' ins 3 Could Not Find His Way Out of Vaults of Weth- erby Church London, Eng., Feb, 25.--How a man existed for threo weeks with- out food or drink in a vault, from which he could not find the way out, was revealed at Wether- by, Yorkshire, recently. + Emaciated and semi-conscious, and able only to gasp "Water, water." a man of 66 named Thomas Speck was carried on a stretcher from the crypt bencath the parish church of St. James, 'On Now Year's Eve he went into the vaults for warmth and fell asleep. When he woke up it was quite dark, He tried to find his way* out, and sinc: then he members nothing. _. Children from a school near by had sald "There is a man under he church," but no notice was taken of their talk. It was thought that what they had seen 'was the shadow of a man outside the ven- tilators. Then a man, working one night in the vaults, declared that he had "seen and heard something." but it was not until the next morning that Fred White, who looks after the church clock and the -heating apparatus, took an acetylene lamp and made a search. Speck had evidently entered the vaults at the east end of the church but he was found at the opposite end on a ledge wrapped in a mac- kintosh near the hot water pipes He was hurried in an ambulance to the workhouse infirmary, where when he had recovered a little sev- eral hours later, he told thé story of his terrible ordeal to Dr. Har- greaves. His condition is quite consistent with his story, for his tongue fis raw for want of water, and he 's reduced to a skeleton and very feeble. Speck. who is of Austrian origin, has a college education, and was at one time a successful commereial traveller. Although he had been missed at his lodgings, no one had associated him with the noises beneath the church.
