had been in the country only three
months. having come from Germany
with the intention Of securing posi-
ton to play the violin--on which In
strument other musicians declared him
to be particularly proiic!ent-.n New
York orchestra. lie was a youth Of
refined manners and engaging address,
and obviously OF good family. ON
reaching this city he found that he
would not be allowed to play in local
orchestra because he was not a mem
Der of the musicians union. and that TO
qualify for membership he must re-
main in the country for SIX months
and be prepared to pay an initiation fec
of $500.
When his money gave out the boy
found employment in grocery store,
but the fact that he spoke no English
made ii impossible for him to perform
the duties of a clerk, and he was dis
charged. The only other employment
he could find necessitated severe man
ual labor that he feared would pcrma
ncntly spoil his hands for the violin.
In this extremity he stole slc, spent
three Of 1t for registration a an employ
ment agency, and was arrested with
the other seven in his possession.
The three Speciar Sessions Judges
agreed that it would be a pity to send
the boy to "A reformatory. anu in their
quandary they called upon the Jewish
cha plain of the Tombs and asked II he
could find any one who would take the
young musician in charge until his
family could be communicated with.
Rabbi Goldsteln did not know of any
one upon whom he could call FOR
such "a purpose. but after brief talk
with the lad he said to the Judges:
III you will wait long enough for
me to telephone to Mrs. Goldstein !
will probably be able to take the boy 10
my home
When the rabbi returned from the
telephone he told the Judges that he
was prepared to take charge of the lad,
who Was promptly turned over to him.

self translated in something like an
hour from "A cell in the Tombs prison
to a pleasant home with family of
young people in brooklyn.
Unfortunately the boy turned out to
be what scientists call moral inn
beetle. lie stole everything he could
lay his hands upon, and Rabbi Gold
stein sent him back to his parents in
Germany.
Another peculiar case of New York 3
underworld is recalled in a case in which
Francis u. Gallatin called on "a man
in the Tombs prison some time ago
whom he had been assigned To defend
in General Sessions on a charge OF
larceny. The prisoner strenuously pro-
tested his innocence; and, as he was OF
respectable appearance and good adj
dress, the lawyer had begun 10 feel a
friendly interest in him when the man
remarked casually that he had already
served three terms in state prison.
