Rob House In Newton Few Hours
After Break

BOSTON, Dec Il. Harry Berwin,
variously known as the 'we,.sel burglar"
and the Wandering Jew" who yester-
day escaped from the state prison at
Charlestown, in a packing box. five and
a half hours later was trapped breaking
and entering house in Newton and he
was back at the prison in time for sup
per.
1t was the same offence for which he
has at different times spent more than
ID years in prison and it was committed
within Il stones throw of one of the
breaks which resulted in his most recent
prison sentence. Miss Josephine Ire
land, who from her home across the
street noticed the man tugging at a eel
lar window, was responsible for his cap

been searching the city and had sta
toned special guards at the train and
freight yards to prevent his departure
from Boston.

Wife" Tips Workman $40 for
Allowing Him TO Cross.

been done nights the past 10 days or more,
will be completed tonight by the highway
department under the direction Of Road
Commissioner Charles J. Dube 4 new
floor has been laid and where needed new
timbers to support the floor have been
put in. \ majority of these supporting
timbers have been replaced with new
ones.
1t has been known generally that the
bridge was closed nights, but in emer-
gency cases planks have been laid so that
automobiles could cross. In one case of
this kind the driver of an automobile left
his car north of the bridge and told Wal
lace Harris. who was in charge of the
work at that time. that his wife was i'll
in the car and he was in hurry to take
her to the Brooks House. where she could
be attended by physician. Pianking
was laid down and the man put his hand
in Mr.. Harris's Uvercoat pocket
The car was driven across the bridge
in anything but careful manner, and
those who saw it had a feeling that if
there was sick woman inside their guess
was wrong. When the stranger had gone
Mr.. Harris felt i'm his coat pocket and
found a ten-dollar hill.
