Third Regiment Armory
known after 1954 as Convention Hall

This seldom-seen picture shows the Third Regiment Armory as see from the west, along the railroad tracks and "Chinese Wall" that are now Mickle Boulevard. Haddon Avenue can be seen at the rear, coming out from under the wall and passing behind the station. The rear of the train appears to have just crossed Mickle Street, which passed directly in from the Armory, which, as stated above, was renamed Convention Hall in the 1950s.

2 BROTHERS AND PAL GET ROBBERY TERMS
Implicated in Series of Gas Station Thefts; Leniency Pleas Fails

Two Camden brothers and a pal they implicated in a series of gasoline station robberies over a four month period were sentenced to prison yesterday by Judge Baldwin in Criminal Court.

Despite pleas for leniency on grounds that they are the fathers of small children, Howard Jones, 32, of 419 Haddon Avenue, and his brother, Edward, 43, of 537 York Street, were sentenced to two to five years and one and a half years, respectively.

Frederick Hammell, 33, of Linden Avenue, Woodlynne, whom they implicated in their confession to Merchantville police last December, was sentenced to four to seven years. When Hammell has finished his term in New Jersey he will be returned to Pennsylvania, where he is charged with breaking his parole,

Alertness of a Merchantville policeman, Herbert A. Davidson, Jr., and Special Officer Harry Collins, attached to the Merchantville department, resulted in the first arrest. With the aid of Police Chief William Linderman, they "broke" the bandit trio.

One of the alleged "jobs" with which the three were connected was the spectacular kidnapping of four gasoline station attendants and a. taxi driver last September 17. The attendants were robbed at gunpoint and then forced into the taxicab from which they witnessed addition al holdups.

Later more than a dozen other holdup victims identified the three as the men who held them up.

Chief Thorpe maintained that Hammell was the "brains" of the group. He declared that at least 16 holdups had been definitely linked to the three men.

It was brought out in testimony after the three entered a plea of non vult that Howard Jones is the father of a three-weeks-old baby and six other children. Edward, it was shown, is the father of three children. The wives of Edward and Howard were in court to bolster the leniency pleas.

"It was the lure of easy money that beckoned these men on," said Judge Baldwin in pronouncing sentence.

WIFE’S PAIN IN NECK WINS DIVORCE PLEA
Husband Used Her as Human Ashtray;
She Tells Court in Burning Recitals

A Camden city employee was accused yesterday, of snuffing out a cigarette by pressing it against the back of his wife's neck.

Testimony to this effect won recommendation for a divorce for Mrs. Lillian T. Joyce of 201 South Twelfth Street, Philadelphia, from Worthington W. Joyce of 507 Haddon Avenue, this city. Joyce is employed in the highway department.

Mrs. Joyce related a series of alleged cruelties at hearing before Advisory Master Linwood W. Erickson in Camden Chancery Court. The case was not contested.

The Joyces were married March 3, 1925, in an elopement to Maryland, and separated last May, 1937, she testified. They have a son, 11.

Mrs. Joyce testified she was ordered to "get out" by her husband several times and that he frequently showed violent anger.

Once, she told the court, he twisted her arm, tore open her dress and took $10 from her in the presence of a group of friends. That was at Christmas time, 1935, she testified. January 30, 1937, while returning from a ball at a hotel here, Joyce beat, her and took her purse while friends looked on, the wife said, adding that this incident took place in front of the Court House.

Mrs. Joyce showed scars on her neck to Erickson in telling of the incident when her husband snuffed out a cigarette. The wife told the court it caused her to suffer intense pain.

Four days later, last May 6, he kicked her in the stomach and pushed her down. a stairway, Mrs. Joyce testified. It was after this that she left home and went to Philadelphia to live, Mrs. Joyce said..
