Shafroth, an enterprising Jewish mer-
chant, came rushing into Judge Ca
ble's Court with a statement that he
had been knocked down and robbed of

Polacks. Warrants were sworn out
and placed in the hands of Constables
James A. Morgan and Joel Megonigal
who went with Shafroth to the foreign
section where they located the accused
men. They in the meantime had gone
before Judge Duffy and procured war
rants for the arrest of Shafroth charg-
ing him with running a speakeasy and
of assault and battery. Constable
Horace S. Brewer and Officer Joe
Money had them in charge and when
Shafroth arrived was placed under ar
rest by Mr.. Brewer. Morgan and
McGonigal placed the Poles under ar
rest and all were taken to the Council
chamber at Penns Grove where they
were given a hearing by Judge Duffy
