Jersey Widens Probe
into Dealings of Judge
Who Stole $657,000
By the Associated Press
NEWARK, N. J., July 20.—State
officials began a check today of bank
accounts of prominent persons who
had dealings with former Newark
Police Judge P. James Pellecchia,
jr., admitted embezzler of -$657,000
in bank funds.
It was part of a widened investi
gation ordered by Gov. Alfred E.
Driscoll, who alerted all New Jer
sey law enforcement agencies to
join in investigation of the activities
of the good-looking, 38-year-old ex
city official.
“No one will be shielded,” Gov.
Driscoll promised. “And not the
least of our interest,” he said, “is
how it was possible for a police court
judge to gamble away that much
money and where.”
It was just a week ago today that
Pellecchia, recently named “the
! Nation’s best-dressed jurist,” was
arrested. He frankly admitted that
he had taken the funds from the
Columbus Trust Co., where he
served as vice president and counsel.
Methods Disclosed.
Pellecchia's calm disclosure of
how he created fictitious mortgages
to defraud the bank over a 2 Is -year
period caused a sensation m the
State.
A telephone tipster was responsi
ble for disclosure of the bank ir
regularities, State banking officials
announced. If Pellecchia hadn’t
confessed, they said, it would have
taken bank examiners months to
discover the extent of the swindle.
The investigation, in charge of
the Essex County prosecutor’s of
fice, was moving into high gear with
the questioning of scores of wit
nesses, business and political asso
ciates of the former judge.
The ex-judge’s admission that he
had sqaundered the money on horse
race bets led to a roundup of book
makers with whom Pellecchia said
he had placed bets.
Funds Guaranteed.
Bank depositors have been assured
that their funds are guaranteed and
the Columbus Trust Co., has been
operating in the hands of State
banking officials.
Pellecchia, meanwhile, was taking
in stride his new life in the Essex
County penitentiary, a cellmate of
numerous men he himself had sen
tenced.
His hearing for release on bail
had been postponed until next week
to give the prosecutor’s office a
chance to conduct its investigation.
Pellecchia resigned the judgeship
when he was arraigned July 13 on
20 counts of embezzlement. He
pleaded guilty as charged, facmg a
maximum sentence of 140 years on
all counts.
Pellecchia had served as police
judge in Newark since 1945. His
salary for the post was $6,000-a-year
and he earned another $3,000 as
counsel for the bank, which was
controlled by members of his fam
ily. _
