UKULELE CLUE TO THEFT
IN GREATER NEW YORK
Pilferer Arrested Playing Music After Freight Car
Had Been Robbed on Side Track.
Traced by the sound of a ukulele he was playing,
Dennis Murphy was held in $300 bail yesterday by
Magistrate Thomas F. McAndrews in the West Side
Court, New York.
The complaint, charging petit larceny, was made
by Walter Porett, special officer of the New York
Central Railroad. As he was making his rounds in
the yards at 104th street and Eleventh avenue, he
said he came on a freight car which had been broken
open. A case of ukuleles and mandolins had been
smashed, and the instruments were strewn on the
Moor of the car.
While the officer was inspecting the damage, he
said, he heard the sound of a ukulele and ha followed
it until he came upon Murphy, walking as if inspired
by the sweet sounds he was evoking and thumming
the instrument. He also had three other instruments
in his perambulating music store.
RAUS MIT 'EM.
The caller came in brusquely,
He did not take a chair;
He took the piano and folding bed,
For that's why he was there.
