High Street

High Street runs east from 114 East State Street, parallel to Federal Street to North 26th Street, where it doglegs to the left, and continues to North 30th Street, running parallel to Westfield Avenue. High Street begins again at North 32nd Street, and runs all the way to the border with Pennsauken at North 42nd Street, from where it continues in Pennsauken all the way to Cove Road, ending opposite Arlington and Bethel Cemeteries.

Outside of a few corner stores, most of the buildings on High Street were and are residential. The two great exceptions are the Thomas H. Dudley School between North 23rd and North 24th Streets, and the Henry H. Davis School between North 24th Street and North 36th Street.

From the winter of 1985 on until the present day, however, there has been a great amount of “business” activity, on the corner of North 25th Street and High Street, which has been a notorious drug corner for over 20 years.

2620 High Street — The Gonzalez Family

My name is Hector Gonzalez. I am the youngest son of Digna Gonzalez. We originally moved to Camden and resided temporarily on Bailey Street and then later to Westminster Avenue at the McGuire Gardens projects. We were poor and my mother was raising 5 children alone. She received her GED and later graduated from Pennsauken Tech with a Registered Nursing degree and began working at Cooper Hospital. Not bad for a woman who also had to learn English! Finally in 1969 my mother moved us to our first house on 2620 High Street. We were the first Hispanic family on the block. We were so proud and happy. I remember the RCA store on the corner of 27th Street and High Street. My mother purchased almost all of our appliances here until they closed down. Around the corner on 27th Street was a mom and pop candy store that we enjoyed for years until the store closed. Across the street from our house was Tony’s Auto. They fixed our car for us whenever it was needed. I played little league baseball around the corner on 26th Street for 12th Ward. We had it made.

At first we were not always accepted. It must have been hard for the neighbors to open their community to this Hispanic family but eventually we were. I remember Mr. Jack (I do not remember his last name), he became a surrogate father to me. He taught me to love baseball and especially the Phillies. I remember Mr. Johnson. He and his wife would allow me to play with their by then grown children’s childhood toys. I remember feeling the trust and always played with these toys respectfully.

My mother raised all of her children and lived in the house until September, 1992. My mother moved out of the house on a Sunday. On Monday a new family moved in. On Tuesday the house next door caught on fire and destroyed both properties. Today, 2620 is an empty lot.

Police Captain Visited by “Devil”

Camden Daily Courier —

Police Captain Visited by Devil - Camden Daily Courier, January 21, 1909

Tracks in the Snow Found in Rear Yards of Many Homes

HAPPENINGS ON THE EAST SIDE

It would be a strange thing indeed if the “Jersey Devil,” or two-legged animal, which has spread terror throughout all South Jersey should slight the East Side. But he did not, and hundreds are willing to testify that the strange thing paid them a visit. Its tracks in the snow were plainly visible yesterday in the back yards of Captain of Police William Alberts [sic], Westfield avenue near Twenty-ninth street; Postmaster Thomas Adams, on Westfield avenue, near Twenty-sixth street; at Frank Stones, Twenty-seventh and High streets; William Godfreys, 2710 High street; Mr. Schaeffer, on Twenty-seventh street near High; Richard Smith & Sons’ lumber yard at Cooper’s Creek and Federal streets; Frank Adams, on Church street; Eslin Ashton, on Twenty-sixth and Federal; J. M. Pennock, Twenty-sixth and Federal; Fred. Spuhler, Twenty-ninth and High streets, and many other places. As described by those who have seen the tracks of the freak animal in other towns the marks are very similar to those of a donkey’s hoof. Last evening a party of Missourites, who wanted to be shown, had congregated in Jonas Shaw’s cigar store, 2611 Westfield avenue, when Frank Adams, son of the postmaster, appeared. “Where are those tracks?” said one of the party. Procuring a candle, Adams marshaled the party next door to his father’s rear yard where he convinced the entire bunch in about two seconds that he was not dreaming, for the prints were still plainly visible in the snow, notwithstanding yesterday’s sun beat heavily upon it which has partly obliterated the marks in many places.

The strange animal did many freakish stunts on the East Side. In Schaeffer’s yard there is an old gate leaning against the back fence. There is a space of less than a foot between the gate and the fence yet the Animal strutted right between, leaving his foot prints very plainly. He seems to have visited back yards in this section. No one reports having seen the prints in the front yard and it must be some animal in search of something to eat.

Already a party of East Siders are waiting up at night to catch the “Devil,” and will open a nickel show, with his “nibs” on exhibition if they succeed in catching him.

More Witnesses in Kellmann Murder

Camden Post-Telegram —

More Witnesses in Kellmann Murder - Camden Post-Telegram, October 16, 1912 More Witnesses in Kellmann Murder - Camden Post-Telegram, October 16, 1912

Police Find Two Other Men Who Met Slayers at the Bridge.

