- WANTED $16; SAYS HE WAS ASSAULTED. Henry Shapiro Claims he Went to Collect Bill and Received Abuse Instead. Henry Shapiro, a dry goods mer- chant at Smith and Oak street, this morning in the police court, swore out a complaint against Joseph Walenspiel, in which he charges the latter with assault and battery. According to Shapiro, Lie secured an order for $16 worth of goods from Mrs. Waltenspiel, who lives on the road between Woodbridge and Rahway. This was on Thursday and on Friday Shapiro went, as he declares, to collect the $16 from Mr. Waltenspiel. The men had an altercation over the payment of the bill and finally, Shapiro further alleges, Waltenspiel struck him several times in the back. A warrant for Waltenspiel was put in detective Peltier’s hands and he is expected to have his man in custody before tomorrow morning.
