III rVm The New Haven Courier. July 20.
The man Michael Jannings upon whom suspicion
Of the murder of Mrs. Bradley, at North Haven,
ested Yves arrested at the railroad station yesterday
morning by Mr.. F. W. Gilbert and constable Kne-
walls, and carried to Jail. He acknowledged that he
was the person formerly in the employ OF Mr.. Brad
ley, and that he had left some money with man
named James Conner. Connor was arrested by of
cer Knevals, and after some attempts to evade the
delivery 1.-THE money, was searched, and the bill
found upon him, which bore the marks of bloody
fingers. woman named Ellen Conner was also
arrested on the suppostion thatshe may know some
thing Of the affair.
Jannings is a young man under twenty years Of
age, rather mild in his appearance, about mddling
size-says he has not been in this country year.
His clothes bad evidently just been washed, as they
were still quite wet when he was arrested. Fresh
marks of blood were found on his hat also. Conner
is an athletic and ferocious looking fellow and the
circumstances attending his arrest and the posses
sion Of the money found are such to give the i'm
preston that he knows more about this fendish af-
fair than he is willing to acknowledge.
The circumstances connected with the arrest of
Jannings are these:-About seven o'clock Mr.. Gil
bert, proprietor of Gilberts HOTEL in State street,
was informed by Mr.. Smith, baggage master at the
depot, (who, we believe, is a connection OF the muir
dered woman,) that q suspicious looking man was
hanging about the depot He Immediately went in
search of the man, and found him on the track be-
low the depot. In answering questions put to him
he showed much embarrassment, and contradicted
himself in many Of his statements In the course
out of him that he was a tanner and currier by
trade that he had cut his finger while in the employ
Of man named Harrison, Of North Haven; that he
had worked for Mr.. Bradley, of the same town;
that his name was Jannings; and that he was very
DESTROYS Of getting passage to New York. Mr.. G.
then felt authorized to arrest him, and at once
brought him to his hotel, where he called Mr..
Knevals, ard had him taken to jail.
Jannings had in his possession valise, which was
new one and had undoubtedly been purchased in
this city during the morning, In this valise was
quantity Of clothes, which were wet, having been
recently washed, and still upon them stains as il
from blood.
Mr.. Gilbert is deserving Of much praise for his
efforts in tracing out the Jannings, who is un
doubtedy the murderer
We learn, in addition to the above that Drs
Knight and Jewett, in post norton examination
Of the body Of Mrs. Bradley, discovered the broken
blade of knife in one Of the wounds, which on
comparison fits the knife found upon the person Of
Jannings. His boots also fit the tracks found near
the house. and his clothing is discovered to be quite
damp, as if recently washed The husband of Ellen
Conner has also been arrested an accessory from
the fact that gold coin, identified as part of the
stolen money, has been found in his possession.
