p New York Nov 81. The detectives VINO
are trying to solve the mystery surroullu-
ing the death of Frank Z. Arpuckle' lhe
Denver capitalist and politician, VINO was
found dying i'll the street thursday morn
ing. have made another arrest. 'shetney
sam" Stewart, Il salesman, living at No
23I East Twenty y-fifih street, the last OF
the four who was known to have been with
Arbuckla when he was last seen, was ar-
rested last night.
The police today added an additional lit
of knowledge to the little they had learned
Concerning the doings of Arbucle. They
have now learned that he was seen at
twenty minutes OF 2 O'Clock Thursday
morning on the north side of the platform
of the elevated station at Forty-Seconu
street He was then very nuch under
the influence Of liquor, and was holding on
to a post and swaying backward and for
ward.
TRACING HIS MOVEMENTS.
Ten minutes before he was seen to go into
wakeIey's saloon, at Forty-second streetand
Sixth avenue. He was thcnaccompaniedb by
a cabman who Is Thought By the policetOb ne
the one seen with him about IL O'Clock
at Thirty-ninth street and Broadway
As result the police are inclined to think
that Arbuckle was robbed either on the cle-
waited station on nr some OF the trains about
that point. So they are at last engaged IN
making a tour of the L stations in thein
terests of seeing what can be learned to sup
port this theory
The detectives are not working on the case
with the certainty that the man was drug
red with Knockout drops. They are rather
inclined to think tIe was not. 1t was n sim
ple matter. they say. to rob man who
goes around saloons under the influence Of
liquor d:splay ying a roll of money to greedy
loungcrs who may be about tie place
hat h.ar
minus of the IL road and was there
aroused by the guards, who, as is well
known, do not use Intoxicated sleepcrs
very gently.
IL is a rather wild place at the elevated
terminus and a SPOT where welEdressed
stranger would easily attract attention to
the roughsl offering near by. Being al oused
from sleep MI Srhuckle would have been
rather dazed and could have been easily
r, bbed IL he had not been before, without
his knowledge and without causing him to
raise an alarm. lie may have walked
along in s.upefied way until he fell
where he was found.
TICKET TAKER SAW HIM.
The excitement of his nights travelling
around and the quantity of stimulants con-
sumed by him would certainly have had a
bad effect upon his heart if it was not
in perfect condition as has been claimed.
uCktt az Nilt TOftN -sttOItl
street station is positive that Arbuckle,
whom he described accurately. had his
watch when he stood On the platform. He
was Intoxicated, but not hopeleSsly so.
The detectives are now working hard to
find the crew of the train on which Ar
buckle rode. They think the trainmen will
be able 10 give some information concern
ing his final movements. Capt. O'Brien
believes Arbuckic fell asleep and rode
to the terminus of the road
I'VE will have 10 find OUT he said,
whether he was robbed ON the elevated
road, or after descending from the sta
ton at 55th street."
The train which Arbuckle boarded at
Forty second street, should have reached
the terminus of the road about LAO a. m.
1t was 2:45 O'Clock when a policeman
found him. This would leave the inter-
val OF an no Ut during which his movements
have not been traced. If he was robbed
in the street by high hwaymen, the captain
thinks that the pockets of his clothing
would have been turned inside out. They
are generally found in that co ondition
after man has been made the victim
of thugs.
The police concluded that the well
dressed man who was in the Casino, at
One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street and
