LONDON, May "a. 1T 5 reported that
Thomas O'Biion, the notorious bunco
steerer, who was extraslitcd from Eng
land to the state Of New York, and who
escaped from the custody of officers in
that state after being convicted and sem
fenced to state prison, has been arrested
at Havre, when leaving the steamer
Marseilles which left New Orleans May
/ for Havre and Antwerp. The fugitive
tried to leave tie steamer with the cargo
when he was detected and captured. The
French police appear to have been ON the
lookout for him and one of their best
detectives was at the wharf. O'Brien
appears to have waited on board until
all was quiet before attempting to go
ashore. He tried to leave in the con-
fusion attending removal of the cargo,
and would have eecared but for the
fact that watch had been left at the
steamer with instructions to keep close
lookout for him. O'Brien was greatly
taken aback by his capture. Upon be.
ing taken to headquarters he was al
once subjected to the anthropometrical
system of measurement in order that Il
he escaped again he might be readily
recognized, at least, in France. O'Brier
submitted in good grace after at first
protesting that an American citizeT
should not be subjected to the indignity
of having his toe nails measured and
calves inspected by inquisitive foreign
ers.
