Youthful Desperadoes.
Three Young Dime Novel Heroes-Tex
as or Blood-A Singular Story
of Crime.
The Women.
The arrest on last Wednesday night of the
three youths by the police of the Thirty-second
District of New York City, has had the effect of
clearing up the mysterious shooting and attempt
ed robbery of Mr. Thomas Lynn, at the corner
of Central avenue and One Hundred and Seven
ty-first street, on Sunday, May 19th. The man
ner in which the arrests were made is also some
what strange. A policeman crossing McComb’s
Dam Bridge, towards Seventh avenue, on Wed
nesday evening, saw two lads who acted rather
suspiciously. One of them named Adolph Bal
dsmeeder, who is sixteen years old, carried a
large bundle. His companion was Ferdinand
Frey, who is two years older, and who resides at
No. 1? Orchard street. The officer asked them
where they were going with the bundle. Balds-
meeder said a farmer- had paid them to take it
to a neighbor. The policeman took the bundle
and perceived that it contained boy’s clothes
which smelled musty. Seeing a small bundle
under Frey’s vest, the officer look it out and
found that it contained an undershirt, which al
so had a musty smell. The lads were confused
and were unable to answer any enquiries. This
induced the policeman to look further, and he
was rewarded by finding a heavy policeman’s
club and a loaded seven-barrelled revolver con
cealed about Frey’s person, and another club on
the person of Baldsmeeder.
On the way to the station-house Baldsmeeder
broke out with, ‘Oh, it! I’ve got to swing
sometime, anyhow, and I might as well squeal
now as ever. Cop, I’m the fellow that shot Lynn;
that’s who I am. You didn’t know who you had
grabbed. You feel all-fired big now, don’t you ?’
Upon arriving at the station he said he had an
other companion named Fritz Wagner, of Mel
rose avenue and One Hundred and Fifty-sixth
street. Wagner, who is sixteen years old was
sent for and arrested while in bed. The three
lads were] arraigned before Justice Murray at
the Jefferson Market Police Court on Thursday.
They were identified by Mr. Lynn as his assail
ants. Baldsmeeder was committed for trial in
default of $1000 bail, on a charge of felonious
assault and battey. His companions were com
mitted to the House of Detention.
Baldsmeeder after his commitment made a full
confession of his crime to aTimes reporter. He
attributed his unfortunate condition to the in
fluence exerted on him by reading dime novels,
for which he hnd a passion. His desire was to
make a fortune on the road, after the manner of
the dime-novel heroes, and Texas, he thought,
was the place to do it. So he left his aunt’s
house four months ago in order to earn money
enough to pay his way to Texas. He first ob
tained employment in Henry Seitz’s restaurant,
at Broad and Beaver streets. The wages of eight
dollars per month were too small however, and
he left. He determined to give up work, becom
ing convinced that if he depended on his earn
ings to go to Texas he would be an old man ‘be
fore he got there. Frey and Wagner were taken
by him into his confidence. Then he told all
his plans, and he pressed them to join with him;
He pictured the life of a highwayman in glow
ing colors. They were captivated by his descrip
tions, and all three swore an awful oath to be
highwaymen; to be true to one another, never to
betray one another in trouble nor cross one an
other in love affairs, and each to suffer death at
the hands of the others upon violation of any of
their sworn vows. They swore to the vow with
bare heads in Fleetwood park one day, each one
holding in his uplifted hand a keen-edged dag
ger made rtf a fine steel file. They selected
Baldsmeeder as their leader, and he agreed to
give them a lesson in their new life by attacking
and robbing the first person he came across,
who was likely to have enough money with him
to pay their expenses to Texas. Baldsmeeder
then went to the pawn-shops looking for a good
gun and pistol. Ferdinand and Fritz then told
Baldsmeeder that they would follow him any
where. He took them to the neighborhood of
Fleetwood Park, and led them across the inter
vening fields into the lane, and they sat down
under some bushes directly opposite O’Brien’s
gate. They made up their minds to go to work
at once, and made the necessary preparations.
Three persons passed, one at a time. Adolph
scrutinized each one carefully, and pronounced
them all ‘X. G.’ Finally he saw Mr. Lynn com
ing down the hill from O’Brien’s house. ‘I saw
that fellow put a big wallet in his inside vest
pocket,' said Adolph to his companions, ‘and if
he pans out when he gets here we’ll go for Texas
at once.’ Lynn came out of the gate. Adolph
saw that he wore a heavy gold watch chain. He
went up to him and asked what time it was, and
when Mr. Lynn told him, he quickly drew his
revolver and pointing it at Lynn’s breast de
manded his money. Baldsmeeder fired three
shots at Mr. Lynn, one of the bullets lodging in
a heavy memorandum-book carried by him, the
second forcing in a heavy suspender buckle
fagainst which it struck, and the third passed
hrough the fleshy part of the left leg, under
the knee. O’Brien, who heard the shooting, and
Lynn’s cries for help, came running along, and
the assailant and his companions fled.
Had it not been for the fortuitous circum
stance which by accident led to the arrest of the
three dime-novel heroes on Wednesday night,
there is no doubt but that the mystery attending
the attempted murder of Mr. Lynn would have
ever remained a mystery.

