; About len days ago Cstbarine Muihesrn, IN lrish

IN. notorious gambling house Of Bob Wills, jSl
Broadway, lsle not knowing The character OF the place
when she engaged 10 go fhrre,I was arrested oil a
rrumppd up charge OF larceny, preferred hgaln.i her
by Willis on u female inmate Of HE gambling he'll.
During her incarceration IN the TombS awaI!i:g
lria,. Catharina, in view of ih- manner she WAS b.iDg
perseouted,, made some startling disclosures, which, 1t
true, will explain iie = est anxiety on the part OF
Willis 10 damage her reputation, aud, II possible, 10
get her sent 10 Blackweits Island. Catharlne alleges
that a little over q month since she had gred! reason
to believe that some men unkncwn 10 her wac ropea
into Willis resort, there sTindied ont OF his money
and sfterw6rds murdered.
In TACT che positively as,er's that ea9 saw the re.
mains ni d dead man IN thu c;siern the morning after
there had been a tertib!a rgni in the basement, when
she heard & man beg his ns.si!snts 10 spare his HE.
This story wss related To justice Connolly, who pro
cured the girls liberation anc took her aihdavlt touch
ing the discoveries she had MAIDS III the house and
cisrern u lew hours after she heard some one implore
Tor mercy.
On the complaint OF tina Girl. Justice Connolly issued
a warrant, and late on Tuesday night. accompanied
by tho officers of his court, Capt. WaIling and seve
raj OF the Detectives. Captain Turnbul!, OF the 9Th pre-
cinct, and others, he proceeded 10 execute the process
in person.
The premises were completely surrounded and oil
chances for escape being cut Of, the Judge, with about
II or Is officers, rang the bell o. the gambling house
which was answered by 4 colored man, who. on open
ing the door, declined admitting the party, but th-
ponderous magistrate pushed him aside, aud the ofi-
Gers rushed up stairs.
On entering the second story, rear parlor, seve.a!
men we're found seated about a table playing 'Fsro'
The Judge Immediately announced, IN a loud voice.

but the magistrate refused 10 listen to their lmporlu-
mites.
Justice Connolly aud the officers subsequently re.
turned TO Willis house. which they thoroughly exam
ined from top 10 bottom, in hopes OF binding some
traces of the body OF the man alleged TO have been
murdered. The cistern Was thoroughly raked, but
owing to the quantity OF water Il contained tho ex-
animation was not satisfactory. and will be resumed.
In The wood work OF the cis,ern, Numerous blood
spots were visible, and on the w.! ana u)or OF d dH'a
passage in the basement were visibl. large quantities
of blood, as described by the girl Muihearn. What
was then discovered, except az regards the body, cor
robOrated the statements Of the Captain; and The
general impression among the officers, Judge Con-
molly, aud others, was that there bud been foul work,
and a moat 8trocious murder committed 10 that DEN
of gamblers.
A gentlemen who had bsen vic;imizad recently by
gamblers to the tune Of s., 600 has been mYs.eriously
missing from ts hotel (St. Nlcholas' since Friday
iast. His name is g.. Be!dstsin Holiday. OF The
Swedish Royal Navy.
His baggage remains undisturbed IN his room. END
hi. friends are in great distress at his absence. When
last seen Mr.. Holiday was much inebria'ed. and in
such great state Of excitement, on accoun; o! The mo-
ney the gamblers had Won from him, that ie then
threatened 10 blow hia brains out.
Tha \. Y. Commercial Advertiser OF Thursday,
saws: No clue hss Yet bsen obtsined TO the Dame ofthe
sunposed murdered man. The Swedish gentleman
whose disappearance IRON the ST. Nicholas hotel was
mentioned in this connection yesterday cannot be the
| psrson. for he did not disappear until alter the date
OF the circumstances teetitisd TO by the servant girl
Catharine MulhearD.
CAPTAIN Waiiiug stated to the magistrate yesterday
afternoon that Dr. Chiffon had scrspsd some ot the
stains of n. wsiI; aud that he had told hin they we're
staina OF blood, although he was not prepared TO make
an affidavit just yet.
THIS examination was resumed ;nis morning before
Justics Connslly. The chs.gs Of gambling was
again all that was touched upon, no sliusion being
made 10 the alleged mysterious f2urdsr. lh1 police
who made thu deacsnt could rot positively swear
that the party were gambling ct the time, but the prs
sumption va. that the gains was going op. a cecis-
ion will be given on .his p~o;nt!h!s afternoon.
To morrow the murder mystery will probably be
investigated.