ONE CONVERSED WITH DUFFIELD

Two more important witnesses in the Karl Kellmann murder case, according to Chief of Police Gravenor, were located yesterday by Detectives Painter and Moffett and Policeman Abbott.

Berthold Neuman, of 2813 High street, it is stated, crossed the bridge at Twenty-seventh street, a short time before the murder and saw two men acting suspiciously. He had not gone far before he heard what later proved to be pistol shots, but at the time he thought the noise was caused by the explosion of signal torpedoes on the tracks.

Great stress is laid on the importance of the statements of Stewart Dahm, a railroad man, of 2303 Mickle street. According to Chief Gravenor Dahm, while crossing the lots near Twenty-sixth street and the railroad heard some one say “Let’s get the — — —“ and an instant later he was confronted by William Duffield, one of the three men held for murder.

It is claimed that at that time, Coursey, alias “Cowboy Pete,” with his pistol plainly visible, and Staley were but a short distance away. Acording [sic] to the written police report Dahm said he answered Duffield by saying “Oh, you’re drunk again,” and Duffield and the others immediately left in the direction of the bridge.

Two “Pals,” Too, Accused of Crime

Harry Duffield. Fred. Coursey. Linnans Staley.

Trio Accused of Murder, Coursey Firing the Shots.

Collapsing when arraigned in Police Court this morning before Recorder Stackhouse on the charge of killing Karl Kellmann, aged 18 years, of 2919 High street, at Twenty-seventh and Sherman streets, shortly before midnight Saturday, Fred Coursey, alias “Mexican Pete,” alias “Cowboy Pete,” aged 20 years, of 121 North Twenty-first street, who admits firing the fatal shots while committing robbery, and Harry Duffield, aged 21 years, of 407 North Forty-first street, who acknowledged masking his face with a handkerchief and being with Coursey, sobbed piteously, resting their heads on the railing of the dock, while John Painter, the veteran detective, was briefly reciting the story.

When Recorder Stackhouse asked what became of the young man who was shot and Painter replied that he died, Coursey and Duffield sobbed afresh, and when Recorder Stackhouse committed them without bail Policemen Frost and Kay had to help them.

Linnans Staley, aged 21 years, of 1819 Federal street, who confessed that he was in the robbery plot but later got scared and hid in the bushes, was scarcely able to stand, and when his mother broke down as he was committed as a principal he staggered and would have fallen but for Sergeant McClong.

Prosecutor Boyle announced this morning that the Grand Jury will be recalled for Thursday of this week and the case will be made the special order of the day.

Without the slightest clue to start with in the most brutal murder committed in recent years in Camden county, police and detectives under the personal direction of Chief Gravenor in two hours arrested two of the three prisoners and obtained their signatures to confessions and before sunrise the other was lodged behind the bars at the City Hall.

According to their statements to the police the prisoners while drinking on a lot near Twenty-first and Federal streets on Saturday night planned to go to a lone spot near Twenty-seventh and Sherman streets to hold someone up to get money and jewelry to buy more drink. Coursey had a 38-calibre cowboy pistol and Duffield used Coursey’s bandanna as a mask. Staley weakened before the spot selected was reached and at the time of the murder was hiding in a clump of weeds a short distance away.

The murdered boy was the son of Karl and Lulu D. Kellmann. He was a member of the Bible class of Grace Presbyterian Church, East Side, and active in church work.

Saturday night was the closing of a carnival given on High street between Twenty-seventh and Thirtieth streets. Karl was there and made several purchases. At one booth he bought a necktie, from another some ice cream and a box of candy and spent some time conversing with the young ladies connected with the church.

When it grew rather late he noticed that Misses Bertha and Bessie Skillen, of 815 North Thirty-fourth street, the latter a teacher in Grace Church Sunday-school, were without an escort and he volunteered to see them home. They accepted his invitation to be their escort. He saw them safely home and he was on his way back and had reached a point on the east side of Twenty-seventh street south of Sherman street and near the foot of the bridge that spans the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks when two men jumped out from behind a tree and as one commanded him to hold up his hands the other began to shoot.

The first shot struck him in the breast and turned him partially around. The next ploughed a hole through his neck, knocking him down, and the third went wide.

Screaming for help he tried to rise to his feet and was on his knees when Night Yardmaster Albert Ludlow and Brakeman Joseph Wittick, who were on the opposite side of the bridge, ran to his assistance. By the light of their lanterns they saw that he was seriously hurt and they took him to ’Squire Sasse’s house nearby to await the arrival of the ambulance. As the railroaders sped across the bridge Ludlow saw a man run down the tracks in the direction of Seventeenth street.

