Sheriff of Dutchess County, after a
chase from Hyde Park to Rhinebeck in

desperate fight, and carried him back
to the Dutchess County Jail, prisoner.
The prisoner is alleged to be one of
two burglars who robbed the home OF
man and ex-secretary to the embassy
at Vienna. at Hyde Park. One Of the
burglars was captured near the scene
of the robbery, but the other fed
through Frederick w. Vanderbilts
estate and eluded his pursuers.
Millionaire Chanler received word
early today that the fugitive was hid
ing in a shanty at Rhinebeck. He i'm
mediately got into his automobile, and
with only his chauffeur started at a
sixty-mile pace for Rhinebeck.
He located his man in a small house
on the outskirts of the town. He en-
tered the place alone and commanded
the man to surrender.
The man sprang upon the millionaire
and a desperate hand-to-hand fight
followed. Chanler finally succeeded in
throwing his opponent off, and then,
covering him with his revolver, de-
manded he throw up his hands, The
man obeyed and the sheriff marched
him out to the automobile. The pris-
oner gave his name as Bernard Joyce
of 470 Warren street, Brooklyn He
denied he was the man wanted.
The robbery at the Landon home was
discovered by Charles Nixon, the care
taker. He telephoned to Captain
Thomas Furlong, of the New York
Central Railroads detective force.
Furlong, with several of his men,
started out. They separated, the cap
tain walking up the tracks toward
Hyde Park. When he reached the
railroad station he saw two men, each
with a bundle. One of the men wore
an expensive automobile coat, the prop
erty of Mr.. Landon.
When Furlong hurried up one of the
men ran, the other dropped his loot and
closed with the detective. For about
five minutes the two battled on the ties
the burglar vainly trying to draw his
revolver. Furlong dealt the man q
blow, which hurled him off. The cap
tain then pulled his pistol and fired
but missed. Then he brought the butt
end of the weapon down upon his an
tagonist's head, knocking him uncon-
scious.
The other burglar dashed through the
gates of the Vanderbilt estate.
Some laborers tried to stop the fugi-
tive, but the robber pulled revolver
None of the men was armed, so pursuit
seemed useless, and the thief plunged
into the woods. The millionaire sheriff
was notified, and he started in pursuit
