STOLE SAVINGS [
OF LIFETIME
Thieves Make Comp'ete Cleanup
in Office of Aged New
York Sexton.
GOT UP FIRE ESCAPE
Bold Robbery, Which Leaves Old
Gentleman Practically Penniless,
Committed With Police Officer
Less Than a Block Away.
New York.—When Thomas Brown,
the aged sexton at St. Agnes’ chapel of
Trinity parish, at No. 121 West Nine
ty-first street, entered his office he dis
covered that $7,000 In cash and Liberty •
bonds, representing his savings of
more than fifty years, had been stolen
from the safe.
Brown has been sexton of St. Agnes’
chapel since it was built, 27 years ago.
For 15 ,venrs previously he had been a
sexton at old Trinity.
Office Found in Chaos.
Papers were strewn about, books up
set, the safe door open and the office
In a state of confusion, Mr. Brown
said, when he discovered his loss. A
fire-escape ladder hangs from the sex
ton’s office, which is on the second
floor, and It is Mr. Brown’s theory that
the burglars used this* to reach his
office. They forced the window and
ransacked the office at leisure.
Of the loot, $5,500 was In Liberty
bonds, which wore unregistered and
are therefore transferable. The re
maining $1,500 was in hills. Besides,
there were stickpins, cuff links and
other articles of jewelry, which were
taken. Many of these, Mr. Brown
said, lie treasured for their sentimen
tal value.
“That’s all there was for them to
take,” said Mr. Brown. “But they
made certain that they would not over
look anything. They went through
and overturned everything.”
Mr. Brown sleeps in the parish
''-.house, but so far away that, as he
says, “they could have burned the of
fice and I wouldn’t have known it.”
Patrolman Block Away.
Apparently the burglars made their
escape the same way ns they came in,
although a policeman was on post less
than a block away.
“There is little chance of recovering
the money or the bonds,” said Mr.
Brown, sadly. “When the police

threw tilings around a bit and caused
a little more confusion than before.
Then they told me they hoped I would
get the money back. But there's no
chance of it. 1 guess:
“Yes, that was absolutely all I had.
And here l am, an old man now.”
STOOD OFF HUSKY POLICE
Philadelphia Youngsters Draw Guns
When Bluecoats Catch Them in
Attempted Robbery.
Philadelphia. — Cries of “Help! “
Help!” coming from six husky throats r“
brought scores of people to one of the
busiest sections of Camden in the
early morning who beheld two ten
year-old boys in the act of holding up
half a dozen stalwarts of the law at
the point of guns. The lads—Frank
Poplinski and Joseph Tabiweoslri—
had been surprised by the police while
robbing the store of Bernard Reieh
liug at 1121 Broadway.
Like a movie thriller, the young
sters showed tight when confronted
by the police, whipping their weapons
from their pockets, and stood the offi
cers against the wall. When the L
crowd pressed around the cops took —
courage and made for the boys, who
were subdued after a quick but stub
born tight behind a pile of bundles,
which they used for a barricade.
“Aw, don’t be so rough,” squeaked
Poplinski, as he was pulled from the
melee.
Rob and Imprison Victim.
Boston.-After locking Frank H.
Turgeon in the refrlgerati^l of his
creamery and then robbing his safe of
$250, five masked bandits called up
the police and asked if they would be
so kind as to release hip;. _
