ANOTHER ARREST.

Bridgeport. Ct, Septemb bsr 81 -Anoth-
or arrest was made in connection with
the Yellow Mill Pond murder mystery
late tonight, the second party being a
man from Stratford. but whose name
the officers refuse to df fvulge. 1t was In
timated that the man was only held on
suspicion. No name was entered on the
slate and no particulars could be OBJ
tained from the officers. Whether the
visit of the officers to Stratford has any
connection with the fact that Charles
ID. Plumb, fish dealer OF that
place, when 1e learned of the de-
velopments relative to the Gill identi-
f1cation asked at the post office for
the letter care of IS. J. JONES' which
was refused him, is matter of conjsc.
ture.
1t was learned by the police, moreover,
that Plumb, after leaving the post office,
talked with somebody in Hartford over
the telephone and his talk was of nature
togarouse suspicious among the officials.
Foster reached here ON the 8. 50 train in
charge of Detective Arnold and there
were a great many people gathsred about
the station to get view of him. An at
tempt was made to get statement from
him after he was locked up, but he utter
ly refused to talk.

Man Called Out TO Raise Fallen
HFSe.
REFUSED TO GO AND POSSIBLY
SAVED HIS LIFE.
Incident Said to Have Occurred After the
North Saco Murder-If So 1t Discredits
the Crellin Theory-Police Following
Up Supposed Clue.
.srEc1A1 TO THE pREssJ

sSFEC1AL TO THE PRESSJ
Saco, September 2I.-After several days
in which the officers have bnen able to get
no clue as to the murderer of Ivory
Boothby, the North Saco farmer, there
came to their kno wledge today what may
be startling development in this strange
case. BY diligent search the authorities
have pretty well established the fact that
the man seen in the vicinity shortly after
the murder was the man that Farmer
Mason drove to Portland the next day.
This man has been located in that city as
late as last Monday when he was seen at
the post Office The possible clue which
is now attracting attention is furnished
by Sanford man who brings here a
story that Mr.. Samuel NOVEL; of that
town was called upon one night recently
to go out and aid the caller in raising a
ia lien horse. This was the story which
lured Mr.. Boothby to his death. 1t was
the tale told Mr.. Pullen who declined to
leave his house, and by so doing very
likely saved his life. The Sanford story,
as'it reaches the officers, places the occur
renee at the house Of Mr.. NOVEL; after the
murder of Mr.. Boothby. If that is SO, the
significance of 1t is at once apparent, for
if the man who killed Boothby went to
Sanford he evidently is not the man who
was driven into Portland and it may be
that the officers, even should they secure
the man for whom they have been looking
for, would not have the culprit The
story as it reached here was, however, SO
indefinite as to the time of the attempt
reported to lure Mr.. NOVEL; from his
home, that both Coroner Bradbury and
City Marshal Burns received it with
caution. This did not deter MIR. Brad
bury from taking promps measures to as
certain the bearing it may have upon the
case. He told the PRESS correspondent
tonight that he had written to Mr.
Novel;, and if that gentleman, who Is
we'll to do farmer in Sanford, has any
of value, he will be sum
moned to appear before the inquest,
which is still held open.
