Brooklyn Today
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 295th day of the year.

ON THIS DAY in 1905, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Law Student’s Burglar Police Think is a Myth.” The article focused on a Brooklyn Law School student being shot by a “masked burglar.”
“Isidor Rosenberg, a young law student, who [was] attending lectures in the Brooklyn Law School in the Eagle Building, was shot in the neck this morning … ” the Eagle reported. “He says a masked burglar got at him, but the police of the Liberty Avenue station … are inclined to believe that there was no burglar at all.”
