Middletown \. Y, Oct 9.-AnOther arrest,
from which it is hoped important evidence may
be obtained to clear up the triple murder here,
was made to-day by Policeman Charles Green
| and John McCoach at Port Jervis This evening
they brought back Martin Cuddebach, who was
employed on a farm adjoining that of the olney
1 brothers.
About o'clock tonight Mrs. Martin Ingerick
was so much improved at Thrall Hospital in
this city, as to submit to being questioned by
Assistant District Attorney Rogers without fear
of any bad consequences arising from it. All
day long Mr. Rogers had been anxiousy wait
ing for a call from the hospital telling him that
| important information might be divulged to him.
When the, call finally came he lost no time in
getting to the hospital and it is rumored this
evening that his questions were answered quick
Iy, and that before he had obtained answers to
half dozen questions Mr.. Rogers rushed from
the bedside afsthe Injured woInans4s saving he
would return and finish his examination later
II is now thought that Mrs Ingerick has
named the perpetrators of the crime, but only
Mr.. Rogers, Deputy Sheriff Hermann and Chief
of Police Brinckerhof know the full particulars
of the woman's statement Half an hour after
ward at Police Headquarters it was denied that
! intelligent answers had been made to Mr.. Rog-
ers by Mrs. Ingerick. It was said that Mr.
Rogers had failed to get the much desired an
swers from the woman. No moves had been
made by the police up to o'clock
AS told above, Policeman Charles Green and
John McCoach. who off duty, started to-
night on a clew. they took train to Port Jer-

they returned at o'clock they were accompa-
nied by Martin Cuddeback, who was employed

joining that of the Olney brothers. He is about

the Beakes farm. 1t while working there
that he heard three shots soon after returning
from dinner. Following these there were three
more shots, and then he heard cries from an
injured person, apparently coming from the
Derby woods, about thousand feet distant.
It was in these woods that the bodies of Willis
and Fred Olney were discovered early Saturday
inorning. Cuddeback informed his employer
that when he heard the shots, followed by cries,
he started to go to the woods, but, hearing no
more thought nothing was wrong and continued
his work ignorant of the crime.
The movements of Cuddeback. SO far as has
been found out show that he left the Beakes
farm at noon on Saturday, not telling Mr. Beakes
where he was going. The police of Port Jervis
state that Cuddeback was in Port Jervis on Sat
urday and until he found in the saloon in
that village by the Middletown policemen. Cud-
deback was apparently in an advanced state of
intoxication when he alighted from the train in
Middletown. He remarked to the policeman
he got off the train:
You fellows think you will get something out
of me about the murder, but you won't"
Cuddebach has mark on the side of his face
where the skin has been knocked off. and the
face is bruised somewhat. In relation to this an
officer was hurriedly dispatched tonight to the
Olney house where il is said that small piece
of what appears to be human skin. found
clinging TO the edge of a door and was left there
In the capture of Cuddeback it is believed some
important evidence will be developed, and that
within very short time. He was put through
the third degree but the results of this have not
yet been disclosed