In the signal tower at Pavonia station known as C. B. the operator, Thomas Sink, heard the shots and cries for help and ’phoned to Captain James at Police Headquarters that a murder had been committed. Sink also saw a man run down through the weeds and bushes on the east side of the bridge toward the railroad tracks.

Policeman Hurlock and Schmid, ’Squire and Mrs. Sasse and several others were out on the street before the railroad men reached the Sasse home and all hurried to ’phones to notify police headquarters.

In less than five minutes by use of the red light system Captain James had every officer on duty on the East Side hurrying to the scene, officers stationed at every bridge, ferry house and railroad terminal, and the downtown auto with Detectives Schregler, Painter, Brothers and Moffett on its way to East Camden.

On information from the railroad men Sergeant Horner took all the East Side officers and the four detectives and they worked westward among the cars while Captain James started Policemen Colsey and Kelly to walk eastward from Fifteenth street until they met the main body.

The search proved fruitless and as they returned to the bridge one of the men picked up a green bandanna with yellow spots and sheep burrs embeded [sic] on it on the incline near the signal tower. Later he recalled that the man who went down the slope wore a Khaki shirt and cap.

The handkerchief was recognized as the kind used by “Indian Bill” May, and Detectives Brothers and Policeman Abbott were sent to arrest him. They found May and Eugene Cafferty asleep in a moving van in Marlton avenue. “Indian Bill” soon established an alibi.

Detective Schregler and a couple of officers who were sure that the description of the man with the khaki shirt tallied with Duffield started for his brother’s house, but failed to find him there. About this time the downtown auto turned into Twenty-seventh street to get Karl’s father, mother and sister and take them to the hospital. Councilman Finkeldey and a friend shouted to the crew that a woman was down and out on a step nearby, but the crew yelled back that they were on an emergency run and the woman would keep until they returned. Fireman J. H. Vickers walked across the street to investigate and found that the supposed woman was Duffield and that he seemed to be asleep.

Vickers shook him and as he got up he said something about the shooting that aroused Vickers’ curiosity and he ’phoned to Police Headquarters. Captain James immediately notified Chief Gravenor, who was on the scene and the latter sent Detective Moffett to investigate. When Moffett arrived he learned that Duffield had taken a Westfield avenue car. Moffett returned to the bridge and he and Detective Painter and Chief Gravenor took the down-town auto for Duffield’s home.

Painter went to the front door and saw Duffield in the act of taking off his shoes. Moffett in going around to the back door to prevent his escape that way passed by the window at which Duffield was sitting.

Grasping Duffield by the collar Moffett pulled him through the window to the ground. As soon as he landed on his feet, according to the Chief and detectives, Duffield said that Coursey did the shooting.

Placing him in the auto they next drove close to Coursey’s home and with Policeman Potter who knew the man wanted, the detectives entered the house with drawn revolvers while other officers guarded all avenues of escape.

Coursey was found akwake [sic] on a cot and while he was covered with revolvers Detective Painter searched his trunk and found the weapon that he later admitted using. It was empty. The detectives late yesterday afternoon found three used shells adjoining the house near a spot where Coursey said he had thrown them.

In order to keep the men apart they were taken to the City Hall separately and questioned and after they decided to tell all Sergeant E. B. McClong reduced their statements to writing and they signed them. It was on the strength of these statements that Staley was arrested.

Young Kellmann was taken into the hospital at 12.20 a. m. Chief Surgeon Schellenger saw at a glance that there was no hope for him and so notified Captain James, and Sergeant McClong was sent to the hospital to get all information possible.

The unfortunate youth could only speak a few words at a time because of the hemorrhages. All Sergeant McClong was able to get from him was that he was told to hold up his hands and that the shooting instantly began. The only description he could give was that they were small men and that the attack was so sudden that he could not tell whether they were black or white.

The injured young man kept asking the doctors if he was going to die, but they did not answer. He was conscious when his father and mother arrived and then sank rapidly until the end, dying at 1.50 o’clock, 90 minutes after he was admitted. Mother and father were prostrated and were taken home by the up-town auto.

County Physician Jones conducted the autopsy yesterday morning. He said that either wound would have caused death. The bullet in the breast pierced the right lung at the top and lodged in the cavity. It is now in the doctor’s possession. The other bullet went clear through the neck.

Coursey and Duffield have been working in the Pavonia car yard. The former was born in El Paso, Texas, but has lived East nearly all his life. He is an expert shot and was a member of the vaudeville team of Coursey & Cook, according to their letter heads presenting a fifteen-minute thriller.

