Father Climbs Out Through Window After Flames Trap Family in Bungalow

Husband Saves Wife and Babe in Blaze — Camden Courier-Post, January 25, 1930

Trapped with his wife and baby daughter in their blazing bungalow at the foot of Jackson street, Harry Perkins, 27, saved their lives yesterday afternoon by breaking a window with his hand and carrying them to the street.

Perkins, his wife, Edith, and baby, Edith, 2, were in a room off the kitchen through which they had to pass to reach the only door. An overheated coal stove is believed to have set fire to the kitchen which suddenly burst into flames.

Unable to reach the door, Perkins thrust his hand through the window, climbed out with the baby and assisted his wife to climb out after him.

Firemen were unable to save the bungalow which was destroyed at a loss of more than $1500. Perkins was treated for cuts at West Jersey Homeopathic Hospital.

Police Captain Stanley and a squad of officers last night made a raid on an alleged speak-easy at the foot of Jackson street, Camden, and captured Patrick Holden, the supposed proprietor, and two others.

The police were notified that a crowd of men were having a high old time in Holden’s boat house at Jackson street. When the raid was made several hundred persons gathered about and most of the inmates escaped. Four cases and one tub of beer, beside some whisky, were found.

News of a Day in the City of Camden - Philadelphia Inquirer, July 27, 1906

Passengers on the Cape May express of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad Company, due in Camden at 9 o’clock, were badly shaken up yesterday when the train struck a heavily laden wagon at the Kaign [sic] avenue crossing. The wagon, belonging to the Camden Lime Company, was being driven by Philip Dorsey, of 835 Bridge avenue. As he reached the track he saw the train bearing down on him. Almost at the same instant the gates were lowered and the team was imprisoned between them. The resulting crash carried the horse fifty feet and crushed its head, while the wagon was reduced to kindling wood. Dorsey escaped miraculously by dropping from his seat within a few inches of the wheels of the train.

George Willingmire, for whom the police have been looking for several weeks on a charge of stabbing Leo Hubner, who roomed with him at Ninth and Chestnut streets, was committed to the county jail by Recorder Stackhouse, in Camden, yesterday, in default of $500 bail. Willingmire, who has already served a term in State prison for stabbing two women, was located by Police Captain Stanley. While the latter was taking his prisoner to jail Willingmire attempted to escape. There was a desperate struggle, in which the bluecoat overpowered the man.

Clarence Burrows, 15 years old, of 423 Mickle street, was the youth who met such a horrible death beneath the wheels of a freight train at Broadway and Bridge avenue, Camden, Wednesday night. He and a companion had made a wager they could ride to Palmyra and back without paying their fares. They were on their return trip on the freight train when Burrows fell beneath the wheels.

Theodore Turner, 50 years old, and B. H. Sharp, 31 years old, both of 223 North Eighth street, were seriously injured yesterday when a wagon they were driving was struck by a trolley car at Ninth and Market streets, Camden. Both men were hurled from their seats and thrown directly in front of the car. They were dragged nearly a square by the fender before the motorman could stop the car. They were taken to the Cooper Hospital, where it was found they had sustained almost similar injuries.

An unknown man, about 36 years old, was drowned in the Cooper Creek, at the State street bridge, Camden, yesterday, while two boys witnessed his fate. The man was fishing and he attempted to walk out on a moss-covered log to cast his line. Slipping, he struck his head and then sank from sight. Half an hour later the body was recovered. The body was removed to the morgue.

J. Frank Johnson, of 1713 Broadway, Camden, was saved from drowning off the Jackson street wharf yesterday by former Policeman Thomas Pooley and Frank Jordan. Recently Johnson built a launch and yesterday he concluded to try it out on the Delaware. While hoisting the anchor he lost his balance and fell overboard. Unable to swim, he was just disappearing beneath the surface of the water when his rescuers reached him and brought him ashore.

Henry Beach, 15 years old, of 791 Line street, is seriously ill at his home with blood poisoning. Two weeks ago he lacerated his hand at the Camden Iron Works. White lead got into the wound, which resulted in the development of the disease.

Trolley car No. 134, of the Broadway line of the Camden and Suburban Railway Company, by a narrow margin escaped being struck by a train at the Bridge avenue crossing yesterday. At the time there were many passengers aboard the car and a small panic ensued.

Motor Vehicle Agent Forsythe has taken in over $7000 thus far in registering autos and licensing drivers.

