A Story Of the Late Philip Speed.

The story printed below of the late
Phillip Speed. well-known newspaper
man and for years on the staff of the
New York World, is of human inter
est. Mr.. Speed was well known in
Winchester, having visited friends
here. He married daughter
of Hon. James M. Mason, of Charles
Town. The story is from the pen of
Julius Chambers, in the Brooklyn
Eagle. and is as follows:
Working newspaper men who at
tended the funeral of Phillip Speed. at
his home on Staten Island, must have
had serious thoughts regarding the for
getfulness of mankind.
"Mr, Speed had been worker in
New York journalism for more than
20 years. during which time he had
performed many acts as a reporter
that TO this day rebound to the philan-
thropies of his profession. One in
stance in particular recurs to me, be-
cause it happened TO come under my
personal notice.
In the summer of 1899 the child of
a rich family was carried off by nurse
that had been planted in the house,
hold for the express purpose Of secur-
ing money for the little girls ransom
For many days the police of this city
and the constsbulary of New Jersey
worked fruitlessly on the case.
philip Speed. a reporter on the
World, was finally assigned to the APP
parently hopeless task of finding the
abducted child. He spent days and
nights amid the widest recesses Of
New Jersey, because he soon gained
clue that the maid came from the reg
ion of Hillside. Later he lea. ned that
she was a married woman, although
she had posed as a maid. He drove
and walked over all that semi. noun
famous region until he located small
roadside inn. at which a young couple
and child were living He had pho
tograph of the girl. He lodged at the
roadside inn, identified the child, got
i'll touch with the police by telephone,
caused the arrest of the couple and re-
stored the stolen baby to her parents. |
Then he hurried back to his desk to
write an account of the chase, dscov-
cry and rescue. 1t was first pager,
all right.
The abductors were tried, convict
ed and given long term in prison. |
Would you believe It, those parents |
never wrote to Philip Speed a line of
gratitude? Saddest of all to me, they |
were not at his funeral and did not send |
word of sympathy to the young
widow
such is the experience of most
newspaper workers. Star.
