Deputy Sperm Sculley Caught
Man Who Toek $350 from
the Packet of Andrew Ferrari,
in South Nerwalk

Things were lively for a few min»
utes last night at the west—bound rail-
road station. when Deputy Sheriff John
W. Sculiey arrested a fellow who says
he is Edward Shaw, of New Bruns-
wick. N. 1., for attempting to steal a
wallet containing 3350 from the pockct
of Andrew Ferrari. an ltaliau fruit
dealer at 16 Day street.

Sheriff Sculiey was returning from
Bridgeport on the Washington cxprcss.

_ aving been serving papers in a suit
city. At the Bridgeport rail-
ro av. ation he noticed a crowd of

tougtis who came from a prize light

hold at Seller’s Hall by the Fred Mc-

Girr Association. The toughs blocked

the platform of the railroad car and

caused a crowd to collect, while their
pals Went through the pockets of sev-
eral of the waiting passengers.

Being tired from a hard day's work.
Sheriff Sculiey did not notice anything
especial about the laughs, except that
they were an unusually ill-favored lot.
and were very rough and ungeutlo-
manly in their manner. The same
thing was repeated at South Norwaik
and the sheriff was just “getting wise"
to them when he heard a loud bowl
from Andrew Fer-rail, it) the effect that
he had been assaulted and his pocket-
book containing 3350 taken.

Sheriff Sculiey rushed to Ferrell’s
aid and caught the fellow. who stoutiy
denied that he had stolen the pocket-
book. A number of people had been
looking for Ferratl’s pocketbook. but
it was not on the floor. Soon the prie-
oner commenced to struggle and then
abruptly ceased and offered to let
himself be searched. The pocketbook
was found on the floor almost immed-
iately after he made the offer and the
thief dropped it during the struggle.
The pocketbook was restored to For-
rati. who immediately jumped on
board the train, .

Sheriff Scuiiey did not want to lose
all his evidence, and as he did not not
know who Ferrati was. supposing he.
lived out of town, he called for Fer-
rati to leave the train. but he would
not. and finding him obdurste. Sheriff
Sculley realized that he had no cvi-
. dance on which to prosecute the fci~
‘. low. so there was only one course to
' pursue and that’was, to release him.
He did so and the plckpockei jumped
on board the.~traln,

When r‘errnti saw the pickpocket
board the train. he jumped off. and
then Sheriff Scuiley had his evidence.
but not the. prisoner. it looked like
a fiasco. but the sheriff seldom makes
one. He ran to the telephone in the
Adams Express office and called Stam-
ford. pacing the floor impatiently the
while he waited. He finally was con-
nected with a policeman at the rail-
road station there and gave a descrip-
tion of the man he wanted.

A little ltilfli‘ the fclephonc rang and
he receivcd word that the prisoner
had been apprehended.

: Prosecuting Attorney William 1“.

. Tammany issued a warrant for him
this morning nmi Sheriff Sculloy wont
to Stamford to get hint on an curly
morning train.

The prisoner’s appearance did lint
elicit much confidence. and he has
scars enough to Identify him in tiny

in Chelsea, Muse. He left thcrc n cou-
» i pic of weeks ago. and claims to have
i been on a drunk ever since.

‘ Sheriff Scnilcy identified him as one
of the fellows who blocked the pun-
seugern on the train at Bridgeport.
and also its the one who clinched with
Ferruti at the South Norwalk station.

A New (lannan man named Davin

STRANGE VISIT T0 ~
HIGII’S STRONG BOX

What Was Mission of Two
Strange Men Who Fumbled
About Safe in Bridgeport?

BRIDGEPORT. Sept Eta—The mys~
terious conduct last evening of two
men near the'safe of the Hicks Real-
ty Company in a hallway at 57 Cannon
street, in which were locked valuable
papers of Itatcliffo S. Hicks. the mllv
iionalre real estate owner who died
in Switzerland ester-day. gave rise
last night. and oday to some sensa‘
tional suspicions. In the sale it was
supposed that the will of the deceased
was deposited. By this instrument It
was reported that the bulk of the es-
tate was bequeathed to the only dough.
for of the (incensed, and a considerable
sum. although small in comparison to
the remainder of the estate. to chari-
ties and educational institutions.

Coming from the C. H. Harvey em~
ploymcut bureau on the second floor
of the building in. which the suspi-
cious appearing strangers were found.
Mrs. Maud Harvey. formerly of South
Norwalk. discovered the twu men tam.
poring with the doors of a closet un.
der the stairs under which the note
was situated. The 'ciosct is on a land-
ing to which front and rear hall stairs
lead half a dozen steps to the level
.of the first furor. ’l‘wo frail doors en-
closc the safe a massive structure.
nearly five feet high. as many wide,
and about three feet deep.

Several days ago an iccman passing
through the hallway, allowed a cake
of ice. to brush against the doors and
mnnslicd the hinge that fastened them.
Hence it. required no effort to open
the doors.

