Hubby No. 2 Produces No. 1 In Court Battle on Support
Camden Courier-Post —
Judge Decides That Second Doesn’t Have to Pay; Whereupon Wife Makes Vain Effort to Shift Bill to First
When a man unexpectedly produces his wife’s first husband, undivorced and quite alive and well, it’s bound to be more or less confusing, but it’s one way of avoiding a support order.
To begin at the beginning, it seems that James Moore, 48, of 433 Lansdowne avenue, and Mrs. Ethel Leary, 47, of 558 Auburn street, were married June 20, 1923. Mrs. Leary described herself as a widow.
On Oct. 26, 1935, they separated and she obtained a $3 weekly court order for support. Moore was in arrears on the payments and last week she had him taken into Police Court on a contempt charge.
Moore, in his defence, told Judge Lewis Liberman he owed the money all right, but didn’t think he should pay it because Mrs. Moore has another husband. This Mrs. Moore flatly denied, saying her first husband died 25 years ago. So Judge Liberman continued the case a week to see what was what.
When the case was called again yesterday he asked Moore if he had any evidence. “I have,” replied Moore. “I have the best of evidence—the first husband himself.”
So up stepped Frank Leary, 50, of Spring Lake.
“Is this woman your wife?” asked Liberman.
“Yes, sir; she is,” replied Leary.
“I haven’t seen her since March, 1921, when I left her,” said Mrs. Moore. But she didn’t deny Leary was hubby No. 1.
“That being so,” said Judge Liberman, “I dismiss the charges against Moore.”
“Well,” observed Benjamin J. Dzick, attorney for the woman, “if Moore doesn’t have to support her, Leary does.”
So a formal charge of non-support was drawn up against Leary and he was given ten days to appear.
“I am informed,” said Liberman, “that Moore has instituted annulment proceedings in the Chancery Court. At present, Moore seems to be her legal husband, and until that case is decided, Leary cannot be held. So the charge against him is dismissed also.”

Bosco Denied Bail in Card Game Death
Camden Courier-Post —
Barber Seized as He Waits Outside Room of Grand Jury
Ready to Testify in Case When Indicted for Murder With Luggi
Attorneys Will Seek Habeas Corpus Writ
Samuel Bosco, widely known Camden barber, sat in the anteroom of the Camden County Grand Jury room yesterday, expecting to be called as a witness in the slaying of Angelo Magalas, Camden chef.
Instead he was arrested on the charge of murder.
With Frank Luggi, fugitive police character, he was charged with slaying Magalas, wounded fatally as he sat in a Penn street card game, January 10.
Magalas, who lived at 1119 Langham avenue, died Jan. 23 in Cooper Hospital. A coroner’s jury found death was superinduced by gunshot wounds inflicted during a scuffle between two bandits and players at the scene of the holdup.
Bosco, who also participated in the card game, was one of the principal witnesses at the inquest. And yesterday he readily answered the summons to appear before the jury.
Indicted by Jury
He was in the ante-room—still waiting to testify—shortly after 4 p. m. when Mark Reeve, clerk of the jury, came out and whispered to City Detective Thomas Murphy.
Murphy walked over to Bosco. He placed a hand on his shoulder and said:
“You are under arrest.”
“What for?” Bosco asked.
“The grand jury just indicted you on a charge of murder,” Murphy replied.
Bosco appeared stunned. He started to speak again. His lips moved but no sound came as he arose, put on his overcoat and accompanied Murphy to the city jail across the street from the old courthouse. He was booked at police headquarters on the murder charge, photographed, fingerprinted and held without bail.
John L. Morrissey and Benjamin J. Dzick, counsel for the accused barber, announced last night a rule to show cause for a writ of habeas corpus will be sought this morning from Common Pleas Court Judge Clifford A. Baldwin, in an effort to win Bosco’s release.
Evidence Held Lacking
“There was no evidence to warrant Bosco’s arrest on a charge of murder,” Morrissey said.
“If Judge Baldwin is available I will appear before the court and ask for a writ of habeas corpus. I intend to ask the court to dismiss the charge entirely. There was not sufficient evidence to warrant a charge of murder and certainly no evidence on which the arrest for murder was made.”
Both Morrissey and Dzick visited Bosco in the city jail last night. They held a brief conference after which Morrissey reported the barber still was stunned over the turn of events but otherwise was unworried.
Police said arraignment of Bosco would be delayed due to the Lincoln’s Birthday holiday. He probably will be taken before Judge Gene R. Mariano Monday morning, they said.
Barber Held Door
Bosco was one of the players in the game, but when the bandits entered, he ran into a shed and held the door in back of him. He told police he held the door to prevent the bandits from following him. None of the players could have fled by the door, either, Prosecutor Samuel P. Orlando pointed out.
At the time of the coroner’s inquest, officials of the prosecutor’s office questioned Bosco at great length concerning his act in holding the shed door closed.
“I didn’t want the bandits to follow me. I didn’t want to be robbed,” Bosco answered his questioners.
Luggi has been sought for questioning in connection with the holdup ever since it occurred.
Luggi has been identified by other participants of the card game, which was held at the home of Samuel Ermilios, 725 Penn street, as the gunman with whom Magalas was wrestling when the gun went off, the bullet severing an artery in Magalas’ arm.
Tax Lien Bureau Planned for City

