took into custody James Henry Mundsy, laborer, 81
years of age on suspicion of being of the parties
who broke into the premises in question: and shot Mr..
Boyd. When caught, Mundsy was excited, and in
answer to several questions put to him relative to his
whereabouts for some time previous to the tragic
affair, be gave contradictory answers. The drab
frocL found on Wednesday afternoon in Munday's
house. with large spots of blood 1t, belongs to the
prisoner. In relation to that very suspicious fact,
Munday in explanation. said that he loaI ed the coat
to butcher about week ago, and that it was re-
turned with blood spots uponit No credence is given
to this story, and the fact that Munday, after the
shooting of Boyd gave the coat to his sister to wash
with instructions to get all the blood out of it, looks
very suspicious Alderman Fulmer, and many others,
believe that Munday is the individual who committed
the bold and bloody deed The prisoner was locked
