NORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1914 CAUGHT SIX BUR GLARS ON FERRY Had Fled From Providence in Automobile—New London Po- lice Were Waiting for Them at Ferry Landing—Fugi- tives Had Cracked Two Safes and Secured About $700— Had Nearly the Whole Amount With Them—One Pull- ed Gun in Police Station. — men in an automobile who gave thi‘rx names as Albert Percival, Josepa 7. Brady, Leonard B. Maynard, Raj- mond W, Staley, Burnside McCullia and Michael Devlin, and their ages from 25 to 38, were arrested on the Groton ferryboat at New London about 8 o'clock Thursday morning, charsed avith blowing open two safes in Provi- dence the night before and stealing ore than $700. mFonr Nev‘v London policemen made the arrest after police headguarters in that city had been warned from Provdence to look out for the fleeing burglars, who were coming this way and were pursued by another automo- Dile in which four Providence police inspectors were trying to run down the fugitives. The Providence officers reached New London about two hours afthr the men were in custody. Covered Watchman With Revolver The captured gang, acording to the Providence police, broke into a Regal shoe store in Westminster street; bound the watchman to a safe and pil- ferea its contents. While one of the Yeggmen held a revolver covering the watchman the others rolled the saie down stairs to the basement; blew it open and then got away. Later inves- tigation has shown that two safes were opened and more than $700 stolen. Several other stores in the same bulid- ing were entered. The patrolmen who made the cap- ture are James C, Sullivan, Charles P, Hammond, John E. Hogan and James McKenna, the latter a supernumerary, They were waiting at the ferry landing,| on the New London side, having been sent out from police headquarters when the f t purser, Mr. Chapman, telephoned from the Groton side that the six men wanted were in an aut mobile aboard the boat. The New Lomn- don police had been watching at the ferry all the morning. Policemen Ready to Shoot Chapman let the quartet of police- men through the ferry gates onto the deck crowded with passengers coming to daily work in New London. The purser whispered that the car was on the right side of the engine room, Two policemen went around the engine room to approach the car from the rear. The other two, Sullivan and Hogan, ap- proached it from the front. Sulliyan, senior -of the sguad, stepped onto the running board of the car with his gun drawn. Hogan, Hammond and McKenna surrounding the machine, ready to shoot, were in time to hear Sullivan. command, “Yoa are under arrest. Keep, your hands out of your pockets, Three Were Asleep Three of the bandits in the tonneau Percival was at the steering wheel and 'Brsdy was sitting in_front with Percival. With tho officers on the running ‘boards Perclval was commanded to drive to police headquarters, where the six men were ushered rfom the car into the squad room. There they were di- rected to etand in line to be searched. Drew Pistol on Policeman Hammond was approaching Staley to search him when the policeman came near losing his life. Staley Qquickly plunged his hand into his overcoat pocket. Hamniond saw him and jumped. Staley drew out an automatic revolver and aimed at Hammond, crying, “Stand back'" The policeman with his right hand chopped the gun from Staley's right hand dand with his left fist landed a blow on. Staley’s jaw that knocked him against Station Keeper Hyde, whose arms flew about Staley’s neck and drew him down, In an Instant there was the command hands up and every police gun covered the gang. Then the work of search- ing was resumed. Money and Jewelry Staley's search had ended when Wil- Tooker, & supernumerary, who 85 assisting, discovered a ten-dollar bill tucked into Staley’s linen collar. The search of Percival vielded $49.40 and a small screw driver. Brady had In his clothing $129.3% and two foun- tain pens. Maynard had $100.58 in currency and small change. Staley had $11552, a revolver a ’ hadq 882 evolver and pearl a in a case.

Two keys were found, after a search of effects of the men and one unlocked the suit case and the other the trunk. The trunik contained three hand bags of black oil- ed leather. Each of these was opened. [n one was found an envelope contain- ing several hundred two-cent Postage Envelopes bearing the print of e Columbus, O, hotel and a coat, on the inside collar of which was the labei of G. H.

Chased by Police in Aute From the ttime that the wat it the store that was robbed 133:?(23‘ himself loose about 2:15 Thursday mo‘rnlng and notifiled the Providence police, the automoblle load of yeggmon was traced to Narragansett Pler at 435 a. m. and from there towards Inspectors Willilam E. McGann, Geocse Monahan, James Ahearn and John J. O’Malley loaded themselves into Leo drive to Narragansett Pler as fast as the motor could go. Simultaneously police in eight or ten cities and tow.s were, notified by phone to be on th lookout for the fugitives. New Lon- don police headquartersr was included in the notification. At Narragansett Pier the fugitives inquired of a policeman the wey to New London, the cfficer not knowing then that the men werc wanted. Just after they had driven out of sight he 2ot a telephone message to look out for them. This was 2t 4:35 o'clock. Fagan drove his Franklin car at top notch speed except along the worst patches of roads, making from 40 to 45 miles an hour, and at times hoped to catcch up with the fugitives, who were using a Pierce-Arrow. After the arrest Percival claimed the Plerce-Arrow belongs to him, but the police say they do not doubt that it was stolen. a Two Other Cities Want Them ‘Within a few minutes after the Asso- ciated Press repoit had spread the news of the arrest the New Haven po- lice chief telephoned to the New Lon- don chief that he had the number of the car and the make and that the same car had been connected with ten burglaries in one’night in New Haven. The car described by the New Haven police. was a_Pierce-Arrow, New Jer- sey registry No. 2540, Captain Haven could look out of the window at the captured car and assure the New Ha- ven policeman he was right. A few minutes later Springfield, Mass., police headquarters called. They had the car’s number and the Spring- field chief wanted the bandits held for him until he could send detectives here. ‘“Hold them, we'll be right after them,” he said, ¥ Taken to Providence In the latter part of the morning the prisoners were turned over to the Providence inspectors and were taken to Providence in two automobiles. They passed through this city and were ac- companied by their counsel, Attorney Max Boyer of New London, who had advised them o waive extradition, The machines stopped for a minute about noon at Shannon’s corner, where the attorney got out to buy.cigarettes. Auto Was in This City According to the Providence officials, the first worda about the gang came from- Norwich, Conn., on September 14, ‘when a Dr. Murray, who was afterward identified as an alleged safebreaker and fur thief of New York, took a machine out of the garage there which he, had stored for three weeks, This machine bore the New Jersey number 2540. Soon after that breaks began to be reported from all over New England, each one accorapanied by a report of an auto- mobile taking the men away after the work was done. In every case entrance was gained to the buildings, as it was in Providence, by the men going up fire escapes, either to open windows, or to the roof and thence down throug | S the skylights. Captain D. J. Twomey said Thyrs- day night that the Norwich police had known of the Dr. Murray who was here in September and had his automonile at the Washburn garaze on Thames square. At that time Dr. Murray was engaged in canvassing around here as & book agent, selling a book on home hygiene. The police had nothing on him, but *--- notice of him because he was a stranger. Ie went away from here after the machine was taken fu}x(n the garage. ¢ seems cu.te likely that th = selling may have been only a ;lilr)l?ioieo get acquainted with the country and Dossible places to burglarize.
