TO ESCAPE DEATH
Chas. H. Teele Of Wa|tham,
Mass, Gives Robbers $3.50.
FierceIy Threatened With Horrible
Death by Being Burned Alive,
Teelc Coniesses Where Money Is Concealed
Robbers Make Their Escape.

Waltham, Mass, April 14.-One of the
most sensational robberies every
known in this vicinity occurred, early
Tuesday evening, at a lonely farm
house on the outskirts of the town.
Charles Henry Teele. who occupied the
house alone, was the victim and at the
point of pistol and with a more ter
rible death by burning staring him in
the face, he gave up $3.50 to the robbers;
and they made their escape, leaving
him bound hand and foot to bed.
Mr. Teele, who is 5S years old, is
somewhat of a recluse, living IN
house near the Lincoln line. lie IS d
farmer, and all day Tuesday was busy
in carting hay, large amount OF
which he had in his barn. About DUSK,
he came home. No sooner had he
stepped inside the door when he was
met by two men, both masked, ana
armed with revolvers, who demanded
his money under pain of instant death
Teele with considerable bravery re-
fused the stern request, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the men appeared to
be terribly in earnest.
His stand against the robbers somewhat
Disconnected them for a few minutes, but
d1IeT q hurried WnlSDeftu cbtiN ei Ssttlpii'
Teele was seized and dragged into bed
room, where he was thrown on the bed
and securely bound with Il heavy rope
The men then prepared a gag OF cloth,
which they saturated with kerosene and
stuffed into the unfortunate mans mouth,
while all over the bedroom floor and fur
niture they poured all the Kerosene they
could find in lamps and about the house.
When this was DONE the man standing
directly over Teele, told him that they
were well acquainted with his habits,
having watched him for some time. They
We're positive that he had received 5000
from the city of Cambridge for land dam
ages in the taking of part of his estate
for water reservoir. Furthermore, they
were members of a New York gang ana
would stand no fooling and that if he did
not disclose the whereabouts of the
money they would set the room on fire
and leave him.
This was too much for the brave Old
man and he nodded an assent to the de-
after they had removed the gag, that the
$4,000 was all in the bank. bur that he did
have $500 with him and that $50 more was
in the hay in the barn. The men seemed
satisfied with this and one Of them weu,
to the barn and returned with the SOC.
Then the men. taking the $500, left the
unfortunate man still bound to his bed.
After hard work he managed to WORK
himself free and after recovering himself,
walked half a mile to a camp of Italians
and through them the police were noIi-|
fed. The officers in searching the house
found everything in confusion. with kcrC-I
sene all over the bedroom ard clothing
scattered about the house.
