During tho last two ~ three weeks tho
| guests OF the Metropole and Victoria hotels In
Northumberland avenue have had an oppor-
tunity to mako tho acquaintance OF q good
looking young EnElishman. dressed in tho
| height Of London fashion. who has been hang
| ing about the smoking rooms Of the two hos
| telries. apparently with no further purpose in
| view than the consumption OF brandy and soda.
Tho good-looking young Englishman. how
ever. did have further purpose In view. and
no accomplished it on last Wednesday whom
he arrested Tom OBrien. the we'll New
| York crook. who Is wanted on Manhattan
Island for grand larceny and at Albany for
| jumping his bail. The good-looking young
Englishman was Inspector Frank G. Forrest
| OF Scotland Yard. and O'Brien was tho
third American criminal he has arrested this
| week. the other two being John Mccormick.
who is charged with forgery by tho Metropol-
itan Life Insurance Company of New York and
| Joseph j. Ashforth. who Is charged with em-
bezzling funds from the Royal Arcanum.
| Forest took the warrants in the three cases.
The first two he executed with comp arativoly
| little difficulty. but O'Bricn has kept him busy
| for some time. and Detective Reilly OF Inspec-
| tor Byrnes's staff who is over here to take Nc
Cormack back. made matters more interesting
| by informing the English detective that
| O'Brien was a man who would not be taken
alive and would sell his life dearly.
When O'Brien arrived In London month
| ago he was shadowod by detectives from Wa
| tcrloo station to tho Hotel Metropoe. Ho
| found that they were on his track. however.
and managed to get out OF tho hotel unob-
served. but was compelled to leave his lug
gage behind him. few days later he wrote
to the hotel management from Belgium that
he Ind been called out OF town and
| requested that his rooms no vacated and
his baggage stored. Shortly aiterward
friend OF his called. paid his bill. and took his
luggage to some fashionable chambers in
Church Passage. Piccadllly. whero Inspector
Forest kept a watchful eye upon It.
Aweek ago tho police learned that O'Brien
was living ut tho Hotel L'Athan6s in Paris. but
before tho Fronch and English authorities
could combine their forces no got wind OF their
intentions and decamped on Tuesday. His
capture on Wednesday was by more
chance. Forest was taking luncheon in
Gattis restaurant In the Strand early In the
afternoon with Charles Hodson. clerk In tho
United States Legation. who knew O'Brien by
sighr. when O'Brlen. who had just arrived from
Paris. came across from Charing Cross station
to get something to eat He chose a table In
quiet corner near the door. and had Just
taken of his coat when no recognized Hodson.
O'Brien at once roso and began to put on his
coat. but before he had accom- lished 1t Forest
had called him by name aud placed him under
arrest. O'Brlen was taken SO completely by
surprise that he admitted his identity at once
and made no effort to escape.
"You can't do anything with me any way"
he said. Tho extradition law wasn't in force
when made my play"
