confederate of Sutton's in New
York. He did not immediately id
entify the individual or add any
other details.
Kline was described as a pris
on acquaintance of Sutton, who
was seized in Brooklyn Monday.
"They had been seeing each oth
er off and on," Monaghan said,
"and we have definite information
that they were going on a really
big "job" in the near future."
Lots of Handcuffs
Three detectives cornered Kling
in a Manhattan rooming house.
They said three pistols and 19 pairs
of handcuffs were found in the
room. There was no explanation
for the presence of the handcuffs.
The police commissioner de
scribed Kling as "one of the tough
est bandits in this country.
The commissioner would not re
veal how they picked up Kling's
trail. But he said the detectives
put in "28 hours of continuous
work" on the case. ,
Earlier, a tall young clothing
salesman with a memory for faces
turned up as the unsung hero in
the capture of the notorious Sut
ton. Given Tip
He is 24-year-old Arnold Schus
ter, who tipped off Brooklyn po
lice that a man he'd noticed on a
subway was the elusive, long
soueht bank robber.

two radio car patrolmen, as ne
pointed out Sutton to them.
Schuster recognized the 51 -year-old
Willie from a "wanted" pic
ture that hunir for months in his
father's Brooklyn clthing store,
where young Schuster worms.
The original police version of the
capture ommited any mention oi
