Templeton today of* fered a reward of $3,000 for the capture of the guilty person or sons who shot and killed James Skelly, New Britain po- liceman, early Sunday morning attempting to arrest burglars in a department store, He issucd the offer of reward in hehalf of the state of Connecticut. It was on the application of State's Attorney Hugh M, Alcorn and according to section 6109 of the general statutes that prompted Governor Templeton this morning to broadcast the offer. The New Britain Herald an- nounces that it will pay a reward of $500 to the person furnishing infor- nation which results in the capture nd conviction of the man who kill- «d Policeman James Skelly last Sun Jay morning, w+e from the penitentiary at Atlan- i, Ga. The authorities at A(I'nm ave offered a reward of $1,000 for t‘hapman's arrest, The mauagement of clieves that every encouragement hould« bg given leading to the ar- est of Policeman Skelly’s murderer. it is In Keeping with this attitude, that the reward of $500 has been nnounced. Spread Net For Chapran As the funeral services of Police- | nan Skelly were being held this orning, the police all over the ountry were concentrating their ef- orts in aa effort to apprehend the uaster criminal, Gerald Chapman, s the man who fired the shot that nded the life of the veteran police- man, The conviction is growing pon the police, in spite of their keptical attitude at the start of the iwestigation, that Beau Brummel veggman, who engineered the $2,- 100,000 robbery on Wall street in 921, has added the erime of mur- der to his alveady long list of crimes, The relatives of Walter E. Shean, the son of wealth Springfield parents | wre racking thelr brains for a plaus- ihle explanation of Shean’s com- plicity with Chapman.

Suspect Third Man in Case The police are nogv working on the theory that there were three men involved in the local robbery and are leaning to the belief that the third man was Robert Anderson,’ a pal in crime of Chapman's, who was sentenced to the Atlanta federal prison for complicity in the Wall street robbery engineered by Chap- man, and who escaped from the prison. The federal agents belfeve that Chapman and “Anderson nare working together, and stories com- ing from Springfleld seem to cor- roborate this beliet. Sergt. Willlam P. McCue and County Detective Edward Hickey went to Springfield yesterday after- noon to gather information concern- ing Shean and Chapman, and also to learn if Anderson hos been with the two men recently. Tt is understqod that they have searched Shean's room at the Cooley hotel where he lived, but the result of the search has not been divulged. Were Planning Counterfeiting Plant Shean is reported to have ad- mitted to the local police that he and Chapman, with a fellow named Anderson, had entered into a plan to purchase a farm about 70 miles from Springfield, which was to be dsed as @ counterfeiting plant, Chapman telling him that they had | (Continued on Pige 17) The man is presumed | 10 be Gerald Chapman, a notorious | New York stick-up man and a fugi- | the Herald | as SLEW SKELLY; _HUNT FOR CHAPMAN GOES ON INPRESSIVE OBSEQUIES FORPOLIGEMN SHELLY Policemen, Public Officials and Friends Pay Last Respects Fifty uniformed policemen stood with heads bared and heads bowed at the entrance to B8t.

She will pass over that city, probably Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash- ington and intervening cities, ana will_return here to land-just before dusk tomorrow night.” Captain Helnen declared he had Intimate knowledge of the plans or the Zeppelin company.and of Dr, Hugo Eckener, president and com- nfgnder of the Zeppelin on this light.

New York, Oct. 14.—Overcoming a potential weather handicap which threatened unduly to delay her transatlantic passage, the dirigible ZR-3, voyaging from Friedrichsharen to Lakehurst, was speeding along the ocean air’ lane toward the New Jer- sey coast shortly before noon today at the rate of 75 miles an hour. At that time she was - approximately 1,300 miles from her destination. Maintenance of the' same speed would bring her to Lakehurst early tomorrow morning. Before dawn today the messages from the big Zeppelin-built craft m- dlcated she was ploughing along towards the North American eonti- ‘nent at about 65 miles an hour. At 8 a. m,, eastern standard time, how- ever, the ZR-3 apparently was en- countering weather troubles in a strong northwest wind, which was holding her up seriously, the rate of her progress having dropped to no more than 25 miles an hour. She was then about 1,600 miles from Lakehurst, and almost due east o1 that point. Within a brief period, however, the giant dirigible seems to have | shaken off the blow, or possibly to | have foun da favoring current, for in the next three hours, at the end of which she was next reported, she had progressed some 200 miles and was traveling at a 75 mile an hour pace.
