the death of George Akins
A WIFE OUTRAGED--THE PERPETRATOR SHOT DEAD BY THE HUSBAND.-- We announced in our last paper, that an attempt had been made by George Akins, Jr., to commit an outrage upon the person of a Mrs. Conover, wife of John H. Conover, living near the Red Lion, but that he failed to accomplish his purpose, owing to the cries and resistance of Mrs. C. We have since learned that he fully succeed in his infamous designs--and a few days afterwards he was shot dead by the husband, while about to enter his house again. The particulars of this dreadful affair, as we have learned them, are as follows: Akins went to the house of Conover, on Sunday morning, the 5th instant(August, 1860), soon after 8 o'clock--nobody being at home or near the premises, but Mrs. C. and her two children--Conover having gone to visit a neighbor. It is supposed that Akins had been watching Conover's movements, and seeing him leave the house, went immediately over. Soon after going in, he seized hold of Mrs. C., who

Saturday nights they would take their violins and accordions and go to the hotel in West Creek village, and make music for the hangers on there.

Holman, who at that time was running Stafford Forge bogs, started up the road, with Iron Cranmer, his sons, Will and B
Horrific murder in Brick, 1981 (Richard Biegenwald)
Philadelphia Inquirer Apr 2 1983 Officials yesterday identified the dismembered body of one of the two teenage girls found Tuesday in a shallow grave at a Staten Island home, and they said they would seek a murder indictment against the son of the woman who lived there. Monmouth County Prosecutor Alexander Lehrer identified the girl as Maria Ciallella, of Brick Township, Ocean County , who was 17 when she disappeared on Halloween night in 1981. Lehrer said he would seek a murder indictment in the case against Richard Biegenwald, who also is being held in the August slaying of Anna Olesiewicz, 18, of Camden. Lehrer said at a news conference here yesterday that Miss Ciallella had been shot twice in the head before being dismembered and buried in three green plastic trash bags in the yard of the home belonging to Biegenwald's mother, Sally Biegenwald. "There is no motive in this senseless killing, in my opinion," Lehrer said at the news conference, "other than the o
Giuseppe Merchurio trial, 1908
New Jersey Mirror 11 Mar 1908 Felice Ronca, royal consular agent at Trenton, conveyed information to Prosecutor Atkinson on Thursday of the arrest of Antonio Schiavo, in Italy, wanted for the murder of Guiseppe Merchurio, at the cranberry bogs of Rider & Wilkinson, at Hampton Gate, near Atsion, on October 29, last. He also advised the State's Attorney that as soon as all the testimony in the case has been taken and forwarded to the proper officials in Italy the prisoner will be tried there, and executed if found guilty, just as though the crime had been committed in that country. Prosecutor Atkinson is not yet sure that this form of trial proceedings will be satisfactory to him, and before taking any action toward forwarding testimony he will consult higher authorities to remove all doubt in his mind as to his rights in the matter. The crime for which Schiavo has been arrested occurred while he and Merchurio were out together gunning. The victim always carried at least $200

New Jersey Mirror 9 Mar 1939 John Dudley, colored, 18, of 140 Edgecomb avenue, New York, was arrested at the home of his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Meyers, in Palmyra, early on Saturday, charged with murder of Raphael Solomon, an investigator for the New York Department of Welfare, who was shot on February 15 and died in a Harlem Hospital on February 21. Dudley, who was arrested by Palmyra police and state troopers at about one o'clock on Saturday morning, was returned to New York, after a hearing before Mayor John F. Ward, of Palmyra. Two other colored youths, Robert Robinson and James Parker, under arrest in New York, implicated Dudley in the crime. Solomon was shot in the neck after he was held up and his wallet, containing $65, was stolen. He is under indictment there for a series of robberies of rent collectors, police said, and Solomon was mistaken for a collector. Dudley admitted taking part in Solomon's holdup at his hearing in Palmyra, but denied committing the actual mu

from the New Jersey Mirror Mar 4 1908 Angered at his wife because she refused to leave her parents and go home with him to Atco, this State, Jacob Kobler shot and instantly killed her on Thursday afternoon at her parents' home, on Kensington avenue(number not stated), Philadelphia, and during the struggle which followed, shot and wounded Rudolph A. Ferber and Elizabeth Ferber, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then made a bluff at committing suicide by shooting himself in the head. He then jumped out of a second-story window and tried to make his escape across the fields to a small creek into which he plunged. The icy water soon chilled his heated blood and he crawled back and surrendered to his pursuers.
