box as their sole piece of baggage.
Shortly afterward — that was last Monday — a friend of theirs arrived and he, too, had a tin fishing-tackle box, just to make things look more fishy.
From there on, the story assumes that weird tone that such things always have.
The three fugitives from a tackle shop began talking about big money in some “sure-fire” real estate and suggested using the boxes as “depositories” for the money to buy it, and one of them produced what Prus described as a “big roll.”
Prus went down to the bank and took out $1500 which he deposited along with theirs and another $200 of his own in one of the boxes.
Prus told City Detective Gus Pfleiderer yesterday that the woman was shaking out a cloth as he put his money in the box and “everything got blurred.”
When he woke up he waited for them to come back and then, becoming worried, opened one of the boxes and found what might have been expected — that the “big roll” was stage money. His own $1700 was gone.
Detective Pfleiderer sighed deeply, having heard things like this before, and started out on the trail.
Father Shot, Son Tries to Shield Mother
Camden Courier-Post —
Ex-Fireman Wounded in Arm; Woman Takes Blame
The son of a former city fireman made a fruitless attempt last night to save his mother from arrest by asserting he fired a shot that hit his estranged father in the arm while the latter was threatening the mother and trying to break into their East Camden home.
While Tennie Hutchinson, Jr., 25, was insisting to city detectives it was he who fired the shot and wounded his father, Tennie Hutchinson, Sr., 47, in the left arm, the mother, Veronica, 48, walked into the detective bureau and admitted her guilt.
Detective Capt. Gus Koerner, with Detectives Pfleiderer, Trout and Ellis, were questioning the son, when Pfleiderer received an anonymous telephone call the mother was enroute to the bureau and she had fired the shot.
Mother Admits Shooting
A few minutes later, the mother entered the room. “Did you shoot your husband?” Pfleiderer asked Mrs. Hutchinson. He received an affirmative reply.
Mrs. Hutchinson, who lives at 49 South Twenty-second street, told the detectives she was home alone about 6 p. m. yesterday when her husband rapped on the front door demanding entrance. She refused to let him in, she said. As he was trying to break in the door, the son approached the house, coming home from bowling with his sister, Mrs. Eleanor Knighton, 22, of the same address. When the father saw the son, Mrs. Hutchinson, the parent ran around to the back door and tried to get into the house, meanwhile threatening to kill her.
While the former fireman was standing on the back step, the wife said, she grabbed a .32 calibre revolver and fired one shot through the window of the door.
Son Takes Blame
A few seconds later the son entered the front door, took the gun from his mother, and told her: “No matter what happens, mother, I fired the shot. Even if dad dies, I did it.”
The shot attracted neighbors, including Rev. Newton C. Conant, of 52 North Twenty-second street, who took the gun away from the son when he emerged from the Hutchinson home. When police arrived, the son said he did the shooting. The father was taken to Cooper hospital for treatment, and the son to the detective bureau for questioning.
The son told Koerner his mother and father had been separated for several months and his father had threatened his mother for the past several weeks.
Hutchinson, Koerner said, tried to end his life Wednesday night by slashing his throat with a razor, when he was unable to gain entrance to the Twenty-second street home. He was taken to Cooper hospital for treatment and later placed in the rest room for observation. When nurses and physicians began tending other patients, Hutchinson fled the hospital, Koerner said.
Driver for Fire Chief
Hutchinson was a driver for former Fire Chief Carter before he left the department in 1938. Police said he has been living in Salem county lately and working for duPont’s at Gibbstown. The couple have two other children, Kenneth, six, and Douglas, 13, who were out playing when the shooting occurred.
After detectives took statements from the mother and son, the former was released in $1000 bail on a charge of atrocious assault and battery to await a hearing in Police Court tomorrow morning. The son was released in his own recognizance as a material witness. The bail bond was offered by the elder Hutchinson’s brother, George H. Hutchinson, of 619 Clinton street.
Youth Robs Suite in Apartment House
Camden Courier-Post —
A youthful thief with a penchant for women’s silk undies is being sought by police for the robbery of a suite in the Helene Apartments, Third and Cooper Streets.
The youth was seen by other occupants of the apartment house going down the Third Street fire escape but they did not realize he was a robber until Mrs. Jesse Farrow arrived home to find the apartment ransacked.
She told City Detective Pfleiderer yesterday that the thief took a light cowhide suitcase in which he packed women’s clothing, six pairs of new nylon stockings, three nightgowns and a pair of pajamas.
Police Seek ‘Break’ in Sadowski Death
Camden Courier-Post —
Vengeance by Quinn and Doublecross Seen as Likely Motives
Police today were hopeful of a “lucky break” which might help them to solve the slaying of Mitchell Sadowski, 27-year-old ex-convict shot to death here Friday midnight.
