clerks attention 10 the resemblance. The
significance OF this recognition is that
news Of Thaw's escape was positively not
known in Danbury at that hour
one OF the three men inquired the way
TO Waterbury, and fifteen minutes later
the car. with its passengers. went east
toward Waterbury. Fifteen miles cast OF
Danbury. it was learned later. the men
in the black car again inquired the way.
The car was moving rapidly.
A still more significant clew is that on
Saturday evening, about o'clock. a big
car came from the direction Of New
York and stopped at Millplain. four miles
east OF Danbury. II contained two men,
who inquired whether they had passed
the state line. Informed that they mad.
the men started back 10 find the line.
They did not return.
The police here believe that the men
i'm the car were then planning Thaw' $
escape. Before leaving Millplain the
men told several persons that they had
come through Stormville, the point 10
which the touring car in which Thaw
escaped was traced yesterday. Storm
vile is fourteen miles east Of Matteawan.
The reason that Thaw was able To pass
through this part OF Connecticut without
the police knowing OF his presence is due
10 the fact that they merely received a
message from Matteawan Asylum that a
touring car stationed there had been
stolen. and beyond giving a description OF
one man no mention Of Thaw was made.
