TRAPPED, WEBER
ADMITS CRIME
Clever Work of Detectives
Leads to Arrest In South
Brunswick Township
staff Correspondent.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. e.
John Weber, of South Brunswick
township, was taken in custody yes
terday on the complaint of Chief of
the County Detectives Richard Pei
tier charged with robbing the home
OF Leonard Waynicz of Deans. About
$500 worth of jewelry, liberty bonds
and cash were stolen. This happen
ed on June % and at a time when a
series of robberies were occurring
aroun the county. Detective Peltier
at hat time consulted Prosecutor
Stricken and it was decided to place
an outside detective on the case.
Fred A. David was put in charge of
the investigation and was assisted by
County Detectives Sweikert and Fitz-
patrick. A prominent man of mat
locality, was trailed by these men for
three weeks and was then arrested
as a suspect on July IA. This man
gave his name as Weber.
After talking with him in the
Prosecutors Office Weber was lead
to believe he was no longer suspect
ed. The idea being hat If he thought
he was not under suspicion he would
attempt to dispose of the articles
stolen. Mr.. David learned that the
United States gold notes of $40 and
$40 denominations, of which the
money stolen, was a part called in by
the government, and practically all
the money of This type was in the
Federal Reserve Bank at New York.
Mr.. David later ascertained that We
Der paid, on July 18th, for a Delco
light system, sos in gold certificates
and asking the Delco salesman to
keep quiet about the money. The
reason for this secrecy, Weber stated,
was that he had been saving 1t from
time to. time and a not wanted his
wife of know of it.
He also informed the officers the
rings and jewelry had been pawned.
These were later gotten from the
pawnshop by Detective David. Weber
told where the Liberty Bonds had
been sold.
At the time this robbery occurred
the house had many people in it and
workmen were making repairs on it.
Weber was a painter there and was
raced by his rubber. heel marks
which were found outside of the
premises, up the back stairs and in
the rooms on the second floor and
also on the roof.
Weber and the Delco salesman in
a restaurant in New Brunswick,
rendered. in payment for the meals. a
$40 gold certificate. The detective
latter discovered where the Liberty
was disposed of and also learn
that lumber had been purchased by
Weber, who also paid for that in
gold certificates. When brought to
the Prosecutors Office yesterday he
denied the accusation. Later when
to Jail by Detevtive Sweikert he
asked to be brought back to the
Prosecutors office where he made a
written confession of stealing all the
articles.
