over the pruverbal Inconvenience of u labored in
ruducli0n, wherein the weather bears no small
share, announce that The Rogers murder is
still II mystery. With police force numbering
5000 men with dctachmcnts Of detectives claim

animation, instead of being conducted by the Dis

tent. The case stands MS II did ut first. There

still ut large AS told you before, the general
impression is, that the murder will always remain
