Mystery Of Many Thefts
Thought to Be Solved
By Capture Of Porter on The
Steamship Calvin Austin.
Stolen Goods Found on Him and
More in His Room In Roxbury.

Boston, Aug 1.-The mystery of the
series of robberies on the steamer Cal
vim Austin of the Eastern Steamship
John, N. B., by which during the past
two years the boat and it's passengers
have lost thousands of dollars, is be-
leved by the police of this city to have
been cleared up with the arrest today
of Thomas w. Wright, aged 81, por-
ter on the steamer.
During the past two seasons the
steamship company has used many do
vices to ferret out the thief Canadian
police officers travelling on the boat an ,
private detectives being employed but
all efforts have proved fruitless When
the Austin left Boston last week, how
ever, on the trip just ended today. In =
spector Patrick Gattis of the bank
squad of the Boston police, sailed on
her, having given up one week of his
vacation for the purpose of solving
the mystery
On the return trip suspicion was
fastened on Wright, with the result
that when the boat arrived today he
was arrested. Upon being searched he
was found to have two watches which
had been reported stolen, one of which
was valued at SIS and the other at $50.
The police claim they recovered more
than $500 worth of booty in the mans
room in RoXbury On his person was
also found a handbook, showing that
in the last 80 days he had deposited in
a Boston bank about $3.50
He is held by the police on the
specific charge of the larceny of tw ,
watches. He will be given a hearing