TAX LIEN BUREAU PLANNED FOR CITY
Rulers Approve Resolution Setting Up New Department Under Brunner

Benjamin J. Dzick, city prosecutor since 1942, today was named municipal judge of Camden by Director of Public Safety Aaron, replacing Police Court Judge John R. DiMona.
At the same time, Aaron appointed Anthony M. Lario to the post of city prosecutor, with both appointments to become effective Saturday.

Pretty Policemen Minus Protection
Gettysburg Times —
CAMDEN, N.J. (AP)—It’s not illegal now for lasses at cops who aren’t lasses.
Camden lawmen faced that blackout outlook with chagrin today.
Until last week they were going great guns in a drive to rid the city of mashers and all others given to pestering unescorted women on the streets.
The police department’s campaign, conceived a couple of months ago, was especially effective thanks to a masquerade. Cops dolled up in women’s clothes were accosted, often rudely indeed. Each time the big surprise when the accosted found out his intended prey was no lady.
BYLAW FORBIDS TRICK
The deception was balked by the exhumation of a 54-year-old city law which forbids anyone to dress up and appear on the streets as one of the opposite sex.
Whatever its inspiration, the musty old ordinance was successfully invoked by a defence lawyer. And if the gentleman garbed as a woman is a policeman alluring mashers, that amounts to entrapment. So said the lawyer.
The police were frankly caught with their disguises down. A chagrined lieutenant, Harold McHenry, said in court that he knew of no such law when he had the brain wave of costuming policemen as women to catch mashers.
The 1900 law was dredged up by a lawyer for Angel Rivera, 21, who was arrested as a masher, Feb. 1 by policeman Donald McLendon, posing as a woman.
Rivera had been sent to jail for six months for disorderly conduct. “We are appealing the sentence,” said Judge Benjamin Dzick.
Judge Dzick vacated the sentence, imposed another of 30 days and said the law was enforced.
Swindle Witness Held For Cheating
Lethbridge Herald —
Camden, N. J., Oct. 25 (AP) — A witness against a 74-year-old woman awaiting sentence on a swindling charge was held without bail today on a charge that he had cheated her of $14,900. Walter W. Weel, 54, partner in the Industrial Chemical Co., of Los Angeles, was ordered held by Municipal Judge Benjamin Dzick yesterday.
Mrs. Amelia Mildred Everts testified she gave Weel the money to help him with a scheme to “activate” or “pep up” automobile gasoline. Instead, she said, Weel gave $5,000 of it to Mrs. Bertha Schwartz, of Philadelphia.
Mrs. Everts, also known as Amelia Carr, pleaded guilty in U. S. District court on Monday to charges of obtaining $22,000 from Mrs. Schwartz under false pretenses. She is to be sentenced Friday.
Police records show Mrs. Everts has a record dating back to 1891 and that she has spent much of her adult life in prison on swindling charges.

