Death Ends Profitable
Panhandling Partnership
NEW YORK. May 9. — (JP)— A
long and once-profitable panhandl
ing partnership between two elder
ly Bovrery characters, known in
many an Eastside dive as “Good
Times Fred and Ed,” was at an
end today — dissolved, police said,
when Fred pushed Ed in front of
s subway train, to his death.
A postwar business slump caus
ed it. police said.
Fred — 62-year-old Fred Dave
Connors, who had a glass eye and
posed as a blind man while sell
ing pencils — was held on a homi
cide charge in the death of his
partner, Edward Trudeau, 60,
whose business duties had consist
ed ol ''leading'' Connors around to
all the likely places.
Police said Connors told them
the pair had made as much as $20
to .$25 a day during the wartime
boom — and liberally shared their
prosperity with the boys in the
Bowery bars — but that business
had been terrible of late, which
made Trudeau cranky and suspic
ious.
Argument Starts
After a hard day’s “work” yes
terday, he said, the pair had netted
only $6. Then, as they stood on a
subv.av platform last night await
ing a train, they got to arguing
over division of the S6.
Connors got so angry, police said,
he pushed his partner in front of
an oncoming train — and threw his
tin cup, pencils and cane after
Trudeau. He was arrested a short
time later.
Connoi s said the partnership was
formed five years ago. They met
in a Bowery saloon and decided
that, since both were too old for
tear work, they'd cash in on some
of the easy money flowing around.
_They put their work on a high
professional plane, he said, by
working out scientifically the best
areas and spots for pulling their
panhandling act. They kept a rec
ord book for guidance. Police said
they were among the slickest in
the business.
Expresses Sorrow
As Connors sat pondering it all
today, police said, he told them
simply that'“I lost my head. Al
though he was my best pal I push
ed him in front of the train.”
“I’m sorry,” he said.
DROUGHT THREATENS
STRAWBERRY YIELDS
_ !
Special To The Star
CHADBOURN, May 9—Smaller
loads of strawberries are appear
ing on the local markets it was
noted here today. The reasons ad
vanced by experienced berry ■
farmers is prolonged draught.
Many growers in this section
predict that the season will end
next week, unless rain falls by
Sunday. Most of the plants are
drying up in the dry weather.
The infestation of red spiders
are playing havoc with the plants,
several farmers reported.
Approximately 1,000 crates of
Klondyke berries were sold on
the Chadbourn auction market to
day. The prices ranged from $9.50
to $12 with a few crates going
for $13.50.
The prices are expected to re
main good due to the scarcity of
the fruit.
The Allies were cut off from the
sources of almost 95 percent of
their rubber supply when Singa
pore fell in 1942.
