sary 10 90 back little in the order Of event.. will
be remembered that the testimony as 10 the identity
Of the murdered girl with Sarah Bloom was founded
mainly upon certain marks upon the person Sarah
Bloom wa missing and had not been heard of from
the moment when Mr. jenkins testified that he e her
on Tuesday night near the house of Mr.. Morris Ma
ten at the Basin. As Mr.. jenkins the last person
known TO have been IN her company, he WIS AT the
close Of the examination on Saturday committed 10
the cells to await the result Of the inquest Pro,ess
was issued Sunday morning for the attendance of Mr.
James Mitchell and Mr. Masten, and while the officer
was absent 10 serve the summons the news snraad
through town like widfre that Sarah Bloom had been
brought to the Court House. By the kindness Of the
Coroner We admitted 10 the room where she
was. and obtained from her own lips a So
linton Of the mystery attending her disappearance
She said that Mr.. jenkins left her within few rods
Of the house OF Mr.. Mssten, he testified and that
for half an hour she knocked at the door in van
for admission. Finding that it was impossible to
arouse the family she finally decided 10 walk on 10 the
house of Mrs. Sarah Dougherty, in Pleasant Valley
distance Of some five miles. She walked all night
arriving there some time the next forenoon. There
che remained and up to Saturday night had heard
nothing of the murder. That evening a person came
TO the house and told her of the fact-hat she was
supposed TO be the person murdered, and that her
sister had been summoned upon the examination We
think she said she started for her sisters residence the
next morning to assure her OF her being alive Mr..
b. MKeuren, who lives between the Valley aud the
Basin saw Sarah passing his house on Wednesday
morning and. learning of the suspicious ahoat was
advised to take her al once TO Newburgh. In CON-
pany with two other persons Sarah brought down
10 the Court House and notice of her arrival sent 10
the Coroner. As he satisfied of her being
really Sarah Bloom Mr.. jenkins set at liberty
We have now 10 record some singular facts connect
ed with the person of Miss Bloom. She remarked
that the person described in the testimony given in
The DAILY Ners. was her own description TO a remark
able degree. She has mark on her left eyebrow
corresponding with that on the body. She has sore
ON her left arm precisely as described by her sister
and Mrs. Masten. A cut finger also TALES
acty. But most singular of all, peculiar growth of
the toes on the left foot by which mainly Jane Bloom
identified the body that of her sister correspondent
to degree that would hardly to leave room for
a question. Can We wonder that the recognition
considered positive The hight, figure and apparent
age also very exactly similar. Miss Bloom may be
triie heavier than the murdered girl.
While all these simarities NIGH very naturally mis-
lead the witnesses especially taken in connection with
the fact that Sarah Bloom was missing, there were
still marked differences between the two. Miss
Blooms hair is much finer and less in quantity. The
color varies by some shades. The essentially
dis-similar Miss Blooms Is quite prominent-that of
the murdered girl straight Grecian. The express
sion of the face must have been very unlike but the
hands and feet are very similar.
Miss Bloom signifies her entire Willingness to remain
under charge Of the Coroner until all question OF her
identity put to rest The foul murder is shrouded
in deeper mystery than ever. The officers now
without single clue which to start an investiga-
ton. The presumption now must be, that the body
brought here from distance. An excellent jury
has been summoned on the inquest and no effort will
be spared to ferret out the terrible mystery.
