DIES OF HIS BURNS.
Retribution for Man Who Hurled
Lamp at Bedridden Wife.

HAVERHILL, Mass. March 27.-As a
result of throwing a lighted lamp at his
bedridden wife, Charles A. Quinby, shoe
skiver. died here today of burns. Mrs.
Quinby is suffering from burns received
in a fire started when the lamp was shat
tered against the wall. Dennis Driscoll
was badly burned in saving Quinby,
whom he carried out when the only en-
trance to the house was filled with flame.
Then Ralph Clement, climbing to the win
dow Of Mrs. Quinby's room over the
shoulders of two other men, located the
woman and carried her to the ground over
the not altogether secure structure by
which he had assembled. 1t was stated
today that Mrs. Quinby's injuries would
not be fatal.
Mrs. Quinby says that her husband, en-
ragged when she pleaded with him to stay
al home last night, hurled at her lighted
lamp. which struck the wall above her
bed, and broke, scattering fire all about.
Quinby's clothes caught, and in rushing
out of the door to escape, he fell down
the stairs, where he remained until res
cued by Driscoll. Mrs. Quinby lost con-
seriousness and did not know how she was
rescued.

80 declared Judge Kimball I'm the Po-
lice Court this morning at the conclusion
Of the trial of Howard s. Abbott. said to
be railroad Waterman, charged with
annoying several women on the streets
last Tuesday. Because OF the persistence
with which Abbott followed and addressed
young women before he was finally ar
rested, the officers referred to him as
Jack the Plncher.'
Two young women told the court that
for several weeks past the defendant fol-
lowed them to and from their work near
7th and F streets, and gradually became
SO bold in his efforts to attract their at
tcntion that he addressed them in endaar-
ing terms On number of occasions. Fin
ally. the witnesses declared, the man. af-
ter speaking to them, grabbed hold Of
their arms and pinched them about the
wrists and hands. In one instance. 1t was
stated. the mans conduct was such as
to brighten one of the witnesses into
Mysteries. and 1t was some time before
she was sufficiently composed to return
to her home.
The matter was reported to the central
Office and Detectives Cornwell and Baur
were detailed to look out for the man.
This was accomplished short time after
the young ladies filed their complaint on
description. Abbott was later fully iden-
titled by persons who saw his acts.
Although only one case was filed against
the man today. the officers are inclined
to believe that he has been responsible
for a number of similar incidents which
have occurred along 7th street in the
past month.