Freeholder Lawrence Rhoades, who was so seriously ill that his death was expected, is now recovering.

William Rose, Jr., 7 years old, son of Fireman William Rose, of 426 Jackson street, who was threatened with tetanus, was greatly improved last night.

Charged with knocking out several teeth of Jacob Miskelly during a fight, Frank Harris was held in $300 bail by Recorder Stackhouse yesterday.

Six-alarm fire strikes Camden storage complex — Camden Courier-Post, August 15, 1982

CAMDEN — A six-alarm fire destroyed buildings and trucks at the rear of Gallagher’s Warehouse at 301 Jackson St. here at about 8 p.m. yesterday.

The property is owned by Peter J. DelGrande, longtime city Republican committee chairman and a former Camden County freeholder. The fire came one day after the Camden City Fire Department and the city attorney’s office had been in court to try to force removal of rolls of waste paper belonging to the Pon-Pas Waste Removal Corp., which occupied the rear building, Fire Chief John Mogck said.

A fire at another Pon-Pas facility at State Street and River Road two months ago destroyed that building.

Both fires are being investigated for arson, fire officials said.

DelGrande’s business had been cited for a fire hazard in the building, also, but that citation was postponed Friday. “Now we won’t have to worry about it,” Mogck said.

During the fire, exploding acetylene tanks sent trucks flying 50 feet or more in the air like twisters of fire, said Camden Patrolman Jim Mulligan. A dark column of smoke brought about 200 spectators from as far away as Medford.

All Camden City fire trucks were called to the scene and 11 responded from neighboring towns to fight the blaze.

At first firefighters were unable to get enough water pressure to put water on the fire and had to lay hose for several thousand feet, firefighter Nelson Savage said. A Philadelphia fire boat also responded and pumped water four blocks from the river through a hose.

The fire also destroyed a number of trucks and a load of plywood belonging to Freight Consultant Trucking Co. The firm’s owner, Ben DiMedio, said the damage could be as much as $100,000. He rented the space from DelGrande.

DelGrande filed for bankruptcy of the business in February. The bankruptcy application asked court approval to pay for repairs to the building, including a new roof and modernization of the sprinkler system.

Eric DelGrande, son of the property owner, said his father would have no comment on the fire.

510 Jackson Street, recommended for repairs, Courier-Post June 15, 1959

510 Jackson Street — Camden Courier-Post, June 15, 1959

RECOMMENDED FOR REPAIRS more than four years ago, this property was left unattended until today. It is owned by the city and due for demolition. The city, in addition to losing a tax ratable, also is “on the hook” for more than $700 in delinquent taxes and probably will have to bear the cost of its razing. It is located at 510 Jackson st.

510 Jackson Street, Courier-Post June 15, 1959 — Unfit House Stands After 4-Yr. Study

Unfit House Stands After 4-Yr. ‘Study’ — Camden Courier-Post, June 15, 1959

There is a city-owned structure at 510 Jackson st. still standing although officials recommended more than four years ago it be repaired—with little or nothing apparently done in the interim.

By strict enforcement, the city could have required the owner to make necessary repairs back in 1955 thus saving the building and a tax ratable.

Today, however, the same building, badly deteriorated and vandalized, is owned by the city which also must stand the cost of its demolition, and the write-off loss of delinquent taxes.

The city records show the following about 510 Jackson st.:

Frank Fatale, formerly connected in the city building inspection department, reported Feb. 8, 1955, that “immediate steps be taken to prevent this structure from being further depreciated and vandalized by making the necessary repairs.”

Thirteen days later, Edwin Segal, city legal assistant in charge of condemnation, notified the owner of record, Lester G. Boehm, of Collingswood, of the needed repairs and summoned him to a hearing for March 15, 1955.

Then on June 5 of the same year, Segal requested Chief Building Inspector John Dziekanski to make another inspection stating “we are in the process of condemning same.”

George LaMarra, inspector in the building bureau, reported Oct. 23, 1957, or more than 16 months after Segal’s request, that the building “be demolished without delay as it is unsafe, unfit and represents an acute fire hazard.” There also were two reports from the fire marshal’s office during the period stating the house was not only a fire hazard but a hangout for the bottle gang and neighborhood boys.

Isadore H. Hermann, tax title lien bureau chief, on July 14, 1958, notified S. Raymond Dobbs, chief of the bureau of city property, that the city had acquired title to the property.

