ARREST OF AN ALLEGED MURDERER-A CURIOUS
CAsE.-On Saturday night Capt. Bowling and officer
Rordan of the Sixth Ward arrested a German named
Richard Bavendanp, keeper of Five Points GROCERY,
at No. 45iBaxter street, on chargeo of murder The
only grounds for the arrest are the statements made to
Capt. Bowling on Saturday tya mostdegraded woman
named Mary O'Brien, and the fact that man was
found dead az she relates. The circumstances of the
mans death are as follows:
On the night of the 3Oth of July 1859 officer Sherlock
discovered an apparently intoxicated man in sitting
posture in the alley way of house Baxter street.
and he attempted 10 arouse him. Upon taking hold
of him the officer discovered that he was dead. The
body was removed 10 the Station-House, where Cor
oner Jackmsn held an inquest on the following day.
A post mortem examination Of the body was made by
DR. John Beach, when it was discovered that one of
the vessels Of the heart had been ruptured and the
jury rendered verdict to the effect that death the
result of said rupture. The name of the was as.
csrtaned to be Jusa GustaiLo, native Of Gibraltar.
II was supposed that the man died while intoxi.
Gated, and nothing further was thought Of the case
until Saturday, when Mary O'Brien informed Capt.
Bowling that Gustarino had been murdered by Baven
dam. She said that at the time Of the murder she oc-
cuped room In the house No. ~ Baxter street. aud
that Bavendann her landlord also lived In the house,
which was occupied chiefly by prostitutes. On che
night of the S0th of July, 1852 she encountered the
stranger in the street, and induced him to 90 TO her
room. While there he exhibited large sum of money
which be had in belt about his body. This money
excited her cupidisy, and she informed Bavendann Of
the fact, that he might assist her in robbing the
stranger She Gays that Bsvendann immediately pro-
esedsd to her room and, stiking Gustarino with
