Thirteen Arrests Have Now Been Fruitlessly Made In TrumbuIl Mur- der Case, Which May Be Added to List of Unsolved Crimes-Tobin Gives Clear Account.

l Gives Clear Account. Thirteen arrests of suspicious char | acters have been made up till to-day | in connection with the fiendish murder of aged Sarah Dibble at her home in Trumbull, last Friday. But no clue | has developed giving the police any
 kind of a. clue to work upon. There
 is fear that this will be the second
 murder that has baffled the police | within a reasonably short time. It was only a few months ago that | little Philip Mastrionrs body was found | in the woods south of the Trumbull | and there were evidences of other out rases having been committed on the
 body of the ten year old child. The manner of the murder of aged Mrs. Dibble by a strangler leads to the I belief that the woods north of the city. and along the Trumbull line. are the favorite haunt of some half crazed fiend. Almost the entire 20 acres of the Dibble farm is woodland and it is only miles across country to where the body of the Mastrioni boy was found in the woods with a shoestring drawn tightly about his neck. Captain George Arnold went to the scene of the crime this afternoon to
 make a new start on the case and to secure new evidence if possible. Thomas Tobin. the first man arrest
 ed, was a former inmate of the aims
 house. who was arrested few years
 ago for soaring young women in
 Nichols. He was in the neighborhood
 of the Dibble house on the day of the
 killing, but told the police a convincing story that exonerated him from Sus-
 picion.
 Several efforts to trip him by cross
 examination failed. Supt. Birmingham and Sheriff Hawley are satisfied that
 Tobin is not the guilty one.
 Another suspect was George Seearing
 who was arrested in a barn in Con-
 necticut avenue by Officer Dempsey
 He proved that he was in New York, on Friday. and came to this city on the boat.
 Deputy Sheriff Plumb of Trumbull and State Policeman Verilli headed a raid upon tramp camp about mile from the Dibble home, Saturday afternoon. The camp is in deserted quarry formerly occupied by the B.
 D Fierce JE. tCo. Eleven kramps tramps were taken into custody and taken before Justice George w. Tuck CT who committed them sto jail for 10 days on the charge of yagrancy. This will enable the policexEto lay their any evidence be presented throwing any suspicion upon any member Of the gang. Sheriff Hawley has been unable to get anything tangible from the tramps and Deputy Sheriff Plumb said this afternoon that it was pretty well established that the murderer was not among the vagrants.
 It was hinted today that the town of Trumbull would ask States Attor- ney Stiles Judson to invoke the aid of the Pinkerton agency in the case, not because the local authorities were not doing all they could, but because the Pinkertons might have a new way of looking at the case and the town did not want to have it said that the effort to capture the murderer was not the best that could be made.
 Captain Arnold and Sergeant Cron- an went over the Dibble place, yester- day, and had a talk with George Dibble who was the only other occu- pant of the house besides his mother, the murdered woman. Dibble had found something new at the house. The side door on the south side of the building which was never used by either him or his mother had been un- locked sometime on Friday while he and his mother had always kept the door locked.
 The names given by the eleven tramps arrested are Edward Duffy, of Bridgeport, A. B. Campbell of Mich igan, Joseph Dralbben of London, Eng, Daniel Bone of Boston, Mass, Emil NudZ, New Haven, Conn.,, Ed ward Beker, Bridgeport, Edward Kav- anaugh, Waterbury, James Haron.
