The mystery envelopitg the atrocious murder
Of Mr.. Benjamin Nathan on Friday morning last, at
his residence 10 West Twenty street, seems TO
be to-day hr from satisfactory unravelng as on
the day Of the killing Popular excitement, however,
was very much increased. Tho various theories sd-
vaneed pointing TO the probable murderer were yes
terday discussed by everybody, and It must be ad.
mitted that the theory that the murderer in
mate OF the house was generally adopted. "One
man did the deed that man knew the house, and
that man was not professional burglar" was tue
verdict OF the public. The police are unwilling TO
accent this theory and Il is probably owing 70 this
TACT that no arrests have yet been made The pub.
lie mind Is ye, racked with fears that the assassin
may escape.
