 from Boston 4<
 Arrive.
CoWLEs HOLDS HIM HERE
Money Order Casher Will be Tried in This City. Where He Was Caught-Longs for
 White Way.

TWO cltles are already clam bring for the custody of Louis Zimmerman, the money order artist arrested here Tuesday afternoon by Detective Hen ry J. Donnelly, but Chief Cowles has decided that he will be brought to trial in New Haven, where he was caught, after the United States au- thorities had been on his trail for several weeks.
 Yesterday afternoon Chief Inspector Meyer of New York and Thomas H. Reddy of the same city, a deputy in spector, who has been on the track of Zimmerman for the past three months, came to New Haven and de- manded that the prisoner captured by MT Donnelly be given to them for treatment in the New York courts He is wanted there for the theft of money order books as well as for cashing several worthless money or ders. Detective Donnelly and the in spectors went to the jail and had a talk with Zimmerman. He confessed that he had taken the money order books, and that he had cashed the orders. He expressed the desire of going back to New York immediately.
 Before the inspectors had come to New Haven Detective Donnelly, back from his trip to New York and the Hotel Navarro where Zimmerman had lived, had reported to the prison CT that in the rooms where Ammer- man had directed him he had found but two money orders. Zimmerman then told the detective he had not looked in the right place and told him where he could find about 200 orders in the Navarro. In the apartments Detective Donnelly had found a com plete stamping outfit to get the money orders ready for presentation.
 Thanking Zimmerman Mir Donnelly got ready to go back to the city when the New Workers arrived. They promised to look out for the Navarro and after long talk with the New Haven police, who refused to let them have the prisoner, they returned to New York at o'clock.
 Reddy has followed Zimmerman all over New England in the last three months. He followed him to Maine I where Zimmerman made a great hii 1 by depositing a check for slS,000 with bank in payment for drug store He later raised s100 on the deposit and left the city The check proved to be worthless and the owner of the business, who thought he had found an easy mark, went back to poundins pellets. In the meantime Ammer. man had worked the hotel keeper where he was stopping for $100.
 Twenty minutes after the New York inspectors had returned home, Inspec tor Jennings of Boston and Inspector Charles M. Perkins of the same city arrived and demanded the prisoner Zimmerman shrieked with horror H, said. T would rather be a dead maI in New York, than millionaire ii Boston" "Connecticut for yours fo awhile muttered the New Havei police force under it's breath
 This morning the Boston inspector will go to the jail and talk the mat ter over with Zimmerman.
 It was the name Philip Sheridan used by the crook in cashing the ba, money order at Bullard's which final ly led to his capture. The name wa on card in Ammerman's pocke when Detective Donnelly arrested hin In Steinerts, and after that Ammer man threw up the sponge.
 Zimmerman is a good looking youn man and probably has college edu cation He has many friends at Dart mouth, from correspondence gathere at the Navarro. Al the Navarro h had one of the hest suites in tn house and was surrounded by ever , luxury
 The people at the hotel had becom suspicious of him and were not sur prised to hear of his arrest
 Zimmerman claims that he worke his game alone and that the fact ths another crowd of money order cashe1 arrived in New Haven at the sam time he did is a mere coincidence. H refuses to give the names of any aC complices
