 SHOT BY PRISONER
Latter Escapes-OMcer Dor man Probably Fatally
 Wounded.

New Haven, Oct. 30.-Bennett w. Dorman, detective of the headquar- , ters staff, was probably fatally shot through the stomach by a man said to be Honey" Budlong of Provi- dence, R. l., whom he was placing under arrest. in Crown street today. Two men went into Palmer's ga- rage on Crown street, above Park 1 during the morning, one offering to sell Palmer two carriage robes. The latter thought he had seen the robes before and suggested that the men return later in the day. After the men left Palmer told the detective bureau of his suspicious. Detective Deskin was sent to the garage and waited until one of the men came in. Questioning this man Deskin secured an admission that the robes were stolen by the man who had not come in. Deskin asked Palmer to hold the man who was in the garage while he went out to bring in the other. Meantime Detective Dorman had been sent out from headquarters to be handy to Deskin. Passing through Crown street near the garage Dor man saw a man standing on the curb with two robes over his arm. En- gazing the man in conversation Dor man suggested that the man come along to the garage. The stranger refused and had scuffle and Dor man got him down and started to handcuff him. Then the officer was shot. A clerk in an office nearby who saw the struggle thought the man shot through his pocket, pulling his gun as Dorman rolled off. The man took to his heels over the fences nearby pursued by several men in the vicinity. Dorman walked to the ga- rage where a teamster picked him up and carried him to the hospital.
 Officers and Coroner Mix went to the scene and heard a report that the man was in a barn. A fire company was called out to use it's hose if neces- sary to make a capture but after the officers had searched a barn and the had escaped through Derby avenue. Autom obileS were sent in chase.
 The man whom Palmer was holding in his office was arrested by Deskin
 as soon as he heard the report of a shot outside. At the station this
 man proved to be a local resident. His name was temporarily withheld. He said the other man was known
 as Hun or Honey" Budlong, that
 he had just come from Canada where
 he had served a sentence and he was
 known in Providence which was prob ably his home.
 State Policeman Wheeler was in | this city this afternoon in the state wide search which is being made for | the assailant of Detective Dorman. He left a complete description of the
 man with the local police and in | structions to be on the watch for any suSpiciOuS individual.

ALMOST .ASPHYXIATED
 DURING HIS SLEEP
Allen Harvie Found Unconscious ir Prospect Street Boarding House
 Early Today.

Allen Harvie of S4 Prospect street is at the New Britain General hospi- tai today recovering from the effects of gas poisoning which almost cost him his life by ssphyxiation early this morning.
 Harvie boards with Mrs. Hauxhurst and at 6 o'clock this morning he was found laying across the bed in his room, partly dressed, with the gas jet turned on. The room was partly filled with gas but a partially opened window had permitted enough of the poison to escape to prevent death. MT Harvie was unconscious and was hustled to the hospital.
 As the room also smelled strongly of liquor it is presumed that the man. coming home in an intoxicated condi- tion, fell across the bed after either blowing out the gas or not closing the window sufficiently to prevent the wind from doing it.
 Nothing is known about the man or his relatives. He is employed as machinist; at Russel & Erwins.
