Philadelphia, Jan. 10.-Charged with
aiding and abetting Harry K. Thaw,
in an alleged assault upon Fred Gump,
Jr., in New York and with attempted
a man said to be George
+. O'Byrnes and described as Thaws
bodyguard, was arrested at a railroad
station here as he was about to leave
the city. After hearing he was held
requisition from the New
York authorities.
While admitting, according to the
detectives, that he is acquainted with
Thaw and that he had been with the
Pittsburgher in this city until last
night, the prisoner denied that he is
O'Byrnes or that he is the man want
ed in New York. He declared he had
absolutely no knowledge of the charg-
es upon which he was taken into Gus
tody. He said his name was Oliver
Brewer, that he was a Pittsburgh
salesman and had known Thaw for
some time.
Barned Flood, the New York detec-
tive, who assisted in making the ar
rest, however, stated tonight that the
description he had of O'Byrnes fits the
prisoner in all details and he is con-
WINGED he is the man wanted.
Thaw was in Philadelphia yester-
day in connection with a small damage
suit against his mother as result of
an automobile collision between Mrs.
Thaw's car and one driven by a local
resident. Both his attorney and pri-
vate detective who said he had been
engaged to act as a private bodyguard
for the Pittsburgher while he was
here, said Thaw left the city Monday
night for Washington and he intended
to leave the capital last night for Pitts
burgh. Efforts to locate him so far
have proved futile.
