Fifty-five years old and thirty-two years
spent in jail
Such is the remarkable record of An
drew Lee, now confined in the District
Jail, awaiting transfer to Leavenworth,
where he is to serve a sentence of twenty
years for housebreaking. His criminal
record is known over the United States,
and the police consider him one of the
most dangerous men with whom they
have to deal Last Monday his appeal
for a new trial was denied by the Court
of Appeals and he must serve his full
sentence of twenty years.
The plea that his attorneys put forth
TO obtain a pardon or new trial was that
he is a kleptomaniac. Lee says that when
a child he used to steal objects that
pleased his fancy, such as shiny but
tons or bits of crystal, although he made
no use of these things, and never took
anything because of its value.
Just Unconscious LOcomOtiOn."
He says that at times he loses con-
sciousness, and awakes to find himself
in another part OF the town or perhaps in
another city, and when he comes to his
senses he often has concealed about him
valuables, diamonds, gold, and other arti-
cles, the source of which he is unable to
explain. He calls these seizures 'uncon-
scious locomotion."
Later he is arrested on a charge OF
housebreaking, and even when the case
is proved against him, and witnesses give
details of how he was seen to enter or
leave the house, he is not able to recall
the circumstances. The crime for which
he received his sentence here in Wash
ington was a particularly daring one.
He was walking in G street one day
last fall, and saw a woman leave her
house, apparently going shopping. When
she had turned the corner he went to the
door, rang the bell, and told the servant
that he had seen the lady of the house"
about a business matter, and she had
asked him to wait until her return. The
servant admitted the stranger and went
back to her work. while Lee rif1ed the
house.
AS he was leaving. he met the woman
returning. just as he was going down
the steps, and explained to her that he
was stranger spending a couple of
Gays in Washington. and had mistaken
his house. Before she had time to con-
slider his story, he had gone and was
lost to sight. A neighbor had observed
him enter the house, and was able to
give a complete description to the police,
who soon apprehended him Lee does
not remember anything about this occur
renee. He says 1t is another example of
unconscious locomotion."
During the many years which Lee has
spent in prison, he has formulated a
state of philosophy resembling somewhat
the famous de Profundis'' of Oscar
Wilde. He has scribbled his thoughts
from time to time on such paper as he
could obtain. The greater part of his
philosophy was formulated in the Cherry
Hill Penitentiary. in Pennsylvania He
served a sentence Of fifteen years and
six months there in solitary confinement
for housebreaking. When he entered

The police last night instituted a
search for two young men who have

that they were seeking voluntary con-
