EXCITEMENTIN BRISTOL
Desperate Encounter of a Police
Captain and Bicycle Thief.
After Stubborn Struggle the Prisoner
Escaped Badly Punished.

Intense excitement prevailed here last
evening from $3.50 until midnight At
9:30 Miss Lena Morris visited the drug
store upon Hope street, kept by John f.
Bickford, ana left her wheel standing
outside of the building. She had hardly
entered the store when a strange person
mounted the bicycle and wheeled away.
No one was able to capture him. 1t be-
came known that the person who stole
the wheel belonging TO Ezra Dixson
few days ago was In town. Some one
reported to Captain Morrisey that a
strange person had just entered DIR.
Dillon's yard upon State street. The
captain repaired to the spot, followed
by large crowd OF sigbtseers. The
man with the wheel which he had
stolen from Dixson was found, and the
captain grappled with him ano brought
him to the street, where 1t was discovered
that he had a bowie knife and revolver.
1t was with much difficulty that these
deadly weapons were taken ffom him.
The captain held on to his prisoner and
with one hand wss trying to get his
billy from his pocket when the prisoner
struck the officer terrible blow in the
eye. After he got control ot his club he
gave the prisoner terrible beating,
breaking the club over his head. This
did not subdue him, and ne managed to
escape, and the crowd, which had sur
rounded the officer and his victim,
allowed him to pass through without
even attempting to stop him or aid in
arresting him. He was a tall, wiry per-
son, nearly six feet tall, and a very pow
erfui man. The captain deserves much
credit, although the thief got away. The
officer has the stolen wheel, the revolver
and knife.
Mr.. Hugh Breen informs the police
that the thief came to his house on Pros
pect street and asked him for a hat, as
he had trouble with the officer and had
lost his hat. He showed them his mead,
which was badly swollen and bruised,
and he asked them to pour water upon
mis- head lie then left. The roads lead
ing to Warren wero guarded all night,
and all OF the Officers in Warren. Bar
rington and Providence were notified to
te on the lookout for the escaped
prisoner.
THIEF MAYB RE THE TAUNTON MURD-
ERER.
When the news OF the fight tetween
Captain Morrisey and an unknown
bicycle thief reached Taunton today il
was Immediately suspected that the fel-
low at Bristol is Richard Marley, the
man who murdered Fred Strange at
Taunton on the night Of June %.
Tho description OF strange's murderer
as furnished by Constable. Corey OF laun-
ton, is as follows:
six feet 1 inch; slim built, S6 or 2S
years old, weight 170 pounds, sandy
hair, thin moustache, high cheek
bones. sharp, thin features, quick mo-
tion and n hard drinker.
This description. Captsin Morrisey says,
tallies exactly with that OF the man with
whom he had tine encounter last night
and the Massachusetts, officers are now
securing the country in the vicinity OF
Warren and Bristol, follow ing up the
most tangible clew which has been pre-
sented since the night Of tine murder.

Matthew h. Fabey was adjudget in
sane and was committed to the State
asylum. Fahey for week or more
has been paradng through the yards In
the vicinity OF Elm and South streets
with an iron bar, which undoubtedly
accounts for the many reports OF a
strange man seen in that vicinity. Yes
terday he maze a violent assault upon his
mother, throwing croeEery at her. She
then came to the conclusion that her son
would do some one harm, so she deemed
1t advisable to have him committed to
the asylum.