While they were following up every clue, however meagre, the investigators admitted they were without any definite leads to the identity of the killer.
Local and county detectives were investigating the possibility that Sadowski was killed by or on orders of Mickey Quinn, recently escaped holdup man, or by someone else in reprisal for a recent $1800 holdup allegedly perpetrated by Sadowski.
Sadowski was killed by shotgun blasts through the right eye, head and side as he left the Camden Pottery plant, Mt. Vernon and Orchard streets, where he was employed as a kiln operator.
Doublecross Suspected
City Detective Thomas Murphy said he had been informed Sadowski had held up a Camden sportsman and robbed him of $1800 which the latter won in a dice game. Murphy also said he was investigating the possibility Sadowski was killed in reprisal for that job as well as the alternative that Sadowski may have doublecrossed the Quinn mob in giving information on the Casablanca roadhouse holdup.
Sadowski has a criminal record dating back to 1933, when, at the age of 14, he was arrested for auto theft and attempted robbery of a chain store.
He was out on probation and parole from a sentence for the $4119 holdup of the First National Bank of Marlton when on June 14, 1939, he was picked up by Detective Gus Pfleiderer in a stolen car. Pfleiderer walked up to Sadowski as he was sitting in the parked car on Kaighn avenue near Mt. Ephraim avenue. As Pfleiderer walked up to him, Sadowski attempted to escape. Pfleiderer drew his gun and warned Sadowski he would shoot.
“Go Ahead, Kill Me”
“Go ahead and shoot and kill me,” the parolee answered, according to Pfleiderer. “I’d rather be killed than go back to state prison.” Pfleiderer said Sadowski threw away a pair of dark glasses and tried to hide a flashlight as he was awaiting the patrol car.
Police records show Sadowski has been involved in at least four holdup and robbery arrests and a series of attempted burglaries.
Detectives said they fear other Camden police characters and one from Philadelphia may meet Sadowski’s fate if his killers are not located quickly. One of the men said to be “on the spot” is Leon Grenkwicz, 30, of Bellmawr, who was shot March 22, 1945, when Romeo De Sanctis, star witness in the Casablanca robbery, was slain by gang guns. Grenkwicz recovered from the shooting but police have not been able to locate him since.
Car Bandits Beat, Rob Camden Man on Street
Camden Courier-Post —
A Camden man, returning to his home early today, was beaten and robbed of his overcoat, wrist watch and $4.50 in cash.
Ernest Wolf, 27, of 529 Haddon avenue, told Detectives Pfleiderer and DelRossi he left a bus at Broadway and Federal street and was walking toward home when a Pennsylvania car with three men in it, stopped at the curb beside him. Wolf said two of the men jumped out, punched him and kicked him to the ground and after taking his belongings boarded the car and were driven away. Wolf obtained only part of the car registration.
New Contender Listed For ‘Meanest Thief’
Camden Courier-Post —
Police today were searching for the latest contender for the meanest thief title.
He is the thief who stole a Sister Kenney Polio Fund Box containing $20, from the New Central Restaurant, 406 Federal Street.
Steve Johnson, the proprietor, told Detective August Pfleiderer the box was stolen from the counter Monday.
Burglary Victims Recover $4360 In Stolen Goods
Camden Courier-Post —
Display at City Hall Rivals Oriental Bazaar In Variety Shown
Loot valued at $4360 by detectives was returned to its owners in detective headquarters in city hall Tuesday night.
Headquarters resembled an Oriental bazaar as the stolen articles were spread over seven tables, two large desks, and hung on clothing racks.
Detectives are holding George Wilmer, 30, of 521 Liberty street, a parolee, whom they suspect of being Camden’s daytime “phantom burglar” who has been plaguing the department for the last three months. To date police say they have charged Wilmer with 29 counts of breaking and entering and two counts of attempting to break and enter.
Captain of Detectives Thomas Murphy said that Tuesday night’s display was only a portion of the loot and that police believe Wilmer pawned a quantity of the goods in Philadelphia. They also suspect he sold some to secondhand and antique dealers, Murphy said.
The display that met the claimants when they went to headquarters looked like a mail order catalog come to life. There were women’s dresses, men’s suits and top coats, several types of radios, an oil space heater, binoculars, cameras; costume jewelry, empty wallets and even a clothes chest with the clothing still in it.
Missing from the collection were two parakeets which detectives returned to their owner Thursday because—unlike the other items—the birds had to be fed.
Assisting Capt. Murphy in the identification and return of the stolen items were: Detective Sergeants Earl Quinton, William Neal, William Kelly and Clifford Carr, and Detectives William O’Brien, John Huston, August Pfleiderer, George Ellis and Marshall Thompson.

According to Capt. Murphy the claimants, their addresses, the stolen objects and their estimated value are:
