This Day in History: 1958-08-21

A letter from Bergen County Prosecutor Guy W. Calissi praising the work of Mahwah Police Captain Edmund Wickham was read at the Township Committee meeting. Wickham was praised for his quick identification of a suspect who had robbed the Colonial Esso station on Route 17. This assisted the River Edge police in apprehending and indicting the same man for the murder of a service station owner in their community. (Bristow)
