Inspector Byrnes' Detectives Have Been Watching Him Closely.
Dr. Francis Tumblety, the man who was suspected of being connected with the Whitechapel murders in London, arrived in New York on board the French line steamer Bretagne, yesterday. A reporter called upon Inspector Byrnes this morning and asked if there was anything for which Tumblety could be arrested in this country. The inspector replied that, although Tumblety was a fugitive from justice, under $1,500 bail, for a nominal offence in England, he could not be arrested here. The inspector added that in case the doctor was wanted he knew where to lay his hand on him. Two of the central office detectives were on the dock when the steamer arrived and followed Tumblety to a Tenth street boarding house, the number of which will not be made public. The new arrival will be kept under strict surveillance.
