Arrest Pair That
Robbed CIothier

John Notsky and Clifford LaMotte
alleged burglars who later confessed
entering the store of John r. Allaire,
Christmas night and made a success
full raid escape with miscellaneous
merchandise valued at $400, that in
cluded overcoats, sweaters, underwear
watches. ieweiry and other goods were
apprehended Friday.
Both men aged between 20 and 30
years, have resided and worked at
Allaire and other places near here dur
ing the greater part of two years and
they were not suspected of completely
at any time since the robbery until
the day of their arrest.
Information leading to their capture
came from an unexpected source, Alex
alder AdaIncyt Pole. employed by
IRA Megill as a blacksmith, since about
two months ago impaired information
that led to the arrest of Notsky who
is also a Pole and LaMotte who form
erly lived in Railway.
Adamcyt leased house after he be-
gan working at Farmingdale located, a
mile south Of the boro on the Lakewood
road. He is a widowe and his five
small children are living elsewhere
wages for their support.
Friday night after going to his home
Adamcyt attempted to make a fire in
his stove to prepare supper when La
Motto who had spent the day in Lake
wood entered the house Adanfcyt pre-
tended he could not start the fire and
asked La Motto to make an effort to
light it and told the latter that he
would go for dry kindling. The ruse
enabled him to seize his bicycle and
ride to Farmingdale informing Allaire
that La Motto was again at his home.
Allaire wasin his car and picking up
Constable Jonathan G. Alderman re-
turned to Adamcyt's home where La
Motto was placed under arrest. He
protested against arrest asserting that
he was innocent and declared that he
was not in this vicinity the night of
the burglary.
He was soon placed in Allaire's
car and taken to Freehold where La
Motto was also Imprisoned.
The robbers gaindA access to the
store thru a second story window,
using a crude ladder made Of birch
poles which they had undoubtedly
carried mile from Adamcyt's place
Rs the ldbO6T luSutlilcQ UllS iesl0OA 40
one he had seen near his house. After
the robbery the men left the ladder at
Allaire's barn short distance from
his store.
Notsky and La Motto were once
inmates OF the state reform school at
Jamesburg and the latter it is alleged
served time in the Railway reformatory.
La Motto has but one arm but when
employed he has the reputation Of
being industrious and giving good
service.
A considerable quantity Of the goods
was recovered in Adamcyt's house after
La Motto was apprehendsd. The
merchand Sc was hidden in several
receptacles various places in the
room occupied by La Motto.
Adancyt was elated after the arrest
as he believed that the men were plotting
to rob and perhaps do him bodily
harm as a smoothing iron, wrapped in
a burlap bag was found.

REV. GEORGE KEITH, FOUNDER OF
FREEHOLD.
KEITH LINE BETWEEN EAST AND
WEST JERSEY.

Had Surveyor General Keith In 1857
continued his survey IN a straight line
to the Delaware River he would have
come out on the river at Walpack Fer
ry, or opposite to where the BushkilI
Creek enters the Della ware on the
Pennsylvania side, in which case
West Jersey would have contained
SO, $50 acres less than East Jersey or
26, 945 acres, less than half the Prov
lnce.
The Coke Barclay agreement en-
deavored to obyiate this difficulty. but
the Keith line as run to the south
branch OF the Raritan, with the Coke
Barclay irregular extension of it to the
partition point on Hudson River be-
tween East Jersey and New York, was
not at all satisfactory to the East Jer-
sey Proprietors as 1t gave West Jersey
altogether TOO much land and it is no
wonder il never went into effect A
temporary arrangement, therefore was
made, which obtained until 1743, when
the so-called Lawrence line was run by
John Lawrence, of the Capt. Lawrence
Don't give up the ship" stock, which
line extended from Little Egg Harbor
on the coast to point near Digman 8
on the Delaware and has since been
established or determined by our
Courts as the legal division between
East and West Jersey,-it being very
early the same as the old Quintipar-
tie line, or that delineated in the origi-
tnal Quintipartite Deed.
A good map of the partition line be-
tween East and West Jersey is found
in the 'Bi-CentenniaI Celebration of
the Board Of American Proprietors of
East Jersey at Perth Amboy, Noyem-
Der %, 1884.
