AR L — NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1925, CHAPMAN TRAPPED (TWO KILLED IN BY OWN OVERSIGHT i (Continued from First Page) Lxpensive' Oversight By Chapman The presence ‘of the tag on the bag evidently the result of ap overs slght by Chapman, who always ex\ erclsed the greatest care in removs ing every possible means of {dentl. fication from clothing, bags and such articles that came into his po- ssesslon, It was the second time that a small piece of paper was re- sponsible fro his capture, an express money order being responsible for his arrest in connection with the famous $1,400,000 mail robbery in New York over two years ago, When the police visiter = Spring. fleld several days after the murder and the arrest of Shean In scarch of clues that would give thém a hint as to the place which Chapman was llkely to flce, they secuved the as- sistance of the Springfield police and made a search of the offices of the Shean Advertising company. In one of the back rooms they located the bags and other paraphernalia, but a careful scrutiny of all the articles falled to give a clue. The entire. luggage was then brought to the local police station where it was held untll last week when it was transferred to Hart- ford. Several days after the removal of the articles to this city another examination was_made and after going over them a second time, without success, Detective Sergeant Wullam P. McCue looked on the bottom of one of the bags and dis- cvered the tag. It contained the address “Dr. Harry Spickerman, 123 Mulberry street, Muncie, Ind.” Investigation of the address was immediately start- ed and it was learned from the Muncle police that there was such a man living in that city, On this in- formation, the trap that resulted in the capture of Chapman was set. On January 18, Chapman made his first appearance in Muncie, thereby setting at rest rumors to the effect that he had been under eurveillance in that eity for the past months, The detectives watching the Muncle home of Dr. Spickerman were employed by State Alcorn, it was learned, and it was they who saw Chapman enter the Braun hotel and, leaving shortly afterward, start for the home of Dr. 8pickerman on the walk that proved to be his last one at liberty Local Police Get Credit The story of how the bags and other paraphernalla which. were: found in the office of the Shea Ad- vertising company in Springfield were brought to light was revealed today by the local police for the first time, and to Chief William C. Hart goes the credit for getting the first clue in the chain that ultimately resulted in the capture of Chap- man. The day after the murder of Po- liceman Skelly, Chief Hart recelved a tip that in a certain place in the officgs of .the advertising company Dhags atid tools could be found that .@ould probably give a clue that would result in the capture of Chapman. He immediately com- municated with Detective Sergeant McCue, who was working at Hol- yoke on the case, to meet him at a certain place in Springfield. Ruahing to Springfield, Chief Hart met Detective Sergeant McCue and they went to the Shean offices and unearthed the mass of evidence, The baga and other goods were immedi- atoly brought back to New Britain, where they remained until last week when Chfet Hart and Detective Ser- geant McCue brought them to State's Attorney Alcorn’s office. When the clue was found, State's Attorney Alcorn was notified and he dispatched County Detective Edward Hickey here the nest day to assist the local police in examining the ev- idence. Detective Sergeant McCue was examining one of the bags, and when he turned it over and looked on the bottom, there was the tag Learing the address of Dr. Spicker- man in Munice, Ind,, the clue that proved the downfall of the cunning Chapman.
