New-York daily tribune., 1861-11-11

In the upper edgeOf The lower iOOe OF he tuuS' hhb
curious fragment had been curled into perfect
spiral and wss about I, or Two inches long. The
fact that il had peeled Oil in this manner must prove
that the knife lad bcen ground to very fine edge,
and leuco it must have been deliberately prepared
by the murderer for Ais victim. In tho cavity Of the
chest were about three quarts OF blood; but little
psssed out through the wound, because the knife-
blade had made SO thin cut, and Embury bad fallen
on his back 40 as TO cectuay stop the oriice. When
found, the body was composed as if in sleep. The
cape-coat was butoned the chin the collar turned
up ana confined across the neck by little strap.
His satchel ard umbrella were lying at his right
side lis hat was on his head, his gold watch, sleeve
buttons, studs, and pocket-book were undisturbed,
and his shr;-bosom was as unrumplei and dry as if
he had just left his dres;ing-room. He lay with his
head to tue SOUTH Que Lee 10 little ditch by the
roadside. In the right side Of his oOat-cape was
slit which correspouded with the cut in the back;
but as there other cut in 'front.' this part of
the cape must have blown over his shoulder and been
pierced by tue knife rs the blow was struck. This
and the peculiar nature of the wound would seem TO
prove that he facing the storm and hence must
have been going toward the northeast but as this
would take him toward and not away from Meyers
door, il is not easy to account for tue discrepancy,
unless We suppose that he had gone around the road
and over the bridge, which s hardly probable, in
view of the terrible storm which was raging, and
which would make him choose the ehort cut that
night Of all Others.
The evidence before the Jury, which we are eDa-
bled to give throws little light OH the tragedy. Tie
evidence Of Mr.. Parmcntier of Poughkecpse would
seem to prove that Embury bad couyersed with bin
in the train, been watched by u stranger, left the
car by the front door, passed TO the right toward
Meyers Hotel, and been followed by this ill-iavored
stranger. Whether this gives any clue to the mur.
derer is extremely doubtful, but that Enbury's per-
sonaty is proved seems certain, since Parmentier
selected the portrait Of Embury out of group OF
twelve, that Of the young man with whom be con-
versed. Whether the man whose strange actions on
the railroad track, at Cold Spring, at o'clock that
night, were 80 closely scrutinized by Byron YOU
mans, the watchman, has any connection with the
murder the detective will in time be able TO tell.
Mr.. Enburys family offer reward of 81 COO for
the discovery of the murderer the citizens Of Fish
kill offer $500 additional so that these, with the 800
which will be offered by the Governor will be suGi.
cient 20 incite detectives and citizens to vigIani
search for the asssssin. The following testimony
was elected at the
