Think They Have Right Man.

The police believe that the negro. Thomas
Archer. arrested early yesterday. is guilty
of the murder. They are weaving a strong
case of circumstantial evidence against
!! him. The two red marks on his hat they
declare to be blood splotches, and not
paint, as alleged by Archer. The prisoners
shoe also fts the track made by the muir
derer, and still further evidence against him
is given by Mrs. Quentin Overman. who
sitting at her front window at the tine Of
the murder saw man pause under an arc
light as ii undecided which way to 60 She
described the clothing of the man before
being advised of the color pattern of the
clothing worn by Archer. and her descrip-
ton correSponded almost exactly with that
| Of Archer. The prisoner was recently dis
charged from the navy, and the police de-
clare that while in the navy he obtained
knowledge Of the life at the horseback
home.
Taken there late yesterday afternoon. to
the spot where the murder was committed
the police say that he first became nervous
and then ashen. Mrs. Overman thought
the man she saw under the arc light was
a white man. but Archer Is a very light
mulatto. and he might easily have been
taken for a White man under arc light

While the police are strongly inclined
to the belief that Archer is the guilty
party, they have not ceased in their efforts
in the case. and will make other arrests

Is still being held. although the police will
not say more about his arrest other than
that he was arrested at the request Of

lice force of the community is at work on
the case. The citizens of Portsmouth are
excitedly discussing the murder the
