If you are meaning clues that the police officers found to charge the murderer, here are some I came up with:
Clues collected for the murder of the old man:
v The shriek heard in the night that led the police officers to investigate the house.
v The confession from the young man that was arrested on the charge of murdering the old man.
v The young man being openly afraid and disgusted by 'evil eyes'. This gives a motive for the murder.
v The tool used the dismembered the corpse. This could be checked for fingerprints.
v The knowledge of the house; the floorboards that were torn up and the finding of a suitable weapon to cut up the body.
Clues collected by the police officers at the scene:
v The scraping of the chair against the floorboards in the place of the old man's dismembered corpse indicating knowledge of the body lying there.
v The rapid increase in volume and speed of the suspect's speech, showing his conscience and realisation of the crime he had just committed.

∙ 12y agoThe narrator in The Tell-Tale Heart is the murderer of the old man (he had weird eye movement that the narrator despised). The narrator also claims that he is not insane, though he could be possibly paranoid. In the end, when the police come in to investigate (because a neighbor had heard the screaming of the old man being murdered and notified the police), the narrator simply tells them that the screams were from him, having a bad dream. Strangely, the narrator is calm with the policemen in the house, but because of the narrator burying the remains of the old man under the floorboards, he hears a heart beating. He believes that it is the old man's heart, beating thus pressuring him to confess. However, it could have been the narrator's heart, or that he was paranoid; therefore, no sound was heard at all. Either way, the narrator gave up and confessed that he killed the old man and hid his remains under the floorboards.

I imagine it was a couple of things. They probably sacrificed a chicken in the ceremony that transferred his soul from the body of Johnny Favourite to the body of Harry Angel. Plus in Chinese mythology the chicken symbolises pride...and what does pride come before?
