Thomas Heilman, a blind beggar,
who has been one of the most familiar
figures on the streets of this city for
several years, died in bed early yester-
day morning at the Hotel Sterling.
kept by Edward Horn, on Franklin
avenue.
Helman was about 45 years old and
was a short, stout, ruddy faced man
who always wore Il most contented look
and who used to play the mouth
organ and read selections from bible
with raised letters all day long on
the streets. He formerly lived at the
Hollywood but for the last two weeks
had been stopping at Horns hotel. He
took up a considerable amount OF
money daily from charitable people
and always seemed to be we'll supplied
with funds.
He was born blind and of late appear
ed to be especially melancholy because
he could not see. When he got in this
condition he generally drowned his sor-
rows in drink and on Tuesday night
he became badly intoxicated. He got
back to the hotel about midnight and
had to be put to bed.
In the morning he was found dead
in bed by one Of the employees of the
hotel DR.. John O'NIalley was sum-
moned but on his arrival he said that
Heilman had been dead for some time.
Strangulation, superinduced by heart
trouble was the probable cause of
death. he said Coroner Saltry was
notified and gave permission to have
the remains taken to Barretts under
taking establishment where he will
make a post mortem examination this
morning.
Heilman came here from Reading
where it is understood he has wife
and sister living. Superintendent of

Reading police last night telling of the

and including the high school. The
children from all over the township are
transported to and from this school in
wagons every day, at the expense OF
the district. The total expense is less
than in running a. number of schools,
he said, and the educational advantages
which can be thus secured are FAR
superior to any which could otherwise
be offered.
Miss Julia T.. Rogers gave an inter-
esting talk on just what nature study
means, at the afternoon session, and
was followed by Superintendent Stet-
son, who talked OH the relation of the
community to the school. The resolu-
tions committee then presented a series

WILL PRESS ARSON CHARGE.
Defense in the Thornton Case l.
Now Being Heard.

The defense in the Thornton inSur-
ancc case was opened yesterday. At
torney M. j. Martin in the opening ad-
dress laid particular stress upon the
allegation that the fire at the Thorn
ton home was of incendiary origin. He
declared that evidence would be pro-
duced to show that the fire was the
elimination Of a carefully designed
plan to defraud the insurance COM
panies. The fact that the fire occurred
one day after the policies We're taken
out; that, as the defense will try to
prove, the goods We're insured for much
more than their value, and that the
fire occurred in a new home in which
the family had not yet taken up their
residence, We're pointed out by Mr..
Martin to be incidents corroborativc
of the arson allegation. Mr.. Martin
also dwelt at length on the alleged
failure of Thornton to care for the
goods saved from the fire after he had
been given possession of them by the
insurance adjustors.
A motion for a nOn-Sut, on the
ground that the plaintiff had failed to
observe the requirements of the policy
regarding the separating OF the damag-
ed from the undamaged goods, was re-
fused by Judge Archibald. The plain
tiff claims he was prevented from doing
this by the company's agents. Judge
Archibald decided thot this raised a
question for the jury.
j. NJ. Hoban the local agent of the
companies who wrote the two $4,000
policies, and James M. Hemingway, Of
New Haven, Conn, one of the insur-
ance adjustors, We're examined for the
defense. Mr.. Hoban tried to make it
appear that the Thornton's induced
him to write the policies without his
first having made an inventory of the
goods; that he intended to confirm their
claims as to the value of the goods
the next day, after the goods would
be moved to the new home, and that
in the interim the fire occurred.
Mr.. Hemmyway's testimony bore
mainly on the Thorntons' alleged fail
ure to take care of the goods OTTER the
fire.