We stepped into a milliner shop the other day

put iu shape and it just took her fancy; it was

AN ANECDOTE OF LISZT.
How He Aided a Poor Girl Who Went About
Earning Her living by Piano Playing
A young pianist was giving concerts through
the provinces of Germany for her support, and
to enhance her reputation she advertised herself
as a pupil of Liszt. In a little town in the inte
rior of Germany, where she had announced a
concert, she was confounded the day before the
concert was to take place by seeing in the list of
arrivals, and at the very hotel where the concert
was to be given, ‘M. L’Abbe Liszt.’ Here wa3
a dilemma, and what to do she knew not. Her
fraud would be discovered; she would be expos
ed; she could never give another concert; she
was ruined. Tremblingly she sought the pres
ence of the great maestro, determined to make a
clean breast of it and cast herself on his mercy.
Coming into his room with downcast eyes, she
knelt at the old man’s feet, and with many tears
told her story—how she had been left an orphan,
and poor, and only her one gift of music with
which to support herself; the difficulties she had
encountered until the fraudulent use of his name
had filled her rooms and her purse. ‘Well,
well,’ said the great man, gently raising her up,
* let us see my child what we can do. Perhaps it
is not as bad as you thought. There is a piano;
let me hear one of the pieces you expect to play
to-morrow evening.’ Tremblingly she obeyed,
the maestro making comments and suggestions
as she played, and when she had finished he
added: Now, my child, I have given you a
lesson; you are a pupil of Liszt.’ Before Bhe
could find words to express her gratitude, Liszt
asked: ‘Are your programmes printed ? ’‘No sir,’
was the answer, ‘not yet.’ Then say you will be
assisted by your master, and that the last piece
on the programme will be played by the Abbe
Liszt*

least good. He might better have taken the Q Kts Pawns
getting two Pawns in addition to the piece which he must
exchange to capture. Still, the Bishop threatened the
Pawn seriously.
(j) A move which gives Black a hint to strengthen his
pesition. Strange to say he does it.
(k) Well done, lawyer Swank, as Stannton says of
Morphy’s games with Thompson at the odds of Kt. If
he had only played like this all the time his opponent
wonld not have scored a single game, which some peo
ple call logic.

immediately mating if it ia moved (R to B j isn’t bad
though) or if Q S3, R to Kt 2, aud must win the Rook, or
three Pawns on Queen’s side.

Preserving Corpses.
To the Citizens of Atlanta, and Surrounding Citiet and
Villages, and to Undertakers in Particular :
Now that warm weather has commenced, and all of us
are continually exposed to sickness and death, I would
say to you, gentlemen, that I have in store a full supply
of Egyptian Balm, which is a sure and effective corpse
preserver. Anybody can administer it, and it makes the
use of Ice useless. One bottle of Egyptian Balm does
more towards preserving a corpse than any amount of
Ice you may be able to procure; keeps it life-like and
natural, to which hundreds of oar own citizens can tes
tify. Call on me before the corpse becomes rigid, or as
soon as death has taken place, and I will guarantee to
keep the corpse for any length of time you wish. Refer
ences given from first families in the city. Office and
ware-rooms, No. 26 West Alabama street, Atlanta, Ga.
