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.
