client in their decision after hearing
the testimony to be introduced. Law
yer Sooy, representing Surman and
Jaffe, was now entitled to address the
Jury and he did this saying that what
Lloyd had said about Jacobs held true
for his clients as well, and he hoped
that after hearing the evidence Nhe
jury would give a verdict of not guilty
for these two men as well. \
Sam Surman was now called to the
stand and told his story. He stated
that he had come to wildwood about
July 5th and had taken a room on the
ground floor of Edgeton Hotel along
with Simon Jaffe. He said he spent
his days on the beach and his nights
in the cabarets (most of the time pick
ing the Royal Garden in Anglesea).
On the evening of August I'd he vas
at the Royal with Willie Jacobs and
took the last car back to Oak and At
lantic from which they walked to the
Superior where they had a light
lunch. Later they were Joined by
Jaffe and the three went to the room
in Edgeton Hotel where they played
pinochle until $50 in the morning.
(He testified that on coming out of the
restaurant he had seen Darby and
Conley in Gonley's car outside the
restaurant). At this hour the three
then went back to the restaurant for a
cup of coffee and after being there
about half an hour they then returned
to the rooms with Willie running on
ahead of them. Upon reaching the
rooms they found Willie, Mary Bracken
and the cabaret singer called Buster"
in the rooms. A few minutes later, he
stated, Arnold and Darby came in.
Cross-examination by Solan followed
Sooy's last question in which he asked
Surman if he had ever known of or
had anything to do with the breaking
and entering of the Rosetta Shop, or
of sharing in the returns of this affair.
hi answer was no. In the cross-ex-
animation by Solan he stated that he
had worked for nine months prior to
his summer in Wildwood, but that he
had had no occupation while here.
He said his room in Edgeton Hotel
had two beds and a cot in it and that
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1923-01-12

Arnold, Willie and the others some
times stopped there for the night.
When asked as to why the night of
August I'd stood out so clearly in his
memory he said that this was the
first day he had worn his straw hat
in Wildwood during the summer
When asked why he recalled its being
$50 when he and the other two went
into the restaurant the second time
that night, he said he had seen officer
Mike Sheehan in there and had asked
the time. Solan now asked him how
many cups of coffee he was in the
habit Of drinking at night and he
said from one to four cups every night.
When Solan asked him why Willie
ran ahead of the others on returning
to the rooms, he said, I'VE excused
him because he often did such things"
He was then asked who came in the
room after he returned and he said that
Arnold and Darby had been there, but
that he was not sure about Miller.
He dozed off to sleep with Willie,
Jaffe, Buster, Mary Bracken, Arnold
and Darby all in the room. He then
said he had not been on the boardwalk
late that night, but that he had since
talked the case over with Willie and
Jaffe.
Simon Jaffe was now called to the
stand and told Of being at the Ruric
Cafe during the evening with Mary
Bracken and Arnold and that he had
left them at this place about 1890.
going to the Superior where he met
Willie and Surman. He then reiter-
ated the story told by Surman exactly
as to time of their movements. He
then said he, too, went to sleep after
the entrance of Darby and Arnold
into the rooms, and when asked said
he was not implicated in the robbery
in any way. Cross-examination fol-
lowed in which he told of leading a
regular life of ease without any atten-
ton to time from the 9Th of July until
a day or two prior to Labor Day.
When asked how he recalled being at
the Ruric on the night of the I'd he
said it was clear in his mind for it
was his first visit to this cabaret, al
though he lived but one square away

ance in the court rooms in this county.
On Wednesday she presented a pleas
ing appearance in a stylish dark dress
and hat to match. She testified of hav-
ing met a girl called Buster" in the
Royal Gardens on the night preceding
the robbery. This girl had been
drinking and begged Mary Bracken
to take her to Miller's rooms. The
witness testified that she got q taxi
to take her to these rooms and waited
there with her until Miller's return.
This was in the early hours of the
morning when several of the crowd
came in together in an excited state.
When she questioned them as to what
was the matter, she stated that w.
Jacobs (who is known in the circle
as Little Willie') had said they were
running to get out of the rain. She
stated that Willie's collar was turned
up and that all the mems clothes were
damp. The next day she stated she
got Arnold out alone and questioned
him as to what a remark he had made
the previous night lin which he said
mo one knows where they are ex-
cept Darby") meant. The reply she
received was to the effect that Arnold
had meant some faulty wires on "The
Hooks" (Amen Jacob's) car. AS she
had believed the boys had been re-
pairing this car the previous night
she thought nothing more of it. She
then told of meeting 1.-THE Hook"
Little Willie" and Arnold on Satur-
day night in the cigar store and of
meeting Frey and then of going with
these three on Sunday afternoon to
Frey's home where, after an hour and
a half, Frey came in and 1.-THE Hook"
and Little Willie" drove back into
town, leaving her talking with Mrs.
Frey and Arnold in another room with
Frey. She stated that Arnold had told
her he was selling Frey some signs
he had painted for the Yacht Club and
that she had seen a bundle in the car
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1923-01-12

which he said were these signs. She
said 1.-THE Hook" and Little Willie"
later came to her rooms in the hotel
and that there the matter ended as far
as she knew.
The clock now said almost 4.3O and
as many of the witnesses were from
Philadelphia with intentions of catch
ing a train back to that city that
evening, Judge Eldredge adjourned the
court until Thursday morning.
Thursday morning, January 18th,
the Rosetta trial continued and the
Jury was called to the box, after
which Prosecutor Solan asked that a
plea of nolle pros be granted IN the
ease of Amen Jacobs. Jacobs lawyer
Llovd. asked that this plea come di-
rect from the jury and the court so
directed. Judge Eldredge 10 turned
tn the Jury and told them that mas
much as the only evidence put forth
so far against Amen Jacobs was that
he had ridden in a car with some OF
the others he advised the jury 10 pre-
sent an acquittal in his behalf. The
state now rested their case and the
defense were given their turn in pre-
sentil,g witnesses. Prior to the first
witness Lawyer Lloyd addressed the
Jury in behalf of his client, Wine
Jacobs, saying that Jacobs knew noun
ing of the robbery, was in Anglesea
the greater part of the evening, then
went to a restaurant where he met
Jaffe and Surman and spent the bal
ance of the night with them in Sur
mans room playing cards. He stated
thai no check on Jacobs movements
on that night had been made until some
weeks later, and in this respect ne
asked that the jury use their W
Judgment in accepting the story OF
these actions on this night. AS
Jacobs had not been connected with
the robbery, knew nothing of it and
did not share in the spoils, he asked
the Jury to give an acquittal for his
