HARTFORD, July Z, 1915.
Murder, Most Foui-Arrest Of the Supposed C,l-
prit.
In this puritan, pous, wicked and corrupt city, in
| the "land of steady hablts,' horrible murder was
committed on Thursday night last, but it was not
known until yesterday. About noon yesterday,
Sunday the body of man was discovered in the
Connecticut rver-apparently having foated short
distance-against the eastern pier of the Great
Bridge. Upon taking him out of the water, he was
recognised as Moses Whitney, from 35 to 40 years
of age of Cabotvllle, Massachusetts, (where he has
abrother) who had been In this city, about the Fer
ry and Commerce street 'hells." A Coronsrs in
examination of the body by three Of our most emf
nent physicians, and after several hours examina-
tion of different witnesses, the jury rendered
dict of found murdered, by some person or persons
unknown. The deceased had been struck twice or
thrice on his head and side, and had evidently
struggled with his murderer. On Thursday he was
seen to have considerable money with HIM, and a
watch and metallic chan and a cane with the head
of Jackson engraved thereon. The cane and watch
chain have been seen in the possession OF Ferry
street thimbe rgger, and for whom the officers to-
day are in search. Great excitement has been caused
by this murder-and well there might be, for the
two last prior murders committed here, the culprlts
have not been detected-because officers did not do
their duty. Only nnety-slx cents were found IN his
possession when taken out of the water.
From certain declaratons-not proper now TO
state-made on Thursday by a ow-bred fellow be-
longing TO the Commerce and Ferry street gang, and
from other mysterious and suspicious movements
Aaron White was last evening arrested under the
following circumstances One OF our police off
GERS had been, to his knowledge, on the watch for
him at a certain Commerce street groggery, where
he was secreted, when he slipped out the back way
but when about a mile from thence in the north
meadows seeing three men walking in the same
direction with himself, and mistakng them for an
officer and assistant he started upon run-when
the three, thinking the fellow acted queer halloed
to him, but he ran the harder and they after him.
After considerable chase, they found he had Sc
creted himself in some bushes-and before they
spoke to him, he saId he didn't kill Whitney-he
wished the man was here that did as he could then
