Peter Grogan: Il should faVor iegiS-

TORTURE ENDS IN DEATH.
An Aged Winemniscr Murdered by
Masked Robbers.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Dec. 1S.-Charles
Rocket an aged bachelor winemaker,
who lived on the Lehigh Mountain, three
miles south of this city. was murdered
last night by unknown men. The pur
nose of the crime was robbery. Rocket
uas generally believed to have large
sums of money concealed about the
house, and in their efforts to get the
treasure the robbers tortured the victim
by burning his feet.
The theory OF the police is that Rocket
insisteC that he did not have much money
about the house and the robbers clubbed
him into insensibility with wine bottles
while they ransacked the house. There
are no external injuries serious enough
TO cause death, and it is believed the
old man. who had been suffering from
heart trouble for some years, died from
the shock incident to the beating he re-
ceivcd.
Edward Blumer, nephew, was with
the old man until late last night, and
when he reached the house this morning
he found the doors locked Forcing his
way in he found the old man lying dead
on the floor of his bedroom. An exam
nation of his injuries showed that he
had been struck on the mouth with
hottie His wrists bore evidence of a
severe struggle, and his feet were COW
cred with blisters, the result of the tor
ture administered by the robbers.
Later the charred remains of the masks
that the men wore were found in the
stove. The house had been ransacked.
but the murderers did not get over 500.
They drank number OF bottles of wine
over the dead body OF their victim. There
Is no clue to the murderers, who are be-
lieved to be men living in the neighbor
hood.
