Masked Burglar Confesses Terrorizing Springfield
Bertram Gage Spencer, jailed after a dramatic confession, admits he was the masked burglar who terrorized Springfield last Thursday. He claims an early head injury and a thrill-seeking impulse fueled his long crime spree, including a fatal shooting and woundings at the Dow House. He describes a lifelong pattern of theft, from childhood onward, aided by a mix of bravado and a desire for money to furnish his West Springfield home for his wife. The police say he will be held for the May grand jury term after a third degree interrogation.