City tax records show that the house was acquired from Fred Siris, of 5th and Cooper sts., with the house becoming a tax title lien property in 1954. The records showed that $731.97 was owed for real estate, sewer and water taxes when the city gained title.

Dobbs, three months after hearing from Hermann, directed Joseph Santone, foreman of the city demolition crew, to obtain a demolition permit. Santone took out the permit June 3 of this year, or almost eight months later.

During the interim, the fire marshal’s office submitted another report Feb. 17 this year that the property was a “dangerous fire hazard and should be demolished at once.”

Dziekanski notified Dobbs by letter of May 28, 1959, that he had received many calls and complaints from residents of the area asking why the building was not razed.

Although Santone has the demolition permit, the property remains standing amid a group of other homes which are well kept by the owners who have spent considerable money in keeping them in good repair.

South Camden Blaze Laid to Cigarette - Camden Courier-Post, January 9, 1950

Apparently caused by a discarded cigarette, according to firemen, fire early today caused slight damage to a second-floor employes’ locker room at the Siris Abattoir, 501 Jackson street.

A bus passenger saw flames shooting from the roof of the building as the bus passed Broadway and Jackson street and notified firemen at No. 3 Engine company, Broadway and Ferry avenue.

Complainant in Theft Held on Rum Charge - Camden Courier-Post, August 11, 1928

A complaining witness was held in $500 bail for the grand jury in police court yesterday when a man he had arrested for stealing his car testified he had bought whisky from him.

Henry Benzuk, 32, 502 Jackson street, charged James Draper, 36, 1676 Ferry avenue, with stealing his new automobile. Draper denied stealing the car and said Benzuk had loaned it to him. He testified he bought liquor from Benzuk. Despite the fact that Draper did not wish to make complaint, Benzuk was held.

558 Jackson Street — Camden Daily Courier, April 17, 1911

During Easter festivities at the home of John Gushue, 558 Jackson street, last evening, one of the party upset a coal oil lamp. Gushue picked the lamp up and threw it through a window, badly burning his right hand.

The blazing oil set fire to a couch and window draperies. Kaighn avenue and Broadway companies responded to the alarm and put the fire out with but small loss.

CABARET SINGER IS HELD ON BAD CHECK CHARGE — 838 Jackson Street

Charged with obtaining money under false pretense and forging a friend’s signature on two checks a year ago, a Camden cabaret singer is in the county jail in default of $300 bail.

Inez Wiley, 25, of 321 Stevens Street, was arrested by Herbert Kayser and Walter Schock of Haddon Heights police on complaint of Mrs. Ora Curry, 837 Jackson Street, a former domestic in the household of Mrs. Willat Lippincott, Station Avenue, Haddon Heights.

Mrs. Curry testified before Police Recorder Joseph A. Patton, that while working for Mrs. Lippincott she became ill and was compelled to remain at her home for a number of weeks. During that time, she said, her friend, Inez Wiley, visited Mrs. Lippincott and without Mrs. Curry’s knowledge, requested financial assistance. On two occasions Mrs. Lippincott gave the woman checks to the order of Mrs. Curry to the amount of four and five dollars respectively. These checks had been cashed by the woman and endorsed with Mrs. Curry’s forged signature, according to Mrs. Curry. Meeting Mrs. Lippincott after many months she learned the truth and caused the Wiley woman’s arrest.

My dad (Santo) grew up in this house. At one time or another they had pet rabbits, a rooster, and a duck named “Daisy” in the little back yard. When I was little my grandmother had a family of box turtles there. They burrowed under the ground when it was cold out, and when they couldn’t find enough bugs to eat we fed them bologna. My grandmother walked everywhere and she used to take me with her to St. Joe’s Polish Catholic church to do the novena. Boy, those little old ladies could pray!

Frank is now with the local representative at Toronto, Canada, for the Comey Dye Works, of South Camden, which also has a plant at Brooklyn. Frank was sure glad to see “Hen” Fach looking so well after his long illness last winter. Frank formerly resided on Whitman avenue, near the Standpipe in the park, which he says reminds him of Toronto, which is, strange to relate, now a bone-dry town. [clipping cut off]

Owner Drops Charge in Tipsy Driving

Camden Courier-Post —

Owner Drops Charge in Tipsy Driving - Camden Courier-Post, July 24, 1941

Refusal of a Camden man to press a drunken driving complaint aroused the ire of Judge Mariano in police court yesterday.

