fairly considered.
Court Affairs.
| At Thursdays session of court, a
number of criminal cases were con-
sidered.
Charles B. Lynch, of Pemberton
township, pleaded guilty to charges Of
breaking and entering the house Of
Jacob Giberson, his neighbor, and
stealing gun, horse blanket, three
razors, etc.
When called upon to make state
ment about the affair, Lynch claimed
that he did not steal the goods, but
took them for safe keeping. Griscom
had been away for some weeks, and
Lynch alleged that the Griscom house
had been entered and possibly robbed.
He then decided to take the other ar
ticles TO prevent their being stolen.
All the missing articles were returned
to the owner
Judge Lippincott placed the defend
ant in charge of the probation officer
for three years, and gave the young
man one week in which to pay the
costs of prosecution, amounting to
s24.SS.
William Westcott, of Chester town
ship, pleaded non vult contendere to
charges of desertion and neglect Of
family. He left home on December
26. 1914, and took a train for Fairfax
county, Virginia, in company with
another woman, where they lived to-
gether as man and wife until the time
of his arrest last month.
He left his family of wife and five
children in destitute circumstances.
During his absence he sent them no
money nor made any provision for
their support
When Westcott went away he took
with him about $3.50 in cash. He was
in debt about $500 or $500 at that time.
His personal property was sold at
sheriff's sale to pay these debts. His
creditors got about IS cents on the
dollar.
His family is partly supported by
charity and partly by money earned
by the wife doing washing.
Sentence was deferred until next
Thursday.
Ernesto Moreno, Augustine Dellapie |
and Michael Negro, who had been ar
rested for attempted enlightenment OF
$500 were discharged for the reason that
the crime took place in Pennsylvania,
beyond the jurisdiction of this court.
William Evans, colored, of Beverly,
pleaded guilty to receiving stolen
goods, consisting of about 60 pounds Of
German silver that had been taken
from the keystone Watch Case Com
pany's factory at Riverside. The de-
fendant was arrested at the Camden
ferry, as he was about to take boat
for Philadelphia. He had the stolen
metal in valise when he was arrested.
The metal is valued at 40 cents per
pound. Sentence will be imposed
next Thursday.
Thomas Smith, a hobo, entered q
plea of guilty to assault and battery on
Harry Perkins. The two men were
L ~
taking nights rest in the Mount
Holly lookup. They got into an alter
cation as TO whether the fire in the
stove needed ralxing. Smith said he did
not strike Perkins, but merely pushed
him aside.
AS the man had been in Jail for "a
days, awaiting trial, the court dis
charged the prisoner.
