Cabby Receives
W
Fortune by Talking
EAST ORANGE, N. J., Dec. 10
—A taxi driver, John Brophy, 40
year-old veteran, who talked
about sports for years because he
liked to, today had a life income
from a fifty-thousand dollar fund
because his fare liked these con
versations too.
Brophy had a regular customer,
Carl Rupprecht, DuPont executive
who enjoyed the cabby’s recollec
tions of football, baseball and
prizefights over the past twenty
years.
Rupprecht sometimes told Bro
i phy, on their twice daily trips to
the Lackawanna station, that he
was glad to get away from talks
about business.
Brophy went into the army and
when he came out Rupprecht again
became a regular customer. Rup
precht died last September and
Wednesday Brophy learned that
his former customer had left a
life income from fifty thousand
dollars to “my friend John Bro
phy.”
