VIII BE Prosecuted Here.
While it is probable that the local
authorities will prosecute the three men
now held here, the New York police
believe they will get a chance to i'm
prison them for long terms later. There
have been a lost list of burglaries in
Greater New York that the police be-
lieve Williams and members of his
gang know something about.
After the robberies were reported to
the police of New York the police of
Brooklyn began to receive reports of
burglaries.
About this time a stool-pigeon sneaked
into police headquarters n confided
to a detective.
'Humpty Williams is in town" said
the stool pigeon. He's on the job regu-
larly, too"
''Who is working with 'Humpty?'"I
the detective asked.
Dick Vaughn, of 800 West Tenth
street, who says he is a salesman. and
Martin Tiffany, of 80 Clinton street,
who used to be a baker, replied the
stool-pigeon.
Then the eight detectives were called
into the inspectors office, and these in
structions were given them:
Get a line on Humpty Williams, and
don't you let him get out of your sight.
All the money you need will be sup
piled. Just keep after him and follow
him to the ends of the earth, il neces-
sary. Don't arrest him for a little job.
Get the goods on him and hen nall
him."
How we'll the officers folloWed their
instructions is shown by the roundup
of last night and today. However, the
police say that there will be additional
arrests.

field county, Conn, under the name of
Edward Wilson for a safe-cracking and
was released June 16, 1906. Tive days
later he was picked up in this city on
suspicion when he tried to pawn a
