The Goodrich Murder--Couuradic tory
Statement
NEW YORK, March 31,-Tbe morning jour-
nails repeat and enlarge upon the statement
made by a Sunday paper that Roscoe, the jeal-
GUS Spanish lover Of Mrs Meyers. murdered
Goodrich. The Brooklyn Chief of Police,
Campbell, says it is time that search was made
for Roscoe in Baltimore, though h. cannot say
whether yesterdays published story be true OF
false. He adds that Mrs. Meyers, who is now
detained as witness, told him that Roscoe was
the murderer and that he had fled to Baltimore.
She gives full descript on of him and other
important information which is withheld for
the present. She had known Goodrich but for
two months and declined to state where she had
lived before going to Stanton street.
The police are searching for rough named
Pop Tight, believed to know something of
Guodrich's murder.
Thullow Weed and quite a number of promi-
nent people have sent money to aid the father
and mother of Mrs. Meyer.
F,om certain admissions made by the moth
er, it is thought that she really has information
obtained from her daughter. of a circumstan-
tial character relative to the murder which
will prove important.
District Attorney Britton is reported by the
Herald this morning to have said that the story
of the participation in the murder by Lucette
Meyers is all a fiction; that she was not pres
ent at the murder, aud really knows nothing of
the murder, but still her testimony will prove
valuable.