Proprietor Fined For Short Weight
Phillip Livecchi, proprietor of a store at 423 South Third street, today was fined $25 in municipal court on a shortweight charge brought by a state inspector from the bureau of weights and measures.
Guy Naddeo, the inspector, testified he purchased on Oct. 20 a steak weighing one pound four ounces at $1 a pound and was charged $1.25. Upon reweighing the steak, he said, it was an ounce short and he was overcharged five cents.
"When I told the woman clerk it was an ounce short," Naddeo testified, "she replied that I forgot to include the weight of the wrapping paper. She was apparently under the impression it was permissable to weigh the paper with the meat."
Livecchi, who was not represented by counsel, pleaded not guilty to the charge. He said he was ill that day and that his wife was tending the store. Livecchi said she was not familiar with the management.
Judge Dzick said the proprietor is responsible for the actions of anyone who works in the store.
Merchant Fined After Dice Raid
Camden Courier-Post —
Elmer Parker, proprietor of a luncheonette and cigar store, 18 Market street, today was fined $100 by Municipal Court Judge Dzick on charges involving gambling.
Detectives Edward Shapiro and John Moffa testified they broke up a dice game in the rear of the store Dec. 22 and confiscated several pairs of dice. The three players, they said, escaped through a rear door.
Police said they found a "numbers book" under a table in the rear but Parker denied any knowledge of it. They said Parker was tending the counter at the time of the raid. Dzick then dismissed a charge of possessing number slips.
Parker pleaded not guilty to both charges but did not testify. He was represented by Joseph Tomaselli.

Two South Camden men who refused to "cooperate" in naming their source of supply of narcotics were given jail sentences of one year and $1000 fines today by Municipal Court Judge Dzick.
The pair, Robert Anthony, 23, of Cherry st. near 7th, and Hugh Johnson, 23, of Cherry st. near 8th, pleaded guilty to the charge of using narcotics.
They were arrested in their homes Thursday night by Detective Russell Young and state police narcotics squad members. After pleading guilty, Dzick asked the men where they obtained the narcotics.
Johnson said they got it at 23rd st. and Erie ave., Philadelphia, from a man who he knew only as "Pete."
Dzick said he believed both knew the identity of the supplier and refused to tell the court. He then levied the maximum sentences.

Memory of Cop Traps Suspect In '47 Holdup
The photographic memory of a Camden patrolman resulted in the arrest of a man, sought since 1947 on a robbery indictment, it was disclosed Monday in municipal court.
Credited with the arrest of Robert Bailey, 49, of 236 Kaighn avenue, is Patrolman Joseph Carpenter, who, detectives said, recognized Bailey Thursday night.
Patrolman Carpenter, on duty with Patrolman Charles Richards, saw Bailey at Second and Sycamore streets, and asked him for identification.
When Bailey produced cards bearing the name of Charles Cornish, the two officers took him to city hall. As they entered the police station, Bailey bolted and ran north on Roosevelt plaza. Patrolman Richards brought him down with a flying tackle.
At his arraignment today before Municipal Judge Dzick on charges of assault and battery and resisting arrest, Detective Sgt. William Kelly testified Bailey was indicted by the 1947 May grand jury for robbing Clarence Watson, 69, of 2903 High street.
Watson, who operates an auto repair shop was struck with a pipe and robbed of $400 on Jan. 10 of 1947, Kelly testified.
Dzick held Bailey without bail for the grand jury.