Discovering the men hanging about
the door and apparently examining
the safe. Mrs. Harvey exclaimed:
"What. are yott doing there?" .

Receiving no reply.‘ hcr suspicions
grow stronger. especially in view of
the fact that only a few months ago a
slmillnr incident occurred. Shc order-
ed the men out of the building.

With a muffled exclamation they do
parted hurriedly through the front
door. Mrs. Harvey hurried to police
headquarters with her story. A close
watch about the. building was main-
tained nil night. but the suspects did
not return. The description in the
hands of the police is very vague.

It was stated today that the will of
the late Mr. Hicks Will not in the safe
although the tenants of the building
stated that It. had been commonly be-
lieved among them that the safe at
times ciuitoiucd large sums of money.
representing the income from the inr-
ge property holdings of tho Hicks
Realty Company. besides personal
funds kept there,

The police made an investigation
as for as the few facts in their pos-
Bessie“ niIoWed and came to the (loll-
cluslon that the men were not profes-
sionals. whatever might have been the
object of their strange conduct.

Paper Called for $25 and Was

Norwaik~Later Men Was
Apprehentied by a New York
Detective Assisted by lior-
walk Business Me

 

 

Considerable excitement was caused
about financial circles in Norwalk. yes-
terday afternoon, over the appearance
of a tail. good looking. dark complex-
ioncd stranger. who dropped into town
late Thursday night and with his wife
registered at the Norwalk Hotel.

Developments yesterday. it was ul-
Iegcd, tendered to show that the
stronger was quite a notorious Yale
bred swindler, who had operated in
various parts of the country on the
strength of college associations.

Frederick A. LockWood, of East ave.-
nue, was pursunded to endorse a check
which the stranger cashed ut the Na-
tloned Bank of Norwalk. for 825. The
stronger recalled to Mr. Lockwood‘s
mind that he had played tennis with
him at college. Before getting Mr.
Lockwood‘s endorsement, the strong
er had attempted to have the cash
checked at the Hotel Norwnlk, but
Colonel George D. Russell. refused to
honor It. During his whole stay in
Norwalk the man acted in a very pe-
culiar manner. He pnccd up and down
continually about Illi' hotel office, and
made frequent inquires about the dc-
[torture of Ncw York trains.

Early yesterday afternoon. William
F, Dcklyn, of Mott avenue. received a
telephone message from a New York
detective agency. stating that it was
believed that a man whom they went-
ed was in Norwaik. and Mr. Dcklyn
was requested to shadow him until a
detective could get there from New
York. Mr. Dcklyn located his man
from descriptions given. After the
stranger bud cashed the check with
the Lockwood endorsement. he board-
ed a trolley car for the South Nor-
wnlk railroad depot, his wife having
preceded. Mr, ileKiyn quietly took
the same car as the man.

A low minutes after their departure
a cab containing a detective and a
man who it was said was the victim
of the stronger. dashed up to the ho»
tel. They were quickly directed to
the South Norwalk depot and started
post-haste. There they found the
stranger and his wife and workcd a
clever ruse. The defective was intro-
duced as a bookkeeper for a concern
whom the stranger had suceeiled in
doing business through the influence
of the detective companion. Mr_ De
Kiyn had remained in the background
It is uuderstoml that one of his role-
tives to also a victim. but he has not
yet learned the details. The plan was
to have the detective. arrest the man
as soon as the New York state line
had been crossed.

The stronger was very frank about
the check with Mr. Lockwood's endor-
sement while at the Bank of Nor-
wnik and was perfectly willing to have
a telephone message sent to New York
to see whether it was good. No mes.
cage was sent however.

Some Mighty Mean Stealing
Reported in the Last Few
Days in the "Next Station to
Heaven”

 

 

Residents of New Canaan hava been
greatly annoyed during the past few
weeks by sneak thieves, or rather by
a sneak thief, fer it is believed that
all the pilfertng that has been going
on is the work of one man, lie recent
ly got out of jail. and if he doesn't
watch out, New Canaan people say
that he will stand a good chance of
living in Bridgeport next winter,

The meanest thing that has been
done in the thief line in a long while
came to light a few days ago, when
Alma Kistner, who is employed in
William Rhinehardt’s bakery. found
that her watch, earrings ,and other
jewelry, as well as some money, had
been stolen from her dresser. Mist
Kistncr lives with her mother and
brothers in Summer street. Nearly
every one in New Canaan knows her,
and as she is a very obliging and.
courteous saleswoman. they all like
her. She had been planning to take a
vacation trip of a few weeks this
month, and Wes saving her money
with that in View. A few days ago.
when she returned home, after all her
family had been away from the house
for an hour or two. she found that
her room had been ransacked. and
her money and jewairy had been
taken.

Other persons whose places have
been visited are Gilbert Stevens, Robe
art Simon. l). ltnscoe, Hunford Avery
and A. Bowies.

All of these people think they know
who the culprit is. and if they can get
the goods on him at any time. they in.
