Arrival of the murderers or Mrs.
Ernst Crowds at the Depot and
tlie Police Office The Coroner Has a
Fonr and a Hair Honrs' Session With
the Prisoners to Complete the In
quest They Repeat Their Previous
Story or the Crime Inspector Byrnes
Brilliant Police Service and Methods.
About five hundred people were at the de
pot at about 4 o'olock yesterday afternoon
when the train arrived from New York
bringing Chamberlain and Taylor. As soon
as sight was caught of the New Haven offi
cers a stampede was made to the point where
they were alighting from the cars. There
were Detectives Bielly and Brewer of this
city and Detective Cosgrove of New York,
and they had with them the two prisoners.
Chief Bollman was soon risible also. The
officers rushed the prisoners through the
crowd, the depot police keeping a passage
way open, and brought them as rapidly as
possible through the gentlemen's doorway to
where the hacks stand. Two hacks were in
waiting and into these the officers hurried
the prisoners, and then the chief, the detec
tives and the prisoners were driven rapidly
id state to Crown, to (Jhurch. to court, to
the door of the police building. The
prisoners were, as everyone remarked,
about as cool and calm as any
one who was looking at them. When Taylor
got out of the cars at the depot and got into
the crowd he was jostled bo that a cigarette
which he was smoking tell to tne ground.
He made a crab for it as it fell and lost it,
and remarked in a nonchalant manner to
Chamberlain, smiling as if abont to pass into
a circus tent, "There goes my cigaiette."
His companion looked undisturbed, but
when alighting from the hack at the police
building and scanning tne crowa mac assem
bled he ran his eyes rapidly about the crowd
as if half expecting to recognize some ac-
auaintances and not relisnint; meeting tnem
At the police building the party were ushered
at once into Chief Bollman's quarters
and a secret session lasting four and a half
hours ensued during which time no ons was
allowed to enter the rooms and the doors
were opened only long enough to allow some
officer who had been summoned to receive a
message to deliver. All this time the corri
dor ot the police Building contained a throne
of people, mostly young men of from eigh
teen to thirty-nve years oi age, wita nere ana
there an older man, while also among the
waiting throng were about a dozen of the
fair sex, their ages Tanging from fifteen to
thirty, whose curiosity impelled them to
wait in the hope of catching a glimpse of the
prisoners. At three' o'clock, a bevy of
eight or ten shop girls stood on the
routine corner cnattering and occasionally
peering down the street and starting up if
they saw a hack approaching. They waited
on the corner about half an hour and then
gave it up and departed, having concluded
probably that the rumor which was current
that the prisoners would arrive at 3 was a
false alarm. At 6 o'clock the sidewalk op
posite the police station was thronged with
girls from the corset and other shops waiting
to see the prisoners brought out.

A NEW lOUK DISPATCH.
The Prisoners and Their Bravado
Demeanor A Boot Blacking Epi
sode at the Grand Central Depot.
New York, May 16. The two murderers
Taylor and Chamberlain, who are charged
with and who have also confessed to the
murder of Mrs. Ernst, the New Haven saloon
keeper, were taken to that city to-day. Chief
Bollman and Detectives Brewer and BeiUy of
New Haven arrived in New York this morn
ing with the papers necessary for the trans
fer of the prisoners to the Connecticut au
thorities. Inspector Byrnes of this city,
who obtained the confessions from the men
after his detectives had made their arrest, at
once turned the prisoners over to Chief
Bollman. To avoid any difficulty on the way
Inspector Byrnes detailed Detectives Cos
grove and Maguire of his own staff
to accompany the men. The
prisoners were then taken to the Grand Cen
tral depot. On the way they displayed the
same cool and apparently unconcerned man
ner which has distinguished them since they
were arrested; and on the way to the depot
Chamberlain asked the officers to stop and
let him get his boots shined. The officers
complied with their prisoner's wish while
they were waiting for the -train at the depot.
As the Italian briskly rubbed the brash over
the boots of the murderer Chamberlain
coolly remarked, "Well, I guess this will be
the last shine I'll get in New York." There
was a large crowd in the station and the
tougher element from the lower parts of this
city looked upon Chamberlain with consid
erable admiration after his bravado speech.
The prisoners were then placed in the two
forward seats of the smoker and the crowd
followed and stood around the car nntil the
train drew out of the depot.
A Look at Inspector Byrnes and Ilia
Brilliant Keeord or Police Service
Hla methods and Opinions.
A glance at Inspector Byrnes of New
York, his office, record of servioe, etc., is
given in the New Yorfc Tribune as follows:
Inspector Byrnes' apartments are carefully
secluded from the rest of the building by a
series of outer rooms and passageways.