Cop Exonerated In Wounding of Camden Youth
Municipal Court Judge Dzick today exonerated a patrolman of a charge of assault with attempt to kill, brought by the mother of a 17-year-old youth and then denounced her for filing the complaint.
Patrolman Frank Senatore, against whom the complaint was lodged by Mrs. Gladys Brown, of 720 Central avenue, was “altogether justified” in firing several shots at the boy, Harold Jackson, according to Judge Dzick.
Jackson, who was put on probation and given a suspended sentence to Annandale reformatory Nov. 29 as a juvenile delinquent, was shot in the jaw by Senatore on Dec. 11 while fleeing with two companions from a stolen car.
Mrs. Brown told Judge Dzick she filed the complaint against Senatore at the direction of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People and had been promised legal assistance by the NAACP in prosecuting the charge against Senatore. None appeared, however, for the hearing.
“This is the most contemptuous charge I ever heard,” Dzick told Mrs. Brown. “It is a good thing that the NAACP representative who advised you to bring the charge is not in court. I would jail him for contempt if he were here.”
First U. S. Stamp Taken Out Here For Gambling

First U. S. Stamp Taken Out Here For Gambling
First U. S. Stamp Taken Out Here For Gambling
Camden, N. J., Feb. 14 (AP) — A witness against a gambler here has become the first Camden resident to take out a federal gambling stamp since the new law requiring gamblers to register with a federal office, went into effect in November.
Can't Be Prosecuted
A spokesman for the criminal investigation unit of the Internal Revenue department admitted today that the government is powerless to prosecute Lauria for failure to obtain the stamp at the time of his arrest, because he has applied for the stamp within 30 days.
The law in regard to federal stamps for taxes," the spokesman said, "gives a person until the end of the current quarter to start a business, to obtain a tax stamp."
It would be necessary for the criminal investigation division to prove that Lauria had been in business before the day that he was arrested by Camden police. However, if the Camden authorities are of the opinion that Lauria has failed to include the money he may have made from gambling activities on his income tax returns, he will refer the matter to this department for prosecution."
Good Through June
The spokesman said that on the basis on the federal fiscal year, which extends from July 1 to June 30, the gambler would only had to pay about $21 for his federal gambling stamp. "The stamp is good until the end of June," the federal spokesman said.
Lauria is the first Camden suspected gambler to obtain a federal gambling stamp, there are also in the names of nine Atlantic City men and women who obtained federal stamps.
"We can take no action against anyone for failure to take out stamps within the 30 day required period," the federal spokesman said.
Lauria was arrested by Detectives Edward Shapiro and John Moffa when he was seen starting to drive away after paying his toll at the Camden bridge.
Shapiro said that a brief case in the rear of the car, contained slips listing approximately 9800 number combinations and about $50. Municipal Judge Dzick postponed a hearing for Lauria due to be held today, but Dzick has granted a continuance until February 25 at the request of Lauria's attorney, Anthony Marino, is in Florida.

