First teamed of Death of Miser
Uucle Through Report of News-
; . , paper. '-
New York, Jan. 20-J, Edward Boeck
serving a term of six years in Sing Sing
prison for a $250,000 jewelry swindle,
first learned yesterday that he ia an
heir to an estate of f 1,000,000 .leffbf
his miser nnsle. -
The convict's kinsman J. jC. Lonns-
berry, died in St. Paul on January 12
with all the appearance of abject pov
erty. He was seven ty years old.
Among his effects were found securi
ties and bonds worth a fortune.
The prisoner was standing on the edge
of his bunk, so deep'y engrossed in a
volume of 'Plutarch's Lives" that he
failed to see the warden standing at the
door -or the paper pushed half way
through the bars. '
'Boeck." Called the warden, "have
you an uncle named Lounsberry?"
''Yes," said the convict, startled
from his preoccupation, "has he come
to see me?"
For answer the warden hr.nded Boeck
the paper, and pointed to the story said,
'Read that."
He took the paper languidly, but as
he glanced at the first words that had
come to him from the outside world in
some weeks he became agitated. The
paper crinkled in his shaking hands as
he stepped to the slit of a window fer
better light. He read it twice without
a word, the only sound that broke the
deathlike stillness coming from the
rattling of the newspitper. Then he re
turned to his bunk. The pper dropped
to the floor nd us the man's head drop
ped, a hopeless, helpless look settled
over hip face.
A year and a half of prison life has
robbed the once debonair art lover of
none of its polish. He entered ihe war
den's sun flooded office yesterday morn
ing with the confident bearing of a
courtier. With dignity he naked if tht)
story of his uncle s death was true;
there was no inqjiry about the legicy.
lie was assured there was no room for
doubt.
