Burglars Rob a Consumptive Patient’s Room by Night
A sick man at Mrs Sweeny’s Christian Street home, bedbound and near death, awoke to two intruders entering his room. They bound him, gagged him, and shed feathers from a torn pillow as they looted satin, cashmere, and mourning fabrics, escaping as the man struggled to cry out. The episode ended with the patient falling from his bed in the confusion.