Three Men Held Without Bail in Tavern Holdup
Trio Nabbed at Shore Identified by Victim Of $2000 Theft Here
Three men suspected of the $2000 robbery of a Camden woman tavern owner last Friday were held without bail for further hearing by Judge Dzick today.
Dzick acted in compliance with a request by Detectives Marshall Thompson and George Ellis, who said the investigation was not complete. The three were arrested Sunday in Atlantic City.
Booked on charges of armed robbery were Stanley Slagle, 22, of 1408 Broadway; James J. Lenahan, 24, of 1734 Broadway, and Robert Sharp, 26, of 19 N. Johnson blvd., Gloucester.
Identified as Boxer
Slagle was identified as a middleweight boxer, who started to fight last fall and appeared twice at a Philadelphia club.
Arrested at 2 a. m. Sunday the men were returned to Camden, where they were identified by Miss Mary Lynch, 44, who operates Lynch's Cafe at 3rd and Erie sts. Charles Clark, 33, of 538 N. Front st., a patron who was slugged on the head with a blackjack, was able to identify Lenahan and Sharp as participating in the daylight holdup, according to Detective Capt. Thomas Murphy.
Murphy said the men will be included in a police lineup Tuesday at 8 p. m. so that other victims of holdups in the area during the past year may view the suspects.
Atlantic City police said Patrolmen Adelmo Fidelli and Edward Shaw, acting on information from Camden detectives, nabbed Lenahan in the Nomad Club.
Fifteen minutes later, other officers took Sharp and Slagle into custody in the Jockey Club.
Shore police said they had been notified Camden authorities in a raid on an apartment in Camden had learned from a girl-friend of one of the men that she was to meet them in Atlantic City.
Some Money Recovered
Murphy said $600 of the stolen money was recovered on the men, in addition to $125 discovered in the apartment in the 1700 block on Broadway.
The detective captain said Detectives George Ellis and Marshall Thompson, who along with Detectives Harry Tracey and Sgt. William Kelly returned the suspects from the shore, had spent 43 hours without sleep on the trail of the bandits.
Murphy said the key to the capture was a license number obtained by Patrolman Oliver Morgan from an automobile seen near the scene of the holdup.
Car Was Stolen
The car, Murphy said, had been stolen from John J. Hegar, 640 Federal st., a certified public accountant, who was unaware of the theft until after the car was recovered Saturday on 7th st., between Liberty st. and Kaighn ave.
Later Saturday, Murphy related, Detective Harry Kyler and Detective Sgt. Vincent Conley obtained information linking Lenahan to the job and, still later, the apartment in Camden was raided.
Discovered in the apartment, Murphy said, were a .45-calibre automatic and the cash, found hidden under a chair cushion.
Murphy said Lenahan and Sharp, under questioning Sunday night in Camden, admitted their part in the holdup. Slagle, however, denied knowledge of the crime, Murphy added.
Discarded Weapons
Reconstructing the holdup and the trail of the gunmen, Murphy named Sharp as driver of the getaway car and said the men drove around the city and then later threw a shotgun and blackjack from the car.
The men went to Philadelphia, Murphy continued, where they purchased new clothes and wrist watches and other accessories and agreed to meet in Atlantic City.
Murphy said all have police records, Lenahan having been paroled in July from state prison after serving a term for grand larceny in Atlantic City. Sharp was released from state prison last year after serving a term for larceny of an automobile in Camden County and Slagle was released from the prison where he was sent for robbery, Murphy said.

Party Host Fined $200 for Allowing Guests to Gamble
By James A. Donahue
Viewing with skepticism the defense that he was merely tossing a party for a friend, Judge Dzick today fined Servine Drummond, 40, of 949 Kaighns ave., $200 on charges of permitting gambling in an apartment he rents at 722 Sycamore st.
Drummond and nine others were rounded up by a raiding squad, composed of Capt. Charles Stone, Sgt. Edward Watson and Patrolmen Fred Gee and James Malloy, about 3:30 a. m. Saturday.
To substantiate police charges Drummond only had the apartment for gambling purposes, Watson related the apartment contained no clothing or cooking utensils and stated further that Drummond had change in every pocket when he was seized.
Questioned by Dzick, Davis said he arrived at the apartment at midnight. The eight others said they got there between 1 and 3 a. m.
"Some party," Dzick quipped. "Was there any food served?"
"Oh, no food," answered a witness, "nobody wanted any food."
The police showed Dzick about five half-filled whisky bottles. Dzick fined the inmates $25. He said they should be more careful in the future about the kind of parties they visit.

City Court Scene: Barrington Man Given 30 Days for Bad Check
Camden Courier-Post —
A Barrington man went to county jail for 30 days after Judge Dzick ruled him guilty of passing worthless check for rental of an auto.
The sentence—30 days and $25 fine—was imposed on Ralph Visco, 35, of 338B Barrington Manor Apartments. Visco, police said, operates a filling station at 100 Grove Street, Haddonfield.
He was arrested on complaint of Augustus Gondolf, manager of an auto rental agency, 35 North 5th Street. Gondolf charged Visco tendered him a worthless check for $178 last December 10.
When arraigned today, Visco told Prosecutor Anthony Lario he wanted to make restitution and took a check from his pocket.
Dzick said he thought Visco had “a lot of nerve offering to make good on a bad check with another check” and added:
“I’m getting a little tired of persons passing worthless checks and I don’t care whether the checks are made good later … the crime occurs when the check is first passed.”

