Hafper's Ferry, Nay 4.-On Thurs
day last, a man named John Markley,
was arrested in thi, ncighborhood on
suspicion of being the murderer of Miss
Evelina Cunningham, near Baltimore,
and Of having assisted in the robbery
of the house of John Newey; of Free
derrick county, Md. AS to his guilt on
the last. charge, there is scarcely room for
a. doubt; and during his examination on
the first, he gave so many contradicto-
~ answers, and told so many paIpa-
bic falsehoods, as to leave impressions
highly unfavourable to him upon the
minds of those who were present. lie
said he was in Baltimore at the time of
murder, but had previously informed one
person at least that he had passed by
the place Of the murder t,Do hours after
it was committed. He lisa person near
ly six feet high. a little stoop shoulder
ed has black hair and whissers, and
says he is SO years of age. Ee was
10 months in the penitentiary Of this
state. That he has been guilty of some
crime, is evident from the perturbation
of mind exhibited by him previous to
his arrest; and the superstition is m
frmed by the fact, that when he left
Loudoun, on the 9th of March, he was
destitute of clothing, whereas when he
returned, on the 18th of April, he had
on a good suit OF blue cloth, a hat near
~ new, a fine shirt and waistcoat, and
boots not half worn. And yet, accor-
ding to his " confession, he had not
worked a day during bis absence. He
is now in Chariestown Jail, awaiting a
further examination. If the murderer
has not beer elsewhere detected, we
hope the proper authorities in Maryland
will take immediate measure to have an
examination made ofthe person above
named.-Fres Press.
