''Blind' Beggar Resents
Offerings of Pennies
Detective Rebuked for Gift of
Lead Dime Finds Arm Is
ssWourdefl,s With Ink


A blue-goggled man, one of whose
sleeves showed red-stained bandage
where his hand should have been, sat
on the Third Avenue curb near 108th
Street last night silently inviting such
dole as the sign: "Please Help Me L
Am Blind" might bring forth.
Detective Rinchey watched him with
interest which was itensiiled by the
lurid language with which the sightless
beggar greeted pennies which were
given him. The detective was suspi-
cious of the ease with which the mendi-
cant recognized the humble coins with
out even touching them. Rinches
sauntered up himself and dropped q
lead dime into the extended hat.
Hey" cried the indignant beggar
before Rinchey had gone two steps,
come back here! That dime amt no
good!"
Rinchey went back and arrested the
man, who said he was Daniel Nolan, of
Is Catherine Street. He proved to have
sound eyes and sound hands, the ex-
hibition bandage being stained with
red ink. In night court he said that
some friends must have played joke
on him when he was drunk, because
he had no idea how he happened to
be begging. AS his record revealed FIVE
similar jokes, however, Magistrate Sill
herman sent him to the workhouse for
ninety days.
