"Why hadn't we thought of It before?" and the conviction Is growing thnt the two men in the lock-up here are two of the three who robbed the bank the night of Washington's Birthday.

-It Is recalled that the constables who took up the search thnt night followed the wagon tracks till they seemed to disappear near Waterbury. Now the Gate House, near the boundary line between Water-ville and Waterbury, has long been known as a resort of the most disreputable people and the wonder is that everybody did not at once suspect that the burglars had gone there. It remained for the Waterbury police to work up the matter, however, and they have been anxiously waiting for a good clue. The place is kept by one Edward Brady, formerly a notorious Bridgeport character. All that known for fact now is that last Suday night the police raided the resort and captured Brady, a hanger-on named Frank Smith and several inmates.

All except Brady settled their oases before the court this morning, by which the city of Waterbury is $r00 the richer. There was some feeling because the culprits were not allowed to make money settleni'nt. but it transpires that the police had attained their object. Smith was re-arrested as one of the Thomaston burglars and Brady was taken as soon as he walked Into the court room and put down his $:0 tine for keeping liquor to sell, he having alreadyjiaid $100 on the ot her harg'es. These two men were brought here by Sergeant Dodds this noon.

Brady assumed indifference, but Smith was considerably perturbed. The ollicer did not produce his papers till he reached here and then Brady demanded that they be read In They were signed by 'Grand Juror Maurice Guernsey of this town and accused Brady of stealing $1,400. Constable Bennett put the men In the lockup. When he searched them he found $.17 in Hrady'a pocket and a sealed letter to the man's mother. This letter Brady seized and tore up.

Detective Murray of the Hankers" Association, when he heard of this, censured the constable and proceeded DOW'TPAYSIODFORABICYCLE 21 hk'r" given May 3.

The house wJ again gone over and the murdered boy's cap was found. TJiis cap was the only one he had and the llndintr of It goes to prove that he was not taken away by his mother. The bog nearest the house yielded up an important find. It will be remembered that tracks were found by a "Coura.nl'" reporter leading from tho house to this bog and out on the Ice. that stones had evidently been taken from the stone wall, one of which, a very huge one, was found on the Ice.

A bloody shirt had washed ashore and was found near the stone wall. It was torn and the stains of blood were very nparentlpy been used for a woman's for examination. There was one more find. On the line of these tracks was found a snip of calico tied In a square knot that had apparently been uwed for gaiter.

The case of Cornell Hiscox and Underbill vs. New York Filter Company was continued from last week and there was a hearing on motion to erase defendant's plea to jurisdiction; E. S. Day for plaintiff, Phelps for defendant. The case is a very important one.

The company assigned for the benefit of their creditors on January 22. The plaintiffs garnisheed the property. As notice of assignment had not been sent to creditors within three days, the assignment was not valid. Phelps for the defendants showed that the laws of New Jersey did not require a.

three days notice to make assignment valid and that It was not within the jurisdiction of the courts in this state to take cognizance of the matter. The case was continued until the lawof New Jersey on this matter could be further looked into. Divorce cases took up the rest of the day's session. This morning the cases of W. K.
