THE NE WBURGH MYSTERY.

The COrpner jury met by adjournment on Satur-
day. but no new facts elected nor any clue de-
veloped which could be named with certainty. The
Coroner is exceedingly careful in the exercise of his
official power and the heartless perpetrator to be
discovered at ALL the cautious but deliberate manner
in which DIR. Fenton is proceeding in this case will
doubtless bring the offender to justice The Jury did
nothing on Saturday beyond a exchange of the
DRY and opinion. After short session they adj
journed.
They have deemed best not to be discharged yet,
inasmuch the leaving Of the inquest open places the
Coroner in position where he act at any moment,
should anything new turn up waranting immediate
attention Were he to discharge the Jury, it would
require some time reach BY due process of law any
party who might be suspected As it is, however the
the Coroner call upon any party upon whom aus
picion NAV be fastened to witness, and if
the testimony given should justify the holding of that
witness. then the Coroner has power to bold him to
bail or keep him in custody. For this reason the Cor
oner at burgh thought it best not to discharge the
jury until the discovery of the murderer had become
hopeless. Meantime, Coroner FentOn and several
other respectable citizens in Orange County have
written to Gov. King soliciting him to offer reward
for the discovery of the murderer of the unknown
man, II is considered that reward will do something
effectua in bringing to light something in relation
to the mystery which now envelopes this case.
The people of Newburgh seem to be gradually re-
turning to their mental equilibrium. The excitement
caused by the Identification of Sarah Bloom, and the
determination to treat Mr.. jenkins a murderer
seems to have died away. The only curiosity which
at present remains unqualified is how the suspicion
irt came to be- fastened on jenkins, or why Sarah
Bloom had any claim to be murdered. 1t is thought
