Topeka, Kan, April 2S.-The excite
nent about the old man, who arrived here
last Sunday in charge of Special Agent
Hampton, of Utah, on the requisition of
Gov Osborn, from Salt Lake, still contin
aes. Hundreds still visit the wild looking
man in his cell, but opinion as to his iden-
tity is divided The man sent here o-day
by Senator York, brother of one of the
Bender victims, did not think him the old
man they wanted; others who were up
rom the same locality, state their strong
conviction of his being the man. The
prisoner has wild appearance, with mat
ted hair, ragged and dirty, and acts de-
mented. lie is very taclturn, pretending
that he cannot speak, but shows two fng-
ers missing, intimating his not being old
Bender, who only had one missing. New
ertheless, he is generally believed to be
the man wanted. He was captured by a
workman on the road in Sever County
Utah; was taken to Salt Lake City by
Sheriff Fouty, and, on the expressed
belief of parties who knew Bender, was
sent here. Other parties will be here to-
morrow to identify him.
