HINES ASSAlLANT IS NOW LOCATED Police Confident of Soon Land ing the Man Who Shot Member of Police
 Force. AN EX-STATE PRISON MAN Local Department Satisfied That He Is known--l,as Never Been
 Arrested in This
 City.
AN EX-STATE PRISON MAN

That the man who shot Patrolman Dennis Hines in the thigh last Satur- day night so that he will be confined for some time at the St. Raphaels hospital will soon be in the tolls is the belief of the local police as expressed last night and this belief Is founded not upon desire to have the man pun ished but upon definite knowledge. The police are confident that the man they suspect Is the man who was guilty of the shooting and while it may be several days before he is landed in this city they feel very sure that he will ultimately be brought in
 Of course the man under suspicion Is not in this city and the local police must await his capture by the author tiles in other places, but from the in- formation given last night 1t looks as if the man, while perhaps not under arrest in any other place was located and would probably soon bc taken, II is stated that the man under suspicion Is not 2 New Havener, and that he Ina, never been arrested in this city but iS known to be man with a bad rec, ord, and one who has served In state, prison He has never been sent III for shooting, but has been convicted and has served time for burgaries The police hold him responsible foI tho burglary which was committed or Whitney avenue the same night tha the shooting was done. and are hope full of getting evidence enough to fast en that crime against him also wher he Is takers
 While the police are averse to giv ing out any tidings in regard to mel wanted while they are still out of th net the confident afr with which tn case Is mentioned leads to the belle that something very definite, whicl will soon lead to results, is known a l headquarters.
