POLITE BURGLAR ADMIRED BABY ““Bov or Girl?” He Asked the | Frightened Mother. | | “I'll Return This $2 As Soon As | Make a Stake. } New-York, Feb. 7.—‘‘What a pret-| ty baby! It’s a shame to rob a} house where there is such a pretty child. Is it a boy or a girl” | These remarks were addressed to | Mrs. J. R. Wright, who cowered in bed in her home in Jersey City. The person who addressed her was a bur- glar, believed to be one of the same polite pair who robbed the Hockesin Bayonne the night before, and whose amazed behavior was told of in the Post-Dispatch yesterday. This last tine he wore a raglan overcoat and | had a black silk handkerchief tied | around the lower part of the face As he spoke he held a revolver close to Mrs. Wright's face. The baby was her 9-month-old son, who was in his mother’s arms, and who was star- ing interestedly at the glittering bar- rel of the pistol and extending one chubby fist toward it as if he wanted to grasp the weapon, A second gentlemanly burglar, masked like the other, meantime held a pistol at Mr. Wright's head. Mr, Wright's bed adjoined his wife's, Bo- side him was his 6-year-old son, Edward, who stared at the burglars, but made no whimper. an s A third burglar, also masked, was holding a revolver at the head of Edward Beakey, Mrs. Wright's brother, who slept in an adjoining room, The burglars had lighted the gas in the two rooms and had demanded all the money there was in the house. But they were excessively polite in their—demands—and— apologies, deploring the necessity that caused them to act as they did. “Yes, that is certainly acute child” resumded the burglar who stood near Mrs. Wright. “Boy or girl, did you say?” “Boy,” faintly responded Mrs. Wright, who had been too frighten ed to answer the cracksman’s polite queries, * “IT trust he will grow up to be a credit to you and that he won't turn out as bad as I have,” said the burg- lar. “But to get back to the point again. Where do you keep your money? We must be geing and you must speak up, quick.” “We haven’t any money in the house,” said Mrs. Wright, and her husband corroborated her. Then, while two of the men kept their revol- vers leveled at the two men—and— the woman the third searched the losets and bureau... They purse containing $2 but overlooked Mr. Wrights gold watch and $50 which were in clothing hanging far back in a closet, and missed also a jewel case containing several hundred dollars worth of jewelry. “Aren't you the same men who rob- bed Julius ©. Hoche’s house last night in Bayonne” asked Mr. Wright. “Lt isn’t polite to ask questions,” responded the burglar. “We're go- ing now, and if any of you give an alarm we'll conie back and shoot you all.” Then the burglar in the raglan said to Mrs. Wright: ‘We're really sorry to have intrud- ed in this way. We had to do it to raise money to get out of town. And as soon as | find a job l’ll return this $2. Now, if you don’t scream or raise any outcry you have nothing to fear.” Then he shook hands with Mrs. Wright, and then they backed to the door and disappeared. A Wichita Man Found Dead.