Duffield was only recently paroled for robbing Gallagher’s saloon, Nineteenth and Federal streets of a lot of drinkables. Staley has been arrested several times on petty charges but was never convicted of crime. When Duffield’s coat was examined at the City Hall, it was found to contain sheep burrs.

To a reporter Coursey said that whenever he was drinking he had to get his gun and shoot something or somebody. He insisted that all were in on the job and that they let the man who preceded Kellman go over the bridge without molestation because he didn’t look as if he had any too much money.

Yesterday morning Assistant Prosecutor Wolverton and Stenographer Cleary called at the City Hall. The prisoners were examined by Mr. Wolverton and their statements taken by Mr. Cleary, but there was little or nothing new elicited.

RAHWAY GETS MAN FOR THEFT OF $20

Defendant at Pennsauken Found Guilty by Jury in 3-Year-Old Robbery

James Brody, 22, of 4341 Forty-third Street, Pennsauken Township, yesterday was sentenced to serve an indefinite term in Rahway Reformatory today in Criminal Court.

A jury found him guilty of participation in a $20 robbery three years ago. The jury deliberated for one hour and a half. The state charged that Brody, in company with Harry Schultz, 2162 Berwick Street, and William Dempsey, 2271 Mickle Street, went to the candy store of Mrs. Celia Schulman, 2902 High Street, threatened her with a pistol and took the money on Oct. 23, 1930.

Schultz and Dempsey were subsequently arrested, tried and sentenced to two years each. Brody was indicted and declared a fugitive.

In court yesterday Brody denied that he had made an attempt to evade arrest and said he had been working as a hand on a dredge in the Delaware River. He said if there was a holdup he knew nothing about it for on the day in question he was intoxicated and merely took a ride with the two convicted bandits.

“I was so drunk I don’t remember anything,” he declared. “If there was a holdup, I had nothing to do with it.”

A fatal automobile accident resulted in Brody’s arrest on the holdup charge. On the 28th of last month William Urban, 60, 109 Allen’s Court, a passenger in Brody’s car, was killed when the machine collided with a bus. During the subsequent investigation of the crash, Detective William Lehman remembered that a fugitive warrant had never been served on Brody and placed him under arrest.

Auto Slips From Jack, Kills Man - Camden Courier-Post, November 15, 1955

Victim Crushed While Installing Spring on Car

A 78-year-old auto repairman was killed Tuesday when a car fell from a jack on his head and chest in the shop he had operated for 30 years.

Clarence G. Watson, of 2903 High st., was pronounced dead on arrival at Cooper Hospital.

The body was found at 5.30 p. m. by a son, Thomas W., 33, who went to the shop at 2922 Saunders st. when he came home from work and missed his father.

Detective Martin Nelson said the elder Watson had raised the automobile, his own, on a bumper jack, and removed a wheel. He was lying on his back apparently trying to install a new spring when the machine fell. Police said a small hydraulic jack used on the spring had apparently jarred the car off the bumper jack.

The son, employed at a Camden auto body repair shop, said he expected to find his father preparing dinner as usual when he arrived home.

The two lived alone since the death of Mrs. Watson three years ago, the father continuing to work in his shop and keeping house.

Kitchen implements indicated Watson had prepared his lunch at home, the son said. The accident would thus have occurred sometime in the afternoon.

Coroner Robert J. Blake said the death was apparently accidental, and ordered an autopsy today.

Surviving also are another son, Horace C., of Moorestown, and two daughters, Mrs. Mary Hart and Mrs. Reba Rogers, both of Pennsauken.

2 Husbands, Wife Win Divorce Suits - Camden Courier-Post, July 29, 1941

Charges of Desertion Bring Recommendation for Marital Freedom

Three divorce decrees were recommended by Advisory Master William B. Knight yesterday in uncontested actions charging desertion.

Mrs. Theresa B. Baldwin, of 20 Haddon avenue, was awarded custody of her two children, 13 and 11 years old, in her suit against William H. Baldwin, of 2946 High street. Married Oct. 7, 1925, he deserted her in November, 1937, the woman testified.

Paul L. Skeggs, of 4965 Oxford street, Philadelphia, and Russell E. Lord, of 106 Ogden avenue, Collingswood, both were married in Elkton, Md., the former May 10, 1923; the latter Nov. 13, 1937.

Skeggs said his wife, Helen I., of 922 Spruce street, left him in February, 1932, saying she was “fed up” with married life and its responsibilities. Numerous attempts to induce her to return were unavailing, Skeggs said.

Lord gave similar testimony concerning his wife, Amorel B., of Bloomfield, who left him March 17, 1939, after a little over a year of marriage.

Memory of Cop Traps Suspect In ’47 Holdup - Camden Courier-Post, November 6, 1951

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.
