Bronx Man Is Sitting on In
truder When Police and Fire
men Reach Scene.
I Jacob Klelnman. despite his fifty
i years, has a brawny arm, a keen
eye and a quick car, and he used
them nil early to-day In capturing:
1 an alleged burglar nt his home. No.
1135 Intervale Avenue, Bronx. Ills
j home Is Irss than a block fronvSlmp
l ion Street Polico Station, and only
a few ''nm the quarters of
Fn-' ..nv No. 82.
M. to-dav Klelnman, who
ep with his wife on tho
. ground floor of tho house, was
'.roused by what he thought was a
window being closed. Ho struck a
"ntcli but saw nothing suspicious In
n room. He passed Into the ad
tnlng room In which his twelve-
. ar-old son wns sleeping and struck
another match.
The boy was all right, but near
him was n lump about tho size of a
man under tho covers. Klelnman
pulled off the blankets and a man
leaped out at him. , A battle started
that aroused Mrs. Klelnman and tho
boy, nnd they added their cries for
help to tho thump of fists and tbo
overturning und splintering of fur
niture. Tho llrf'tnnn on duty in Kngluo 82'a
quarters heard tho commotion and
sounded the gong, and In a short
time firemen came sliding down tho
IK)lo und ran for the scene of battle.
The polico station also wus aroused
and Detective Haslett and a squad
ot policemen were hurried out to In
vestigate. By the time policemen, firemen
and scores of neighbors reached the)
house, Klelnman had given bis ad
versary a Bound beating and was
sitting an him. The police say the)
man had opened a window ,,f tlcln
mun's bedroom, climbed In and clewed
It. He left his shoes In a wagon
stored In the yard. A curious fcutur
was that In tho wagon, near tha
shoes, was a mirror blent. Mod by
Klelnman as having been taken from
his room. How tho nlleged burglar
got It out of the bouse he duln'tj
explain, as he denied he went In to
commit a crime. He said he got In
by mlstnke.
Tho prisoner described himself an
Benjamin Kramer, thirty, a peddler,
of No. 917 Kant 105th Street Tho
police say he admitted later ,t wa
only the nddrrss of Ills uncle.
