A WILD LOOKING TRAMP

CAPTURED BY DIR GORDON ON SATURDAY
ON B0T5FORD HILL.-WAS THOUGHT TO
BE MURDERER WANTED IN YORK
STATE NEW YORK OFFICERS FAIL TO
IDENTIFY HIM.--COMMITTED TO JAIL AT
BRIDGEPORT.
Quite an unusual excitement prevailed
on che Street on Saturday eveniE z, when
the word was passed along that a colored
man, a supposed New York state mur-
darer, had been captured on Botsford
Hill by DR. Gordon and lodged Ia the
lcckup. The man tailed well with the
description of the negro, John Henry
Barker, wanted in York.stat for murder.
Said Barker was said to be about 40 years
old, five feet, eight inches in height,
weighed about 155 pounds, had hollow
spot In crown of head, scar on forehead
and between the eyebrows, small nose,
long upper lip, full mouth, etc. The
tramp answered this description well,
and Sheriff Underhill Of White Plains,
who arrived on Monday, was puzzled for
q time. When brought in on Saturday,
the tramp, as one expressed it, twas
hideous looking ANIMAL" AID was evil
IDENTIFY not a safe man to be at large. He
had bushy head of hair, and on this
point Sheriff Underhill decided he was
not the man wanted. The tramp, who
gave the name Of Roe, was brought be-
fore Justice Bradley on Wednesday and
bound over to the Superior court on the
charge OF vagrancy. The tramp, when
taken in hand by DIR Gordon and his
man, II. f. Blake, was not inclined to ac-
cept the invitation to ride, but Mrs Eph.
rain Brlscoe appeared on the scene with
q shot gun, and he quickly changed his
mind,
