The Highwayman.
(By Telegraph)
NEW PLYMOUTH, July 22.
The police have obtained evidence clearly identifying the prisoner Robert Wallath with the person who appeared as the “ Highwayman ” on former occasions ; also being connected with several burglaries recently committed in Few Plymouth. A singular part of the affair is that he was employed by Mr Furlong, hairdresser, to secure the door of his shop by fixing a heavy iron bar inside, and a few days afterwards Furlong’s place was broken into by someone boring through the weather boards and removing the iron bsr. The police found some of the things stolen from Furlong’s in the prisoner’s bedroom, thus indicating that prisoner was the man who committed the burglary. He was afterwards employed by Furlong to repair the damage which the evidence now shows that he had himself committed.
