DOWNTOWN MAN AMUCK WITH GUN
Joseph PENNOCHION, 24, of 105 Fulton street, was scheduled for a hearing in
Adams street court today on charges of felonious assault and violation of the
Sullivan Law, brought by his father, Richard.
Yesterday, according to what police were told, young PENNOCHION tried to
shoot his father, mother and brother with a .25 calibre revolver. His father
grappled with him and finally, aided by the other two, wrested the gun away
from the boy. Detective O'HAGAN took him into custody.
NEWLY-BORN BABY ABANDONED BY GIRL IN HEIGHTS HOTEL
Police Seek Comely Blonde Registered from Connecticut
Detectives of the Poplar street station are looking for an attractive blond
young woman, who rented a room in the St. George Hotel yesterday, gave birth
to a healthy eight-pound baby girl and left surreptitiously some time
afterwards, leaving the baby.
The young woman, who appeared to be about 21 or 22 and was well dressed,
registered at 8 A. M. as miss B. WILSON of Connecticut. She was offered a
room on the third or fourth floor, but asked to have one on the second
instead. She was assigned to room 248.
After she had been upstairs a short while the clerk noticed that she had only
given her State and not her town, as the law requires. He called her up and
she promised to stop on her way to church and rectify the omission. She
failed to do so, and the clerk forgot about it. In the evening a new clerk
discovered that the omission had not been corrected, and he, too phoned the
room.
Receiving no answer, he sent two maids, Jean METHLIN and Martha WILLIAMSC,(as
written), to investigate. They entered with a pass key and found the baby
alone.
Detectives John CORCORAN and John O'HAGAN of the Poplar street station were
assigned to the case and the baby was taken to the foundling ward at Kings
County Hospital.
