coNFEsSES MURDER OF
NEW HAVEN PEDDLER
George Reddine Under Arrest for Kill
ing Morris Greenbers.


New Haven, Feb 2S.-Tne police
tonight announced that George Red
ding, a former fruit peddler of this
city, had been arrested and had con-
fesse1 to the murder of Morris Green
berg in Hamden. Redding was ar
rested in this city and was taken in
an automobile to the scene of the
murder in West Woods, Hamden, and
later he was put through the so-called
third degree by a New Haven detec-
tive, and finally made a full confess
sion of the killing.
Morris Greenberg. the murdered
man, was a young produce peddler, %
years Old living on Washington street,
and Saturday, in response TO a tele-
phone call, went to Hamden. His fail
ure to return that night led his par
ents to report the matter to the police
as they were afraid he had met with
violence, large sum of money he
was known to have had with him be-
ing given as an incentive to commit
ting of a crime. A search was made,
but nothing discovered until Monday,
when three hunters, passing along an
abandoned cartpath, came across the
body OF Greenberg. An autopsy show
cd that he had been shot several times
and other wounds inflicted.
Reddtng, whose parents live in New
Haven, has lived for some time at the
home of a farmer named Lewis in
Highwood, and besides working on the
farm was an agent for a correspond
ence school. In the sale Of fruit for
Lewis he became acquainted with
Greenberg, and the two became quite
friendly. Although the details of Red
ding's confession have not been made
public, it is understood that he made
an engag ement with Greenberg to
meet him in Hamden Saturday, as he
had some bargains in fruit he wished
to sell him. The two, it is understood
met in the woods where the body was
found. and that Redding demanded that
Greenberg give him what money he
had. This the latter refused to do
and the shooting followed. Redding
claims that he didn't find any money
in Greenberg's pockets, and the cor
oner says that when he examined the
clothing SIT was found in a pocket.
Redd1ng's arrest was brought about
through a Hamden farmer who viewed
the body today as it lay in a morgue
here, and recognized it as that of q
man he had seen in Hamden Saturday
,and told the authorities he had beer
in company with Redding. officers i'm
mediately apprehended Redding, whc
later confessed.