The defendant was John Czetyrka, 48, of 1176 Morton street, who was charged by Elwood Urbanowicz, of 1328 Jackson street, with being the driver of an auto that struck his car early last Sunday and then hit a pole on Ninth street.

The case was postponed from Monday when Urbanowicz failed to appear in court.

Urbanowicz refused to press the charges. He told the court he was “sore” when he caused the arrest of the driver.

“Did the $25 paid for damages to your car relieve your soreness?” said the court. Then Mariano added: “Can you realize your own child being killed by a drunken driver?”

Mariano then postponed the case until July 29 pending further investigation against Czetyrka.

A hearing on drunken driving charges against John Czetyrka, 48, of 1176 Morton street, was ordered held over until tomorrow in Police Court yesterday.

The charges were lodged following an accident at Ninth street near Fairmount street Sunday at 3 a.m., when an auto assertedly driven by Czetyrka hit the car of Elwood Urbanowicz, of 1326 Jackson street, then continued going until it crashed into a pole on Fairmount street. Officers Vernon Jones and George Weber, who arrived on the scene a short time later, testified Czetyrka was intoxicated but the case was continued so that Urbanowicz might be present to identify him as driving the car.

Among the invited dinner guests will be former U. S. Senator David Baird, Congressman Charles A. Wolverton, State Senator Albert S. Woodruff, Mrs. Elizabeth C. Verga, the five city commissioners and a large group of Sixth ward Republicans.

Costly Blazes in Camden—Youths Under Awning Badly Shocked

Sudden Torrent of Rain, High Wind and Bolts Cause Widespread Damage

Sudden and furious was the electrical storm which yesterday afternoon took Philadelphia, Camden and nearby towns by surprise. Fires were started by lightning in many sections, rain fell in torrents and the wind rose suddenly and played wide-spread havoc.

Camden was the centre of the disturbance and suffered the heaviest damage. Three boys were severely shocked there and the total damage from fires mounted to the $50,000 mark. Bolts in Ardmore felled trees across many roads, split a flag pole in front of the Ardmore public school and tumbled a chimney off the building.

Between 2.45 and 3.15 in the afternoon the thermometer dropped twenty degrees, from 85 to 65, a southwesterly wind rising at the same time to a velocity of thirty miles an hour. Typical of summer thunderstorms was the unheralded start of the downpour and its brief duration. The precipitation from 3.12 to 3.35 in the afternoon, the time during which the rain fell, was only .45 of an inch, but the greater part of this poured down in ten minutes’ time.

Many Fires in Camden

Every piece of apparatus in the Camden Fire Department was pressed into service at one and the same time, only quick response to the alarms averting disastrous blazes in two instances.

Out along the Main Line little damage was done. The house of A. J. Francis, at the junction of Grandview and Argyle roads, Ardmore, was struck by lightning and the roads themselves were blockaded by uprooted trees which forced motorists to go slow to avoid collisions with the obstructions.

The three Camden boys who were shocked, A. Goldberg, 15 years old; Richard Noon, 14 years old, and Howard Robbins, 9 years old, living at 310, 336 and 330 North Tenth street respectively, were all taken to the Cooper Hospital. Only one of the trio, Goldberg, is still in a serious condition. All were paralyzed when admitted to the hospital.

Boys Hurled to Pavement

When the storm made itself manifest with vivid flashes of lightning and reverberating thunder, the boys sought shelter beneath an awning at Tenth and Penn streets. Goldberg was leaning against an iron pole with his companions nearby. There was a blinding flash and the next instant the three boys were hurled to the pavement.

Others beneath the awning went to their assistance, although several were slightly affected by the bolt also. The boys were apparently dead when placed in the auto ambulance, but after several hours of work at the hospital, the youthful victims were revived. They said it looked like a great greenish white ball which descended from the darkened skies and which apparently struck the pole against which Goldberg was leaning.

Within five minutes four alarms of fire had been turned into the Camden Electrical Bureau. One was from the Parkside school at Wildwood and Princess avenues, another from the elevated bridge of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Third and Bridge avenue, the third from the department store of Toone & Hollinshed, at Broadway and Kaighn avenue, and the fourth from the Camden Curtain Rod Factory, Broadway and Jackson streets. In each instance it was a bolt of lightning that struck electric wires that caused the blaze.

