Evening Sentinel, 15 March 1901

A startling parallel to the famous episode in Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables" of Jean Valjean's rescue from starvation by the bishop and his subsequent robbery of his benefactor, is afforded by the experience on Wednesday night, of the Rev. George Szaba, pastor of St. Stephen's Hungarian Roman Catholic Church in Bridgeport, Ct. In the present instance Father Szaba sat alone on Wednesday in his bedroom counting the money he intended to put in bank on the following day. The room was on the ground floor, and seeing what seemed to be a shadow flitting across the window, he glanced up, and his eyes met those of two men who were peering into the room. Hastily placing the money in a drawer of his desk, the priest arose, and, going to the window opened it and asked the men what they wanted. They replied that they meant no harm, but were weak and hungry. He then bade them enter, and placed food before them. After they had eaten he gave them money sufficient for a night's lodging and a meal, and, escorted them to the door, dismissed them with his blessing. It was then about 11 o'clock, and shortly afterward the priest went to bed. A few minutes after midnight he was aroused by a faint noise in the room. He lay perfectly still until two men reached the bedside and learned over him, listening intently to make sure that he was fast asleep. "He's all right," he heard one of the men whisper behind his mask, and the two men drew back as if to go to the desk where the money lay. At that moment the priest sat bolt upright and said: "My friends, what do you want here?" An exclamation of surprise and alarm was the response, and the two robbers dashed through the window by which they had entered and disappeared. Father Szaba rose, closed the window, satisfied himself that his money had not been touched, and then went back to bed. Pittsburgh Dispatch.

The books are attractively bound in cathedral blue cloth engraved with silver candlesticks. One thousand of them have been printed and will sell for 50 cents each. The proceeds will be Rabbi Cronbach's Christmas gift to the Orphans' home. The essay is one of the most popular which Mr. Cronbach has delivered in South Bend. Its subject is the famous "Bishop of D" of Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables".

About Abraham Cronbach: "If Cronbach had the power, he would destroy all jails and prisons, which he regards as instruments of societal vengeance which corrupt both the prisoners and society itself, and he would confine law-breakers to new institutions for psychological treatment and social retraining.

After reading this little newspaper article, did I travel to a different city in order to go to a library that holds one of these 1,000 copies? Yes I surely did and I thank whoever donated a copy of this book to the LA library, you are a hero.

Last night, Susan and a team of therapists at the clinic were hosting the first night of a KAP retreat for caregivers who have been impacted by the tyrannical siege of our cities by the federal government. I didn't feel like cooking so I headed over to Myriel and sat at the bar for dinner. My main choucroute garnie with excellent house-made ground mustard. Had a glass of a really great Blaufränkisch which held up well to the rish sausage and sauerkraut. Dessert was panna cotta with a wild grape sauce and tiny buckwheat cookie.