When they are finally reached they show a
handsome business office, the walls of whioh
are adorned with pictures of noted criminals
and with sketches in black and white illus
trative of exciting scenes in which the in
spector has officially participated. Byrnes
is a remarkable man. He joined the police
force as a patrolman twenty four years ago.
He rose gradually from the ranks nntii in
1870 he was made captain of the Fifteenth
precinct, which included the territory from
Houston to Fourteenth street and from
Third to Sixth avenues. At that time the
thugs, thieves, gamblers and criminals of all
description who now essay to live under con
ditions, be it truly said, that do credit to
their ingennity in Captain Williams' precinct
were all quartered in Byrnes'. He was a
very yonng man and full of ambition. He
quickly became the master of his precinct.
Circumstances did much to favor his rise.
The detective bareau was in the hands of
Captain Keeley and it had become a
nest of sinecures. It was thoroughly in
efficient and was the subject of considerable
scandal as well. The Manhattan bank robbery,
one of the greatest criminal feats ever per
formed, occurred. The detective bureau did
absolutely nothing to unravel the mystery,
but Captain Byrnes did, and one by one the
thieves fell into his clutches. Every man of
them is in Sing Sing except one, who escaped
to California, got himself into trouble there
and is now serving an eight yeais' sentence.
His time will be np in a week or two, and al
ready Byrnes' men are out there with a requi
sition waiting to bring him back here for
trial. The murder of Mrs. Lord by Chastine
Cox and the garroting of Mrs. De cary in
open daylight served to intensify public dis
gust at the way things were managed
and emphasize! the demand for a change.
Byrnes was asked to take the bureau. He
consented upon the conditions that he be
made an inspector and given full power to
reorganize the department. These terms
were conceded and in 1880 he received his
latest appointment.
He proceeded to shake things up in the
most approved fashion. He pitched all the
old detectives out of their soft berths with
out ceremony. Only four of the old men
were left. He surrounded himself with a
lot of young men. ambitious fellows devoted
to him and ready for any peril or work. The
emciency or ms administration is seen in
the fact that since he became inspector the
largest robbery committed in New York
amounted to only $9,000. That was the cap
ture of the contents of a butcher's cart. Un
der Byrnes are about fifty detectives, men
who can speak all languages and whose man
ners are as assorted as their particular lines
of service. All the great thieves, the noted
man who make robbery a fine art and study
it as an artist studies color and composition,
have been driven from New York.
The inspector looks what he is, a cun
ning, sharp, cold-blooded, courageous, deter
mined man, fearful of nothing and daunted
at nothing. He is tall and powerfully built,
with a dark red complexion, a heavy brown
mustache, eyes as bright as jewels, with a
motion indescribably quick. He understands
well enough that in his business the methods
of the Sunday sthool will not succeed. He
knows, however distasteful it may be, that
criminals must be fought with their own
weapons. They all know his ways, and yet
they never fail to fall into his traps. His
methods are as varied as human nature,
but the same general principle runs
through them all. He aims, first, to
put himself in the place of the criminal
and to run him down by following up what
he himself would have done under similar
circumstances. Having nabbed the person
ht aspects, he first endeavors to obtain his
confidence or to excite his terror. One of
the strongest proofs of his story of Jaehne's
confession is that it was so true to the char
acter of Jaehne and so entirely what might
be expected of Byrnes. Speaking of Jaehne's
confession the inspector said yesterday:
"I did not tell on the witness stand all
that Jaehne told me. It would not have
been legal evidence, but if I were to repeat
the whole story to you, your hair would
stand on end. It was the most astonishing
storv of political corruption I ever listened
to.""
"Did you know that Jaehne-was a fence?"
"My first knowledge of Jaehne came in
1883, when I had captured a couple of thieves
and they told me they had disposed of their
plunder to him. I sent a man to bring him
to me. He found him late that night at
uoney island ana Drought mm to my house,
1 told mm what 1 had learned and 1 never
saw such a spectacle of cowardice in my life,
The perspiration rolled off his face in beads,
He denied it, however, and I had no other
proof than the statement of self-confessed
thieves.
"Then I had his house watched and he
found out that we were 'piping him off,' as
the phrase is. He came here and pleaded
with me like a baby to let him alone. Well,
as a matter of fact, I hadn't the slightest
thing against him that could be proved. But
I threatened to expose him and from that
moment the craven was in my power."
"How do American thieves oompare in
cleverness with those of other nationalities?"
"They are the smartest knaves in exist
ence. Fifteen years ago it took a wagon full
of tools to crack a safe. Now, American
burglars have invented implements which
they can carry m their overcoat pockets by
which they can open any safe in existence in
half an hour."
"Then there is no such thing as a burglar
proor sale?"
