Suspect in Holdup Identified at Trial
Camden Evening Courier —
Hotel Night Clerk Not Certain of 2 Others in Robbery
Positive identification was made of one of three bandit suspects who went on trial today in Criminal Court on charges of holding up and robbing the night clerk and elevator operator of the Hotel Camden on the morning of November 21.
The defendants, all of whom deny the charges, are Rollie Waterhouse, 19, of 422 Mechanic street; Joseph McKenna, 29, of 550 Lansdowne avenue; and Ralph Endt, 23, of 1161 Van Hook street. They are named in one joint indictment charging robbery.
They were arrested less than an hour after the holdup when they were crossing the Camden Bridge in a taxicab. Under the seat was $76.83, just 40 cents more than the bandits took from Harry A. Auman, the night clerk, and Jacob Davis, the elevator operator.
Auman, the first witness called by the state today, walked over to the defense table and dramatically identified Endt as the bandit who leaped over a desk and commanded him to throw up his hands. Endt nervously rubbed his lips but stared steadily at his accuser during the brief ordeal.
But when he was asked to identify Waterhouse and McKenna as the other bandits, Auman could not do so, although he testified that a second bandit had run behind the desk and poked something against his ribs. The lobby was dark, the clerk averred, and he couldn’t distinguish the features of the other two men. He further declared that Endt had no weapon in his hands, but had sharply commanded him to open the safe.
The trial opened before Judge Samuel M. Shay shortly after 10 a. m., and a panel of 24 veniremen was summoned. The prisoners were handcuffed together when they were escorted into the court room by Constable Vernon Lyons, William Gaskill and William Sawyer. However, Prosecutor Baldwin later ordered the handcuffs removed.
When the panel was called, the prosecutor asked if any of the prospective jurors knew the defendants, and there was no response. Samuel P. Orlando, defense attorney, then asked the veniremen if they had read newspaper accounts of the holdup, if they knew the complainants or had any connection with the hotel, if they were clients of the prosecutor or his aides and if they had cases or friends who had cases in the prosecutor’s office. Again there was no response, and the selection of the jury began.
All three defendants were held as material witnesses in the murder of Angelo Solury, sailor killed in the “Little Club,” a Mt. Vernon street speakeasy, June 6. Later, Albert Saunders, who was tried for Solury’s murder, named Waterhouse as the actual slayer, as did two other defense witnesses. Saunders was acquitted. [sic] and Prosecutor Baldwin, when asked if Waterhouse would be charged with the murder, announced that the case was closed.
Waterhouse has, since his arrest in the hotel holdup, been identified as the “gunman” in the holdup of a Paulsboro gasoline filling station, which occurred about six hours before the hotel robbery.
The three were arrested, arraigned in police court and indicted on the same day of the holdup. They were to have gone on trial last Monday, but the case was postponed until today on Orlando’s request.
The jury was completed in one hour at 11.20 a. m. Eight women and four men were chosen from a total of 48 veniremen. The state used 10 of its 12 preemptory challenges, while the defense used 18 of its 20 challenges. The first juror drawn, as is customary, was named forelady.
The jury follows:
Mrs. Mary L. Klein, housewife, 127 North Thirty-second street; Mrs. Mary J. Sayre, housewife, Brooklawn; John Quirk, clerk, 859 North Thirty-second street; Cecilia Cahill, saleslady, 116 North Sussex street, Gloucester; Mrs. Minnie Hines, housewife, 2729 Lincoln avenue; Mrs. Elizabeth S. Sharp, housewife, Blackwood; Russell Kleaman, mechanic, 228 Hampshire avenue, Audubon; Mrs. Nellie Powell, housewife, 613 Market street, Gloucester; George James, retired, 428 Middlesex street, Gloucester; Mrs. Ida M. Palme, housewife, 13 West Wayne terrace, Collingswood; Mrs. Mary Cantwell, housewife, 1030 North Twenty-first street; and Thomas Haggerty, mechanic, Stratford.

Four Persons Bitten by Dogs in Camden
Philadelphia Inquirer —
Three Children and Man Victims, One Canine Believed to Be Suffering From Rabies
Four persons fell victims to the fangs of dogs in Camden yesterday, in one instance it being believed the canine was suffering from rabies.
George Humphreys, aged 10 years, of 28 Morris street, was bitten on the wrist by a dog which he declares was mad. The wound was carefully treated at Cooper Hospital to prevent possible complications, although the boy had sufficient forethought to suck the wound directly after he was bitten. E. J. Gallaghan, aged 45 years, of 211 Bailey street, was bitten on the left hand while administering medicine to a pet canine, and Foreman Long, aged 11 years, of 23 Lincoln avenue, was nipped on the hand. These two were treated at Cooper Hospital.
While 10-year-old Thelma Payne, of 870 Fairview street, was running to meet her father a dog attacked her, biting her about the face and arm. She was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital.
New Collector Named
Some surprise was occasioned in Camden’s Democratic circles yesterday when it was announced that former Councilman Thomas Littlehales had been appointed a deputy internal revenue collector by Revenue Collector Iredell. When Isaac Moffett stepped out of office some months ago Mr. Littlehales’ name was mentioned as a possible successor, but George Hampton, of Bridgeton, was selected. Then there came a mixup, in which Hampton failed to get the proper confirmation and Iredell was given the plum. Mr. Littlehales is widely known throughout Camden and the appointment has given comparative satisfaction among the rank and file of the local Democracy.
Looked for Wife in Wrong Home
When a scuffling sound on the shed roof at the home of Mrs. Earl Richards, of 1012 Lawrence street, aroused her sleeping children yesterday they awakened in time to see a man climbing through the back window. Then he proceeded to light numerous matches, several of which dropped on the floor. Mrs. Richards was aroused by the cries of her children and when she found the prowler rambling about upstairs she summoned Policeman Deith, who placed the man under arrest. Before Recorder Stackhouse he gave the name of James Giberson and said he was trying to find the home of his wife, from whom he is separated. He was sentenced to a month in jail.
Mother and Daughter Burned
In the explosion of gas in a range at the home of Mrs. Rosie Ross, aged 38 years, of 354 Cherry street, she and her daughter, Helene, aged 7 years, were badly burned about the face and hands. Both were taken to Cooper Hospital. The woman was preparing a meal while her little daughter stood beside her. The range refused to ignite at the first application of the match and when another effort was made the explosion came. A blinding flash of flame enveloped mother and daughter.
Once Custodian, Now Inmate
For many years one of the custodians of the insane asylum at Blackwood, former Freeholder Patrick McNulty, of Gloucester City, was taken to that institution from Camden by Under Sheriff Newitt yesterday. McNulty, now old and feeble-minded, was committed to the asylum by Judge Boyle after being adjudged insane following the fatal shooting of his son, Thomas.
