John Flynn. aged ", who for many
years has resided on Beer Hill, was
fornd near the house that he once called
home on Putnam street just before the
clocks were TO strike the hour OF mid
night. II was kind hearted Sergeant Pot
ter Of the Chaffee street station that
found the old gentleman and the two
wended their way to the station for Flynn
had not a place 10 lay his head.
There are many more inviting places for
a person 10 pass away the night than
cell at the Chafree street station. but this
loomed up like the "Narragansett" TO
Mr.. Flynn for the weather was not such
as 20 allow a person who had been on
this sphere nearly three-Quarters or a
century 10 sleep out OF doors.
The old gentlemen was made "a COM
Portable as possible and this morning was
given his freedom. but not until he had
tucked away in the pocket Of his we'll
worn trousers, a sufficient sum OF money
TO purchase a substantial meal.
He hobbled away with the aid OF his
cane and the men on duty at the station
could but wonder where night would over
take him. Some time ago Mr.. Flynns
wife. who is much younger than he. was
hailed into court for maintaining a nui-
sance on Putnam street, and Is now
awaiting the action OF the grand jury.
Yesterday she picked up her effects and
removed 10 Rockland, and when Mr..
Flynn went home last evening found his
home deserted go he had no place to go.
Mr.. Flynn's life has not been one of sun
shine for the past year and a number OF
citizens including the Rev. Fr. Thomas r.
Grace, pastor OF ST. Marys church, have
interested themselves In the old mans
case and have been making an effort to
get him into the Home" at Pawtucket.
AS that Institution is now illed to over
flowing they were not successful.
Undoubtedly this gentleman will hnd
some other place for him II none other
than one OF the institutions at Cranston.
1t is said that he has married sons and
daughters.