A bartender in a South Camden tavern was fined $200 today on lottery charges by Judge Dzick on testimony of two ABC agents.
The defendant was Joseph Disner, 35, of 2921 Clinton st., who tends bar at Shirley's Cafe, 1478 S. 9th st. Disner pleaded not guilty to possessing numbers slips.
City Detective John Moffa said he arrested Disner last Friday afternoon in the taproom on complaint of David Webster and John S. Miller, the state agents.
Miller testified he and Webster entered the cafe and saw Disner "write some figures down on paper after various patrons placed money on the bar."
Played 'Hot' Number
Miller said he told Disner he heard "047" was "hot" and then gave Disner a marked $1 bill. Miller quoted Disner as saying he would "get the bet in for him."
A few minutes after Disner accepted the money, the agents said, they identified themselves and searched Disner. Detective Moffa was called to make the arrest.
"My story is pretty much the same," Disner told Dzick. "I want to make it plain it wasn't my habit to do things like this. I more or less said I would put the number in as a favor to him (Miller)."

The defendant was Francis A. Burns, 48, of 3280 Mitchell st., who was arrested Dec. 17 and pronounced unfit to drive by Dr. Lee J. Hammett, police surgeon. Burns pleaded not guilty.
Before being led away to jail, Burns was given a sharp lecture by Judge Dzick, who announced that all persons found guilty of drunken driving would be jailed.
26 Cases Pending
"I thought the public had learned a lesson from all of the editorials and all of the pleading by The Courier-Post asking people not to drink and drive," Judge Dzick said. "The safety campaign which The Courier-Post has so diligently pushed seems to have gone in one ear and out the other.
"There are 26 drunken driving cases still pending on the court calendar. From now on I will jail everyone found guilty."
Then Judge Dzick told Burns: "You may think I'm a tough judge, but by the time you get out of jail you'll think I've done you a favor."
Burns, questioned by his attorney, Remo M. Croce, testified he had had only one glass of beer before being arrested, but that he (Continued on Page 3—Column 2)

Dzick Frees 2 In Row Over Car Mishap
What police called a "quarrel among thieves" was thrown out of Municipal Court Wednesday by Judge Dzick.
He discharged Nicholas Persiano, 22, of Broadway near Pine st., a key figure in the recent $22,000 Freihofer Baking Co. robbery, and Anthony Mona, of the 1400 block S. 4th st. Mona's brother, Nicholas, 20, is under bail in connection with the robbery.
For lack of evidence in an automobile case, Judge Dzick said he discharged the two "with much regret."
Both were arrested as the aftermath of an accident in which a car driven by Persiano crashed into the bulk window of the Dial Shoe Store, 1152 Broadway.
Free on Bail
Persiano, who is under $10,000 bail on the robbery charge, is said by police to have obtained $19,000 of the Freihofer loot through a ruse, although he was not directly connected with the robbery. The money has not been recovered.
Judge Dzick said he gave his discharge order because Persiano "recanted" his original charges against Mona and Robert Rodgers, 23, of Mt. Vernon st. near 2nd.
Detective George Ellis testified that Persiano originally told him that his car was forced off the highway by a machine driven by Mona, and that when the car crashed Rodgers was on the running board attempting to beat him over the head with a piece of pipe.
Says Car Skidded
In court Wednesday, Persiano said his car skidded, and his testimony was supported by that of Thomas Myers, of 632 Benson st., and James Walker, of 945 Newton ave., occupants of another car in the neighborhood at the time of the accident.
On Persiano's complaint, police arrested Mona. When Persiano failed to appear in court Monday, Judge Dzick issued a bench warrant for his arrest.
Rodgers, who was not arraigned, was in court with an attorney.
Despite earlier statements police said he made, Persiano testified Wednesday that he "wasn't sure" Mona drove the other car which threw him into a skid, and he "wasn't sure" the man riding his running board was Rodgers.
Mona had been charged with reckless driving and Persiano with careless driving.

