II is generally believed by those who have seen the
body of the murdered woman that the under clothes
which she had on, when found, were put upon her
BODY after the murder committed; this presump-
ton is based upon the fact that the strings OF the
skirts all tied at the back, instead of being
brought round and tied Oh the front.
II was also currently reported In tho city of New
burrh, Yesterday, that at the funeral on Sunday
small woman, apparently quadroon, slightly built,
about 80 or 90 years of age, made her appearance,
evidently in very painful state of mental excitement
She was heard saving that niece of hers had LETT
Bro,,Llvn week ago. on Thursday last, to go to
New burgh and that she had kept company with
vou1g man for three years also, that both she and
lie said Young man had been absent ever since and
no tidnCs whatever Ind been heard of them. She
could not tell whether they came together or not
She gave no whatever Of any OF the parties.
She said tla she had heard on Saturday night that
the body Of murdered woman had been found,
that she heard it by telegraph and had come hither to
examine the body and if it was that OF her niece
She came up on Saturday night at late hour, and
fully expected that she would be permitted to see the
body She followed the funeral procession to the
burying ground, and shed tears most proflsey, fire.
quently assuring the bystanders that she knew It must
be her niece She could not however, gain the OBJ
ject of her search, having omitted to apply to the
Coroner or other responsible officer. She is said to
have eft Newburgh yesterday morning at O'Clock for
Brooklyn. Should this statement meet her eye, or
should any of her friends observe it, they will confer
service to the of Justice by at once putting them
selves into communication with DR.. John w. Fenton,
Coroner, Newburgh, Orange County.
Another story was the subject of gossip, whether
true or not il is given for what is worth. II Il IN
reference to woman from Brooklyn who was ex-
pected near Newburgh one day last week and had
not arrived according to expectation. She s said to
own some property near the City of Newburgh, not
far from where the murdered woman was found. She
is said to have been in love with Duchman who
was very rich and also in love with sailor who paid
great attention to her. but she had married the Dutch
| man for his money, and the sailor, who had been
visiting her recently had not been seen since she
| lef home to 60 TO Newbsrgh. She wore cameo
| breastpn. In the course Of the day, however, it
iranspired tina, this young woman was safe at home
under the protection of her loving and rich husband;
and the sailor perhaps broken hearted, in all proba
bility gone TO to make another voyage before he
| marries.
Such is the state of things at present no light what
ever had been thrown upon the subject up to the time
of our reporters leaving Newburgh yesterday after
! noon.
| The whole matter is envelOped in deeper mystery
han ever, and gloom hangs over the quiet vicinity
Of Newburgh; but determination the part of every
juror to spend time and money if need be- will no
| doubt bring about unraveing of the crcumstan'
attending this affair. II is perfectly unaccounable
why the body should have been recognized as that
of Sarah Bloom for there is not the slightest resen
blanee upon which to base mistake. except in the
marks upon the body which are (most Of theml out OF
sight to the ordinary observer In the face there
not the nearest resemblance in any respect but that OF
| the scar.
Crcumstantal evidence has signally failed in thi:
case TO effect anything favorable to the discovery oil
tie foul perpetrator Of the cold bloodei and heares
| deed. and another evidence i furnished the cOmmu
nifty of the danger consequent upon strong prejudice
formed at too early stage in such investigation a
that which exctes the feelings of the citizens
