ton, which ID vestedwith an air of mystery, and
whieh-has revealed one Of the most cold -blooded
murders ever recorded. Old Coe, the father Of
the girl, had repeatedly dreamed that the missing
woman had been murdered, and that the body was
eoncealsdsh.a kardeny and in particular spot.
Impreessd nth thi: idea, hs repaired yesterday

ter sounding the nature Of the ground in various
ptaces,.spots vare at length found which yielded
70 the pressure, and upon digging into the earth,
the trunk Of . wonisn was found clothed in pink
waist, and wrapped in eoarSe sacking. This waist
was the same which she wore the night previous to
her disappearance Upon digging in other places,
other di:membsrsd portio1: Of the body were
severed from tho body the trunk disjointed at the
thighs, the legs sundered at tho knees, and the
arms severed at the shoulders and elboxs-all in
remarkable state Of preservation, and such 40
could not fail to identify the person. The fea-
lures of the face were. almost perfect. The por-
tions of the limbs below the elbows and knees have
not yet been found. These portions of the body
quest held upon them, which resulted in the YER
dict that the deceased came to her death by vio-
lence from person or persons unknown to the ju.
~; but that suspicion rested upon Isaac Randolph,
husband of the deceased. Accordingly, measures
were Immediately taken for the arrest of said
Randolph. '''''<.- -
Randolph loft this city some four weeks ago,
and was supposed to be either in Hartford or Wa
terbury; and accordingly telegraphic dispatches
were forwarded to the police Of those places
The result has proved most successful, in as much
~ the fugitive was brought to this city. When
arrested, he joked freely, and asked why he was
taken. But when he saw Charles Coe, brother of
the doeeased,' who had also gone in pursuit of
him, his manner changed at onoe, and he was 81
lent after that. . ~..-.y :.
He was a butcher BY trade, and it seems, under

dissected abody moro sneatly than did he the body
of the murdered woman. His implements seemed
to have been an axe and knife. He is now safe.

vslopements are expected.
The murdsris thought to have been committed
either from jealousy, Or to obtain possession Of
her $500 Or bUth.
