Youths receive suspended sentences--Pt Pleasant 1929
New Jersey Courier 20 Dec 1929 POINT PLEASANT YOUTHS ESCAPE REAL PUNISHMENT The Christmas spirit is in the air, and that's the time to come up for sentence in court it would seem, and further that five Point Pleasant youths found it so, being given six months suspended sentences, and fined $200 each. It had been fully predicted that these youths, who had been cutting a wide swath of lawlessness and thievery in the Point Pleasant section, were in for some real punishment. It was alleged that they had robbed summer cottages, stole a pig, shot deer out of season, and had a real Robin Hood sort of a time. The men are: William Arthur Anderson Charles L. Birdsall Melvin Elly Henry Pearce LeRoy Reeves
