WHO ITAS NADE Ills THIRD VISIT To
PARSONAGE OF ST. PAUL’S CHURCH
THE REV. LOUIS B. HOWELL IS INCENSED
“Hanging Too Good for Man of His Calibre,” Says
One—Advocates the “Law of Judge Lynch”.—
‘ Warm Reception Bem' g Prepared
Doing his work in the dark hours of the night, a man, of who‘ll:
no accurate description can be obtained, has been perceived peeping
into the windows of the home of Rev. Louis B. Howell, rector of St.
Paul ’3 Episcopal church.
Three times in ten days the “Peeping Tom” has been discovered
at his vile trade but has always managed to make good his escape,
and to leave no clue to his identity.
Last night was his third trip to the parsonage and he was seen
by Dr. Howell, who gave chase to the man for several blocks, but was
unable to overtake him. Dr. Howell and his wife are incensed at the
actions of theman and plans are made to giverhim a warm reception
should he appear on the scene again.
The local police department is actively engaged in the hunt for
the man and‘no stone is being left unturned that will lead to his
identity and capture.
Mrs. Howell, when interviewed about the actions of the man
would give no other statement than “she hoped that he would be
speedily caught and placed in prison so that his actions would be at
an end.”
Interest in the case is growing to a high pitch and trouble is
in store for “Peeping Tom” if hols captured. One citizen forcibly
expressed his thoughts as follows, “Hanging is too good for a man
of his calibre. If he were caught doom below the Mason-Dixon lino
he would be a speedy victim to the law of Judge Lynch.”
