Assault in Evesham, 1864
New Jersey Mirror 30 Jun 1864 A colored man John Henry, living in the Township of Evesham, committed a murderous assault upon a German woman named Elizabeth Baker, on Wednesday last, by shooting her with a double-barreled shot-gun and afterwards beating and stamping upon her. It appears that an unfriendly feeling had long existed between the parties, who were near neighbors: the woman who is represented to be of a very contentious, quarrelsome disposition, having for a long time, resorted to various petty devices to annoy and irritate the negro. On Wednesday, the latter was on his way to a neighbor's house, having in his hand a double-barreled gun, for the purpose, as he alleges, of defending himself from a vicious dog--when he encountered the woman on the road. An altercation took place between them, when Henry turned and shot the woman in the back, inflicting a dangerous wound, and then stamped upon the body. One of the woman's arms was broken and she lies in critical condit

John Dubel's drinking spree
New Jersey Courier 16 Mar 1879 John H. Dubel started for a prolonged spree at Mt. Holly on Saturday with his week's earnings. It is alleged that while he was drinking, at the bar of the hotel, his father entered and endeavored to persuade him to go home. He replied with epithets to his father, but this did not deter the latter from imploring him to stop his drinking and return hme. Dubel, at least partially intoxicated, grew angry and is said to have thrown his father aside, and, drawing his revolver, fired twice, one of the bullets inflicting a serious wound which will probably result fatally. Young Dubel was arrested and since he has grown sober is greatly distressed at his terrible act.
