Chief Hayden and Assistant District-Attorney Averill Question Him
Penn Yan, Nov. 23 - Chief HAYDEN and Assistant District Attorney AVERILL are inPenn Yan to-night investigating the KEATING murder case. The chiefarrived on the New York Central, after leaving Rochester, on the Lehigh Valleywhile Mr. AVERILL came on the Northern Central.
The reason for their appearance in Penn Yan is that a suspicious character wasarrested this morning by Chief of Police EASTMAN. This person drifted into PennYan Thursday. He was "broke" and Thursday night, so he claims, sleptin one of the paper mills. This morning Chief EASTMAN, who had seen him theevening previous, kept a close watch on him. He went to the Northern Centralstation and evidently intended to jump a freight. On account of his appearanceand suspicious actions he was arrested.
When questioned by Chief EASTMAN he gave the name of Edward THYE and claimed hehad been robbed a few days ago on Front street in Rochester. He was placed injail. Chief HAYDEN was informed by telephone about the man and his reply was tohold him. This evening Chief HAYDEN, Assistant District Attorney AVERILL andChief EASTMAN went to the jail and THYE was questioned at considerable length.The man's right name is Michael DOYLE. He is a crook and has done time more thanonce. He goes under aliases of "Troy MICKEY," "Montana MICKEY," etc.
DOYLE reported to police headquarters in Rochester Monday last that he had beenrobbed on Front street of some money. He claims that that night he slept atDay's lodging house, on Tuesday walked to Victor and Tuesday night slept in ashed at that place, and from there came to Penn Yan. He claims that he can provethat he was in Victor Tuesday night by persons there, and if this is the case hehad no connection with the murder. The matter will be fully investigated beforeDOYLE is released.
Chief HAYDEN noticed that DOYLE had on a different suit of clothes to-night fromthose he wore when he called at police headquarters in Rochester. DOYLE saidthat he made the change at the Salvation Army lodging in Rochester. The clotheshe had on when arrested in Penn Yan were dark, and he wore a cap.
DOYLE is about 40 years of age, short and thick set. His face bears scratcheswhich were received since he was seen by the police authorities in Rochester.

Hoping to find amore congenial climate, he enlisted in the hospital corps of the regular armyand went with his company in their raids in the mountains of Luzon as nurse anddispenser of medicine, when in camp often taking the place of physician,administering to the natives as well as the soldiers.
