The Right Man at Last.

When John G. Gilson was arrested on suspicion of being the fifth Newtown burglar, he said, ''I am not the man you want, but know who and where he is." Anxious to save himself, he told Town Clerk Houlihan the story of the burgla- ry here, as he claimed to have heard it from the man who had escaped and who was known as ''New Britain Red," whose appearance and haunts he describ- ed. March l, Mir Houlihan placed de- scriptions of this man, with warrants for his arrest, in the hands of Inspector Byrnes of New York.
 Tuesday, March 12, a man giving his name as Thomas Connerty was arrested in Brooklyn for assault. Concealed weapons were found on him and a search of his apartments revealed burglars tools in profusion, besides powder pur- chased on Crown street, New Haven, similar to that used here. A letter from q pal in Springfield jail was also found, containing diagram of the jail and telling Connerty to use ladder, saw a certain bar and free his friend. Conner ty answered New Britain Reds descrip- ton and Inspector Byrnes telegraphed MT Houlihan, who obtained photo graph of Connerty. Gilson at once seized this from dozen others and said, ''That's your man.
 Two New England brakemen accom- panied Mir Houlihan to New York, Mon day and identified Connerty as one of the men who boarded their train, the morning of the burglary.
 About three months ago, Connerty and pal were disturbed at a Spring field bank by Policeman Thomas II. Coote; he was shot twice by Connerty, whose companion was captured. Learn ing of Connerty's arrest, Springfield officers claimed him as their man and Coote positively identified him. They were given until Friday to present pro per papers. Springfield has prior and more serious claim; but, if this fails to hold him, MT Houlihan has filed afi- davits which will bring him to Newtown'
 Gilson, whose story IS proven, will probably be discharged. He was identi- fled by one New England brakeman, while two others, better informed, iden- tified Connerty, who, escaping Water bury officers, made his way to the Har- lem road, unbosomed himself to Gilson and committed several hurglaries. Oi nine members of the gang, four are in WethersEeld, one in Springfield, one in Bridgeport (but he can't be held), one In New York.
 Mfr Houlihan smilingly says, s'It's all right man, just as we thought it would He deserves not little credit for the promptness with which he seized the clues which led to Connerty's arrest.
