sLUGGED HIS LITTLE SISTER.
John Magengast Utilized Gertis
in His Boxing Practice.
The Pummelling Finally Stopped hy
tho Gerry Society.

Life has been a burden for the past
few months for pretty little Gertie Ma
gengast, fourteen years old of 554 West
One Hundred and Twenty sixth street.
Her brother John is a strapping
young fellow. almost too strong to work,
and he has an 'nordinate desire to be-
come the champion lightweight slugger
Of the world.
He has been taking boxing lessons
for six months and more which would
be all well enough In its way II John
would only continue his pugilistic prac-
tice in the gymnasium. He wouldn't
do that. but instead carried his gloves to
his home and insisted that Gertie
should stand up before him and give
an imitation of punching bag.
John had a picnic, of course. every
time he put the gloves on with his fragile
little sister. and he never let up in pun
melting pretty little Gertie.
Gertie appealed to her mother, but she
only upheld her boy, and, indeed, tho
nelghbors say. often beat Gertie herself.
Agent Geubert. Of the Gerry Society,
visited the house last night. and took
Gertie away. To-day she told the story
as here related In the Harlem Police
Court.
Her father WAS present. and he prom
ised that Gertie would no longer bo
utilized as a punching bag for her
brother, and the case was adjourned for

His Highness the Nawab Of Rampur slept

BURGLARY On CANAL Street.
Friedmann's Store Forced for the
Third Time in Seven Months.
Tho Robbers Work Under q Gas
light BEFORE Midnight.

Maly Friedman. n shoe dealer, at
4Oi Canal street. reported at Police
Headquarters this morning the details
OF burglary committed between the
hours OF 10 and 12 o'clock last night in
his store. almost under the eyes Of the
police Of the Leonard street station.
According to Friedmanns description
Of the job. II must have required two
hours TO complete II. and for greater
portion OF the time the burglars worked
under the rays Of a gas Jet. which was
always left burning during the night.
The burglars did not secure much
booty. but this roDUery Ia the third
since last December. and Friedman
believes he has received his full share
OF attention from thieves.
At 3 o'clock last night Friedman
locked the store door, and as was GUS
tomary left a light In the show win
dow. He then went to his room on
the second floor. where he had been
sleeping in order to better keep watch
Of his property, though his residence
is. at 12 Laight street.
Shortly before midnight Friedman
was aroused by Policeman william Null
holland. who stated that the store had
been burglarized again. and on going
downstairs he discovered that the rob-
bers had broken through one of the
lower panels of the store door fronting
the street.
After the hole In the door was made
all the robbers had to do was to clean
out the show window. Thirty pairs OF
shoes, the finest In the stock. valued at
about 500. were carried away.
The burglary was daring ono, con-
sideriEg that the robbers worked in the
early portion OF the night. with a light
in the show window. Canal street Ia
busy thoroughfare at night. with
many pedestrians passing to and fro.
and the robbers could only work while
the policeman was patrolling another
part of his post.
Only a dozen pairs OF shoes were car
ried away on the occasion of the first
burglary last December. The thieves
then gained an entrance to the store
by breaking open the shutter on the
front window. thence through the plate
glass.
The next attempt occurred only a
few weeks afterwards. Then the thieves
were surprised by friedman. but they
succeeded In making their escape. The
robbers had broken open the front en-
trance and were in the store when de-
tected.
