hut they do POW.
v.i-hin a few days Il circular was
cont ont signed by chief Rufus Il.
wode and \. Il. Hodges. the state de-
tive Of Taunton, announcing that
pichard Quinn and Frank iiennessey
NOD haen indicted By the Bristol coun-
~ grand jury over two months ago.
I'D that they shoIld be arrested. The
oirr,Iar was written in such hurry

does not appear on it. although more
,tan Two months has elapsed since the
Indictment was found.
Tho circular does not mention the
osencn with which the men are charg-
l. i,,.I 4
mapts charge both men with being i'm
rlicated in the theft of coo pounds Of
wool at Norton and the larceny of the
cannon at AttlcboIp.
The arrest is ordered by the chief Of
the state police in these two indict-
ments, but in Quinn's case if he is
caught. there is no doubt he will be
bsli until an investigation is made Of
his possible connection with the Eos
burgh case, even though Robert s. Fos-
burgh is under Indictment for the
shooting
The sudden determination on the
mart of the state force to take Quinn
into custody as soon as possible is in
consequence of an intimation from an
eminent legal authority in the COM
monwealth that it would be 4 good
idea fol the government to know some
thing about Quinn before it started on
the trial of Fosburgh.
This trained criminal prosecutor
thought that in view of the evidence
against Quinn which the Forburgh de-
tectives have been accommodating it
would appear that the prosecution was
ry lax if it made no effort to pur-
lie the investigation OF that missing
member of the wire gang.
At this very late day. therefore. the
state police have been told to get
Quinn. Detective Arthur Sherman.
who knows Quinn and who has been
advising the Forburgh family, has been
searching for Dirty Dick for some
two months and is still endeavoring to
find him
With the government and the defence
both pursuing Quinn this conspicuous
member of the wire gang becomes a
more important figure than ever in the
Fosburgh case.
