ON MARTIN LYNCH'S TRAIL
PROBABILITY THAT HE MAY BE
RECAPTURED TODAY.
Detectives DAILY nnd Donnelly Clos
After Him in Observation-Disclosures
Dunn Saw Him at Mount Carmel
Tuesday Morning-Another Arrest
Made Yostorday in Connection With
the Cnse.

1t is probable that within twenty-
four hours Martin Lynch, the convicted
burglar who escaped from the county
Jail on Monday night, will be landed
back behind the bars of the Whalley
avenue institution. Sheriff Dunham
has sent out pictures of Lynch with
his description and it was said at the
Jail last night that the sheriff had Of
fered a reward for his capture. The
amount Of the reward offered could not
be ascertained. Local officers have ass
certained that Lynch was seen at Mt.
Carmel about 4 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, few hours after the time when
he is supposed to have made his escape
from the JAIL
1t seems that Tuesday morning att
the hour mentioned B, c. Dunn, night
telegraph operator at the Mt. Carmel
station, noticed man looking through
the window into the telegraph office.
The man stood by the window for q
few minutes and then entered the Of
flee. He inquired about the time of
trains, and engaged the operator in
also understood telegraphy, having
learned 1t in the reform school.
Mr.. Dunn informed the man about
the time Of trains and the fellow re-
manned in the office about twenty min
utes, at the end of which time he
boarded a northbound accommodation
and freight train on the Canal road.
The operator thought nothing more
about the matter until he read in the
papers the next day about Lynch's es-s
cape AS he read the description OF
the fugitive he saw that 1t tailed iden-
tically with that of the man who had
been there Tuesday morning. He noti-
fed Captain Cowles of the New Haven
detective bureau and Detective DAILY
was detailed to 60 to Mt. Carmel and
interview Mr.. Dunn. Daily showed the
operator Lynch's photograph and then
Dunn was confirmed in his belief that
his visitor Tuesday morning was
Lynch.
The conductor Of the train which the
man supposed to have been Lynch
boarded at Mt. Carmel was William G..
Norris DAILY interviewed him and as
certained where Lynch left the train. 81

nelly went up the Canal road on the
trail of the fugitive and followed him
to Springfield. The two detectives were
in that city early yesterday afternoon,
and last night were thought to be
close after him. 1t is probable that
he is making for Canada, and the de-
tectives may be obliged to follow him
farther north.
Yesterday Detective Dunlap arrested
man named Daniel Mccarthy in con-
nection with the Lynch case 1t seems
that Mccarthy yesterday finished UP a
jail sentence and was released. Just
before he left the Jail Stephen Moran,
the man who is held on the charge Of
assisting Lynch to escape gave him a
letter to mail. Mccarthy took the let-
ter and claims that he did not know it's
contents nor the charge on which Nor
an was held. He says that he had no
idea that he was doing anything un-
lawful when he took the letter to mail.
The letter was addressed to some one
on Oak street, but to whom could not
be learned last night. the detectives, of
course being very Vncommunicative
about everything concerning the case.
