John Kelly of Brooklyn, employed by the Erie Railroad in Jersey City, was arrested on a charge of theft in Newark Street Jersey City after a coat went missing from Vincenzo Shalley. Authorities suspected he might be Judson Kelly, the missing Port Jervis man, following a claim he once worked at the Port Jervis Erie shops. Mrs Kelly, grieving for her husband, confronted the suspect at the jail where Chief McCoach and Patrolman Mass were present, but she could not identify him with certainty.
