HAS BEEN SECURED.
WATERBURY, Jan. 90 The Waterbury
American of this morning has the following
paragraphs:
On Monday night New York detective ar
rived here and succeeded in finding a certain
Tom McGiven who had been in the employ of
the wooden company here for the past two
weeks. The arrest was made upon suspicion
that McGiven was the party in whose care the
letter was entrusted by the Rogers murderer,
which was endorsed: "Tom will give this to
you" and which was found upon the ground
near the scene of the assassination. McGiven
is the convict who escaped to New York from
Sing Sing Prison some time since and sue
ceeded in reaching New York by secreting
himself under some lumber on barge. He
was met in New York by friends who quietly
sent him to Waterbury by private conveyance
The detective who made the arrest succeeded
in securing the prisoner, and conducted him
to New York last evening, and our city officials
knew nothing of the matter until after both
persons were on their way. A brother of the
prisoner arrived here last evening from New
York, doubtless to put his brother on guard,
but was too late.
