NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1919, " ELMCITY SLEUTH IS HOLD-UP MAN Arrested in Newark Following Big Payroll Robbery Newark, N. J,, Oct. 16.—Thomas W. Condon of 756 Howard avenu New Haven, Conn., former proprietor of the Bagle National Detective agency, on Church street, New Haven, was arrested here yesterday after the most spectacular holdup that has oc-| curred in this city in 20 years. Con-, don admitted taking part in the hold-/ up but refused to tell anything about himself. _ William Wager and Ernest Zig-j garelli, manager and cashier of the Western Electric Company’s tool mak- ing shop in Summitt street, this city, were held up by two masked men in the hallway of the plant as they en- tered with the payroll of $2,850. In the struggle Ziggarelli tore the mask from one man, said to be Candon, and recognized him as a former employe. Ziggarelli seized his revolver and fired four shots as the men ran out Wwith the package containing the money. An automobile salesman gave chase and tried to run over Condon, but tho latter sidestepped and jumped into the car and compelled the driver to help! _him escape. The salesman saw a chance of capturing the man about two miles from the scene of the hold- up and turned into a fire house. The robber jumped from the running board, and pursued by firemen ran through yards and over fences, hiding | finally in a cellar at 114 Orange street, | where police and civilians made him surrender by firing several shots at| him. In his pocket was a paper with this writing: “My name is Thomas W. Condon of 756 Howard avenue, | Bridgeport, Conn., or 16 Lombardy street, Newark.” At the room he oc- cupied for several months at the lat- ter address the police found a set of false whiskers and a clipping from a Seymour, Conn., paper, telling of the cscape of Frank Willlams, a burglar, from the Derby, Conn., jail. Candon said he knew the policeman from whom Willlams escaped and that a friend sent him the clipping. ' Condon’s companion escaped by | running in a garage and pretending he was repairing a car. When discov- | ered by the proprietor he ran out, but | not knawing of the holdup the garage | employes let him get away. The money that was stolen was re- covered with a revolver in the cellar where Condon was hiding. The police say that Condon con- ducted the private detective agency in 1914 in the First National . bank building, New Haven. He was born | in Bridgepart 40 years ago and has | lived in Hartford, Bridgeport, New | Haven and more recently in Shelton, Conn. Condon is suspected of being the bandit who held up a girl bookkeeper Hére two weeks ago and got away with a $400 payroll. Others who have been held up similarly here in the last few months will look him over today. RESTORE MERCHANT MARINE.
