The Astonishing Crimes of a Well] to Do Young Man in South- bridge, Mass, A strange case is that of Alfred E. Morton, under arrest In Southbridge, Mass., foraserios of burglaries, thefts and petty larcenles. For months the people cf the town have b:en victimizad, the work cf the thlef having included about everything, from breaking and en- tering a house to cutting down clothes lines. Flowor gardens and greenhouses have also sufferad extecsively. Althongh the lozal police did thelr bes’, aud oat- side asistancs was called in, no clue was discovered until Wednesdsy afternoon. Then T. J. Harrington, who hes lost a number of valaable plan‘s, recoguiz:d some of them growlng in Mcrtons well- cared-for garden. The same n'ght some one entered a pool-room in the center of the town aud stole a desk containing over $100 in cash. Later the desk was ound on fire in an alleyway in the rear of the Pablic Library Building. Boys who wero lounging in the pool-room were poaltive that they saw Morton, who is known all over town as “‘Chub,” leavlog thesaloon with the desk under his arm. The necessary papers were procured, and Morton was arccated. His house was searched and a moss astonishing find, even to Southbrldge people who thought they knew all about the thofts, way ths result. There were many rare plaute, some of which had been broken up snd thrown into the rubbish pile, & trunk filled with an exteative and elegant ae- sortment of ladies hose, property lost by drummers who had visited the town; sllver spoons stolen from the exprees compsny; children’s stockings; a market- man's hamper packed with high priced cloth; houss rags, partially worn; ariicles of wearing apparel belonging to the ladies and gentiemen In varlous parts of the town, & shot gan, table and bed lin- en—in all more than $500 worth of prop- erty, neatly a'l of which has bean iden- tified as having been faken from persons in town. Much that bas been stolen within the past few weeks is yet uudis- covered It was astonlshivg how many people visited the house of Morton after the search had begun, representatives of nearly every famiiy 'ng in an appear- ance in quest of missing articles, and hundreds gathering out of curloslty. Morton was arraigned in court or Fri- day, and was held for trial in $5000 bonds, which were prompily furnished. 1o the evening he was on the sireet as usual, drlving a trotting horse, ¢f which he 1s the owner. “Chub” Morton, Is the only son of Lorenz) Morton, one of the solid men of the town, who ls estimated to be worth from $50,000 to $100,000. He was for mnny!' ars the proprietor of a clothing store, in which most of his wealth was ac- cumulated, but for a number of years past he has been a gentloman of lelsure, always having money to loan on good security and specalating considerably in real estate. Father aud son live on ad- jolning estates nesr tho center of the town, The yonnfi wan is about twenty- five yoars old. He was born snd hus always lived in the town, and was for some time clerk in his father’s store, but since thal closed has had no reg- ular employment. He has never been regarded as a bad boy. He has been a frequenter of the fifteen-ball posl rocms and the skating rink, but bas never spent money 8o freely as to attract atteutlon, Although the evidence agalnst Morton 13 regarded a8 concluslve, the people of the town are at a loss to understand the case. Young Morton has never wanted for anything, and the burglarles and thefta have not been commited with a view of securing money or goods which could be turned Into money. In fa sttempt bas ever be:n mads to dlapo them, as far as the pollce have been able to dlscover, Morton simply stowing them Much ¢f thy pioperiy in his own house. found on his premises, which has been idsntified, by othera ss atolen from them, ha very little value it any. slmply bzen a tool in the hands of others, and that they have taken the more valu- able articles and cisposed of them. To asceria'n Jf there is any foundatien for auch belief the case has biea coutinued to sll.w aniavestiga'lon, but it is not bo- Jioved that any ench cordition of affairs will be discovered, as none of the partles whose L oases have been robbed clalmed to have lost avything of greater value than the articles found ia Morton’s house, The greatest compl int from the outset has been of the annoyance caused by the thefts rather thaa the amount of the pecunlary lose. e Little fammy Tilden, Albany Express, There 18 a young lad at the Belvedere house who bears 0 striklng a lkeness to the sge of Greystone—althouglh: & youth- fal portralt, of course—that he 18 known to all the habitues of the houss by the name of Sammy Tilden. He heppened to be #o christened In th!s wise: One cold winter's night s gay party had as- assembled within the walls of the houte above mentioned and made merry the houor until the brilliant aurors began to be visablo in the esst. The lad in ques- tion had fallen asleap dariog the merry- making of the party, and oddly enough, eat upon an empty beer keg near tho reglster. Alderman Jerry Klely, who s a wag of the first water, noted the resemblance of the sleplog boy to the wily sage—even to the sweet assuring smile—and forthwith stealing ellently over to where the lad waa reposine, chalked In large dittinct characters upon the ilttle *‘barl” th« tallsmauic emblem $.
