SEARCHING FOR CLEWS
The Hampstead and Paterson
Murder Mysteries.
VAN ooTT IS SUSPECTED.

Police Think He May Have Killed stephen
PoweI-New Developments In the sui
livan Case-Possibly the Music Teacher
Was Killed by Mistake.
HENPsTEAD, n. y, March 11.-At the
end OF the fourth day that has passed since
the murder Of stephen Powell there Is in
view nothing more tangible than theories.
Most Of the circumstantial evidence
against the negro, John Wayne, is inoon-
sequential That District Attorney Noble
is losing confidence IN the theory that
Wayne committed the murder is shown by
the discharge Of George Jarvis. 1t is
shown also by his order to arrest Thomas
Van Colt, q whito man. Although the
iron bar, the stocking, the pair Of cuffs
and the brlarwood pipe are still In evil
donce, no serious consideration is given TO
the part they may play in the mystery.
They have simply been picked up, and an
effort has been made to weave a theory
around them.
All that has been said about a homeless
negro wearing four ply linen cuffs has the
coloring Of dime novel literature. John
Wayne at one time may have owned
pair Of socks, but that cuffs were ever
part Of his wardrobe is not believed.
The really important development wos
the order TO arrest Thomas Van Cott.
There are two Van Colts, brothers, named
Thomas and John. They lived in Hemp
stead once, and their reputation was not Of
the best. As soon as the order went out
to find Thomas Van Cott, Constable John
Doty and George Tydeman, a special dep
uty, started out TO locate John Van Cott.
They found him at Norwood place about
three miles from here He knew nothing
about his brothers. movements on Satur
day night Thomas Van Cott lives some
whore in New Jersey and will be arrested
before tonight, It is thought
why He Is Wanted.
1t is said that suspicion attaches 10 Van
COtt because he was seen in Hampstead
on Saturday night for the first timo In
years. There is said to be another reason
why the officers want Van Cott to give an
account of himself. About five years ago
Thomas Powell, the murdered man, was
robbed Of 5000. Tho money was taken
from his house, and the burglars crept
through window to get it. At that time
suspicion attached to Van Cott IL was
reported that he had boasted of spending
old man Powell's money, but had said
lAbN nc ODluluNu ~ III a AoAANAAARN~ mum
ner. The actual robber, who was men,
Der Of Mr.. Powells family, Van Cott
said gave It to him.
Van Colts reputation attracts suspicion
toward him at the present time. The man
who committed the murder Of Mr.. Pow
ell evidently knew his habits He was
careless with his money and usually car
ried II loose in his pockets. The assassin
also knew that last Saturday was the day
the gas collections were made for Mr.. Pow
ell All these circumstances point TO the
fact that the murderer was familiar with
this villnge and probably had lived here
or lives here now. If Thomas Van Cott
is innocent, he can easily produce proof
before Coroner Coombs, who will hold the
inquest at 2. m. tomorrow.
