2 Burglars Who
Beat Broderick
Given 81 Years
''Murderers at Heart,' De-
clares Judge Mcintyre
in Voicing Regret That
He Cannot Impose Death
Warns Future Offenders
Urges Legislature to Make
First Degree Robbery
: Punishable by Execution

Raymond Rodriguez and Adrano AL
varez Herra, Spanish sailors, who broke
into the rooms Of Aloysius B. Brod-
erlck and his wife at the Hotel Knick-
erbocker in December last, beat Mr..
Frederick with hammer and stabbed
him, trussed up Mrs. Broderlck with a
rope and then made off with $4,000 in
money and jewels, were sentenced to
hfty-two years and six months each at
hard labor in states prison yesterday.
Judge Mc1ntyres in General Sessions,
passed sentence on the Spaniards, who
had pleaded guilty to first degree
burglary, as second offenders, week
ago, when he discovered that they were
STIMULATING illness in Bellevue Hospi-
tai and forced them to trial.
In case of this kind the court
should have the discretion to impose
the death penalty" said Judge McIn-
tyre, explaining the severity of the
punishment. II am sure the Legis-
lature will take cognizance of this
courts remarks on this point.
These defendants are the vilest
scoundrels that ever came before me.
Both were murderers at heart
Tense to which the Spaniards pleaded
guilty is life Imprisonment, but Judge
Mcintyre said that with Communication
for good behavior they would have
served less on life sentence than on
the terms he imposed.
The Legislature, said Judge McIn-
tyre. should make first degree robbery
and burglary punishable by death. He
added:
There are too many burglaries each
night, and they are not the fault Of
the Police Department, whose members
are doing their best am going to do
all | can to rid the city of such men,
I'm each instance where such men
come before me I am going to impose
the severest penalty possible This
may be regarded as harsh: But TIN
Court feels that it owes a duty to the
people of the State of New York. 1t must
be remembered that this complainant
hovered between life and death for
time, and that the defendant might
very we'll have been here to-day to be
sentenced to die in the electric chair"
Judge Mcintyre commended Patrol
man Martin Myers, Of the West Forty
seventh Street police station, who ar
rested the two Spaniards as they were
escaping from the hotel. He also COM
plimented Patrolman William HAYDEN.
Of Hoboken, who arrested Herrs there
last May.

Hundreds i'm Peril
In Tenement Fires
Laid to Incendiary
Boy Leads Three Women to
Safety When Trapped by
Smoke; Fifth Avenue
Blaze Endangers Family

Early morning fires in New York yes
terday drove hundreds Of thinly-clad
tenants into the streets, kept firemen
on the Jump for several hours and
caused considerable property damage.
Two cellar fires in tenement houses
on the East Side sent about 500 hun
dred persons rushing helter skelter
into the street. The first East Side fire
was in the eight-story house at 209
and 211 Forsyth Street. occupied by
hfty-six families and said to be the
largest tenement structure in the city
The second East Side blaze was in
six-story tenement at 78 Forsyth
Street. An investigation is now being
conducted to determine the cause of
both fires. They are both believed to
be Of incendiary origin.
AT o'clock yesterday morning Mrs.
Gussie Glickman, living on the first
floor Of the building at 209 and 211
Forsyth Street, was baking cakes. She
smelled smoke and aroused the janitor
and his wife. In short time all the
tenants swarmed down stairs and into
the street. Quick work by the firemen
prevented the blaze from spreading,
only the cellar being damaged by the
flames.
The blaze at 78 Forsyth Street also
had its origin in the cellar Although
tho tenants were aroused in time to
escape, they found it difficult to get out
Of the housee because of the dense
smoke that billowed upward through
the building. One hundred persons live
in the house.
The similarity Of the frcs led Of
ficials yesterday to express the belief
that the blazes were the work of a
f1rebug.
Almost score Of tenants were driven
from their beds at S o'clock yesterday
morning when flames swept through a
four-story brownstone tenement at 1923
Ninth Avenue. When James Toussient,
fifteen years old, living with his grand
mother, Mrs. Mary ODonnell, on the
second floor, heard the call of "Fire!"
he opened the door of the apartment
and saw flames shooting through the
stairway from the first floor. He real
lied that escape by means of the stair
way was impossible, 81 he rushed to
the rear of the second floor to the
apartment Of Mrs. Katherine Graham
and her niece, Miss Helen Fogarty. He
led them through the smoke to his own
apartment, from which he assisted the
three women over the cornice to the
adjoining tenement at 826 Ninth Ave-
nna. The damage done at this building
was estimated at $5,000.
George Henry Warren, an attorney,
and his wife and son were aroused by a
fire early yesterday at their home, 924
Fifth Avenue. The blaze was confined
to ventilator pipe extending from a
gas range.

Fifty-three years ago James A. Gill

Day before yesterday, after working
faithfully six days week, fifty weeks
year since then, James Gilmore
climbed down from his stool, put his
eye shade and pens away in the drawer
as he had done $1,000 times before,
changed his shiny Office jacket for his
street clothes and then went home and
killed his wife, Anna. and probably
himself. He turned on the gas.
His friends say that the adding of
endless columns of figures; the dreary,
unexciting, precise life he had been
forced to lead, broke him and drove
him out Of his mind. He was the old

had spent all except the last year of
