 Back of Billy Prices fight against extradition to Connecticut from New York. where he is held for the East of copper ingots may be the solution of the mysterious murder of Charles A. Taft, the nighthawk taxi driver, formerly of Westerly, who was shot dead at the wheel of his car on March l on the back road from New Britain 10 Berlin Although Price. who is held without bail in New York, is simply charged with theft, every pre- caution has been taken to hold him, in case he should win his fight A fed eral warrant has been issued for his arrest, based on an alleged violation of the interstate commerce law re- lating to stolen shipments.
 Copper Taken to New York.
 When these cases were tried it was brough out in the evidence that the copper stolen from the freight cars in East Hartford had been taken to New York in a taxicab in loads of 600 pounds at a time The driver who carried the copper said he received from $50 to s65 for taking down one load and s75 for another trip

It furnishes the first well de- fined motive for the murder of the nighthawk driver of the Venetian Special"
 Theory Long Held.
