As I've written elsewhere, human beings are a pretty consistent lot. This story has repeated itself since the beginning of recorded history... in fact something similar happened about eight blocks away some 15 years previously.... and probably a few other times in Camden during the intervening years... and certainly many more times since. If I hadn't told you the date, you wouldn't have known if was today, yesterday, or last week. 

Another headline from Roaring 20s Camden, a time where things, while maybe not all that different, certainly were covered in far more detail than today. Read the story, and do check out some of the hyperlinks in order to get a better understanding about who some of the players were, and of some of the places mentioned. E-mail me with comments, questions, corrections, and such.
