Beeaar Takes Whirl at Coney Island
and Then Doesn't Dare Return
to His Old Corner.

New York-Wall street has just lost
one of its most interesting and best
known characters, and at the same
time is minus fiourishing business.
The character in question is known as
Blind Charley, and the business is
that of begging, by which he has ac-
cumulated a fortune of more than
100000.
Kind-hearted brokers, fresh from
successful turn in the market, have
been cheerful contributors to the bat
tered tin cup of the blind beggar, and
so generous have been gifts that there
is apparently no reason why Blind
Charley should not have run his for

had only used bit of discretion. the
trouble began when Charley started
out for Coney Island last week, all
dressed up. He looked about as much
like a beggar as Andrew Carnegie or
John D. Rockefeller might look If they
ever took it in their heads to give
Coney a whirl. The little boy VINO

Success OF Finger-Print System
Hard On Crooks.
Has Been Means of Securing Many
Convictions and Its Use Is Being
Adopted More Widely by
the Police.

napolis.-Burglars operating in
Indianapolis in the future will have to
wear gloves, as the detective depart
ment henceforth will pay more at
attention to the practical side OF the
finger-print system. Captain of Detec-
tives Holtz, on recent visit to New
York, found the detectives there were
making use of the fnger-print system,
and he believes it will be great help
in solving burglaries.
The detective department here has
used the finger-print system since 1t
was adopted by the national bureau OF
identification. 1t has been used, how
ever, more in identifying prisoners
with the Bertillon system. After a
prisoner has been brought in and his
Bertillon identification has been COM
pleted, the finger-print cards were
used to verify the Identification more
completely.
When l was in New York recently
/ found the police department using
the finger-print system to identify bur
glars who leave finger prints around
the job they have DONE" said Cap
tain Holtz. Several large burglaries
have been cleared in the east through
finger prints, ane the detectives there
say burglars now wear gloves when
they are at work.
Il have always believed the finger
prints practical in police work. Ere
quently the finger prints of safe blow
ers are left on the door, and the or
binary burglar is apt to leave finger
prints around a door or window.
The trouble is, the finger print to
be of any service to police work, has
to be very clear, or the expert is IN
able to see enough lines to make an
Identification"
Bert Perrott, Bertillon clerk, is also
the fnger-print expert. Perrott, since
he has taken up the finger prints in
connection with the Bertillon work,
has shown great skill. Recently, as
a test, glass bottle was taken into
the detective department at roll call,
Previously the detectives had gone to
Perrott's office and he took the i'm
preston of their finger tips.
After leaving the bottle Perrot re-
turned to his office. Detective Frank

BLIND CHARLEY GOES AWAY

round, bumped the bumps and looped
the loop, and occasionally Charley
would break a five-dollar bill to pr
chase a bag of peanuts. Naturally
they attracted a good deal of atten-
ton. People were interested at the
sight of an old blind man and little
boy doing Coney together.
One man. who on more than one
occasion had dropped dime in Char

that he notified the police. AS re-
suit the fact was brought to light that
Charley was weather. than many of

Wall street will miss his queer per-
sonality. the sting is made still sharp
er by the realization of many brokers
that they let man with 100000 in
cold cash invade their stronghold
without ever making single invest
ment in the securities in which they
deal.
