Unti) six months ago, when a severe fail left her a bed-ridden cripple, “Mamma” Griese was known to all her neighbors a thrifty German housewife. Now she is unab!e to do the cooking for “Papa” Griese, who is a street car conductor. The other day two men entered the room where the crippled “Mamma” lay in her bed. They spoke roughly to her and frightened the poor old lady severety. Then they rummaged through closets and cup boards until they came upon a tin box. This they opened, and after examining Its contents they took it with them. Refore leaving, however, one of them commanded her to go into the kitchen, She made them under stand that she was a helpless cripple, unable to move, whereupon the men dragged her to the kitchen, turned on the gas stove and left her lying ‘on the floor. The poor old lady, unable to rise and turn off the gas, finally managed to drag herself across the floor until she reached a pencil. She wrote, “In case 1} should die, I have been robbed.” “Mamma” Griese didn’t die. A neiglbor smelled gas and called police. But what was almost as catastrophic to her as death itself was the fact that in that little tin box that the robbers carted away reposed $1000 worth of jewelry and $11,500 in bills, the Grieses’ life sayings, with which they had in-/ tended to buy a home?
