Gently employed by the B. L. T. was
locked up in Newark police head

living OF No. eli Herldme. Street,
Brooklyn. Catherine Dunn was slain
in the home OF Clarence Sperry Clark,
No. 1i46 East 21st street. Jswclry

tives William Brosnan, Barney Dowd,
John sullivan and Frlnll Carney Of
the Brooklyn force. Kelly was on a
train bound for Camden at the time
OF his arrest.
As soon as Kelly was placed in Jail
Brooklyn detectives sent for a Har-
lem jeweler. whom they expected to
identity certain pieces of jewelry he
had sold Kelly. This jewelry. accord
ing TO the police theory, was bought
with proceeds from the sale OF the
icwelrv stolen from the Clark resi-
denCe.
According to the Newall, police.
when Kelly was searched n watch,
chain and a knife attached to tho
chain were found. on the dial OF the

cording to Acting Captain sullivan
when a watch and ring stolen from
the Clark home were paWncd in
Harlem. Manhattan. the man who
pHwned the articles bought a watch
with the name Blossom" on it.
Through this watch the Brooklyn
police hope to identify Kelly as the
man who killed the maid. They have
sent for the pawnbrokcr.

Sreved five prison terms, two in
Sing Sing, two in ElmiI-a and one in

ployed by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company as a porter at the Troy
Avenue station on the Fulton Street
line at the time Ms. Catherine Nc
Donald. ticket agent at that station,
was murdered in vacant lot on East
ED Street. Although Kelly has not
been charged with the Mcdonald

formation to connect him with the
crime. as it is reported that Mrs. Nc
Donald was last seen with n negro.

into custody this morning in Newark
near the Pennsylvania Station. II is
believed she had gone there to meet
