NEW YORK POLICE ARE PUZZLED OVER
 REPORT FROM FLA
Authorities of Scala Ar rest Man For Theft Whom They Believe to Be BinkOwitz Who Was Thought Slain.

New York. Oct. 6.-New York police were mystified today by a report from Ocala, Fla, that a man believed to be Henry Binkowitz was arrested there last night for the theft of S17SCO0 in Liberty Bonds belonging to Richard Whitney 6 Co.,, August 12. Several days after the theft a young man iden- tified as Btnkowitz was found mur- dered at Milford, Conn.,, but no trace of the stolen bonds was found.
 With the exception of a very few officials it has been the general con- census that the 1nutilated body found near the Post road in Milford on Aug. 20, was that of Benjamin Blink owitz, the missing New York bank messenger. Since the supposed iden- tifcation was made, the police have been searching high and low for the murderers. Two Bridgeport people were arrested on the supposition that they knew something of the crime, and three others were held for a few hours in connection with the case. The authorities were unable to gain any information from these persons, however, or were they successful in locating thes tolen Liberty bonds which werev alued at $17S.OOO
 Police Of Bridgeport and Milford. state policemen and detectives who have been working on the Binkowttz case since August 20 are also at a loss today to explain the Florida report.
 Today's turn in the bafling mys- tery revives the probability that the "Doubting Thomas may have been right in their diagnosis of the case. Those who were disinclined to believe that the body which was found in Milford was that of Binkowitz, based their opinion oal the fact that identi- fcation was not complete. It is re- ported that the missing bank messen- gers mother never viewed the body, and the vest which she produced to match the suit found on the remains would have matched almost any blue suit of serge quality. A few off, cfals and other men interested in the case, who saw a picture of Binkowitz and then viewed the remains of a picture of them, remain firm in their belief that Benjamin Binkowitz was not murdered in this vicinity.
 Chief James Maher, of the Milford police, stated this morning that he will investigate the Florida report tkis afternoon. Nothing new has de- veloped in the case on this endy ac- cording to the police.
 If the man who has been arrested in Florida proves to be Benjamin

 Train. IDENTIFIED AS
 THOMAS LOGAN

The dead body of a boy, believed to be Thomas Logan of New London, was found beside the railroad tracks near the Fairfield station early this morning. It is thought that he met his death while jumping from a. freight train on which he had been stealing a ride.

The boys name was learned from an entry in a small nemoran- dunn book found in his pocket The labels on his coat and hat also indi- cated were those of New London dealers. This caused the authorities to think the boy came from New Lon don. He was apparently about 16 years old.
 Coroner Phe1an was out of the city today but it Is expected that he will hold an Inquest in the case to- morrow or Wednesday.
 The death was reported to the Bridgeport police early this morning

 This happy solution of many diff culties, and this unanimous and har- monious result was made possible by the far-sighted unselfiShness of Sen ator George B.
