ARREST OF A MURDERESS.

Margaret Sheridan, the young woman who stabbed
Michael Cornelius on Sunday night, WAS arrested last
evening at the Village of Yonkers, by oicsrs Jour
dan and Giegan Of TIE Sixth Police Precinct II will
lie remembered that Cornelius was found 10 the cellar
way Of miserab. old rooksry on Baxter street. with
frightful stab in his left breast and conveyed in a
irsersible condition to the New-York Hospital.
Cornelius subsequently came to his senses, but was
rnabe TO give any account OF himself of the person
who stabbed linn. He fingered until wednesday
ri,ht. when death relieved him of his suffsrngs.
Cant, Dowlrg Of the Sixth Precinct, with several OF
b;suep. At once set to work to ascertain who CON-
mitted the deed, ard from some facts that came To
thsirkuowedge 10 the course of the Investigation they
we're led to suspec. woman named Margaret ster-
dan. She had been heard to say that Cornelius hsd
robbed her of IS cents aud that she would have his
life OF words TO that effect.
Search wss made for Margaret, but she co,li no
where be found in the city, aud Of her acqasnt-
ances bad any Knowledge Of her whereabouts. Tas
idea suggested i;selfto Captain Bowling q hunting
through the irtens tuce Offices and, sltsr about
twerty or more Of these Establishments had been ex-
amir.d, information was obtained that woman
snsw erirg MMgsrets description had been sent To
service on Monday morning, IN the faulty OF Mr..
Copcut at f0Ikyille.
Officers Jourdan and Gisgsn were dispatched
tbiber, but as they were known to Margaret, their
movements required great caution. After come de-
lay they gained access to Mr.. Co2cuts place, and to
Their surprise, found the accused busy engaged in
the kitchen. She bad engaged with Mr.. G. under
different name, and ii was ouly by eight descriptions
of her person that she was traced thithe, Margaret
was in medately srssted aud brought W .As city, ar
irving here last night at II o'clock, VIXEN she was
locked up in the Sixth Precinct StatioR-Aouse.
The accused confessed that she STABBED Cornelius,
and offered az justification that he robbed her n
seventy-fye cents She said she was asleep when
the robbery was committed, but that che knew Cor
reus robbed her, and she Wa determined to be even
with him.
Cornelius, with his dying breath, declared he did
not rob Margaret ara knew nothing CT the matter,
and did rot even know where she was.
The sccused seems to be woman CT strong passions,
great determination and has less than ordinary intel
lgence. She lie 81 years Of sge, end dou este ~
occupation.
An inquest will be held to-day at the Sixth Ward
Station House upon the body Of Cornelius.
