A 21-year-old youth, arraigned today on a murder charge growing out of a fire he admitted setting in which a fireman was killed, is a self-styled leader of a neo-Nazi movement, according to Elizabeth police.
The police said they found in the apartment of Bruce Henriksen, a quantity of Nazi literature, a Nazi flag and a photo of George Rockwell, leader of the “American Nazi party.” They said Henriksen confessed he started a fire in a hobby shop in which Fireman James M. Ford was killed. The youths told police they had been unable to recruit any other followers for their “army,” which they planned to use “to crush” Jews and other minority groups.
