yesterday, that his desk. situated In
his Office, adjoining the gymnasium
had been forced open and between SIS

Plainclothesmen Kaas and Sebold made
close inquiries and learned that Fred
Loeb, 80 years old, of SIS Seventeenth

robatic numbers. IN which Loeb is the
strong man. Loeb has been a turner
for several years and May has spent
the greater part Of his life in the

s%tructors.
When the plainclothesmen learned that
l-och had been seen near the desk they
learned from Mr.. Metzger that he still had
a locker In the building. They obtained

DEATH
Aged Printer Dies Before
Firemen Can Rescue
Him From Shop.

NEW YORK. Dec. 4.-Charles John.
son, an aged printer, was burned to
death today while fighting a fire that
destroyed his printing establishment al
113 Warren street. His body was found
in the ruins whe the hremen arrived.
The property loss was inconsiderable.
Johnson, who was SO ears old, lived
alone in two rooms in one corne of his
shop. He was reputed to have been
wealthy. The explosion of an oil stove
Is believed to have caused the blaze.
He would have probably escaped had
not his hand been caught in some of the
printing machinery, making his flight
impossible.
Half a dozen firemen who tried to
enter the room and bring out the body
of the aged man were overcome by
fumes Of burning printing material and
were carried unconscious to the street
by their comrades. When at last they
were able to reach and remove the
body 1t was burned beyond recognition.
Johnson, it is believed. has a wife
and several children living somewhere
in the Bronx. but for the last ten years
he lived in his printing place.
The f1remen had been at work for
a quarter of an Jour before they
learned that johnson lived in a back
room of the establishment.
Six men rushed up the stairs and,
despite the heat. tried TO force their
way into the burning loft. All but
Deputy Chief Guerin and ore other
a were overcome by the smoke.
Other flremen came up the stairs and
carried the men to the street, where
they were revived by an ambulance sur
geon from the Hudson Street Hospital
and returned to their posts.
When at last the firemen could enter
the building a search was made for
Johnson's body. 1t was found lying
beside a press in the rear of the loft,
burned to a crisp. The mans hand had
been caught in some of the cogwheels
when he had tried TO escape, and he
had been held a prisoner until the
flames reached him and burned him to
death.
While the aged man mas for years
been a ~well-known character in the
neighborhood, little is known of his
life. 1t is said In the district that the
aged man, who was known to many
as the Warren street hermit" had
been ostracized by his relatives for his
manner of living, but during the last
ten years that he had lived in the 1T
tie back Dom a middle-aged woman,
said to be a relative, drove to the place
In a carriage with monogrammed side
panels M visited the aged man.
Johnson had partitioned off a small
in the rear of his printing place,
and had q cot and small table in it.
also had q small gas stove in the
room, on which be cooked his own
He was known to be most penu-
rious, neve buying more than five
cents worth of food at q time.
According to the firemen, h aged man
must have started to cook his breakfast
early today land the flame from the gas
stove must have ignited fumes from a
leaking benzine can. In the smoke which
followed the explosion, johnson. endeayor-
ing to get to the stairs. had become con-
freed and stumbled against the press,
the weight of his body turning the form

wheels.
