THE ASSASSINATION IN WATER STREET.
og or THE ALLEGED MURDERERs ARRESTED
AND IDENTIFIED.
Since tie honid assassination In the dsnce-house Of
IN Dr;sooD, No. 277I Water street, early on Thurs-
sy morning last, Officers Shapgle Quick and Others
Ave been most actively engaged 10 search OF the
rrdersrs. In addition to some arrests which were
ssde on suspicion the light following the butchery
IN police have since succeeded In snestiug three
ksish soldiers in Brooklyn, one Of whom, fortu-
ssly for the s,ds Of justice has been identified as
tupsDion of the two men who committed the MUIR
d. The other two, however, not having been rscog-
bed BY any occupants Of the dan house, were dis
Gagged.
4 While in Peck Slip, not far from o'clock on Friday
Isr.nDg, Diiscoll saw young man who afterwards
gave hh name as Francis vardel, Spsuisrd, and in.
sasty reccgtize bin as man who hsd been in the
4sb. Of coming 10 bis place. vsrdel was followed BY
hlscoll 10 Fulton Market, and from thence through
hnut aud Roosevelt Streets till Q couple of officers
were found Arrest him. The prisoner was confronted
with DrscoWs girls who were in the house at the time
Andrew McManus and the womsn 6usan Dempsey
were murdered, who identified him as having been at
the house with the asesssins.
yrdsl admitted that he had been ia Water street
utAs night Of the murder, in company with two mon
sybou he knew and expressed willingness to point
Nm ont to the officers II they would accompany him
sbBpoklyn. They gla lily consented, and accordingly
rrted two men whom vardel pointed out in Brook
and conducted them to the Station. House. They
sxtsd most positively that they were not in the City
he night of the murder and Vardel finally con-
iced that the persons he had poiuted ont were not
sasisht ones. He wanted to 90 to Brooklyn again
sfs the other men, but not permitted to do so,
shshsd told q falsehood in the fret instance.
Arnold james, the sailor, upon sesing Vardel imme-
ds.y identified him az the individual who stabbed
LIN and the deceased, McManus; but strange to say,
esther Drisco or his girls pretended to identify the
pimer as one Of the murderers, although they say
aohsn frequented the house. The Coroner concluded
ku Yardel under 9Th, and let him tell bis story;
gave Q confused ard evidently An untra.htui &C.
Sns Of himself, and what he swore to was contra
ssd BY witness or tao.

sium hight, sailow complexion, wearing neither
slss or mustache. He has peculiar and tresoh-
W expression of the eyes. Vsrdsl has been ma
