PHELPS FARMER HELD UP IN HOME BY MASKED BURGLAR WITH KNIFE
Screams of Women Who Heard the Commotion Frighten Intruder Away-
No Clue as Yet
Phelps, Dec. 31 - Oscar WHITNEY, a (unreadable) years old, who
lives near Oaks Corners, three miles east of Phelps, was held up in his own home
by a lone masked robber at an early hour this morning.
Mr. WHITNEY was aroused by a slight noise in his room about 4:30
o'clock and as he reached up to turn on the gas, he beheld a man wearing a mask
and carrying a dimly lighted lantern, flourishing a butcher knife. The robber
commanded Mr. WHITNEY to "shell out" and as the victim arose from the
bed evidently to resist he was attacked by the intruder.
Miss L__ WHITNEY, the victim's daughter, and Mrs. PEARCE, occupying
adjoining rooms were aroused by the commotion and both began to call lustily for
help. Their cries evidently frightened the burglar as he quickly released Mr.
WHITNEY and darted out of the room as soon as the other occupants were aroused.
Mr. WHITNEY reported the affair to the local authorities and within an hour
after the burglar left the house Justice CORNFORD and Officer LONEY, in C. T.
BRADLEY'S car, were on the ground.
The robber was tracked as far north as Armstrong's Corners where on
account of the condition of the roads, the automobile was unable to proceed
further. Miss WHITNEY, who got a good view of the burglar as he passed through
the room described him as short and thick set and wearing a reddish brown
overcoat.
Nothing is missing from the house except a towel which was later
found on the highway and with which, it is thought the burglar intended to gag
his victim. The mask he wore, was dropped during the scuffle but Mr. WHITNEY was
unable to recognize his assailant. The mask is now in the possession of Justice
CORNFORD and was made from a piece of blue serge.
Entrance to the house was gained through the kitchen door which had
been left unlocked. The butcher knife and lantern belonged to the WHITNEY's and
both were picked up in the kitchen by the robber.

FORMER ROCHESTER MAN SAVED
WHEN TORPEDOED LINER GOES TO BOTTOM
(photo of Charles H. Grant)
Charles H. GRANT, son of the late J. Herbert GRANT, former
assistant city engineer of Rochester, was a passenger on the Oriental liner
Persia, which was torpedoed last Thursday with heavy loss of life off the island
of Crete, in the Mediterranean. __ he and Robert N. McNEELY, American consul at
Aden; it was said in the dispatches probably were victims of the catastrophe,
but W. F. PRIZOR, a brother-in-law, who resides at Medford, Mass., received from
Mr. GRANT morning a cable message saying that he was safe at Alexandria, Egypt.
Mr. GRANT was educated in the Rochester public schools and worked
for several years for Charles BRADY in the leather business. When Mr. BRADY went
to Boston, Mr. GRANT went with him. That was six years ago. Two years later Mr.
GRANT took employment in the Boston offices of the Vacuum Oil Company, of which
Mr. PRIZER, his brother-in-law, is assistant New England manager.
That Mr. GRANT made good in his work appears from the fact that the
oil company asked him to take charge of its Indian business, with offices in
Calcutta. He sailed from New York on December 4th to begin his new work. After
having spent a week in the London offices, he left Southampton on the Persia on
December 18th for Bombay.
Mr. GRANT is about 34 years old. He has many friends in Rochester
and close relatives in this city are Mrs. Louis CHAPIN, an aunt, and Mrs. Esther
C. MARSH, of No. 137 Plymouth avenue south, Mrs. CHAPIN was advised by telegraph
yesterday noon that her nephew was safe. His mother, Mrs. J. Herbert GRANT, Mrs.
CHAPIN'S sister, now lives at Medford, Mass.
Mr. GRANT and Mr. McNEELY are supposed to have been the only
Americans on the Persia. The death of either because of the submarine attack was
expected to result again in strained relations between this country and the
Central Powers.

