HART SKEP(ICAL ON
 STUYYESANT ARREST
tcontinued From First raEe)

(continued From First rarc) the making out of circulars which were sent throughout tho country containing q picture and description Of Chapman as tho alleged slayer Of skelly were delayed for some time until the police were in possession Of enough e>idance Co leave prac- ttcally no doubt that Chapman was the companion of Waiter j, Shran m the local robbery and was thc man who shot SkrIy.
 He added that he was not satis- Acd yet that tt was not Chapman that was implicated in the local roh- hery and murder, and WlN not be until lt has been established beyond all doubt that lt WIS SluNNcsaut The chief refused 10 believe at ,he time Of tho robbery the statement by Shean that Chapman was ihe man who had been with hJm and was ine one who Arcd inc shot that caused ths death Of the policeman, but in the face of the evidence and infor- nation that was collected by fNe police here and in Spr!ngheld. / was apparently established beyond doubt that 1t actuar'y was Chapman.
 Chiat Hart said that it was still possible that Chapman was part rer ot Shean's in the robbery of 'he Davidson & T.evonthal store and that stuyvesant was a third party ft is recalled that inc police spent con- siderable time inyesUs saung the theory that there were more than TWO men involved Tn the affair, but according to reports, were unable 10 uncover any positive evidence 10 suo- Nanttate the theory.
 Dr. David Waskonitz reported to the police the day of the robbery mat he had seen a machine which he was almost sure was the one used hy shean and his partner on Church street shortly hefore the break at the department store. His story was that 1t drove along Church street and a man hopped off the running board of it onto the step Of ma chine parked by the curb, whispered a short time 10 man sitting at the wheel of the parked machine, and then departed in the larger machine. This story would involve three men in the robbery which would give strength to the theory that Chap man was the one who had planned the affair and Shean and Stuyyesant were the ones who carried 1t out.
 The police have established that Shean was acquainted with Stuyves- ant, the new suspect having admit ted to Detective Sergeant William P. NIcCue and New York detectives that he was acquainted with the man now held at the Hartford county iail awaiting trial next month on a charge of first degree murder as an accessory before the fact.
 Stuyves sant was released from Sing Sing prison about six months ago, after serving almost two years for implication in the hank robbery at Wyomissing, Pa, the robbery in which Shean is alleged to have been involved. l. is reported that a num- ber Of the securities, valued at about s15,000 that had been stolen from the bank, were found fin Shean's s possession. Shean was indicted for participation in the robbery st the time, but was never taken to Penn sylvania for trial.
 People who came in contact at Springfield with Waldo |. Miller, al ieged to be Chapman, insisted yes tfrday that the man in Springfield who was seen with Shean on many occasions, had two sound eyes and wore glasses that contained two cle<r lenses. Dispatches from Springfield also say that New York detectives had visited the city and compared the signatures of stuyvesant md Chapman with the writing on the Cooley hotel register hy Waldo U, Miller" and found that the writing rssemhled Chapmans hand and not Etuyvesant's.
 The police here secured finger prints which were believed 10 he those of the murderer and sent them to New York for reading in ar effort to establish whether they were Chapman's or not, bu. it Is believed that they proved not to be Chap. mans. Ii 's said that the police vii now compare the fngerprints will those Of Stuyvcsant in an effort tt definitely identify him in that man her.
 Detective Sergeant NrCnp returu ed to tho city last night with photo graphs of the now suspect and tn police were working today in an ef fort 10 learn from people who sa . fhe murderer whether they Coun identify the piotur" of Stuyvesant a fhe man who came out Of the store Detective Sergeant NCGue said ina Stuyvcsant's features are sharpe than Chapman's, hut admitted tha the general resemblance was enougl that q person might possibly make mistake in identjfyinE a picture.
 Edward L. Johnson, inc stah1 hostler, who saw the murderer com from the Davidson X Loyen'hal stor with a smoking gun tr his hand, als returned last night and he said ths he was absolutely certain Of hi Identification Of Stuyyesant, He Tn ssts that he could not possibly b mistaken.
