Strenuous exer:ons have been and still being made
b, Coroner CouneIy aided by the police, to ferret out
the tulty party.
Coroner Copnery yesterday continued the investsa-
ton at the Thirtettth Precinct Police STATEN, aud
took considerable evidence, none of which pointed d.
rccy TO the individual who committed the fatal VIC
lence although the impression is rapidly gaining
ground that the deceased received his a.
tie hands of one Of the Buepa Vita Guards, alas
tie "Forty Thieves" as a member of that crsanza-
ton was seen to strike Mr. Dodd on the night in ques
ton. Some hearsay testimony was introduced, going
TO show that directly after Dodd was so fearfuly
injured be was conveyed to the New York Hospital
in carriage, accompanied by two police officers; but
that Dodd was ever in the Hospital has not been
proven, and no policemen can be found who will con-
fess to seeirg Dodd subsequently to bis jaw being
fractured.
Search is being made for hackman who it is be-
lieyed conve, cd the deceased from some point
Broadway TO the premises of DR. Ahefn; bat no clue
OIL that point has been given FL the officers 70 YORK
