FIRST EDITION.
Identified as an Ex.COnvict from
Auburn state Prison.

@1~oA Ss&ho HAbOhs
Rich MoND, Va, Sept. CA letter
has been received here from the Su-
perintendent of the State Prison at
Auburn, N. Y, stating that man be-
lieved TO be Marvin, the polygamist,
served term of three years In . that
institution several years ago for for
gerry. lie was described as q man
about So, and had a spread eagle on
his right arm made with India Ink
On his left an American flag, the staff
of which was held in the beak of an
eagle, was also worked in the same
manner. Beneath il were the initials
T. A. M. A birthmark about the size
of silver quarIer, the superinten-
wrote, would be be found below the
prisoners neck between the shoul-
ders.
The jailoryesterday desire
to make an examination of Marvin's
person, which he opposed. He was
threatened with force In order to carry
out the officers design if he would not
submit. After considerable delay and
| persistent opposition the prisoner a.
| nally permitted himself to be stripped
to the waist. All of the designs de-
scribed by the Auburn Prison authori-
ties were found to correspond exactly.
The spread eagle on his right arm was
somewhat pale and showed signs of
having been tampered with for the
purpose of celebrating the ink. 1t
was, however, sufficiently clear to be
easily discerned. Marvin manifested
| considerable anxiety about the dis
covery.

Where was Gen Arthur BOrn7
We do not PROFOUND this question
because we entertain any doubt on the
subject. We entertain no doubt. We
believe he would not have accepted
the nomination for Vice President II
United States because the constitu-
tion of the United States provides thai
no person constitutionally ineligible tt
the office of President shall be eligible
to that of Vice President of the United
States and no person except natu-
raj born citizen, or q citizen of the
United States at the time of the adop.
tion of the CoHstitutiOn-which latter
Gen. Arthur cannot have been unless
he possesses the secret of perpetual
youth-is eligible to the Office of Pres
ident.
But we put the question because 1t ii
very current among the people, and the
assertion that he was born in Canada
is widely credited.
If he was born in Canada, it mus
have been in the confident belief tina
Canada would soon be annexed to lh'
United States. Moreover, II be wa
born in Canada, he must have beef
born again, as he has been bern ono
In this country.
