A CRIMINAL FROM BoYHooD
And This Father Was Educating His
Boys to Follow His Example.

ASSJ w SAAbw AAAo 4@AohhPAos
BROOKLYN, Sept, ga career of
crime has just been unearthed through
the arrest Of a man and his two sons in
this city. On Wednesday Of last week
man and two boys were arrested for rob-
bing cigar store on Washington street.
AT the station they gave the names of
John Miller, aged Al, and his two sons,
Fred and Charles, aged 13 and IL, re-
Fpectively. Subsequently it was discov-
tred that the trio had the same night
robbed clothing store on Washington
street, but had been frightened away,
leaving their plumber behind them. The
next day the prisoners were arraigned
and sent to Jail on charge of vagrancy,
pending further investigation.
Detectives investigated the mans
record and have traced burglaries by the
wholesale, incendiary fires and murder
to him.
The robbery of George C. Craus, of
Brooklyn; j. p. Canty, of New Rochelle,
and burglaries in, Jersey City and Bor-
dentown, N. j., without number have
been charged against him. In Jersey
City he was arrested in 1891 for receiv-
ing stolen goods. He was bailed and
escaped.
He lived in New Brunswick under the
name of Hart. In December, 1860, when
III years old, he tried to tapa till of John
Poder's grocery store, and, caught in the
act, shot dead the 16-year-old boy who
discovered him.
He was sentenced to be hanged, had
the sentenced conmuted to life, e,hnprison-
ment, served seventeen years and was
pardoned, Then he opened a crockery
store in Bordentown, N. j., which was
suspiciously set on fire, aa was also his

RHv1v1Na A MURDER MYSTERY.
The Slayer of Hannah Robinson May
Be Brought to Justice,

The Slayer of Hannah Robinson May
Be Brought to Justice.
New YORK, Sept. 29.-Chief Inspector
Steers thinks he has caught the mur-
derer of Hannah Robinson, the girl who
was found dead in Myers lane, Glendale,
L. l., on Sunday, August 2, 1891. The
suspected man is Clarence Almy, who is
now in Jail at Reading, Pa. Inspector
Steers has sent man to Reading to in
vestigate the evidence against Almy and
arrange for requisition papers.
The murder of Hannah Robinson was
the sensation of a year ago and puzzled
the detectives of New York, Brooklyn
and Long Island. The girl was domes-
Martin, rector of Trinity Episcopal
church, in Woodsburg, near Hewitt's,
on the Far Rockaway road.
She started for New York Saturday
afternoon, August 1, 1891, with $12
That night she was seen drinking beer
in Ridgewood Park, Brooklyn, with a
man whose name has never been learned.
The next morning she was found dead,
with the marks of fingers on her neck,
which told the story of strangulation.
She was 90 years old and good looking.
Nothing was learned about her, except
that she had been in the Maternity hos
pital in Brooklyn, and that the father of
her child was registered as John
Smith, blacksmith"
The mystery in the case was increased
by the story of Charles H. Weber, of
New Haven, Conn, who identified the
girl as his niece. While his story was
under investigation he gave the police
the slip, and no trace Of him has since
been found.

New YORK, Sept 29.-The charge of
forgery will probably be added to the
one of grand larceny that was made
against Frederick H. MacMaster in the
jefferson Market police court. Up to
the time of his arrest MacMaster was
cashier for The Dramatic News, at
Thirtieth street and Broadway. His EN-
ployers allege that he has not only
robbed them of between s., 500 and 81, 900
in the course of three months, but that
contents. This was DONE it is charged,
in order that he might be given charge
of the cash, and he gained his point.
Since then he has been stealing right
and left, not hesitating at forgery to aid
his schemes.
