     Walter was was involved in a clamming dispute. This newspaper article accuses four men of digging clams in a 'Leased' area of Jamacia Bay. The leased area belonged to Walter. [:HTML:]
The Right To Certain Beds Under the Waters of Jamaica Bay.
The clam and oyster diggers who make a living about Jamaica Bay are at present engaged in a dispute as to the ownership or certain bivalves that lay sleeping underneath the placid waters of that arm of the sea. There is a certain subdivision numbered eight of section 640 or the penal code, which Is to the effect that all waters belong to the state, and that if an individual rents a portion of the land underneath the waters and plants thereon oysters and clams, such planting and the fruits thereof shall be the property or the planter to have and to hold or to dispose of as he sees proper.
Walter C. Denton, who gives his residence as East Ninety-third street and Avenue K, Canarsie, claims that he has complied with the law in leasing certain ground under water and adjacent to the shores of Jamaica Bay where he has planted oysters and other shell fish and that, as a consequence, the oyster beds are of his possession. He also claims that, on information received from George Blake 24 years old, a driver, living at East Ninety-second street and Avenue K, and Frank Tompkins, 21 years old, same business and address. Edward Van Houton, Abram Vooris, James Hall and William Ryder went to his oyster beds and took therefrom some of his property.
The matter will be brought to the attention of Magistrate Steers in the Grand street police court yesterday on summonses issued at the request of Denton. The four summoned oyster diggers told the magistrate that while they had been at the oyster beds mentioned, those beds had never been leased by Denton or planted by him and therefore were public property. The magistrate decided that in the dispute there was a question of crime, so he had the summons changed to a complaint and warrants issued for the defendants, which were served on Lemon.
