Salsberry, the murderer, and Albert R. Wells, the negro highway robber, Sherif Sidney A. Brown and his posse of sheriffs, with Jailer Oscar H. Main, recaptured Salsberry near Andover on Tuesday afternoon about 4 o'clock, after Wells had been caught in the morning in the same neighborhood. The two men were brought back here and lodged in celis in the jail a little bofer 6 o'clock, giving Sheriff Brown and his deputies a chance to rest up after the almost ceaseless search that they have kept up all over this end of the state and almost up to the Massachusetts line.” i Both Salsberry and Wells, it is said, were dispirited and fagged out by the fCugitive life they have been living in the woods since their escape, as their principal diet has been apples and they have hit in the woods in the dayg- light hours and only dared to travel at night, between midnight and about 4 in the morning when they ventured into the roads and got as far as they could before they took to another hid- ing place. Suniiay night they say they ven- tured into Willimantic and bought cart without being recognized or held up, but otherwise they have lived chiéfly upon apples.

He kept the man there by talking to him about giving deputy | sandwiches about 10 o'clock at a lunch | the house and a young man fired three | him a job uantil Constable Waldo Rice came along, took charge of Wells and delivered him to the Manchester police | authorities, Word of the capture of Wells was telephoned here to Police Chiei George Linton and he let Sheriff Brown know in New London. The sheriff immedi- ately set off in his car,. summoning Deputy Sheriffs W. H. Casey .of Ston- ington, Manuel Martin of New London, H. E. Draper of this city and Jailer Main, who got to Manchester and Andover with all possible speed and started a search for Salsberry. State Poiiceman W. E. Jackson and Con- stable Samuel Woodward also assist- i ed in the ‘search. After covering considerable ground without success, Sheriff Brown and Jailer Main started back to Manches- ter to bring out Wells so that he could show what direction Salsberry had taken. The sheriff left werd with the deputies to contifiue the search and Deputy Sheriff Casey, who was woi ing with Constable Woodward shortly sighted something moving near a marshy spot about two miles west of the Andober station. In a minute he saw that it was Salsberry, who s rendered without resistance. Th him in custody when the she the jailed returned with Wells. Salsberry would say noth about how he sawed out the bar at the jail by which he escaped except that he had been working at it for some time. He claimed that they hid in the woods at the Falls on the first night they wera out, and .crossed the footbridge at the Falls' about 1 o'clock in the morning, taking a route up through Baltic on the way to Willimantic. It was their intention, Salsherry said to geq to Springfield, and from there to Boston and so up into #aine, where he believed he would never be found.| The net thrown out all aver ' this] \‘P| ritory ever since they escaped had kept them in such fear of capture that they ad only dared to move when there w the slighest chance of meet- ing anybody and this had becn in the early morning hours just afier mid nigk either man had heer. shaved | since his escape. since they | dared to2 approagh any town house. 72 BEATRICE DUKE SAYS IT WAS LARK Beatrice Duke, of Ne N, J, pleaded guilty in the United States district court at Hartford on Tuesday to the charge of* wearing unlawfully the uniform o® a United States army officer and was sentenced by Judge E. 8.
