NOW CHARGED WITH MURDER
JOSH HINES, ALL4S ROBERT HAR-
DEN, At COUNTY JAIL.
Was Bound Over on the Charge of
Picktng A. III. Buckingham's Pocket at
savin Rocl-Identified Yesterday by
New York Detectives as the Mnn
Wanted for the McGrann Murder,

Two of Captain McCluskey's detect
ives Oh New York were in New Haven
yesterday afternoon and identified the
man bound over July by the West
Haven borough court under the name Of
Robert Harden on the charge Of picking
the pockets of Alfred H. Buckingham,
as man wanted in New York for mur-
der. The New York detectives who were
here were Sergeant McManus and De-
tective Butler. Since Harden as he
gave his name, was bound over, the
West Haven authorities have communi-
Gated with the New York police giving
his description and asking if the metro
politan police knew anything about the
man. The description tailed with that
OF man wanted in New York for the
murder OF John McGrann in that city
early last month. The detectives were
accordingly sent here and visited the Jail
ON Whalley avenue yesterday afternoon.
They requested Jailor Vischer permis-
sion to talk with Harden privately but
this the jaior would not allow, not wish
ing to take any chances with his pris-
oner and the two detectives who We're
strangers to him and of whose identity
he was not sure.
Vischer did, however, permit the New
Workers. to see Harden and he evidently
recognized them at once, although no
conversation took place. After they had
visited the Jail the detectives stated that
they had positively identified the man
us Josh Hines, long time crook who
has been well known to the New York
police for some time and who is want
ed in New York for the McGrann mur-
der. They stated that the name Robert
Harden was an alias.
After leaving the Jail the two detect
ives with Captain Cowles of this city
went to West Haven to consult with the
officers there and ascertain if certain let
ters and papers had been taken from
HINES when he was arrested. They as
ceftained that some letters had been
found upon him and returned to him
when he was taken to jail. At the Jail
it was stated that Hines had torn the
letters up into small pieces in his cell.
While the New York detectives were
non-communicative in regard to the
case, it Is believed that those let
ters were important evidence in the
case. Hines was arrested at Savin |
Rock on the night of July by Borough |
Officer Loomis on the charge of picking |
the pockets of Mr.. buckingham and |
taking about $45. When he was searched |
$50 in money was found in his pockets. |
He denied the charge and refused to say |
where he came from or to give any in
formation about himslf He was bound |
over to the superior court and Is held |
under $700 bonds. No steps towards ex-
tradition have yet been taken.

Members of the Special Committee
Threaten mn Injunction.
The farther the city fathers get into
the street sprinkling matter the more
tangled up they seem to be and from all
appearances unless some radical step is
taken soon to straighten out the tangle
snow will fly before any other sPrinkling
is done than that which is being done by
private agreement and by the street
railway companies. Mayor Driscoll was
very angry when asked yesterday after
noon if he had signed the orders for
sprinkling which have been passed by
the boards of aldermen and counclmen.
He refused to say whether he had sign
ed them or not and gave out the I'M
preston that it was no ones business
whether he had or not. He said that he
would take his own time about giving
out the information and that his action
in the matter would be known when he
sent communication concerning it to
the court of common council.
He professed ignorance as to why
sprinkling did not begin yesterday and
said that he knew nothing about it and
referred the reporter to the director OF
public works, who was out of town.
While he would not give any informa-
ton concerning the status of this very
important matter of public business,
others who have closely followed the va
rious twisting and turning of the sprink-
ling business, the crooked course which
II has taken since an attempt was first
made hv those interested in the CityG
welfare to have the streets sprinkled as
soon as possible were not so reticent
They stated that the mayor was bound
if possible to have the work done by
contract and that he was exerting all his
influence to that end.

Readville, Mass, July 12.-The horse

twelve heats made four races, and near
ly every heat was a stiff try for a place,

speaks well for the tracks condition
Excepting in one race the public had
the better of the pools and good runs

only incident of note was In the 2:14
