Booze Arrests Here
Lorentz Rossi, twenty-five. of 26S
Washington street, and Walter Yenk,
twenty-seven, of 297 Washington
street, were held without bail this
morning by Recorder Harold E. Pic
kersgill, to await the action of the
federal authorities, on a charge of
violating the Volstead act. Chief of
Police Niels j. Tonnesen notified
Prohibition Enforcement Officer
Demos Office in Newark. immedi-
ately after the men were ordered
held.
Rossi was arrested on Thursday by
Lieutenant detective Joseph Gut
owski and Michael Muska, after 1t
was found that he had in his posses
sion sixteen full bottles and partly
filled bottle containing Cognac bran
dy. This information was secured
when the officers made search of
Rossi's place, and be claimed that he
purchased the liquor from some
party, but did not know who the
seller was. He was released in ST.
600 ba< on Thursday night pending
hearing. and this morning was
again taken into custody and held
to await the action of the federal
authorities
Walter Yenk. according to United
State Commissioner John A. Della
ney, is being held pending decis-
ion as to whether or not the federal
authorities will make a complaint
against him.
Yenk was taken into custody last
night by officers Gutowski and Mus
ka, and after a drilling, admitted
having taken the liquor with Rosie,
in suitcases into the Rossie store.
Yenk, however, claims that he had
the liquor in his cellar for more
than a month, which offsets the be-
lief of the police that the loot found
in Rossis possession was part of
that taken from Jacob sGreenspan
on last Saturday night. Yenk, it is
said, told the police that he secured
the liquor sometime ago. from a
party in a restaurant in this city.
The charge against Rossi, was or
iginally one of receiving stolen
goods, but it has been changed to a
violation of the Volstead act, trans
porting liquor without permit. A
similar charge has also been lodged
against Yenk. 1t. is believed that
Rossi purchased the liquor for the
purpose of selling it on a retail basis.
Rossi is connected with an Italian
grocery store on Washington street.

A. Delaney on Thursday issued a
warrant for the arrest of Edward