Arrest of a tavern keeper on a charge of selling whisky to an 18-year-old automobile driver was ordered today by Municipal Judge Dzick.
The man was named as John J. Moore, operator of a taproom at 600 Point st.
In court, Charles Dougherty, of 3606 Davis ave., Runnemede, identified Moore as the man who sold him liquor shortly before a collision early Feb. 5.
License Revoked
Dougherty pleaded guilty to a drunken driving charge, and was fined $225. His driver's license was revoked for two years.
Dzick instructed Det. Sgt. Joseph Hooven to file a complaint against Moore under a city ordinance.
"You are not fit to have a license, and if I've got anything to do with it you won't," Dzick told Moore.
"I had you brought into court so you could hear the accusation made against you by this boy. For a lousy 80 cents worth of liquor you could have been the indirect cause of the death of the people involved in this accident.
"I only wish there was some way I could pin the accident liability on you."
Involved in Crash
Police testified Dougherty was driver of a car in collision with another machine driven by John Wyborski, 48, of the 3100 block Cedar st., Philadelphia, at Broadway and Webster st.
Dougherty testified Moore had sold him drinks without asking his age.
In the accident three persons were injured. They are Miss Jane Beer, 21, and her mother, Jean, 49, of 219 Penn st., and William Miles, 26, of 416 Webster st. Police said they were occupants of the Wyborski car. All were treated at Cooper Hospital.

The trial of a Camden attorney accused of embezzlement was expected to go to a jury today after a charge by County Judge Dzick.
Charles F. Murray, 37, whose office was in the 1300 block, Broadway, and who was indicted for embezzlement by bailee on complaint of the National Express Co., went on trial here Monday. The jury includes seven men and five women.
The state rested its case Tuesday after hearing testimony from Mrs. Bernice Brown, of 614 S. 3rd st., former secretary to Murray. Mrs. Brown testified her employer asked her to tell police her husband had stolen $858.50 from a filing cabinet in the lawyer's office.
A motion was made for dismissal but was denied by Judge Dzick.
Murray testified he took no part in the money order business for the express company. He said Mrs. Brown was to receive all commissions. He testified he had told the company representatives he would repay all the stolen money.
Assistant Prosecutor Asbell presented the case for the state. Murray is represented by Everett Jones.

Carbo Arrested; Bail Is $25,000
Camden, N. J. (AP) — Frankie Carbo, alleged underworld boxing kingpin with a reputation for disappearing after indictments, was free in $25,000 bail today somewhere in New Jersey.
Carbo, at 54 a mysterious man with a long police record, had been sought since last July.
Police caught up with him at first bail was denied, and a handcuffed Carbo, obviously distressed, shuffled off to jail. But finally Judge Benjamin Dzick of Camden County Court fixed the bail and ordered Carbo to remain in the state. His bail will stand until June 30 when he’ll face extradition proceedings now being arranged by New York state.
Carbo was indicted by a New York grand jury on charges of conspiracy and illegal managing and matching of prizefighters. He also is wanted by the federal government on income tax evasion charges.
Carbo Slapped Into Jersey Jail Pending Extradition To New York
Newport Daily News —
Carbo Slapped Into Jersey Jail Pending Extradition To New York
Camden, N. J. (AP) — Frankie Carbo described as “a most corrupt, corrosive and degenerating influence on the sport of boxing,” was remanded to Camden County Prison today pending outcome of extradition proceedings filed by the City of New York.
Judge Benjamin Dzick, who had freed Carbo in $25,000 bail Memorial Day, set bail at the hearing on grounds the governor of New Jersey had signed an extradition warrant. Thus, he ruled, there could be no bail.
The judge said that Carbo, 54, had 10 days to file a writ of habeas corpus.
If the writ is not filed and granted, Dzick said he would turn Carbo over to New York authorities.
Thursday, Gov. Robert B. Meyner signed extradition papers to give New York custody of Carbo. Today’s hearing followed.
