A BLOODY CARPET BAa.-On Sunday, the day
after the murder of Dr.. Burdell, a man called at
the trunk store of Mr.. Hill, No. 43s Hudson
street, near Morton, and purchased a large car
pet.bag, into which be put bundle of clothing,
after which be locked the bag and took the key,
stating at the same time that he would leave the
bag for short time, as he was going to New
Haven. The bag remaining for several days

Mr.. Hills mind that the bag might have some
connection with the Pond street affair. MIR.
Hill called in a policeman and the bag was

To the Editors of the New York Daily Times:
Seeing many false statements in relation to
George Y. Snodgrass, l will simply say that he
has been in my employment since the 1st of JAN
uary, and he has always fulfilled his duties to my
entire satisfaction, and was in my store at the
time the dagger was said to have been pur-
chased, which can be proved when called for by
young men in my employment. Hoping that
this will silence many SANDERS against him and
his family, remain, DAVID McMURRY. Jr.

Yours, Respectfully, 4 r
The Burdell Case.

The Grand Jury commenced their lnyestlga-
ton yesterday morning, about, II o'clock
Their proceedings of course, were kept secret,
Farrell, Hannah Conlan, the cook; Mary, the
housemaid, and Snodgrass, were the principal
witnesses examined. Some little rumors leaked
out Of the Jury room. For instance, it was
said that Snodgrass had made clean confess
sion duplicating Mrs. Cunningham as principal,
and her daughter, Augusta, as accessory. The
origin Of this rumor was his statement yester-
day before the Coroner that if any parties in
the house were cognizant Of the murder Mrs.
Cunningham and her daughter were those par
ties.
The Grand Jury continued their investigation
to late hour. The witness Farrell was dis
charged without bail, his honesty being relied
upon for his appearance. 1t was understood
that the cook and housemaid would be set at
liberty this morning, and that Augusta Cunning
ham would likewise be discharged immediate
ly after their testimony had been received by
the Grand Jury. This general delivery of wit
nesses is in accordance with the theory of the
District Attorney, that no more witnesses
should be treated as prisoners and confined in
jail.
These young ladies still remain at the house
in Bond street. in company with their little
brothers, under the surveillance Of the officer
appointed by the public administrator, and Off.
Ger Davis, OF the fifteenth Ward.
Snodgrass states that he and the girls, several
nights in succession, had placed cotton loosely
+ under the door leading from Eckel's to Mrs
