Thomas f. Kelly of Coils Street Admits
That He Stole Arthur Mays Horse-Thc

Detective William J. Frey Of the Dix
we'll avenue police station last night
captured a horse thief for whom the
local police and detectives have been
searching for the past week. He ar
rested Thomas #. Kelly of No Coils
street on the charge of stealing the
horse and wagon and harness of Ar
thur May, painter, of No. % Vine
street, on October l.
On that day Mr. May hltched MS
team in front of house, When MI.
May left the house his horse and wagon
were gone and he thought at first that
the horse had broken loose and wan
dered away. He searched the neigh
borhood and not finding the outfit noti-
fed the police.
Detective Frey ascertained that the
horse, wagon and harness, all worth
about $50. had been sold to the pro-
prtetor of a livery stable on Orange
street near Court street for Sl2. Frey
secured a description of the man who
had sold the outfit and from that de-
sscription spotted Kelly, whom he ar
rested on Coils street about 9:l5 O'CLOCK
last night. When first arrested Kelly
admitted that he had sold the horse
wagon and harness, but said that he
had found the rig, the horse wander
ing about the streets. Later he con-
fessed to having stolen them, but In ex-
tenuatlon of his action pleaded that he
was intoxicated at the time.
Kelly is about twenty-three years oil
age and conducted a grocery store on
Coils street not long ago. More re-
Gently he had been employed as a gro

His capture by Detective Frey Of the
Dixwell avenue precinct Is considered
by police officials q very clever piece
of work. The stables where the horse
was sold Is within half a block of po-
lice headquarters in the territory of the
first precinct Frey has recovered the
wagon and harness and expects to get
the horse in day or two The man
to whom the horse was sold has traded
him to a man living outside the city.