At the Toone & Hollinshed store, one of the largest in Camden, and which is located in a three-story building, the fire had its origin in the basement. There were large quantities of mens’ and boys’ furnishing and duplicate supplies of dry goods stored there ready for display. This material was excellent food for the flames, and for a time they threatened to mount up through the stairway of the main floors, but the quick work of the firemen averted such a contingency.

Woman Saves Firm’s Books

At the height of the blaze, which raged fiercely in the basement, Miss Anna Brennan, chief bookkeeper, mounted a fire escape to the second floor. Standing by a window from which the smoke issued in thick volumes, she superintended the rescuing of the firm’s books. Not until all had been taken out did she leave her post. Fireman John McTaggart, of Chemical Company No. 1, rescued the books.

There was such thick, pungent smoke issuing from the windows that several firemen were temporarily overcome, but they were revived and went back to work. Harry Green, of Engine Company No. 1, was badly cut about the hands by falling glass.

It was stated by Thomas Hollinshed, a member of the firm, that the damage to the store and stock would total at least $25,000. This was due not only to the blaze, but also to the smoke which permeated all parts of the three-story building.

It was in the southwest corner of the building of the Camden Curtain Rod Company that the fire had its origin. It spread with great rapidity and for a time it was feared the entire three-story structure would fall prey to the flames. The fire fighters confined the blaze to the first floor however. The tons of water coupled with the fire caused damage estimated at $25,000, fully covered by insurance.

At the Parkside School it was found that the fire had caused but little damage and the railroad bridge at Third and Bridge avenue was only scorched. There was something of a furore at the latter place because over the structure were passing many seashore trains laden with passengers for Camden and this city.

The storm was one of the most intense Camden has experienced this summer, although it was less than half an hour in duration. Throughout the city trees and fences were leveled and on the surrounding roads, especially the White Horse pike, hundreds of autoists were forced to seek shelter. Some of the thoroughfares in the lower sections were converted into veritable torrents, so great was the rainfall.

Seals Lips as Police Seek to Learn Identity of Assailant

EIGHT UNDER ARREST IN SUSPECT ROUNDUP

Surgeons at Hospital Find Four Jagged Bullet Holes in Body

Victim of the gang feud—he denounced on his death bed, Joseph “Mose” Flannery, 26, picturesque Eighth ward political worker, was dying today in West Jersey Homeopathic Hospital.

Mortally wounded, his body riddled with bullets, Flannery was shot some time shortly before 4 a. m. today as he stood on the sidewalk outside a saloon at Front and Kaighn avenue.

Four or five men, grouped closely about the prone body of the political worker, hailed a truck which took Flannery to the hospital at 4.15.

Eight men had been arrested by police, seven charged with being a material witness, and the other being held at police headquarters “on suspicion.”

They were James L. Hawkins, 37, declared by police to be proprietor of the saloon at 101 Kaighn avenue; Walter Novak, 22, 442 Jackson street; Russell Sage, 25, of 407 Mechanic street; Joseph Novak, 34, of 508 Jackson street; Eugene Murphy, 51, of 101 Kaighn avenue; “Cuzzy” Scarduzio, 27, who gave police no home address, and Joseph Moll, 25, of 101 Kaighn avenue, all held as material witnesses; and Patrick Driscoll, 25, of 1225 South Third street, held “on suspicion.”

Cause of Shooting Unknown

Despite a far-reaching investigation, Flannery’s assailant or assailants, the details of the shooting, and its cause remained undetermined this noon. Every available county and city detective was engaged in the probe as Camden gangland’s victim hovered between life and death in the hospital.

Realizing doctors had given him but a few hours to live, Flannery continued to maintain his silence concerning how he was shot, and which he had adopted when he was carried into the hospital on a stretcher.

“My lips are sealed and if I don’t live to get the fellows who did this my gang will get them,” he told physicians when placed on the operating table at 4:30 a. m.

At 9 o’clock this morning, the doctors had given up hope for his recovery, but Flannery still was alive at 2.30 this afternoon.

South Camden virtually buzzed with rumors to the effect that Flannery’s fate was the result of a war in the bootleg ring; that it was the aftermath of a feud over slot machines; that it was a case of “women,” and that it could be linked up with the shooting in January of Joseph Cimini, by Joseph Devon, known as “Polack Joe.”

At Loss for Motive

Police were at a loss to name the motive. Acting Assistant Prosecutor Samuel P. Orlando, in charge of the investigation, said the probe had not reached the point where anyone person could be accused of shooting Flannery, or where the gun fire could be traced to anything but a “gang feud.”

