THE RIVER MURDER.

(OtO06f0
Den Refuses 10 Tell the Jury Who were
There-rhc Woman ssI.izzy" Still at Large.
The excitement attending the investigation or TINS
remarkable case has vastly increased IN hoboKen'
not so much through the desire to trace up the sup
posed murderers Of Withers as through the iear
that those whO In the house OF ill-iame at Union
Hill paved the way to his destruction, snaN %
known to the public during the inquest IL was
stated in yesterday HERALD that there might Do
chance Of the public learning from the witnesses
ut the inquest the names OF those VINO were
In the vile haunt at Union Hl while Witners WAS
there, but /. seems from wnat happened last even
Ing that those expectations are to be bahlcd Tor the
present and that too with the consent OF the Coroner
When "Joe,n the dame that keeps the den, was
placed the witness stand.
SHE POSITIVELY REFUSED TO TELL
what persons were present when withers was
IN her house, Now, II withers was murdered
by any one he was murdered by some person
VINO knew hin to be at the house OF ili-iane,,and
was there at some time or other. 1t seems strange
tnen that all those who were there should not
be known, though Coroner volhardt certainly
knows best wnat questions are pertinent and what
not. Brown, the general utility man In the asylum
..up the roadn was also very cautious. IL Is need
less to state that some OF the politicians have taken
great prccaution against the disclosure OF their
names ar the inquisition. The inquest was held nc
Sremers, 6i Washington street. All the jurors are
respectable citizens, and Mr.. stake, very inteli-
gent man, was appointed foreman. In the room
was visible lew OF the gang that lrequented
the house kept by Josephine Carrier. alias ''Joe.n
she was tho nrst witness sworn. Sne seemed. about

more honorable sphere. She, however, was caious
