PITTSFIELD, Mass, May A.
The first blind man to go up ina bal
loon, so far as is known here, is
William Heinrich, the tenor of the
late Edward Everett Hale's church
in Boston. He made an ascension
recently in the balloon Massachu-
sets, with Charles J. Glidden as
pilot and Frank p. Sibley Of Boston.
They descended at Bennington
Falls, VT, 80 miles from here in an
air line
Mr.. Heinrich was enthusiastic
over the trip. He has been blind
since he was six years old.
What did l do in the ARP he
said. Il composed a poem and
wrote a song. Time was obliterated
to me. l detected the rising of the
balloon only by the escape of gas.
Then it was simply an ecstasy. l
could not detect the descent at ALL"
Glidden weighs 215 pounds and
Heinrich tips the scales at 220. Sib-
leys weight is 165 pounds.

CUT FINGER LEADS TO
BURGLARS ARREST

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May IA.
"A trail of blood leading from a
saloon to room in a lodging
house has led to the arrest of John
Mullin, who is charged with bur
glary.
Detectives found blood in the
cash register, indicating that the
thief had cut his finger. Drops of
blood on the floor. on the sidewalk
in front and on stairs leading to
the second floor of the building
were followed by the officers, who
entered the room where they
ended.
Mullin was asleep, and before
rousing him, Gamble examined his
fingers and found one wrapped in
cloth. The arrest followed.