“Mose” Flannery had been shot. He probably would die. That much was known. The rumors naturally followed for Flannery was well-known, not only in the close-mouthed circle in which he moved, but throughout the city as well.

“Mose” Flannery is one of the most picturesque figures in Camden’s political “gangland.” For several years he has been a slot machine distributor in Camden and Philadelphia.

When “Polack Joe” Devon shot and killed Joseph Cimini, Philadelphia gambler in the Sixth Ward Republican Club early in the morning of January 14, last, Flannery was arrested as a material witness. It was disclosed by police that Flannery and Cimini had gone into the club together a few minutes before Devon’s gun pumped death into Cimini’s body after the Philadelphian had quarrelled with Devon.

Flannery was considered the most important of the material witnesses connected with the Cimini murder. Sage, arrested on suspicion this morning in connection with the felling of Flannery, was another “important” witness in the Sixth Ward Club shooting affair.

James Bonner, who was mysteriously shot several months ago, was questioned today by detectives but was not held. Walter Selby, a taxicab driver, also was taken before Chief of Detectives Golden and County Detective Chief Doran, but he too was released after being closeted with the officials for more than an hour.

Sage Ordered Held

After questioning Sage, Acting Assistant Prosecutor Orlando ordered that the man be held.

In the meantime, Flannery lay on a hospital cot, propped up on his side, his pain deadened by opiates. He mumbled incoherently to members of his family grouped about him. At times he lapsed into a state of unconsciousness.

The doomed political worker early today had asked for a priest. Rev. Father John J. Henry went to the hospital. “Joe,” he said, “you’re dying. You’d better give police a statement.”

Flannery was said by doctors to have replied he would tell nothing, that if he lived, “he’d settle,” and that if he died, “my gang will take care of that.”

After a session in which more than a dozen men were questioned, Captain Golden and Detective Chief Doran shortly before noon went to the scene of the shooting. They found evidence that a scuffle in the saloon at Front and Kaighn avenue had preceded the shooting.

Tables had been overturned. Glasses had been broken. Forty cents in change was found on a table beside a picture of a small baby. There was an empty glass on one table, another glass half-filled with beer on the bar.

Bullets Meant for Novak?

It was reported that police had been informed by one of those they questioned that the bullets which ripped their way through Flannery’s body had been meant for Walter Novak who they said had been standing at “Mose’s” side at the time of the shooting. The police officials refused to confirm that rumor. Novak had told them, Capt. Golden said, he was not with Flannery at the time. Later Novak admitted to being on the corner near the saloon, police said.

Police recalled that Novak was arrested several months ago in the alleged theft of a slot machine from the store of Louis Schectman, in Broadway near Line street. Novak was apprehended after a wild chase through South Camden streets.

Schectman at first told police Novak was one of two men who entered his store, and at the point of a gun, robbed him of a nickel slot machine. Testifying in a hearing in police court several days later, Schectman said he hadn’t kept a slot machine in his store, and that two men unknown to him stole a box of cigars and escaped in an automobile.

As far as could be learned by an Evening Courier representative, the case against Novak never was settled.

The bullets were fired from a “pump” gun and were of .32 calibre. According to Detective Thomas Cheeseman, they could have been fired only from a gun of the type common to gangsters who “shoot to kill.” Cheeseman said a “pump” gun was designed to hold nine shells or “wads,” as they are commonly known. The leaden bullet is surrounded by a coating of asbestos, which breaks from the lead upon the firing of the gun and allows the lead to enter its target.

Police were following every clue which developed, no matter how scanty. Detectives combed the Front street and Kaighn avenue neighborhood, it was learned, in an effort to discover the haunts of the gang known by police to center in that part of the city.

Chief of Police Lewis W. Stehr was asked if police would act against the owners of the habitats of the “Front and Kaighn avenue” gang or if a routine investigation into the shooting of Flannery would be conducted. Chief Stehr said the usual investigation was being made and would continue.

While members of the political worker’s family talked with Flannery, and while investigation of the shooting by county detectives and police was under way, doctors said the man who lives at 346 Jackson street, couldn’t “live out the day.”

Flannery had a bullet wound two inches in diameter in his back. Another bullet had pierced his abdomen, and he had been shot in both elbows, physicians said. Doctors said the bullets were two inches long and three-quarters of an inch in diameter.

