mysterious affair, there will doubtless be
many idle rumors afoat concerning Mrs
Grinder, who, it Is but Just to add. SOL
EMMY protests her innocence of the horIid
crime imputed to her.
ANOTHER HORRIBLE CASE.
A new development was brought TO
light last night, which will probably fix
Mrs. Grinders guilt hey opd all preadven-
ture \ young Irish girl named Miss
Jane r. Buchanan, had been for four years
in the employ of Mrs. kirkpatrick, a wild
dow lady, who keeps a boarding house on
the corner of Liberty street and Evan
alley, when she concluded that the labor
she vas expected to perform was too severe,
ard concluded to leave her situation and
90 to Pbiladel phia where her aunt resid>
ed. a female freud, hearing of her de-
termination, visited her, and endeayored
to prevail on her TO remain in the city,
stating that she knew of family Of three
persons, named Grinder, who were in
search Of girl. Miss Buchanan agreed
TO remain in case she could secure an easy
situation, when Mrs. Grinder called upon
her, and by representations, succeeded in
eliciling promise from her that she would
call at her house, ana If every thing was
satisfactory would remain. Accordingly
on Wednesday, Feb. a, 1864, Miss Blu
chanan had her trunk removed from Mrs.
kirkpatrick's house 10 the residence of a
friend, and Their went to Mrs. Grinders.
On Thursday she became suddenly i'll, and
on Friday was much worse. On Satur-
day MIS-. kirkpatrick and daughter visited
Miss Buchanan and profl'ered their servi-
ces to sit up with her, but Mrs. Grinder
said it was entirely unnecessary. She al.
so endeavored to convey the impression
into the minds of the visitors that Miss Bu-
chaDan's sickness was occasioned by too
close an intimacy with young man nam
ed Roberts, but as the ladies knew that
Miss Buchanan's character was irreproach>
abe, they declined listening to the insinu-
atoms. Shortly afterwards a young wom-
an who lived next door called upon Miss
b. and found her still in bed, Mrs Grind
er giving her delicacies, and bestowing
every attention which kindness could sug-
gest She rallied at Miss b. for being
sick so soon after going to her new place,
when the poor girl sail that her stomach
was burning up, and when she asked for
water it was refused. As the young WON
an was leaving the house, Mrs. Grinder
spoke unklndly of the girl, and reflected
strongly against Roberts. On Sunday
night, Mr.. Grinder called at the house
where Miss Buchanan had left her trunk,
and took it home with him. The trunk
contained quantity Of good clothing to
gether with torty-tiye or fifty dollars in
bills, and eleven dollars in gold.
Miss Buchanan continued tocrow worse,
and died .on the succeeding Monday
morning about o'clock. The suddeness
of her death awakened suspicion in the
minds of her friends that toul play had
been used, and this suspicion WAS strength
enec by Mrs. Grinder stating that she did
not know anything about either the trunk,
clothing or money. Coroner McCiung.
who was at that time officiating, was ap
prised of the occurrence, when lie visited
the honse and held al inques, on the
body, but as it appeared impossible foI
the jury to arrive at any definite conclu-
sion in regard to the death, they accept,
ed the hypothesis advanced by Mrs. Grind
