| THE TRUCKMAN FOUND.
All day long a boy who saw the
trunk brought mp to the depot was
securing the city, aided by the bes
detectives on the force. At half. past
two o'clock, a detective telegraphed tc
Inspector Walling: 81 have the truck
Come to Eighteenth Precinct" At :
p. NJ, Eighteenth Precinct telegraphed
eve have the truckman." 1t appears
that, just before 3 P. NJ, the owner
who was also the driver. went tC
Warden Brennan, at Bellevue Hospital
and told him that he had taken the
trunk mentioned in the papers as
found with dead body in it, and asked
him if he thought the police would
lock him up if he delivered himself al
the police headquarters.
! HIS STATEMENT.
On the Warden's assurance that they
would not, the trunkman, who turns
out to be VIM. Pickett, of Twenty
i, seventh street and First avenue in
stead of Trip, went with Brennan tC
the Eighteentl-precinct station house
and told Captain Cameron that, on
Saturday, about 2 P. NJ, a woman
came up where his truck was standing,
at the corner of Third avenue and
Twenty-ninth street, and said she
was going to Chicago, and wanted him
to take track for her from 6s7 Sc
cond avenue to the Hudson river de-
pot, West Thirty-first street. He'ask-
ed her if she was. going to ride with
him, and she answered: "No; l will
take carriage and get over there be-
fore you DO" He drove to the house
given above, which was occupied by
Jacob Rosenzweig, physician; re-
ceived the trunk and took it to the
depot, where he met the woman. AZ
ter he got the trunk on the truck, and
before he started with it, the woman
handed him five-dollar bill. He did
not have change, and took it to IL
quor store, changed it, and gave her
all but his fare. That was the reason
why she did not pay him at the depot.
At the depot she asked to have rope
put around the trunk, and boy who
stood there asked the clerk twice for a
strap before the clerk paid any atten
ton to him. The truckman said the
boy carried the trunk from the truck
to the counter, but the boy could not
lift his end and the woman helped him.
So far the stories Of the boy and truck
man agree.
sEamUHING THE DOCTORS HOUSE,
Captain Cameron, with detectives,
then went to the house indicated, on
Second avenue. They inquired for
DR.. Rosenzweig; he was not in. Cap
tain Cameron posted his detectives
under the command of Sergeant Roo

In it were Roseuzweig's wife, her
child, four weeks old, a grown up
daughter and servant.
THE AEoRTIoNIsT CAPTURED.
The boy and Mr.. Pickett were taken
to the house, but could not identify
any present as the woman who accom-
panied the trunk to the depot. In the
meantime, Rosenzweig entered the
street. He entered the liquor store
near his residence, followed by Sercent
Hooney. Rosenzweig saw Rooney and
endeavored to escape by side door,
but the Sergeant grappled him. and a
struggle took place. Officers posted
in the neighborbood rushed into the