ROCHESTER MAN UNDER ARREST AT JAMESTOWN
Jamestown, Jan. 2 - Three men accused of having passed counterfeit
$20 bills were arrested in this city. They are Nat__ LITTARI, of Rochester;
Frank LENORT, of Glen Rock, and Jacob CARLERI, of Glen Rock.
CARLERI is said to have been caught attempting to pass one of the
bad bills on George HOLLINGER, a bartender, about 10 o'clock last night. He was
detained, until Patrolman George HARRISON arrived. By means of an interpreter,
CARLERI was led to tell where the other two men were likely to be. About 4
o'clock this morning the police went to the home of Luciana TEDESCO, No. 292
Harrison street, and there found them. All now are charged with passing
counterfeit money, and will be held to await the action of the Federal
authorities.
CARLERI when arrested had three of the counterfeit bills, and he is
said to have confessed that he had passed seventeen in the city during the day.
The men came from Rochester Saturday morning. The other two had twenty of the
bills in their possession. TEDESCO was arrested with the others, charged with
carrying a loaded revolver. All were provided with these weapons.
The bills were all of the Benjamin HARRISON issue. LITTARI, said to
be the principal bad actor, had brushes, pencils and a wax preparation with
which he had attempted to make the bills passable. Over the $5 sign a wax
"20" had been stamped. The word "Five" in the center of the
bills had not been touched, and, provided the storekeepers were not busy, would
easily have been detected.
LITTARI, carrying his clothing in his arms, attempted to escape by
a rear door of the house, but was confronted by a policeman armed with a
revolver. More than $400 in good money was found on him.

IS ENTITLED TO PART OF ESTATE OF WIFE
Charles F. Osborn Was Cut Off Without a Dollar
The validity of the claim of Charles F. OSBORN for an exemption of
about $850, of his wife's estate was sustained in a decision handed down
yesterday by Surrogate BROWN. Mrs. Catherine F. OSBORNE, the decedent, left an
estate valued at $25,000 and willed it all to her sister, Mary BAGLEY. She had
not lived with her husband for fourteen years prior to her death last spring.
OSBORNE brought a proceeding in Surrogate's Court to compel an
inventory in order to have certain parts of the estate set apart for him. The
OSBORNS separated in March, 1900, but there was no divorce. Surrogate BROWN held
that a husband and wife remain such until they are legally separated, thus
following a decision made by him in 1910, which was sustained by appellate
courts.
The written agreement signed by the OSBORNS, the Court holds, did not in, law
dissolve the relationship of husband and wife, and therefore OSBORNE is entitled
to an inventory unless his sister-in-law and he can agree as to the exemptions.
James L. GATES, who died on November 9th in Mendon, left an estate
of $6,200. His will was admitted to probate yesterday. A brother, sister,
brother-in-law and nephews and nieces share in the estate.
The will of Owen COURTNEY, who died on December 9th, was probated.
Mrs. COURTNEY will have life use of $7,000 (didn't get the rest)

WOMAN'S SEARCH FOR SON ENDED BY DEATH
Mrs. Helen M. Walsh Dies in New York
New York, Jan. 3 - Death ended to-night Mrs. Helen M. WALSH's long
search for her son. Soon after Mrs. WALSH, who was 75 years old, went to bed,
Mrs. Alice OLSEN, of No. 112 Front street, with whom she boarded, heard her
weeping. When she entered the bedroom the woman was dead.
Twelve years ago Frank P. WALSH left his home in Rochester. His
mother never ceased trying to find him and several times reached a town only to
learn that he had left a day or two before. She came to New York to look for a
river pilot known as "Frank I." This time she felt sure of success.
Weary and discouraged, she told Mrs. OLSEN to-night that her search would soon
end. A doctor said grief and disappointment had broken her heart.

Mrs. Helen M. WALSH lived with her daughter, Mrs. William W. LEWIS,
at No. 106 High street, this city. Mrs. LEWIS left for New York last evening.
According to Helen, Mrs. LEWIS' 12-year-old daughter. Frank WALSH lived with his
mother until about two years ago.

girl, "and Frank lived with her until then. Since then she has had his
address and has written to him. He said he was on a tug boat.
