A CONVICT AT SIXTY-TWO.
MICHAEL KEELER's STORY is PlTIFUL
IN ITS EVERY PHASE.

While He Has Gone TO Sing Sing His Wife
and Children Are Left Dc, tituto on the
Fourth story OF a Dirmnntled House
-Four Ladders Their Only Means OF I.eav-
ing and ReEaining Their Abode.
The case Of Michael T. Keller. white-haired
and bent with the weight of sixty-two years,
who was sentenced to Sing Sing for two
years by Judge MARITIME on his plea of guilty
to a charge of forgery in the third degree, is
a pitiful one in every phase.
For eighteen years Keller was a trusted
bookkeeper at A. L. Stewards Chambers
street store.
When that establishment was vacated he
was thrown out of work, and since then he
has been j~anitor of several buildings.
He married Mary Mulligan, the only child
of the late famous Grand street blacksmith,
Jim Mulligan, who died wealthy.
She was q cousin to and bore the same
name rs the wife of Gov. Green, of New
Jersey.
But Mrs. Keller died before her mother, in
1881. and the latter left a handsome property
to be divided among her four grandchildren,
the three daughters and one sou of Keller.
Keller married again, and now has a young
wife and two pretty, bright. eyed, curly
pated children, three and five years old.
There was no property Tor him. and he re-
septed it, and was on bad terms with the
children.
July 8 he met a genial companion, Col. Bill
EVERY. who was once a real estate manlpu-
lator of renown, but who got swamped in
1869, and has lived from hand to mouth since.
The Colonel wan ed some cash for the ever
glorious Fourth, and Keller wrote a note
for $25, signing the name of his son-in law,
John j. Brady, and indorsing it himself.
The pair met Malcolm Campbell. the old
lawyer. and he cashed the note readily.
Brady told him later that it was a forgery.
Hillen's cashier told him that Keller had
left $15 there for him, but Campbell was
@roth and had Keller arrested. He was
locked in the Tombs, unable to furnish
80, 900 bail. Then his wife paid $40 to q
i lawyer. $40 of which went to Campbell to
complete the liquidation of the note.
Campbell and Brady pleaded with Judge
MARITIME, but could get the aged %reprobate off
for no less than two years.
Keeler's wife and babes lived at 201 West
