EDITOR OF THE New YORK HERALD :

There is strange story which has been Whispered
in some circles for the past few days. that John c. Colt
the murderer, had he not been convicted for the
murder of Adams, would have been on trial for
another murder The story is, that person resident
in Detroit, left his home some two years ago, and
started for this city and has since never been
heard of.
The last he was seen was at the Bowery theatre
well acquainted with the individual. About the
time of his disappearance vessel arrived at New
Orleans from this port having on board a box con-
tanning human body, addressed to fictitious
of physician in the interior. The box was handed
over to the authorities of New Orleans, who pre-.
Stunning it TO be a subject for anatomy, thought no
more of the matter and buried the body. The eb-
ect of this ask you whether there is any grounds
for such rumor-and whether you are able to throw
any light this strange story II it be not true
should be conradcted 1t is also said that District
Attorney Whiting has all the facts of the transact
ton in his possession. CLIO
