Shang Draper was among the FIRST visitors
who called on the Howard family after the re-
moval TO AIS Fulton street. Draper. his wife.
and her cousin. Rose Kearny. were then living
at 57l Carlton avenue The Brooklyn directory
Of that year calls Draper Thomas Daniels.
Johnny Dobbs Billy Porter sheeny Mike. Little
Rosey. Johnny Irving. Jim Brady. and others
were in frequent consultation at Howard 8
| house. The wife was never permitted TO re-
| main long In their company The burglar re-
spected the little lady. but his respect was tinged
with jealousy. He evidently desired to keep
her pure and sacred. His relations with Draper.
however. were such MS to force his wife to re-
ceive visits from Mrs. Draper and to return
them. Among his associates. Towards atten-
lions to his wife became proNerbial.
He evidently enjoyed the privacy OF his home.
for during his stay in BrooklYn he took his wife
10 the theatre not more than six times. He kept
no servant. His wife prepared all his meals.
and he often said that he relishcd nobody =

Al this time he seems TO have turned his attrn-
m"nt and easy manners gave him an oppor-
tunity OF entering stores and warehouses and
OF discover inE their vulnerable points. In no
case WAS his Judgment at fault. His operations
were profitable. because silk. though more
bulky than Iewelry. brings about half It's value
from receivers of stolen goods. and is not easily
identified nter proper manipulation. Howard
WAS not suspected Of these rohberies. When
not in the SILK business or planning future
| operations. his time was spent in collecting
books or experimenting with combinat on
| locks. He became a sort Of hihliomanlac,
haunted John Pyne's, Sahins, and other old
book stores. and returned home nearly every
| night with one or two volumes under his arm.
lie WAS u great reader, aud uasscd whole eNrn-
ings reading to his wife. While at AIS Fulton
street he collected over 1900 volumes. His pet
literature was works ON precious stones, metal
lurgy. mining. and machinery. lie bought no
novels and had no taste for history. When he
fan ned u book he did not count the cost. In
addition to his love II books Howard WAS a dog
idnrier. 10 owned the finest Italian grey
hound. Scotch terrier and black and tan that
money could purchase
On Aug. %. 1875, John Dolan murdered Noe
