Got Away with Two Hundred Dollars
Typewriter Agent Gardner Alias Fulton Sought by EN-.
ploye-Left Norwich After Transaction Wrong Party
Arrested in New York.

Some time ago, two months or more,
an agent going by the name of ]. G.
Gardner, alias Fulton, was In Nor
witch selling typewriters, being en-
ployed by an agent Of the Smith Pre-
nlier company. After doing business
here for some time. 1t is claimed that
he skipped from here owing his en-
ployer about 5000. AS he did the Job
here, the Hartford agent asked Chief
Murphy to look the man up, and upon
the allegation of John Humphreys of
Pearl street, Hartford, a warrant was
issued October "a for the mans arrest.
The warrant called for J. C. Gardner,
alias Fulton.
Last week Chief Murphy received in
formation to the effect that the man
wanted was in New York, and he at
once caused his detention, but the
complainant was unable to identify the
man who was arrested as the one
wanted, and his discharge followed.
The man answered the description and
part Of the name was the same, but
the employer could not swear he was
the man.
Regarding the action in New York,
the Sun of Sunday had the following:
Hamilton Fulton, Jr! of 237 Macon
street, Brooklyn, was taken to the
Tombs police court yesterday from po-
lice headquarters, and was there in
formed that the wrong man had been
arrested. He was promptly discharged
by Magistrate Moss.
Mr.. Fulton had passed a night Of dis
comfort in a cell at police headquar-
ters, and he declared that he had many
grievances to think over. His arrest
was caused by a striking resemblance
to some other fellow.
This other fellow got away with SAT
up in Norwich, Conn, while acting as
manager Of a branch office of a type
writer company.

An officer from Norwich came to
this city and going to police headquar-
ters. said he was looking for fugitive
from justice and expected to find him
in this city. He showed a photograph
of the man he wanted and gave other
information that induced Detective
Brown and another man from head
quarters to go to Mr.. F>ulton's home on
Friday night and arrest him.
The officer from Norwich disappear
ed for a time, but showed UP at police
headquarters yesterday morning, and
after taking look at the prisoner said
he was not the man.
Mr.. Fulton said in court that he felt
in need of sleep after his night at po-
lice headquarters. There were so many
bugs in the cell that he had to keep
awake to fight them.
why the board OF health doesn't
loook after the sanitation of the cells
occupied by human beings is more than
can explain" he said. Perhaps the
city is too heavily in debt to buy lit
tie insect powder. 1t must be munich
pal poverty also that keeps the city
from giving a blanket over night to a
citizen who is forced to occupy one of
the cells. There was a wooden bench
on which to sleep, and although the
cell was small had cellmate. was