"No. Suppose an expert burglar proposes
to roo a bank:. He will una out wnat Kina
of safe is there and buy one like it. He
will work for weeks and months learning its
lock. At the end of that time he can open
it as readily as the man who knows its com
bination. New York is a very difficult city
to protect, it has so many inlets and out
lets. But thieves are like sheep. They must
have affiliations. Suppose new ones come
here from abroad, as they do in droves. In
the course of a few days they are seen in the
company of some crook: known to us, ana
from that moment they are under espionage.
I never yet have met a crook whom I couldn't
frighten into famishing me with enough
clews to convict him if he was guilty. It is
said that there is 'honor among thieves. ' It
disappears like steam in the air when I get
them here, in this room.
Police Notes.
C. P. Hale, colored, was arrested by Offi
cer Shields last night for a breach of the

Victoria Division, S. or T.
The grand basket festival of Yietoria divi
sion No. 47, S. of T., was held in their new
hall in the Courier building last evening.
Miss Ida Keif lent her best endeavors to the
occasion and it is mainly due to her energy
that it was so successful. The division is
under most favoring auspices and a long and
flourishing career is indicated for the organi
zation. City mission
Bev. M nn, saperintendent of city
iBBions, acknowledges the services of the
students of Yale seminary in mission work
during the season now closing. The mission
stations have been maintained and assistance
given at others also, eighty religious meet
ings held, about 1,800 calls made upon eighty-
five families and more than 100 sick persons
at the hospital, 362 persons have been con
versed with in pastoral work, and about
1,000 papers, etc., distributed, with Bibles
where persons were found without a copy of
the scriptures.
The Stony Creek Mystery Still Unrav
eled.
Notwithstanding the unflagging exertions
of the authorities no clue has been found yet
as to the cause and manner of the death of
young Way, the station agent. The impres
sion grows that he met his death by violence
and foul play. He had from $50 to $100 an
hour or so before he was killed; not a dollar
of it was found in his pockets and the wallet
was empty. He was found lying on his back
across the track, and the engineer, who saw
the body too late to stop' the train, says it lay
motionless and rigid. There is some talk in
Branford of the town's offering a reward, but
some of the authorities still think it was a
case of suicide.
The Carnival Will Be A Grand Suc
cess.
The grand carnival committee of the Veter
an Firemen's association met last evening at
their cosy parlors in room 22, Insurance
building. The report of the general com
mittee proved to the association that it is to
be one of the greatest financial successes that
has ever attended a carnival at Savin Bock.
It will be very pleasing to the public to
know that the prizes to the great carnival
are flowing in rapidly, including the solid
silver trumpet, the grand piano, floor, wag
on, two trumpets and a number of various
other prizes. It has been learned by the
committee that in competition for prizes that
the hose companies in Derby, Ansonia, Nor
walk and other places are practicing daily in
order ta compete for prizes. This is not in
cluding any engine companies, of which, un
doubtedly, there will be a large number
present. The secretary of the association
is receiving letters from about all the com
panies in the State to participate in the
prizes.
A VALUABLE PAPER
Tlie Historical Society Favored With
a Fine Paper by Professor Dexter
Early Times or Far Reaching Politi
cal Importance Vividly Recalled.
Professor Franklin B. Dexter's reading be
fore the New Haven Colony Historical
society last evening was wholly from letters
received by Chief Justice David Daggett. It
was a most judicious and careful selection of
parts of intimate private letters proper to be
read on so public an occasion.
From his home in Attleboro,Mass., in 1781
the late chief justice of Connecticut came to
Yale college and this city to complete his
study for his profession. He left college in
1783. His college life was in the stormy
years at the close of the revolution. He next
traveled in tne soutnern states, ana letters
were read telling: of the stats of f eeli ne in the
Carolinas and Virginia. In the latter State
a dreadful prejudice existed against the
North, and fierce jealousy was manifested to
ward New England. Britons, beots and
Irish were welcomed in preference to men or
women from the northern States. The society
South was intolerable for long years after
peace was established. Religion, education
and customs in the North, though not the
best, purest or most peacef ul,had really prev
alent power. Letters from Bhode Island
showed the people there in deadly opposition
to the U. S. constitution. It seemed impossi
ble in those dark days of uncertainty and bit
terness that a united ,8table government could
be established. As the professor continued
reading his audience were treated to con
tents of missives from Washington, Adams,
Jefferson, Madison, Burr and other actors no
less prominent, such as John Jay, Fisher
Ames, Governor John Cotton Smith, Zepha
niah Swift. April 17, 1794 the question of
registrations of debts dne the English was
agitated. Graphic word pictures of the so
ciety in Washington 'and in Philadelphia
were drawn. Conciliation and wise counsel
were shrewdly brought to -bear and the
stormiest party elements quailed at laat. The
unpopularity of President Adams was clearly
shown by New Haven letters telling of his
visit here in 1800 and cold reception. Inner
views of the Hartford conventionists were
given. To some at that time it seemed as if
the satanio reign had come, and people were
almost in despair. The final suppression of
Shav's and the whiskey rebellions was de
picted by the letters to have aided
greatly the establishment of the government.
