Allegations of Jury tampering In the
Interests of the defendant brought a
sudden and sensational halt to the trial
of J. Moore White, a former probation
officer, for embozzlement In tho Camden
County court today. The trial was
stopped before It was fairly begun, for
not a witness had et been examined
when It was declared to the Judge that
an officer of the court had attempted to
Influence some of the Jurors In favor of
thn accused former official.
Howard Truax, Assistant County Clerk,
was Just nbout to swear the panel when
Prosecuting Attorney William J. Kraft
stood up and petitioned Judge Swack
hammer, of Gloucester City, who was
presiding, to postpone the trial He said
that from Information just brought to
him he had reason to believe that a cer
tain court officer had approached some of
tho panel and endeavored to argue them
Into giving a verdict for White.
The Judge granted the petition. The
charge la unprecedented In Camden
