the remaining one against Edwards. This
is the longest sentence of the many which
have been passed upon Jack Sheppard
in his long career of crime throughout the
country He is fifty-eight years old now
and if he lives to complete his term he
will scarcely have the physical ability to
engage in any more burglaries.
1t is also the longest sentence. ever I'm
posed ON Edwards, but he is comparatively
beginner in the profession. AS his term
is not Mkely to be shortened by anything

STEINER TOLD WONDERFUL STORY
But 1t Didn't Gro With the Jury and
Lippincott's Burglar Was Convicted

Albert Steiner, who. the police firmly
believe, is the burglar who broke into
Justice Lippincott's house on Christmas
eve, was convicted in -the Special Sessions
Court this morning of attempting burg
larry at Arthur Krauser's house, No. s45
Fairmount avenue, near the Boulevard.
There was no possible chance for the de-
fendant TO escape the arrest and the evi-
dence against him was so conclusive that
conviction was inevitable:
Policeman Patrick Higgins of the
Seventh precinct, heard a noise about 3:15
A. M January A, in the rear of Mr..
Krauser's house. Higgins summoned as
sistance and in, a few minutes Policemen
Murphy, Harris, Looney and Cronin were
with him, ready to capture any number
of burglars. If Steiner had known the
aggregation of talent he was up against
he probably would have surrendered un-
conditionaly.
Higgins divided the police force and
placed them at the points of vantage. Two
were stationed at the front of the house
and two wentHo the rear, Higgins leading
the way. Higgins climbed up on the fence
and saw Steiner crouching under the
kitchen window. A moment afterward the
policeman had Steiner in custody.
The catch of the kitchen window mad
been opened. An ash can stood direct
ly under the window and had evidently
been used by the burglar to stand on.
When the prisoner was searched at the
police station bent knife, aechisel and a
quantity of burned matches were found In
his possession. He said that he lived in
Fifty-ninth street, New York. Detective
Prescott found that the number the pris-
oner had given would be located in Cen
tral Park, If there were any houses there.
Detective Gallagher went to Justice
Ldppincott's house in Sip avenue and
John Willis's house in Pavonia avenue,
which had also been robbed and found
that Steiner's knife and chisel ntted the
marks at both houses.
Steiner told a wonderful story. He said
that he had been to Bayonne taking home
friend who was drunk. He walked
back. He saw two men following him.
and fearing that they meant to rob him
he hid in the yard where the policemen
found him. His story didn't go.