Calvin Stoddard and Chailes Goodrich's
letters were of deep interest. The news
of peace December 21, lSia, was nailed with
wildest joy. It came on Sunday and almost
turned the day into a Fourth of July celebra
tion. The jubilation continued all the day
following. The story of the Center, North
and Episcopal churches was freshly brought
to mind by the letters of 1814 and 1815.
Party spirit in the early years of the republic
was far more rancorous and bitter than any
known since.
Mr. Benjamin Noyes, when at the close op
portunity was given for remarks, spoke of
Abram Bishop, whose life and services hai
been shown as a power in his day. Only
twenty-three vessels belonged to this port on
his appointment to office and $350,000 was
the receipt for customs.
Governor Bowers made a few timely and
witty remarks; also Thomas B. Trowbridge,
jr., and others spoke. The usual vote of
thanks was unanimously voted and all were
pleased as well as edified greatly.
FOR JUNE SEVENTEENTH.
The Town Ideetlne This Afternoon at
Iiootnlt Temple or IHnsle Admit
tance to the Parle June IT hy Way or
Farnam Drive Only Jottines.
The town meeting this afternoon will
doubtless be well attended. Said a promi
nent gentleman yesterday: "The object of
the town meeting, which is chiefly to vote
sufficient funds to do the necessary grading
abont the monument on East Bock and pay
for a proper coping of the monument lot, is
one which appeals strongly to our patriotism
and municipal pride. The monument is to
stand on East Bock for centuries to oome
an ornament to our city and its park, a land
mark to cheer and guide the mariner off our
coast and commemorative of the deeds of
heroic men who gave their all for their coun
try. They died that our nation might live.
They died that our union might not be dis
membered and divided and forever torn with
fratricidal broils and strife. They sleep,
some in southern bayons.some in the tangled
wildnerness. some in the graves abont Libby
and Anderson ville. New Haven fitly honors
their memory. The meeting to-day will ask
for a small additional sum requisite to com
plete the surroundings of the monument.
There can be but one response. The work
should be done as far as possible before the
17th of June, a day which will eclipse in in
terest and glory any preceding event in the
history of our city. The people will be here
from all parts of Connecticut. Besides our
75,000 people 50,000 more will come from
outside New Haven."
One company of the Fourth regiment has
written signifying its acceptance ot tne invi
tation to be present at the dedication.
Grand Marshal Greeley has the horse pick
ed ont which he will ride on June 17. He
has three fine horses of his own, but has
chosen one from another quarter to ride on
that occasion.
Chief Bollman has been notified to call a
meeting of the assistant marshals for to
morrow evening at 7:oU at his omce.
The sub-committee on carriages met last
evening.
The East Bock Park commissioners met
yesterday morning and decided that admit
tance to the Park on June 17 must be by way
of the Farnam drive and all persons must ab
sent themselves by 11 p.m. The question as
to the advisability of placing coping about
the base of the monument was not decided.

CONTINUATION OF OUR GREAT BARGAIN SALE
IN
SILKS AND DRY GOODS I
Owing to the unpiecedented success of this great sale during
the past week we have decided to continue it, and have marked
the remainder of our stock "at ruinously low prices. The bar
gains we are offering are not of every day occurrence, and ladies
will study their own interests by calling early.
Many of the old lines have been closed out and new ones add
ed. The spring goods must go. Some of them are marked at
just half price. We do this to make room for lighter weights
and more seasonable fabrics.
We submit a few specimen quotations for your consideration:
Double fold Manchester diagonals at i2c.
40 inch check mixtures at 25c.
40 inch all wool hair lines at 35c.
42 inch all wool small checks at 38c.
44 inch hair line suiting in three shades of grey, sold recently
at 75c, now 50c.
The remainder of our imported
suitings (many of them our own importation and not obtained
elsewhere) we have decided to close out at
$10.00.
THIS IS LESS THAN HALF PRICE.
SILKS! SILKS!
The season has been backward in these goods and importers
are overstocked. We are al ays on the alert and ready to take
advantage of such opportunities, and have during the past week
bought for spot cash several lines of silks which we propose sell
ing at unheard of prices. We have a reputation for bargains in
silks and ladies are specially requested to inspect these lots be
fore purchasing elsewhere.
1 Lot Black Satin Rhadames at 68c.
1 Lot Satin Finish Black Gros Grains at 98c.
1 Lot super quality heavy Black Satin Rhadames at $1.00.
1 Lot China Silk at $1.00.

A full line spring shades at $1.25.
To avoid the afternoon rush we would particularly request a
morning call if possible.
