Proved Not to Be Murderer.

Hampton, Va, Sept. 2l--Much ex-
citement was created on the Old Point
wharf yesterday morning by the ar
rest Of a man at first believed to be
r. Leroy White, who is wanted in
North Carolina for numbering his wife.
The man was found wandering around
the wharf by Sergeant Turnham, who
has charge of the policing of the
wharf He was muttering to himself
something about his wife having been
murdered. Sergeant Turnham sent
the man to the guardhouse and later
he was turned over to Sheriff c. C.
Curtis. The sheriff finally turned the
prisoner over to Officer r. e. Gate
wood, of the Phoebus police force,
when II was discovered that the man
was a sailor named Mcfarland. who
had been missing from the battleship
louisiana for the past month.
Officer Gatewood took the prisoner
TO Portsmouth, where he was dsliv-
cred to the naval authorities for over
staying his leave.
The man had a strong resem blance
to White, but Officer Ghtewood said
that he was popular member Of the
Louisiana crew and had been on a
spree for several weeks
