PLAINFIELD TURKEYS.
Henry Allison Arrested for Stealing
the Birds.

Detectives Morgan and Gerber and Pa
trolman Walter Cox arrested Henry Allison
yesterday morning on the charge of being a
fugitive from Plainfield, and Louis Hyman,
of 1928 South Illinois street, on the charge of
receiving stolen goods. Six fine turkeys,
confined in the basement of the police sta
ton, are witnesses against the two men. A
farmer named Townsend, of Hendricks
county. told the detectives yesterday that he
had lost wagonload of poultry and that
he suspected Henry Allison had stolen
them. The detectives and the patrolman
called on Hyman at his home, for reasons
best known to themselves, and asked him
if he had bought some turkeys. Yes. he
said he had bought six turkeys yesterday
afternoon. He produced the turkeys and
Townsend identified them as those stolen
from him. The poultry was stolen last
night however, and Hyman's saying that
he bought them in the afternoon was evil
dence against him and he was arrested. AL
lson will be tried at Plainfield on the charge
of stealing He has done time for steal
ing, and several years ago he killed a man
in fight at Plainfield, the detectives say.

PROBABLE BIG CATCH:
New York Police Believe They Have Noted
Burglar.

New York, Oct "a man who said
he was William E. Travis, aged 80,
address refused, was arraigned in the
Centre street police court today and
was remanded back to police head
quarters until Tuesday, at the request
of Detective Sergeants Kerr and Fo-
garty, who arraiened him in court. If
the story the police tell of their prison
er Is correct, they have in custody one
of the cleVerest of house burglars.
Travis was arrested on Saturday
morning at the Grand Central station,
just after he had alighted from a
train from Hartford. CT, where it is
alleged he committed series of bur-
glaries recently When the police
arrested Fig BilP' Mason, now COM
mitted to prison in Philadelphia and
awaiting trial on the charge of muir
der. he told Capt. McClusky that he
owed his nlisfortunes to association
with thieves in his leisure hours.
He told McClusky that there was only
one real smart thief. man whom he
knew well, but who never associated
with thieves, always working alone.
This mysterious person, Mason assert
ed. had never been arrested, and fairly
rolled in wealth. On looking through
some of the memoranda found among
big Bill's'' effects, the captain came
across several addresses. One Of these
was in Schermerhorn street, Brooklyn.
This house was diligently watched
night and day by detectives. The oc-
cupant of the house, who proved to be
the prisoner, Travis, appeared at his
home at intervals only. He was sup
posed by his neighbors to be a COM
mercial traveller, and lived there with
his wife and her mother.
