Chestnut Street In 1020 "I tot off at the Pennsylvania Rail read station and found my way te Chestnut street," he said in describing bis vision, "i expected te find it a airrew oust street, like tne ones in ether cities, but instead I found a court f honor.

Baseball World Deriex, International pole and tennis times were In progress. All the lend ""L athletes of the world were there.

According te Assistant District At torney Friedman 'the- records of the firm show that 1000 cases of" liquor were sunnesed te have been shinned te the New Jersey Drug Company, of Newark.

Anether big shipment involved 300 cases of wine and 350 cases of cordials te the Atlantic Drug Company, 1120 Arctic avenue. Atlantic City.

They knocked the revolver from his hand and after a tussle bore him te the ground. One of the men held a pistol close te the watchman's head. "Keep quiet and you'll be all right," said tbe bandit. "I3ut if you don't, the fun might go off." Tbe men slowly acked ' away, keeping the watchman covered as they retreated.
