PRISONER IDENTIFIED
BY NORTHFIELD MAN
Suspect Was Riding South
ward on Car of Freight
and Was Detected by Off
Ger John ID. Wheeler, Who
Was at the Station on the
Watch

Bethel, April 2s.Having been re-
quested by Sheriff L. w. Kent of Orange
county to be on the lookout for the man
suspected of shooting Emelio Fernan-
dez at Williamstown last Saturday
night, Officer John d. Wheeler of this
place went to the Central Vermont
railroad yard last night and arrested
a man who was riding southward on
freight train and who later was declared
by relative of Fernandez to be Ricardo
Gomez, the man accused OF the shoot
ing. When taken in charge the man
denied that he was Gomez.
The capture of the man was a rather
fortuitous occurrence and was brought
about in the following manner. 1t hap
pened at 1925 this morning after Off
Ger Wheeler had taken up position
near the station, having first been sup
piled with a description Of the man
wanted. A freight train pulled slowly
into the yard, the enginemen intending
to stop just south of the station and
take on water, when Officer Wheeler
spied man on fat car loaded with
granite.
His suspicious were at once aroused
and they were increased when the man
on the car lodged out of sight as the
car came under the glare of the electric
lights. Without delay, Officer Wheeler
Jumped on the next car, as the train
was moving slowly. Then, when the
train came to halt near the water tow
er, the officer went over to the other
car and arrested the solitary passen-
ger.
you're Mr.. Gomez of Williamstown,
aren't your the officer inquired.
"No,' replied the man.
Not convinced, Officer Wheeler took
the man in charge and after searching
him for weapons and finding none,
placed him in the village lookup, after
wards notifying Chief of Police Donahue
OF Northfeld. This forenoon Chief Dom
ahue came to Bethel, accompanied by a
relative of Fernandez, the man who was
shot. The relative of Fernandez had
no hesitation in identifying the prisoner
as Ricardo Gomez. According to the
statement OF Officer Wheeler, too, the
description of the man wanted tailed
with that of the man arrested. 1t was
then decided to take the man TO Mont
pelier, and the officer will leave with
him on the o'clock train this after
noon.

LONDON. Oct 2e.-The battle of the
User and the series of fights which has

Big German Gun ExpIOdes.
From Madrid comes an unconfIrmed

pier at zebrugge, According to the Mad
rid account this gun, which was being
used on the German right wing. was
oyercharged and exploded. The concus-
sions killed all the gunners in the vicin-
