“WHITE FRONT” BURGLAR DIES OF BULLET WOUND Girl Pal of Wandlass, Awaiting * Sentence, Hears Tidings Without a Tremor. FASCIN ATED BY CRIME. Precocious Youth and ‘Chicken Stall’ Studies for Psychologists. Death has ended career of Thom- Ge Wandiass, the “white front’ bure lar, who wae shot on the night De Sas he was by eaking into the Home of Thomas Tapley, a Passaic eontractor. He died las night in 8 Mary's Hospit Pagsate, from blood polsoning. ‘The wound was not deep and at first did mot seem dangerous. Sepocis developed suddenly and the Man's vocal chords became paralyzed, Consequently the police could not draw 4 word from him concerning his amaz- Ing career. Thomas Wandlags, alias “KK{1" How- ar, alias Thomas Hanley, preferred tho underworld to a luxurious home and the tender ministrations of a font Mother. He devel from a sort of “angel child” erate a yours criminal as rd of. Atter serving terms in half av dozen Hrisons he emerged as daring a robber @s ever, and was engaged in a baffling series of burglaries with a pretty young Ritl accomplice when he got his mortal hurt Girl P=!

She was serving as “lookout” when Wand- Yass was shot and made a desperate effort to hte the wounded burglar from s about thirty years old. Mrs. Augustus F. Berner, 8 Cumberland street, Brookls 48 a Woman of wealth and reflnement. Her first husband, Wandlass, was 9 D9tel proprietor and well to do. He left & comfortable fortune, and when he ied his son, Tom, was a model youngster, seemingly, aod a great favorite in the Bushwick Avenue Bap- ust Church, Brooklyn He was preco- gious and high strung. He had a vivil AMagigation. While still in knicker- Dockers he met a young criminal who fijed hig, mind, with thriiting, stories of the under-world. irs. Berner does not know at fust what period her son was transformed inte a ‘bad man." He ran away from @ boarding schoo! when he was about seventeen years old, and the first his mother heard from him was that he was the companion of thieves. He was never quite what might be called a Raffles, except that he dresved well and committed many of his burglaries while laditn evening clothes. Fascinated by the Danger. The police called him a “supper worker” and a “dress sult burstar.” He ed Himael? a. “white front” which implied the dress suit. did not invent “supper working, improved on it. Furthermore, fing to Jean Mitchell, he was fascinated by the danger of “turning a siough” @which means to rob) tn a house while there were many persons about. Often he would stop to listen to the dinner chatter before maxing his escape. He generally selected a dark or dimly Lighted parlor, nolselessiy jimmied the window and climbed During the Months that the young a with him, he relied up. to help him out of a tight place by a tain ede called it, a crowd while he made This prett ame absolutely mened to the business, of burglary rhile she was the ton of Wind- ss.

But she was not the only young gtr who had worked with Tom Windlass. Ne had hed a train of “chicken stalls one, ie admitiod to Jean Mitchell, a up to her class.” None had her nerve, her xood looks, her genius as a actress, She could look a “lady's par which was of supreme importance. And all the wille he had a wife and child living. While serving a seven-year term tn the Charlestown Prison he mar- ried Maizle Coyle, who was at one tine khown as tv "Belle of Moncoe stree:.” He joined Maizte Coyle Wandlass after he got out of prison and went to live with her on Long Isiand, He made an- other of his many promises to his mother that he would r n. But after @ month of the “simple life’ he and his wife parted, He could not resist the lure of the cracksman's trade, He could have had ample funds from his mother had he re- mained honest. But he preferred the danger, the risks, the hairbreadth es- capes. When informed of her “pal's" death to-day Jean Mitchell revealed the as- tounding stolcism of her character, She 4{d not blanch or permit so much as a tremor to shake her little body, Her light hazel eyes did not dim with the suggestion of a tear, All she sald was “T expected It, I guess better off at that. A little while afterward, however, a turnkey noticed that she was being shaken by an agony of dry sobs, The girl {8 undoubtedly abnormal in her Spartan self-control, but underneath it all there is the woman, Wandiass's mother to-day claimed his body. She told County Physloian Arm- strong and the hospttal authorities that she had seen her son only four times fn the Inst ten years, the last time be- ing when he lay dying on a cot in the Hospital, She gave orders to have the ody prepared for burial and sent to her Brooklyn hon w pleaded guflty In| | That Before-Dinner Grouch | an Eternal Wrecker of Do- | mestic Peace, and the Fairy: Story Delinquent Is an Abom- | | ination in the Sight of a Lov-| | ing Spouse. | | But There's Her‘Rolling” and Her Weeps That Deluge Bliss | Out of the Home, and, Worst of All, Her Proclamation That ' He’s “ Easy.” i By | | The new year is} upon us, and that| hardy annual, the, New Year's reso- lution, {s once more getting) ready to flower.
