ELM STREET is another of Camden's "tree" streets, running west from the foot of the Delaware River to 11th Street. It was not laid out until after 1850, as it does not appear in the City Directory published for that year. It does appear in the 1863-1864 Camden City Directory. |

of 'Cheaters' Fails to Deceive Judge's Memory
The changeable eyesight of chronic offenders doesn't fool Police Judge Gene R. Mariano one bit. Two men arrested as drunk and disorderly tried It In police court today but didn't get to first base. Instead, they got jail terms. Several weeks ago Wesley Pigwood, 44, of 2390 Farragut Avenue, received a suspended sentence. Yesterday he appeared before Judge Mariano wearing smoked glasses. "You can't fool me," Mariano said. "You were arrested three weeks ago and I gave you a chance. Now you’ll go to jail for 30 days." Henry Brownson, 58, of 926 Elm Street, tried the same trick, with reverse English. Wearing glasses, he received a suspended sentence several weeks ago. Yesterday without glasses, he was haled before the court again. Mariano recognized him and sentenced him to 15 days. |

BANDIT'S
BULLET HALTS PURSUERS A bullet whizzing past them caused several men to cease pursuit of two bandits on Elm street near Ninth Saturday night after the pair had obtained $18.75 in the holdup of a grocery store proprietor at 841 Elm Street. The victim was Herman Kalmowitz, whose store was broken into and robbed twice recently. Kacmowitz said the two youths, about 17 years old, entered and asked for candy. When he started to get it, one pointed a pistol at him and demanded that he "stick 'em up." While the one "covered" him the with the weapon, the other robbed the cash register. As they fled, Kalmowitz ran after them screaming. His alarm attracted the attention of several men passing, who started in pursuit of the bandits east on Elm street. One fired a pistol, however, and the men abandoned the chase. The youths were about five feet five, Kalmowitz said, and wore gray caps. One had a dark gray overcoat and the other's was a light gray. Detectives Joseph Carpani and Sylvester McGrath are investigating. A purse-snatching and theft of a leather bag from an automobile also were reported to police. The theft of brass and copper fittings also is under investigation with a 17-year-old youth under arrest. Anna Whiteman, 16, 1606 Pershing Street, reported that two boys, about 15, snatched her purse containing $1 while she walked with a companion, Ada Hans, 16, of 1342 Lansdowne Avenue, on Lansdowne near Norris Street. She pursued the boys but was compelled to give up the chase when she slipped and fell. A black leather bag was stolen from the car of Frank Grotaski, of Cape May, parked Saturday night at Fifth and Arch Streets. The door of the car was forced open. The empty bag, minus clothes and letters it had contained, was found later by two boys in an alley on South Sixth street, near Stevens. At liberty, under $500 bail, George Dotterer, 17, of 928 North Twenty-fourth street, is charged with larceny, although the brass and copper fittings he is suspected of stealing have not been identified as to ownership. Dotterer was arrested by Patrolman Herbert Bott when the youth asked for aid in recovery of the fittings from a junk man to whom he had "sold" the goods. He said the man, George Elliott, of Twenty-fourth and Pierce avenue, kept the fittings and refused to pay him. Bott presumed after examining the fittings "they could not have been picked up as junk" and arrested the youth in the belief they had been stolen from the Pavonia railroad shops. Detective Sergeant Joseph Tully declared the fittings had not been stolen from the shops. The boy is to face Police Judge Garfield Pancoast this morning. |
