HEARTLEss THIEF
RObS A CRIPPLE
Peter Murphy, Who Has to
Crawl About, Loses What
He Priced Most.

Never was there a more heartless
thief than the one who broke into the
home of Peter Murphy, of 1870 Bruce
street, cripple, who is hardly able to
move about The thief stole all the
possessions that the unfortunate Muir
ply priced in this world, some of them
being family heirlooms. Not alone was
the thief heartless, bat he was con-
fident one, for he boldly entered the
place in broad daylight while the
cripple was in the house and while his
friend, John ]. Skehan, another cripple,
who lives upstairs, was in the yard.
Peter Murphy has lived all by him
self for the last two years. Though a
cripple and unable TO get about With
out the aid of crutches his home is
very tidy. He has no visitors. and the
only persons that he sees to- talk to
Is his friend Skehan, a widower, who
lives upstairs. His doors are always
securely locked. In his basement,

cooking utensils left from former pros
porous days. AS to cooking, he says
he is second to none, and is more satis-
fed to eat his own dishes than any
the best caterer could serve up.
On the main f1oor-and he has to crawl
upstairs on his hands-he has his bed
room, and here is to be found an old
organ, a violin and a banjo. He plays
all three instruments, but states he
has not touched them for the last two
years An old candle, which he says
was left by his mother, still decorates
the mantle, and the pictures of his
ancestors of five generations back hang
on the wall in old-fashioned wooden
frames.
In speaking of the robbery he said:
"Is it not a shame for man to rob
a poor cripple like l am? I would have
gladly given any man the few possess
sions that l have in this world if he
would only come and ask for them.

THREE FAMILIES
Starts Blaze in Old Hancox
House While Inmates Are
Sleeping.

fiendish attempt was made early
in Hancox avenue, BeHeville, in which
three families were asleep. Only the
milk, about 4:30 o'clock, prevented the
catastrophe, as the. police and persons
in the house believe that, if the fire
had gone unchecked ten minutes longer,
the escape of the two families on the
two upper floors would have been cut
off, and the same fate might have
confronted those on the first floor.
The house is located in the rear of
the oil and chemical factory of L.
Sonneborn Sons, in Hancox avenue,
and belongs to this firm. 1t is occupied
by employees in the factory. The SUI
rerintendent of the concern, d. 1. Boyd,
and his family reside on the second
floor, where the blaze was started
When the milk boy reached the house
he found the hallway at the top of the
stairs ablaze from floor to ceiling.
There was bundle of paper on the
floor saturated with coal oil and this
was afire. The boy cried out an alarm
and set to work to beat out the flames.
The tenants of the house were aroused
and they assisted the boy in quenching
the flames.
An investigation showed that the coal
oil. had been sprinkled through the hall
and on the bundle of newspapers on the
floor. The superintendent OF the fac
tory and the police have a clue on
which they were working. and it is not
improbable that an arrest will be made
