his brother, DR.. Arthur Thorpe OF

probable motive for his murder is
found. Young Thorpe stated that, in

years of age and the son of wealthy

1t will perhaps interest every boy who
has read Oliver Twist TO knew that at
the bottom Of Great Saffron Ill., in what
was once one of the most fideous and
dangerous Sluns OF London, stiil exists
the relic OF Fagin's kitchen IL is a part
of 4 dirty and ruinous old tenement ex-
actiy coinciding with the famous lien
to which the Artfai Dodgcr led Oliver
Twist as new pal for a first visit from
"Grecnland.' The den has several ouIi-
nous-looking staircases. leading into dark
and illsmelling passages, and plenty of
cupboard room, well available for thieves
booty. From the outhouses any Of the
lightfingered gentry could easily have

cent house, recently condemned by the
London county council, was easily ac-
CeSShlc. The last-naned tenement,
formerly a haunt of yagrants, with all
the cOnveniences of thieves kitchen.
