Woman and Children Try To Buy Drugs In Princeton
A Friday night incident in Princeton saw a woman and two children, a 13 year old girl and a nine year old boy, caught attempting to purchase narcotics. They admitted drug addiction and walked away toward the north Sunday morning after learning the morning train would not stop. Two unrelated men, Smith VanSaffen from Cincinnati and a Belleville, Pennsylvania man known only as Little, were arrested for suspicious conduct earlier or on Saturday. VanSaffen, a piano tuner, was detained at a traction station and later his Cincinnati brother sent funds. Little, claiming Moose Lodge membership, wandered Princeton and wired his father for help after awakening Saturday. A strange, drug-related case followed.
