FRANKLIN TWP. — A Monroe Township man was being sought in connection with the gunshot wounding of a 34-year-old Franklin-ville man outside the vic-tim’s Eagle Lane residence, Gloucester County Pros-ecutor Sean F. Dalton said Friday.

Robert A. Bell, 38, of 1056 S. Black Horse Pike, Wil-

liamstown, fled the s h o o t i n g scene about 9:30 p.m. T h u r s d a y as a passen-ger in a car that police stopped a short dis-

tance away, a spokesman for Dalton said. Bell then fled the car into a wooded area. The car was driven by a sister of the shooting vic-tim, authorities said.

Despite an intensive search, Bell had not been found as of late Friday. He may still have the hand-gun used in the shooting, spokesman Bernie Weisen-feld said.

Charges signed against Bell include attempted murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful posses-sion of a weapon, possession of a weapon by a felon and aggravated assault. Bail was set by Superior Court Judge Walter L. Marshall Jr. at $200,000 cash.

The 38-year-old victim had been fighting with the suspect, allegedly over a woman, until others sepa-

SWEDESBORO — Swedesboro officials have big plans for the Swedesboro Auction property, a three-acre tract of land on Leahy Avenue that was incorporated into the county’s open space plan this week.

“We are only three-quarters of a square mile, but we are rich in his-tory,” said Diane Hale, a Swedes-boro councilwoman.

Until the mid 1990s, area farm-ers would bring their produce to the Swedesboro market to be sold. Campbell’s Soup Co. was known to make its tomato soup with toma-toes grown at borough farms.

To preserve the history, the coun-ty chipped in about $255,000 to the borough’s $85,000 to purchase the land from Swedesboro Auction, Inc. The Gloucester County Free-holders voted to authorize the pay-ment and will incorporate the land into the Open Space Preservation Program.

When the property settlement is complete, the borough will own it,

Calling the conduct of two State Police troopers “egregious” and “reckless,” Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa said Friday they face criminal charges and a pos-sible prison term after serving as an escort for a high-speed cara-van of exotic cars down the Gar-den State Parkway in March.

“We will not tolerate officers who endanger the public they are sworn to protect,” Chiesa said at a news conference in Trenton with the State Police superinten-dent, Col. Rick Fuentes. “What they did was absolutely wrong. We cannot let the actions of a few troopers undermine the entire force.”

Chiesa said five other troopers face administrative charges, four for a similar caravan in 2010 and one for mishandling a speeding ticket.

Fuentes also unveiled a new policy governing State Police escorts that is intended to more sharply define accountability for troopers involved in such events, sets forth a clear chain of com-mand for approvals and ensures

LONDON — They rolled out dancing nurses and smokestacks, poked fun at their weather and gave us Mr. Bean. Amid green and pleasant pastures, they read from the storybook that is Britain, not just Shakespeare but Peter Pan and Harry Potter. And if the Opening Ceremonies of the London Games sometimes seemed like the world’s big-gest inside joke, the mes-sage from Britain resonated loud and clear: We may not always be your cup of tea, (See OLYMPICS, Page A-5)
