ANOTHER POLICY MAN.
Attacked by Man With Brass Knuc-
 kIeS i'm New Britain.

New Britain, Aug 19.-.sHe came here to kill me just as Bosworth was killed" These words spoken in moment of anger by Policy Writer George Hayes, while referring to Fol- lev Writer Samuel J. Kelley, who Lad just murderously attacked him with pair of brass knuckles, have agam turned public attention to the untan- gled murder of the envelope man" in his policy shop August 2
 Kelley, who halls from Hartford, Meriden and this city, was convicted of the assault yesterday morning in police court and after being fined $5 was allowed to go unquestioned. The trouble started Tuesday night m Volkmann's saloon on Arch street. Hayes was standing in the barrooni when Kelley walked in and asked him to step outside. Hayes went out and quarrel arose between the two men. Persons standing nearby heard Kelley say: You've been queering the game"
 Hayes and Kelley then walked down the street. As they went into the shade of some trees Kelley suddenly turned at Hayes and struck him. Hayes, who saw the glint of steeI III Kelley's hand, but did not know whaT it came from, and being great deal smaller than Kelley. dodged the first blow and then ran toward Walnut street. On the corner of that street he found Policemen Coyle, Kievers and Coffey. He told them of KeITey's assault and the policemen arrested Kelley, who had started to walk up the other side of Arch street.
 As the policemen walked up Kelley put his hand to his hip pocket as If to draw a revolver. The officers seized him and pulling his hands from his pockets found that he had pair Of brass knuckles half over his wrist. They were what Hayes had seen. Knuckles are among the most mur- derous sort of weapons. since blow from them will break the strongest bones and men have been known Ju be killed with one bang on the head.
 Kelley was taken to the police sta tion. Hayes followed and Policeman Kievers says that Kelley among other angry words directed at Hayes said: "TIe, came out here to kill me as Bos- worth was killed" Kelley tele-. graphed to "Bi9l'' Crowley of Hart ford for bonds. but he stayed in the station until morning. Yesterday morning friends, including it is safd, James Wa1dron, the "king of policy in Hartford, came here and paid his fine.
 The phrase said to have been used by Kelly, "You've been queering the game" is another strange circum stance of the affair. This is said to mean that Kelley beleived that Hayes had been telling the police details in the policy business in New Britain, es pecially in its bearing on the Boswortn murder It is supposed that this all leged betrayal of his associates was Kellev's reason for attacking Hayes.
 Both Kelley and Hayes were ac- uuainted with Bosworth. Hayes Is said to have worked for Kelley at one time. Both men have records Ill crime. Kelley is well known III Hartford. He went there from Pat erson, N. J., about twelve years ago. Tn Paterson he was a policeman, bur is said to have been forced to give up his job because of some fight he into. When he first went to Hart ford he secured place at Bagot's res taurant on City Hall square. He worked there or in other restaurants for ten years.
