Hold Up on Riverside Road Stuns Burlington County
Four men and a woman hijack a touring car on a Riverside road, robbing three men and a woman of 32 dollars and a gold watch before slashing a tire and fleeing. Police, distracted by nearby headlines, fail to obtain names or vehicle number as detectives pursue leads. The incident follows the Jefferson murder and a Burlington iron worker Zwehelen’s hold up, with similarities noted to the prior case. A separate shooting near Kinkora Creek leaves Richard Creeks shot while in custody. Florence Nightingale is decorated in London with the Order of Merit, the first woman honored.
