Capture by
Inspector
O'Day.
HORSES PERHAPS RECOVERED.
Prisoner Thought to Have
Been Implicated in a
Local Robbery.

Inspector Patrick O'Day telephoned
Chief of Police brennan yesterday af-
ternoon that he had arrested q man
named Hanson in Wolfboro, n. H., who,
it is alleged, was implicated in the rob
berry of horses belonging to Capt. Levi
Lincoln several months ago.
He stated that he would bring the
man to Worcester as soon as he got
requisition papers. Gaffney Bos-
ton horse dealer, was arrested shortly
after Capt. Lincoln was swindled out
of his horses, and was indicted by the
grand jury. The horses were never re-
covered, and Inspector O'Day has been
on Hanson's track ever since.
1t is supposed that the horses were
recovered by Inspector O'Day, and that
Hanson will be brought back to Wor-
cester in a few days. 1t is an import
ant capture, and reflects great credit
on the Worcester inspectors.
