(Per Press Association.) Tho police have obtained evidence clearly connecting the prisoner, Robert Wallath, as the person who appeared as the highwayman on former occasions, also as being connected with several burglaries recently committed in New Plymouth, A singular part of tbe affair is that he was employed by Mr Furlong, hairdresser, to secure the door of the shop by fixing a heavy iron bar inside. A few days after■wards Furlong's place was broken into by someone boring through tbe woatherboard3 and removing the iron bar. The police found some of the things stolen from Furlong's in the prisoner's bedroom, thiM indicating that the prisoner was the man who committed the burglary. He was afterwards employed by Mr Furlong to repair the damage which the evidenco now shows that he had himself committed.
