MISTAKEN FOR GERALD CHAPMAN
New Britain Man Had Thrilling
 Experience October l2

There is one man in the city who breathed a heavy sigh of relief when Gerald Chapman was convicted. of the murder of Patrolman James Skelly. and not without reason. for he possesses remarkable resem- blance to some of the printed pie lures of the super criminal and the fact has caused him considerable discontinue.
 After the murder on the morning of October 12 when pictures of Chapman were printed. this man noticed that he was subjected to stares by Q number of people he passed on the street, but could find no explanation until one night he was greeted by Patrolman William Doherty. .>
 According to the story, Doherty spotted him and after stallins around him and viewing him from all an- gles, satisfied himself that the party was none other than Chapman him. self. Careful not to let the man see him make his preparations, Doherty drew his gun and walking up behind the fellow, pressed the muzzle against his back and ordered him to throw up his hands. Terrified, and trembling the man obeyed the order and a further one that he march ahead of Doherty to the police sta- tion. !
 The policeman warned his pris- oner that one false move would mean his doom. Arriving at police headquarters. the prisoner was white as snow and trembling, making 1t impossible for him to speak and in- quire the meaning of the affair. He was saved, however. by the appear ance of Detective Sergeant William McCue and Policeman Thomas J. Feeney, who identified him and vouched for him.
