him, and prompt aid saved his life. From
the description given by him the police 90;
on the track Of the leader Of the murderous
gang aud made him prisoner last night
He is desperate rHfiian, and the detectives
believe they have caught in him the perpe-
traitor Of one Of the most savage
murders ever committed in this city. The
victim was a lauDdryman. The circum-
stances OF the murder are similar TO those
attending the outrage on the Newark China
man. From the Newark store the despera-

man on being taken to police headquarters

the Greely relief expedition. About a year

with seventeen knife wounds in his back. |
The murderer was never found, but |
the police claim to have proofs that |
Tom Sing Is the man. Information |

robbed his store At leisure. In the stove pipe |
they found his money, 5000, and having Sc
cured IL returned and, as they believed, fin |
ished the owner and departed, locking the |
store behind them. They had not been at
any pains 70 conceal their identity, meaning
evidently TO kin their victim and prevent him
betrsying them. Hong Chang was, there
fore, able 10 direct the search OF the officers
and give intelligent counsel from his sick
bed, and Detectives Sergeant HALEY and
