Sheriff Gill took the last letter given to
Undertook and read it 10 him in his cell.
The prisoner says be has no friend of that
name that he is aware of.
Friday two detectives representing the
Continental and Travellers InsursEcs Conn
lies visited Penningtonville for the purpose
of ferreticg cut additional matters In con-
nection with the murder. They interviewed
Rho2ds AID his wife, Gamer Moore and
other parties, and examined the remains of
the murdered victim.
The resHls was that the examination re-
suited Ill an almost to'al Identification of
the body as being that of Cess. The color
of hair is exact, the breadth of chest is also
correct, ard the teeth were identified from
one or more plugs which they knew Goss'
TO obtain.
Again, theyshad with toe N photographs of
Gass, which further proved identity. In
one Of the pictures prominent feature was
a large seal ring worn on the third finger of
the left hand, and bears every resemblance
20 the one found in the Hac on in which I'd
derzoOk and the stranger rode from Jen-
nervie. Its learned It was tried upon the
finger of the dead man and fl it nicely.
This ring, it VIII also be remembered, was
identified By boy as being the one seen
by him on the finger Of the stranger at the
hotel at Jenrerville.
ANOTHER ARREST.
1t has been understood that the Cont
mental Life Insurance Company of New
York, and the Travellers Accident and Life
Insurance Company Of Hartford, have had
detectives at work in Chester county,
Pennsylvania, since the arrest of William
Z. Undertook on the charge Of having
murdered an unknown man between Jen-
IL. 10 ha1
stated by those who have seen it that the
murdered man looks like William S. Goss,
who was very generally supposed to have
been burned in his laboratory, nesr the !
York road, on the night of the I'd day OF |
February, 1872.
From information from Pennsylvania, |
Augustus r. Carter went before Justice |
Hsgerty and swore out warrant for the |
arrest of A. Campbell Goss, brother Of |
William S. GOss, charging him with cOnspir- |
ing with William E. Undertook and VIII |
liam S. Goss to defraud the Mutual Lite, |
Continental Life and KnickerbOcker Lite
Insurance Companies OF New York, and |
the Travellers Accident and Life Insurance |
Company of Hartford, Of $4,000. The
warrant was placed in the hands of Deputy /
Marshal Frey and Detective Pointer, who
yesterday afternoon took A. Campbell Goss
into custody.
A hearing was had in the case yesterday
evening, when bail to the amount of $25, COO
was required, and in default A. Campbell
Goss was committed to jail 10 await the ac-
ton of the Grand Jury. a. Z. Carter is
the agent in this city for one of the compa-
MES interested in the insurance on William
S. Goss' life. There is still a mystery sur
the whole affair, but that will
probably be dispelled by the proceedings of
the officials of Chester county.
