The BOND STREET MURDER. proceed
ings of Thursday before the Coroner fill
twelve columns of the New York papers, and
elicit only the following facts, as summed up
in the Times:
can immense amount of testimony was
taken yestesday. in the Burdell inquest. The
great mass of it would have been admissible,
possibly, if Eckel or Mrs Cunningham were
upon trial. as it related almost exclusively to
their habits and manner of lite. Only two
points came out during the whole day calcu-
lated to throw the least giimIner of light upon
the tragedy, to direct inc uiries in regard to
it. One was the testimony of young man
named Tobey, who states that on Friday
night, at 9 or IL O'clock, he saw DR.. Bur
dell standing at the corner of Bond street and
the BOwery, apparently 'oaittng for somsbody !;
he is positive as to his identity, and states that
he then had on a hat and shawl. The other
was that of Mr. Ross, who, passing through
Bond street at about II O. clock, saw a man
wearing q cap and shawl, and answering
otherwise to the Doctors description, go up
the steps of the house No. 81 Bond street.

From the New York Tribune OF Saturday
alt was stated last evening that another
important witness had been discovered in the
person of q lady who called on DIR. Burdell
on the afternoon prior to the murder, and
found him and Mr.. Cunningham qarrelling
in the office of the former; on which occa.
sion Mrs. c. is said to have torn off her own
veil, and remsrked that she was not afraid of
showing her face, and Immediately left the
apartment and during the brief stay of the
MARTY raferrad m fbp noafor On hearing he
least noise, suddenly started, as though he
was afraid Of being again annoyed by Mrs
Cunningham.
Mrs. Cunningham has been quite indispos-
ed since Tuesday last. Her sickness is un-
derstood to have been occasioned by the
trying situation in which she has been placed
by the late tragedy. She, however, expresses
the utmost confidence OF her own acquittal.
She has not as yet read any newspapers con-
tanning reports or notices of the murder, but
manlfests the utmost anxiety to learn full par
ticulars of all the proceedings before the Cor
oner.
The various parties who have been detained
at the Fifteenth Ward Station House for
several days past as witnesses in this case,
