STEALS 50 HE CAN
 DIE IN SING SING
l1'm Getting Pretty Old NoV,"
 Says Habitual Criminal

New York, Nov. 19.--The oldest policeman on the force, and the youngest, too, for that matter knows for the last 40 years gravitated be- tween the lower east side and Sing Sing, was petty thief, and hard luck one, too. Year after year he faced the judges, his tall figure stoop- ing just bit more, age cross hatch ing few more lines into his wizened face and his clothes just bit more mussed and dirty. He knew more about the inter-cell communication at Sing Sing than he did how to write his name. Each time his mustache was frosted just bit winter.
 Sometimes he had quite bit of money, but most of the time he didn't. Easy come and easy go was his motto.
 A short time ago Big Ben wss 7S years old. Winter was coming on; pickings were not so easy as they had been and there was always that chance that some younger victim would bash his head in. He couldn't run so fast as in the old days either.
 So yesterday Ben set out to get a permanent home, not having had an address in 7S years. s4
 He walked into the hardware store of Nate Waxburg, at 746 Ludlow street, near Grand, and, waiting until Mates eyes were on him, grabbed a package of hardware and slowly walked out, Nate caught him before he had gone 1 yards
 At the Clinton Street station they sent down Detectives Rosenberg and Hayes, who immediately recognized Ben as thief with police record as long as your arm.
 ] s"Helo, Ben" said Detective Hayes What's the big idea?"
 Well, Jack" replied Ben, surren- dering the ss0 package of nonde- script hardware junk, I'm getting pretty old now. Hope the judgeIl give me a life stretch up the river. want to die in Sing Sing"
 His only regret seemed to be that the theft didn't come within the grand larceny mark.
 Life's too tough" he told the at Clinton street, Here am, an old man an I aint got a lime. Whats it all about. anyway?"
 It is Big Ben's desire to go back md live with Warden Lewis F. 4awes, who is an old acquaintance.
