picion was aroused when on Tuesday
night he noticed the license on
Zboyan's car changed to N. ]. 1885,
500.

ing made in giving the number of

bers disagreeing with the numbers
on Zboyan's car. officers Seiboth
and Murray went to Metuchen on
Wednesday afternoon and reported
their investigation to Chief Hutch
inson. The Metuchen chief Informed
the local officers that q mudguard
and running board on the hold-up
car were damaged and this report

night, and it is believed the warrants
were drawn up and tlrned over to
the local police. Brombert and
Zboyan were arrested yesterday af-
ternoon and turned over to the Me-
tuchen authorities.
Brombert in addition to serving a
term in the Railway reformatory for

an is an electrical contractor.
According to the report of Cudar,
two men in roadster drew up
alongside of his car near the Lehigh
Valley bridge in Metuchen, and with
a gun ordered him to. stop. Cudar
claims he put on more speed, and
when he was again overtaken, he
too had a gun. The two cars con-
tinued at good speed until Cudar's
car was ditched, and the contents,
twelve cases of liquor, dumped in
the road. The hold.up car contin-
ued to Highland Park and likely re-
turned to Metuchen or Perth Am
boy by way of Camp Raritan. Cudar
IS being held on two charges.
