NDr. J. w. Gordon, formerly of this city, but now of Sandy Hook, made a capture of a ha1f-breed negro Satur- day evening between Sandy Hook and Botsford station, that will afford con siderable relief to residents of that section Whether the captured one will turn out to be- a wife murderer or wild man, the authorities up that way do not know. He is one thing or the other and consequently his cap- ture and detention affords relief to the community.
 About a month ago pr. Gordon was on a sick call and he got a glimpse of the negro in a lonesome spot and his appearance was so striking that when the man got out of his sight the doctor could not erase the impress sion made on his mind. He corre- sponded closely to the descriptions of, John Henry Barker, who is wanted in White Plains, N. r., for murdering his wife
 The opportunity afforded itself Sat urday evening when the doctor was driving along <the road. When he became convinced, that the skulking figure was the man he wanted, he threw the reins to his driver and jumped out of his' wagon and walk ed up to the man and told him him to go with him to Newtown. The man did not want to go and made the cu- rfous expression: 'T didn't suck my Wife's blood.''
 He acted and talked like a wild man; his hair. long and unkempt; his clothes filthy to an extreme degree and his shirt was so rotten that 1t came apart and dropped off when his clothes were taken off.
 A telegram to the Farmer this af- ternoon says that if the man is not the White Plains wife murderer he is crazy and that if he is the man want ed he is a good actor.
