Descriptions of Anderson have been secured from people in Spring- field who saw him with Shean and Chapman, and they tally with that of the hunted man, Dr. David Waskowitz told the po- lice here that on Sunday morning, he was driving down Church street Shortly after 4 o'cJock when he saw a high powered machine with two men in it As the machine . was passing by another one that was parked on the street, and at' the wheel of which was a man,was sit- ting, one of the occupflnls of the larger machine jumped _onto the running board of the park®d auto and whispered to the occupant. Ie jthen ran back onto the other car and it dashed up the street, This leads to the belief that there was a third party involved who might i have acted as a lookout and escaped the observation of Edward Johngon, the hostler, who told the police that he only saw two men about the place. Johnson was sure that Chapman and Shean were the only two men that were In the store, The complete disappearance of Chapman after leaving the store and the fact that he was not caught in ! the police net that was thrown im- mediately about the city indicates that he secured rapid transportation out of the city immediately after the shooting affair. Epidemic of Safe Robberies. After the Springfield police lcarned of Shean's statement that he had met Chapman at the Cooley hotel in Springfield about the first week in July, they recalled that on July 19 and 20, there were six safe robberies in that city. They are confident that the mystery that surrounded the breaks has now cleared and that Chapman is the man who engineered the burglaries in that city. The workin that city was done by experts, according to the Spring- field police, for they not only swept up everything clean after theng, but removed all traces df fingerprints. The occasion of a visit Friday aft- ernoon ia told by Carl Lantz a car- penter §ho is working on the aiter- atione on the front of the Fair de- partment store. He sald that hewas using an electric saw when some- thing went wrong with the wiring. He started to look it over to deter- mine the trouble, when a man, who, he is convinced, was Chapman,acme up to him and asked “what seems to be the matter? Perhaps I can help you.” Chapman then stayed there and assisted Lantz repair the electric; saw. He was still working there when Shean came over, ac- cording to Lantz's story,and asked bim what he wah working there for. Chapman passed off Shean's ques- tion lightly, and turned and the two walked down thevetreet, If is pos- sible that Shean may have been in the store while Chapman was wait- ing outside with Lantz.

A further scarch wag made on the machine in which the bandits came to the city yesterday afternoon, and the police found two more tubes of nitrogiycerine, a holster to be car- ried inside the trousers, rond maps and an automoblle membership from Ohfo. These discoveries seem to prove that Chapman was the man here, as he is known to have been in Ohlo and Indiana, registration plates of the latter state being found in his room at the Cooley hotel in Spring- fleld, where he had registered under the name of Waldo W. Miller, Automobile Was Stolen Detactives representing the auto- mobile insurance underwriters call- ed at police headquarters this morn- ing to examine the machine to de- | termine it it was stolen and to whom it belonged. It was discovered that the serial numbers on the engine and other parts of the machine had been changed, but the work was so cleverly executed, that It was almost tmpossible to detect it with the eye, it being” necessary to get jewelers’ glasses to examine them. All the numbers by which the machine could be identified had been changed, but the detectives located the body numbers of the car under the woodwork on the rear of the front seat, and these had evidently been overlooked by Chapman, for they had not been touched. The number secured here and the serfal number were forwarded to the mak- ers of the machine so that it can be traced to the parly from whom it was stolen. Shean’s family will do all In thelr power to assist the police in appre- Lending Chapman. They feel that W1§ arrest s the first step to be made by them in having the true story of Walter's complicity brought to light. “When tiw time comes for the trial of my brother,” Howard Shean said, “he will be represented by com- petent counsel to assure him a fair break in the case, but In the mean- time, we will ald the police in the search for Chapman.” The brothers said that they will visit him in Hartford on Friday in the hope that he will be more will- ing to talk and tell them everything that he knows concerning Chap- man's and Anderson’s movements, Father Will Not Lift Hand Charles T. Shean of Springfield, father of the prisoner, conferred with the police yesterday regarding his son’s plight. He is said to have made the statement that it cost him $40,000 to get his son out of a bond robbery serape. He said Walter had always been inclined to be incorrigi- ble but had neversshown any vicious tendencies, “I've done all I can for him,” the father is reported to have said. “But now that he has got himself mixed up with murder I don’'t fecl that it is up to me to do any more. In fact I will not lift a hand to save him. That is the way I feel now. Whether I will change my mind later remains to be seen.” One of Shean's brothers is said to have made the statement that The the had he had peculiar tendencies. | sight of blood infurfated him, brother said, adding that he suftered from brainstorms. Comes Under Compensation Act The board of police commission- ers has decided that Policeman Skelly, being a city employe and not an official, comes under the slale workman’s compensation act and that his heirs are entitled to one-halt his pay for 312 weeks. ‘Whether this decision will be upheld ig not, known, A salesgirl in Davison & Leven- thal's relates an incident which con- firms the beliet that Chapman was in New Britain last Saturday. She noticed & man resembling Chapman standing at the entrance and lean- ing against the front door smoking a pipe with his arms crossed over his chest. When she looked again, his arms were behind him. It s thought that the man, Chapman, had a screw driyer and was loosen- ing the scr in the cylinder lock. It was discovered after the crime that the screws had been removed. Mayor A aonessa said today the question of a reward would be one to be handled by the state of Connecticut, rather than the city. He cited the case of the Zebria mur- der in ¥hich former Mayor Curtis ht to have a reward given, but the cquncil took no action. .City Items The 46th anniversary of New Brit- ain council, No. 8, 0.
