Rlondin Captured.

Joseph w. Blondin who is charged
with the murder of his wife at Chelms-
ford, Mass, last June. was arrested in
New York Tuesday. He called at the
police headquarters Monday to apply for
an engineers license. At that time his
picture was posted on the wall with an
announcement of reward for his appre-
hension roundsman noticed the sim
ilarity between the man and the picture,
and notified Captain Titus of the detec-
tive bureau. Captain Titus directed Blon-
din to call again, and when he appeared
the next day, a detective from Boston
identified him, and he was PROMPTLY ar
rested.
The headless body of Mrs. Blondin was
found in the woods at Chelmsford. She
had been living with her husband in
a lodging house in Boston. One theory
was that the man strangled the woman in
a passion of jealousy, concealed the body
in trunk. and took it to Chelmsford,
where the head was cut off to prevent
identification. Blondin disappeared from
Boston, and men were arrested for the
crime in all parts of the country. Blon-
din claims that he has been at work as a
coal passer on ocean liners, and also as
an engineer at White Plains, N. Y. He at
first claimed that his name was Barnard,
but later acknowledged that he was
Blondin. He said he last saw his wife
at the South station in Boston, where
she intended to take a train for Provi-
dence. He said that when he learned that
her body had been found, he feared he
would be arrested, and fled from the city.
He was willing to return to Boston and
said he would prove his innocence.

"coppery" taste. An offensive breath,