It was shortly after 4 a. m. when Charles Foulk, of 219 Point street, driver of The Courier-Post delivery truck, was hailed by a group of men standing on a corner at Front street and Kaighn avenue.

“Have you got time to take a man to the hospital?” one of the group asked Foulk, according to the story he told Captain John Golden, chief of city detectives.

Flannery was lifted into the rear of the truck, two men jumped on the running board and the run for West Jersey Hospital began.

Walter Wartman, of 315 North Second street, another Courier-Post employe, who had assisted in the delivery of Morning Posts at the Reading Ferries, was with Foulk.

Foulk said one of the men jumped from the truck when it reached Mt. Ephraim and Atlantic avenues. The other went into the hospital, whispered a few words to Flannery, and then raced out the main entrance.

Mose’s Companion Escapes

Mrs. Edward McGrath, supervisor of nurses, called Policeman Frank Malec who for several days has been guarding a man known as “Two-Gun” Kelly, and Malec gave chase to the unknown companion of Flannery. Malec saw the man disappear on Mt. Ephraim avenue, but couldn’t find him in a search of the neighborhood.

In the meantime, City Detective William Boettcher, who had been working the morning shift, had notified Assistant Prosecutor Samuel P. Orlando; Lawrence T. Doran, chief of Camden county detectives; Capt. Golden, and had called City Detectives George Ward, Louis Shaw, Thomas Cheesman [sic] and Howard Pike to investigate the shooting.

Boettcher said Flannery refused to “talk.” “You are a policeman and I’m no friend of the police. I’ll never tell,” Flannery told the officer, Boettcher declared.

Later Flannery told physicians, “I have learned my lesson and hope this will be an example to other young men.”

Witness in Cimini Shooting

Flannery was held as a material witness in the fatal shooting of Joseph Cimini, 31, in the Sixth Ward Republican Club, early in the morning of January 14.—Joseph Devon, known as “Polack Joe” fired the shot that killed Cimini. Devon was arrested but the case never came to trial.

Devon now is at liberty on bail and is under indictment for manslaughter in connection with Cimini’s death. Flannery also was released under bail.

While police continued their investigation, Flannery, still determined to refuse information to detectives and doctors, was surrounded by his wife, his 4-year-old son, his mother and father, and his 19-year-old brother James. Calling “Jim” to his side, Flannery, according to physicians, said, “I want you to promise me you’ll never get mixed up in these gang wars.” “Jim” promised, Detective Boettcher said.

Novak Under Suspicion

In their search for the “mysterious” companion of Flannery on the ride to the hospital, police pointed a suspicioning finger at Walter Novak who they had held “on suspicion.”

According to information given them by Foulk, the truck driver, Flannery, during the ride from Front and Kaighn avenue to the hospital, whispered, “Where are you taking me, Walt?” He was told the hospital was the truck’s destination, Foulk told police.

Detectives said Novak might have been the “Walt” to whom Flannery spoke. Novak said he was 22, was a “salesman” and lived at 442 Jackson street.

Taken by Strategy

Scarduzio’s arrest resulted from a piece of strategy on the part of Chief of County Detectives Doran. Doran with several members of his staff and city detectives were in the bar-room of the saloon at 101 Kaighn avenue when the telephone rang before noon.

Doran picked up the receiver and the party on the other end asked if Joseph Moll, son of former Policeman Frank Moll, was there.

Figuring that the persons might be some one who could help the authorities unravel the mystery, Doran answered:

“Yes, this is Joe Moll.”

“Well, I want to see you right away,” continued the other party.

“Will you come right down to 674 Fairview street. I want to see you,” finished the unidentified speaker who then hung up.

Doran with Captain of Detectives Golden hurried down to the address given and there found Scarduzio in the home of Garfield Del Duca.

Scarduzio, it is said, was more surprised to see the authorities than they were to find him as Chief Doran had been searching for “Cuzzie” for several hours.

He said he had nothing to do with the shooting of Flannery. Limping when the detectives escorted him from the house, Scarduzio was first taken to West Jersey Homeopathic Hospital to discover whether or not he was suffering from any bullet wounds in the legs.

Scarduzio Not Shot

Doctors later said Scarduzio had not been shot and the man who had been surprised at the Del Duca home was taken to police headquarters.

He “knew nothing about the shooting,” Scarduzio told Captain Golden and County Detective Chief Doran. There were stains, possibly bloodstains, on Scarduzio’s trousers, the police said. “Cuzzy,” as he is known in police circles, wore a clean white shirt, and that fact sent detectives from headquarters on another tangent in their investigation.

