to Fosters insulting behavior. The jury to-day

dressed men several days prior to his disap-
pcarance, but neither Of these suspicious persons

Pevy had been drawn into disreputable ac-
quaintance, and left his hotel for debauch, the
result Of which is yet to be ascertained. He pos
sessed herculean strength, andwonld have fought
effectively against any ASSISTANTS. One OF the
acquaintances picked up BY Peyyy was man who
entered his name on the Brandeth House regis
ter as simply Mr. 0'Reilly. He hes also disap-
peared since the 18th. It is not true that any
important arrests have been made in this case.
Mrs. King, wife Of the murderer Of O'Neill,
applied to tho police, today, to prevent her
from compelling her to seek homo elsewhere.
Mrs. King states that she Ind been boarding
there two weeks, having made bargain to pay
by the month. She was advised to remain the
time agreed on, and to take legal measures
should she be- expelled; but, unless disturb
ance took place. the police could not interfere,
as the present dispute is only to be settled in
a civil suit. The opinion is less favorable to
Mrs. Kings story as an abused wife, since it has
become generally known that her photograph,
taken in Paris, was found in O'Neill's pocket
after be was shot.
