Police arrested a suspect that closely matched the description on Sunday. The suspect had gloves that Mrs. Harmon identified as the same gloves worn by her attacker. The man was also wearing blue clothes and khakis. The pocket knife that the 33-year-old was carrying, though, had a blade much shorter than five inches. This man was also cleanly shaven. After investigating the suspect, officers did not believe this man was the Phantom. According to the man's story about bumming around the country, he could not have been in Texarkana at the time of the slaying of Virgil Starks. The man said that he left Pine Bluff in the latter part of April and went to Colorado. Officers said that they were going to thoroughly check his story. They kept him in jail for three weeks so that his beard would grow back, which would allow Mrs. Harmon to definitively identify him as her attacker.
