PLAYS GOOD SAMARITAN,
THEN LOSES FAITH In MEN.
John Lukan Takes in Stranger
to His Sorrow.

It's tough when a ma does the
Good Samaritan act and then has his
faith in human nature rudely shat
tered. Take the case of John Lukan.
OF III Ferry street. for instance. Luz
a has always tried to give a helping
hand 10 a brother in distress, and even
denies himself many comforts in order
that less fortunate nortals may share
some of the good things in life.
After Yesterdays experience Lukan's
charitable instincts will be touched
less quickly and his confidence in man
kind will take SOME little time to re-
gain its former mistaken stand. Lu-
kan was deeply touched Uhe word is
used adyisedly) by the ingratltude of
a man about five feet ten inches tau,
of medium build, apparently about 40
years old, with black hair and mus
tache n a hard luck story.
This man wanted a nights lodging
and as he appeared weary and in need
of rest Lukan threw open wide his
door and bade him welcome. Another
man in the house, John Prexner, glad
~ consented TO share his room with
the stranger and soon the newcomer
was wrapt in sluinber.
That was on Tuesday night. Yester-
day as the first rays of the spring sun
entered the room Prexner awoke with
q light heart and a merry good morn.

not there to receive the greeting. He
had not even waited for his breakfast.
but had gone silently forth into the
world with a $50 gray overeoat, a SIS
suit of clothes and a handful of Rus
sian kopecks valued at S10.40.
Thus il is that Mr.. Lukan and his
friend PrexI,or have asked the police
OF the Third precinct 10 look for the
nj described above, but who now may
be arrayed in the Easter outfit that
went with him when he sailed forth
into the early morning mists in Ferry
street.

on that ground the State had asked
the jury to recommend the prisoner
to the mercy OF the court so he could
escape the lashes.
