One of the New Cars Ran Off the
 Track Yesterday.
 The deputy coroner has at last made d move ill the mysterious tragedy Of the Cotton Hollow house by ordering the arrest of the hOStler, who gave his name as Murray. but whose real name is supposed to be William FitZ- patrick. The deputy coroner and De tectiVe LeetS arrived i'll town yeSter- day morning on the 9:40 train and i'm mediately proceeded to the Cotton Hollow house where they spent the day examining the inmates of the house. About 3:3O o'clock the coroner ordered this man Fitzpatrick to be placed under arrest The arrest was made by Constable Butz, who brought the man to the Naugatuck lock up. On what charge f1tZ- patrick was arrested could not be found out. Very little is known about Fitzpatrick but it is said that ne be- longs somewhere in New York state and that ha was around here few weeks ago looking for work and hap pened to go down there and was en- gagged as hostler. The woman who it is now known went to the room with Melberg on that fatal night was sub jected to a strict crosS-eXamlnatlon and it is claimed that her testimony threw enough light on the case to justify the coroner in making the one arrest already made.
