Remarkable Career of John
Joseph kean.
kidnarcr Of Fcd NIuth Wanted for
Bank Theft and Other Crimes In
New York
THEOLOGICAL STUDENT ONCE

Philadelphia, June 0,-Kidnaper,
bank robber. embczzler. petty thief.
wife deserter. confidence man and
PROBABLY burglar
This is one side of the character of
Joseph Kean who at last faces life
imprisonment for kidnapping little
Freddie Muth.
Inventor. author. theological stu
dent, mathematician. chemist. That
is the other side of his character. The
AZ years OF Kean's life have been
crowded with exciting episodes. Il,
closed his career in New York by
stealing 100000 from the Harlem
bank in 1904. He has since lived
here-a life OF mys'ory even to his
family, according to their story-and
his capture Monday with the kidnapped
boy closed apparently the public
career of a man described by the po-
lice as mort dangerous.
Kean has stolen one fortune, made
another and lost both on the race
track and in stocks. His desperate
course in capturing tho Muth boy was
to prevent his arrest for embezzling
$3.50 and the police say to provide
entangled.
Kesn's family live In New York.
His father recently died of apoplexy
and his mother is an invalid. Two
brothers, Edward and Thomas, are In
the real estate business in New York
and fourth brother, William rs to
be ordained a priest at Woodstock.
Nd. on June %.
Robbed Bank.
Kean was student In a theological
institution In New York. Then he
entered the Office OF real estate
broker He was quick at figures and
went ahead rapidly. Then he be-
came an inventor securing a patent
for a sanitary lavatory. To promote
this he organized a stock company
and finally sold out his interest after
having made about $4,000. Mean.
while he had been connected with the
Harlem bank. He began specializing
in the stock market and quickly losi
all his money. AS his resources di
minlshed he married a Miss GerouX
whose family live In New York. Their
he stole s20.O 900 from the bank. Tn,
bank officials made every effort to pre-.
vent this crime from becoming public
but they have never ceased to prose
cute a search for Kean. The moment
he was arrested here the Philadelphia
police received a dispatch from In
spector Mclaughlin. Of New York
asking If Kean vas the man who ,hat
robbed the bank.
When questioned upon this Kear
promptly admitted that he had taker
the money. He came to Philadelphia
twelve years ago. taking a house neai
where the Muths live.
After arriving here Kean developed
a mania for tr-ing to invent things
and fitted up a workshop In his home

He then procured a position as
bookkeeper. He soon lost this and be-
gan living by his wits. and under the
guise of promoting questionable enter
pilses worked confidence game upon
several Of his ,cquaintances.
The results were slim. however.
and he at last sought with Charles J.
Cooke. a position as agent for some
real estate operations. Kean Is a
fluent talker. and he represented that
he had been acting as agent for the
Robinson street properties in the
Eeighborhood OF his home Mr.. Cooke
gave him a position as agent and rent
collector.
This was in the early part OF las,
October and Kean lived comfortably
until he became involved in an affair
with a woman in the neighborhood
This taxed his resources and he began
to hold back the rents he collected for
his own use.
Mr.. Cooke on June 1 wrote Kean
that his services as agent were n
longer desired. II was found that he
had embezzled $500 and Cooke swore
out a warrant for his arrest. Kean
begged to be given little more time
to raise the money. He said he could
get it in New York. It was TO raise
this money that he kidnapped Freddie
Muth.
