Camden Morning Post —
Grand Jury to Probe Manslaughter Charge Against Oaklyn Man
Bail which had been furnished after his arrest last night, was accepted this morning for security as Thomas Atkins, 110 East Clinton avenue, Oaklyn, was held for the grand jury on a technical charge of manslaughter.
The hearing in traffic court before Judge Bertman was the aftermath of the fatal accident at Ninth street and Morgan boulevard last night.
Atkins was driver of the automobile which struck Mrs. Emma Scholl, 67 years old, 694 Tulip street. Mrs. Scholl died as she was being carried into West Jersey Hospital a few minutes later
Walter Keown appeared as counsel for Atkins. Keown said he was satisfied that the grand jury, after investigating the accident, would exonerate the defendant.
William Menhenick, 50 years old, of Parry, was fined $15 on a charge of reckless driving. He was arrested after William Lamarcus, 1827 Gallingham street, Philadelphia, said Menhenick’s car struck his auto at Eighth and Linden streets.
Arrested on complaint of Policeman William Brickner, a Public Service taxicab driver, Jubulam Gandy, 26 years old, 103 North Seventh street, was fined $10 for speeding. Brickner said he chased Gandy’s cab from Broadway and Benson to Sixth and Penn. He said Gandy exceeded the speed limit the entire distance.
Woman Fatally Hurt
Camden Morning Post —
Mrs. Emma Scholl, 67 years old, 694 Tulip street, died as she was being carried into West Jersey Hospital. She was struck by the automobile of Thomas Atkins, 110 East Clinton avenue, Oaklyn, after she had stepped from behind a Public Service bus at Ninth street and Morgan boulevard.
Atkins was arrested by Detective Howard Pike, and later released in $1,000 bail for hearing today in traffic court, on a charge of manslaughter.

Desiree Murphy, 15, of 732 Tulip Street, was struck and killed by a van driven by Bernard McDevitt in November 1981. The case generated significant community outrage.
Man free on bail in auto death
CAMDEN — A Monroe man was released on $1,500 bail yesterday after being charged with the death by auto of a Camden teen-ager Sunday night.
Bernard McDevitt, 28, was arrested at about 3 a.m. yesterday at his home at 140 Sunny Hill Drive in the Williamstown section of Monroe and charged with causing the death of Desiree Murphy, 15, of 732 Tulip St.
Murphy was crossing a street near her home in South Camden when a van drove onto the sidewalk, knocking her into the air and throwing her body about 100 feet. She died at about 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Cooper Medical Center, Camden.
Residents in the area demonstrated for about two hours yesterday morning, blocking rush-hour traffic on 9th and Fairview streets to complain about inadequate street lighting near the intersection.
Camden Detective Sgt. Albert Handy said McDevitt was arrested after police identified him as the owner of the van.
The case was transferred to the Camden County prosecutor's office because the charge must be reviewed by a grand jury. — Camden Courier-Post, November 3, 1981
Man gets 364 days in death by auto
Camden Courier-Post —
CAMDEN — A Glassboro man who struck and killed a 15-year-old girl in Camden last fall when he was trying to beat a traffic light was sentenced yesterday to 364 days in the Camden County Jail.
Bernard McDevitt, 29, of Park Crest Village Apartments, had pleaded guilty to the death by auto charge in April. Yesterday he told Superior Court Judge Leon A. Wingate that he has a terrible driving record and that as a result of a series of violations, his driver’s license has been suspended by the state Department of Motor Vehicles for 21 years.
The sentence for McDevitt complied with a plea agreement negotiated by Assistant Camden County Prosecutor Theodore Housel.
McDevitt, who had been ordered to leave a bar on Mount Ephraim Avenue 30 minutes before the November accident, fled from the scene after hitting Desiree Murphy of 732 Tulip St. as she walked on the sidewalk.
He was arrested several hours later in a bar in Gloucester City.
2 plead guilty in car deaths
Camden Courier-Post —
CAMDEN — A Glassboro man told a Superior Court judge yesterday he struck and killed a teen-age pedestrian in Camden last November because he was speeding to beat a yellow traffic light.
Bernard McDevitt, 29, of Park Crest Village Apartments, pleaded guilty to a charge of death by auto under a plea bargain that sets his maximum sentence at 364 days in the Camden County Jail.
McDevitt’s car struck 15-year-old Desiree Murphy, of 732 Tulip St., as she stepped into the street at South 9th Street.
McDevitt, who told Superior Court Judge Leon A. Wingate he has a “terrible driving record,” admitted drinking before the accident. “I was watching the light, not her,” he said.
According to Assistant Camden County Prosecutor Theodore Housel, McDevitt had been ordered to leave a bar on Mount Ephraim Avenue half an hour before the accident because he was drunk. He fled from the scene of the accident and was arrested several hours later in another bar in Gloucester City.
In another death by auto case before Wingate, a Feasterville, Pa., woman pleaded guilty to causing the death of a 63-year-old woman in a Winslow Township automobile accident the morning of Nov. 29.
Rita Felker, 35, told Wingate she fell asleep while driving at 9:45 a.m. on the White Horse Pike and collided with a car driven by Angelo Calabria of Blue Anchor Road. Calabria’s wife, Susie, died of injuries suffered in the collision.
Under terms of the plea bargain in the Felker case, she could be sentenced to up to six months in the Camden County Jail. Wingate set a June 11 sentencing date in both cases.
