Warnock Place is a small court where homes once stood, running west from South 8th Street between Sycamore Street and Kaighn Avenue. It was named after Dr. William Warnock, a physician who lived and practiced medicine at 751 Kaighn Avenue. Dr. Warnock was born in Burlington in 1858, graduated from medical school in 1880, and established a practice in Camden in 1883. He was affiliated with the Camden City Dispensary, and was appointed physician for the Fifth and Sixth Wards in 1886. Sadly, Dr. Warnock died of pulmonary tuberculosis in Burlington on February 1, 1889. Warnock Place first appears in City Directories in 1890 and on Sanborn Maps in 1891. The little street had ten brick row homes, five on each side, and a fire hydrant at the west end of the street.
In an encounter with an intruder whom he found in the kitchen of his home early yesterday morning, Julius Spiegelhauser, a German, 50 years old, of 1417 South Tenth street, Camden, was probably fatally shot. A bullet from the revolver of the robber penetrated the abdomen of Spiegelhauser. The victim is in the Cooper Hospital.
Within an hour after the shooting Charles Cleaver, a negro, 35 years old, of Warnock place, was arrested as he was about to cross the Kaighn’s Point ferry, and subsequently the wounded man positively identified him as his assailant.
