Pinkertons are said to have found suf-

cause the arrest of a man in Kent county.
In fact, Frank Butler. who was the last
man to see little Horace when he dis
appeared three weeks ago, said to the
newspaper men last night that he expects
to be arrested for the kidnapping of the
child. He said:
II believe / am going to be arrested.
don't know why they should suspect me
any more than any of the others who saw
the Marvin boy on the day he was kid
mapped. but l expect they are going to lock
me up
Butler is employed by Charles Woodall,
from whom DIR. Marvin bought the Bay
Meadows farm. He and Woodall were
hauling away corn on the day little Horace
disappeared.
General Superintendent Bearce of the
Pinkertons refused to make any statement
regarding Butler.
The unusual activity on the part of the
detectives and a series of telephone con-

tional developments.
Gov. Lea is said to have made prepara-

of any suspect that might be caught.
From a semi official source it is learned
that in the event of an arrest the prisoner
will be driven to a distant railroad station
and taken secretly to Wilmington. Of

English Clue Exploded.
PORTSMOUTH, England, March %
Missing Horace Marvin Is not at this port.
There has been the liveliest sort of a hunt
for the child who was seen on last Tuesday
In company with two men at the Harbor
station in this town by Mr.. Phillips. So
certain was he that the boy was Horace
Marvin, jr, that he notified the American
embassy in London; he told Mr.. Main, the
consular agent at this port, and he in
formed Scotland Yard detectives that the
young American was certainly in this town
The result of this was to stir up a COM
motion in the old town the like of which
has not been seen for years. After twelve
hour search an uncle of the double of the
missing American boy was found.
He proved to be very reputable resi-
dent and a well-known man In this town.

who had sent him over to the old coun-
try for visit. The child was produced,
and 1t was readily seen that he bore a
striking resemblance to the missing boy.
Three Arrests Made.
TROY. n. Y, March 25.-Three arrests in
Mechanicsville yesterday in connection with
the pursuit Of the Marvin kidnapers filed
that village with all sorts of rumors. De-
tective F. b. Murphy of Dover, Del, and
Deputy Sheriff Fox of Saratoga county
who have been working on the case for the
last week or ten days, say that while they
have learned nothing definite relative to the
whereabouts of the missing boy, they have
reason to believe that he is either in
Mechanicsville or only few miles from
that village.
Arson Williams. a negro, In whose com
pany was little white-haired boy, was ar
ing the kidnaper 1t turneu out however
that the boy was the of Williams en-
ployer. Two Italians have also been ar
rested by the officers and are being held
awaiting developments. The Italians are
unable TO speak English, but refuse to dis
cuss the case through an interpreter. While
Detective Murphy is of the opinion that
they were not actively engaged In the kid
mapping, he thinks they may know some
thing regarding the whereabouts of the
boy at the present time.
