On Way to Hartford in Charge of De-

 William R. Travis, who is we'll known as the "Gentleman Burglar" and who is wanted in this city and in Hartford for burglary, was taken through here yesterday by two Hartford detectives Smith and Farrell, on the way from New York to Hartford, where he will be tried first. Travis waived extradi- tion papers before Judge Fitzgerald, in Part I. of the court of general sessions, in New York, yesterday morning, and was turned over to Detectives Smith and Farrell
 Travis and his guards arrived here from New York about 8 o'clock yester- day afternoon and were obliged to wait here some time for a train to Hartford. While they were waiting Travis was allowed to walk up and down the depot platform, manacled to one of the de- tectives. He was watched by curi- ous crowd, who had heard of the burg laries which he is charged with having committed. Many had read in the New York papers of his wonderful strength and were surprised to see that he was but a small man of medium height and rather slight build.
 Travis had a novel way of following his business. Instead of having pals, as most men of that stamp do, it is said that he never had anything to do with criminals, but invariably did his jobs all alone. It is said that he has been at the business for ten years and that this is the first time that he has been caught. His capture by New York detectives was a clever piece of work. A detective was tipped off by a dealer in precious metals that Travis was bringing quantity of stuff-silver spoons and things of that kind-to him. The detectives then watched Travis and two of them followed him to New Ha- ven one day. While here they saw enough of his actions to convince them that he was a man dangerous to be at large. They met him on the street face to face several times and finally, fear ing that he would notice them and grow suspicious, they went back to New York and waited for him to return there
 They kept close watch and the next day after their return to New York they saw Travis step off a New Haven train at Grand Central station. The detectives, not wishing to be seen con- cerned in the case and reveal their identity, gave the word to two police men, who arrested Travis. He was taken to police headquarters in New York and searched. In his pockets was found a quantity of small silverware and jewelry, some of the silverware be- ing marked Sumner and Edith ? That same day Captain Cowles of the local detective bureau had received word from Hartford of a burglary com mitted the night before at the Sumner residence in that city, in which silver ware marked Sumner" and 'Edith'' had been taken.
 After Travis arrest the New York police telephoned to Captain Cowles asking if any silverware marked in that way had been stolen here. Cap tain Cowles telephoned back that sil- verware answering the description had been stolen in Hartford the day before, and it is for this reason that Travis is now taken to Hartford for trial instead of being brought to New Haven