Scarduzio was asked where he had left a “bloody shirt” he was reported to have been wearing early today. According to police, he denied his shirt was bloody, and refused to give them any information.

City Detectives David Hunt, Samuel Johnson, and Walter Smith were dispatched on the “side” investigation.

Detective Thomas Cheesman [sic], of the city hall staff, also holds two warrants for the arrest of Scarduzio in connection with the holdup of a saloon in Gloucester several weeks ago and the theft of an automobile.

Moll was arrested while sleeping in a room over the saloon near Front and Kaighn avenue. He was arrested by Chief Doran, Captain Golden and Detective Ray Sapanore. Moll has been in police toils several times recently, the last time in connection with the mysterious shooting of Bonner near the spot where Flannery fell.

Woman Describes Auto

The movements of an automobile bearing Pennsylvania license and containing several men whom she said ran out of the saloon near Front and Kaighn avenue an hour after Flannery was shot, were described to police officials late this morning by Mrs. Mary Brown, who lives near the saloon.

She was questioned at detective headquarters after she had reported seeing the car drive onto the Spruce street pier, four men alight and board a motorboat which set off across the Delaware river in the direction of Philadelphia.

According to Mrs. Brown, the driver of the “mysterious” automobile turned the car about and raced north on Front street.

A city-wide man-hunt had been made for Joseph “Cuzzie” Scarduzio, detectives said after the “surprise arrest” on Fairview street. Police had heard rumors Scarduzio, known by them to be a “pal” of Flannery, had been standing by “Mose” when he was “given the works” by the yet unknown gunman or gunmen. They had heard, detectives announced, that Scarduzio, coatless and hatless, had been seen leaving the scene of the shooting, his clothes spattered with blood from the wounds of his friend.

Camden detectives said they doubted if Philadelphia gangsters were responsible, believing, they announced, that the shooting was local to the Camden gang center they knew existed.

City Detective Walter Smith shortly after noon brought a South Camden bartender into police headquarters for questioning.

The man said he was Frank Smith, and tended bar in a saloon in the 1800 block on Broadway, near Ferry avenue, and said he had overheard three men telephone for a taxicab to take them to Front street and Kaighn avenue. Smith placed the time after midnight, according to police, and detectives doubted if the three men were connected with the Flannery “case.” Smith was not held by police.

Planned Burial, Hanged Herself

Philadelphia Inquirer —

Planned Burial, Hanged Herself - Philadelphia Inquirer, October 17, 1910 Planned Burial, Hanged Herself - Philadelphia Inquirer, October 17, 1910

Woman Alone in the World Committed Suicide in a Deserted Building in Camden

After making arrangements for the decent burial of her body, Mrs. Elizabeth Anna Black, 39[?] years old, who lived with Mrs. Mary Kelly, of 412 Vanhook street, Camden, ended her life some time Saturday night by hanging herself from a window in the deserted building of the Camden Smelting Works, Sixth and Jackson streets. The body was taken to the Morgue, but later claimed by Mrs. Kelly, the only friend the unfortunate woman had.

Alone in the world, her husband and children dead, Mrs. Black frequently spoke of being weary of life. Lately she had met with a mishap which prevented her from earning enough for her board. This appeared to prey on her mind to such an extent that comforting words from Mrs. Kelly had no effect. The only thing that Mrs. Black cared about was to see that she escaped a pauper’s burial in the event of death. She turned over her insurance papers to Mrs. Kelly with the injunction to have the money spent in a respectable interment. This Mrs. Kelly promised to do.

When Mrs. Black went to the lonesome place where the smelting building is located is not known. The spot is an isolated one, located at the lower end of the Line Ditch swamp. All of the windows have long since been knocked out by boys, who use the structure as a sort of rendezvous. It was while they were about to enter the ramshackle structure yesterday that they saw the body swinging from the sash of one of the windows. They notified Policeman Cornog, who cut down the swaying body.

Mrs. Black had knotted together several shoestrings, a piece of manila rope and a part of her skirt, which she had tied about her throat. After making the other end fast to the lower sash of one of the windows, she leaped to her death. Coroner Latchfield found that her neck had been broken.

From what Mrs. Kelly was able to learn about the woman, she came originally from Rappahannock, Va., where she is said to have well-to-do relatives. Mrs. Black was always reticent about speaking of her family connections, however.
