 Story Of the Crime
 Policeman James skclly was the first member of the police depart ment here to be killed in theN per formance Of his duty, meeting his death on Sunday morning, October 12. when in company with Police men Alfred Atwater and Clarence T.anpher, he entered the Davidson & Levcnthal store after report had bocn received by sergt. Matthias Rival at police headquarters that there were men in the store.
 Skclly, Atwater, Lanpher, John Licblcr and Walter Malona were dis patched 10 the store by Scrgt. Rival to investigate. Arriving there, John son, who is a hoster in the stable in the rear of the store, shouted to them that one of the men had just gone down Church street and the other man was still in the store. Malona and Liebler ran down Church street where they found Shean and placed him under arrest
 The three other policemen pro- cecded down to the rear of the de- partment store and started in, At water going first, followed closely by Skclly Atwater did not have his gun ont, but Skelly did. AS they entered the store and started over toward the stairs leading up to the office, a man ran down the stairs. dropping a sledge hammer as he did so. and whipped out & revolver. He ordered the policeman to keep out or he would kill them. Atwater tucked behind a counter. but Po- liceman Skelly stumbled and just as hs was pitching toward. the burglar shot three times, one Of the bullets entering Skelly's abdomen, causing his death at the New Britain Genor- al hospital a few hours later while an operation was being performed to save his life.
 Shean was arraigned In the local police court on a. charge of murder, it being alleged that he was an &C., cessory before the fact. He is being held without bail for trial at the term of superior court opening the first Tuesday of December. He has made a complete confession of his part in the affair, the police say, but has claimed that his partner was Gerald Chapman.
 Woods Issues New Warrant
 Prosecutor Joseph c. Woods had warrant issued for S,e arrest of Chapman and the police had broad casted his picture and description throughout the country. Governor Templeton, at the request of States Attorney Hugh NJ. AIcorn, offered a reward of $S,000 for the arrest and conviction of tho murderer of Po- liceman Skelly. and the New Britain Herald offered a reward of $500 for his capture.
 It is expected that the preparing of cxtradition papers for the return to this city of Stuyvesant will be rushed and an effort made 10 have him arragned at the December term of the superior court with Shean. Prosecutor Woods started the .prep- aration of the papers this morning immediately after being informed by the Herald of Stuyvesant's arrest, a new warrant being made out charg- ing Stuyvesant with the murder.
 May Send Other Witnesses.
 IL is expected that Chief Hart will not wait for completing the prepar- ation of extradition papers to make absolutely certain that Stuyvesant was the companion of Shean. Chief Hart will probably send the man and woman who were standing out side the store with Johnson and who also saw the murderer come out, to New York in an effort to make the identihcstion positive
 Johnson explained 10 the police in New York. according to a tele- phone message received this after noon from Detective Sergeant Me Cue, that the reason he did not mo- tice that the murderer had glass eye was because he was standing on his other side.
 Stuyvesant positively denied that he was ever in the state Of Connec- ticut when he was charged with the murder. It is expected that he will
