prior to his going home for supper
George Edgemont. a paperhanger who
lives at Jefferson street and Hermit
age lane, Manayunk, shut the safe
door upon his flowing whiskers and
was held until released by his daugh-
ter says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Edgemont had been out collecting
bills during the day. Returning to his
office he opened his safe and placed
the money in it. He then threw the
door shut. catching the end of his
beard in the door. In the excitement
incident to his odd predicament he
forgot the combination and so could
not release himself. With his chin
resting on the safe he was discov-
cred about an hour after the accident
by his daughter, who came to find
what had delayed him. The safe was
broken open by locksmith.
