 Derby, Conn. Sept 22.-Chief of Po- lice Arnold, who has a man under ar rest on suspicion that he is Hooper Young, wanted in New York on ac- count of the murder of Mrs Annie Pulitzer, was still uncertain this morn ing regarding the identity. of his prls- oner. At o'clock he had not com municated with Captain Titus of the New York police department, and said he was not sure that he would do so.
 There is more doubt this morning in the minds of the police that the pris- 1 oenr is the much wanted Young than was felt last night. Although in many ways the man answers the description of Young, his complexion is not So dark ,and the teeth of the prisoner do not correspond with the description. This man has two teeth missing from the lower jaw on the right side, and one has been removed from the left side recently. He has receding fore head, very prominent cheek bones and a protruding lip. His hair is brownish black.
 When interviewed in his cell this morning the prisoner talked readily and, with a good deal of intelligence. He said his name was Bert Edwards, that he is 26 years old, and formerly lived with his step-father, Henry Carruthers, and his mother at 620 Sixth street, Portland, Ore. He left Portland on, June 5because of a fight with his Step- father and has since been roaming about the country. He declared that he had not been in New York, though he afterwards contradicted this statement. A shabby black and brown coat which he wore bore the name of a New York firm on the inside of a pocket. The name was that of Fletscheimer, Fisher < Go. A pair of light trousers covered by a new pair of overalls, black and gray double breasted vests and brogans completed the mans dress.
 The prisoner said that for the last two weeks he has been wandering about Connecticut, having come into this state from Springfield, Mass He said he had been in Winsted and Ridge field.
 Later in the forenoon it was given out here that a detective of Captain Titus's force was on the way here from New York to examine the prisoner. A picture of Young which appeared in New York paper was shown here dur ing the morning, and was said by those who had seen the prisoner to be a> ge- markable likeness of him, except that he has no moustache.
 In connection with the finding of red pepper in the pocket of the prisoners coat, the Derby police say they have been informed that a package of red pepper was also found in the trunk shipped to Chicago by Young and seized there by the police.
 Detective Finley of the New York detective force and Gustav A. Ernest of Brooklyn arrived here on the 2:30 train this afternoon Ernest knew Young in Brooklyn and after an exam ination of the prisoner under arrest here Detective Finley said he was sure ly Young. Ernest is employed as sign painter at McLeavey's physical culture school in Brooklyn Some time ago William Hooper Young was employed there directing circulars. Ernest was well acquainted with him and after ex- amining him pretty closely this after noon said that he was pretty sure it was Young. Said Ernest: His hair is the same, his mouth is the same, and he has the same voice With the mus tache gone do not want to swear just now that he Is Young, but am sure I cannot be mistaken" Finley said: Tt is a cinch that we have the man and. have ordered him held by the Con- nect1cut authorities and have tele- graphed to New York to send on boy who works in a bath house where Young used to be rubbed down'
 New York, Sept 22.-william F. S. Hart received to-day word to defend William Hooper Young if he is arrest ed. Attorney Hart received a cable gram from John ".
