Manchester Burglar Murdered by 
Pals in Boston. 
William J. Welsh, who was mur- 
dered, presumably by his pals, in 
South Boston last Sunday, is well 
known to the Manchester police. 
[It appears that he is the same man 
who burglarized Mrs. William Le- 
3run’s summer cottage here a year 
ago last March, and was subse- 
quently sent to jail. 
He is thought to be the same 
man who rifled the office of the 
West Gloucester railroad station 
this spring, and the Monserrat 
station later, and probably the 
West Manchester station, also. 
Chief Peabody was in Boston 
Wednesday and identified the mur- 
dered man as the one arrested here 
in 1CO5. 
On Sunday evening, March 19, 
1g05, a number of people noticed a 
light in the “Apple Lane Cottage,” 
off Bridge street, West Manchester, 
and M. E .Gorman telephoned the 
police. Officers Andrews and Lee 
started out at once, and Chief Pea- 
body followed later, going by way 
of Ashland avenue. The man 
could be seen at work inside when 
the officers arrived and surrounded 
the house, and as he went to the 
basement with his arms loaded with 
booty and 
was about to step out 
NORTH. SHORE- BREEZE 
Officer Lee flashed his light in the 
man’s face and placed him under 
arrest. Everything in the house 
had been overhauled, trunks cut 
open and valises ransacked. In 
court the following Thursday 
Welsh was bound over in $500 for 
the May sitting of the superior 
court, when he was sent to jail. He 
told the court at the time he was a 
fisherman sailing from Gloucester, 
and that he went to the LeBrun 
house to sleep for the night. 
Fire in Manchester. 
The Manchester department was 
called out a week ago yesterday af- 
ternoon for a blaze in a small shed 
in the rear of the James Cronin 
property on Friend’s court. The 
alarm was sounded from Box 52, at 
the Engine House, a little after 4 
o'clock. Children and matches 
were responsible for the fire, which 
came dangerously near catching the 
house adjoining the shed. Loss, 
$25, covered by insurance. 
A party of North Beverly people, 
including Mr. and Mrs. George A. 
Stanley and family, Mrs. John M. 
Watts, Miss Watts and Miss Har- 
riet Watts and Mr. and Mrs. Jonas 
Hirst, enjoyed an outing at Sing- 
ing Beach, Manchester, on Labor 
Day.
