In the case OF the unknown man who was murdered
between ten and eleven O'Clock on Monday nivht
in front OF Schwartz's grocery store, corner of
Greene and Spring streets, yet yesterday some
few additional facts were developed. Drs Marsh
and Cushman made an autopsy at the Eighth ward
station house, and found that death resulted from
congestion OF the brain, caused by blow OF some
kind indicted upon the back OF the head.
Captain Williams and his officers were very active
yesterday working up the case as IL is believed
that there are other parties than Meyers the bar
keeper for Schwartz, implicated. The witnesses
state that after he was beaten by Meyers who is IN
custody. two men, who were accompanied by a
woman, attacked him, Knocked him down and
kicked him until he died. These men are believed
to be Victor Post ana Jerry Fuller, two deck hands
who hover about the pier OF the Long Branch boats.
Charles Kahn, OF II Lispenard street, who was

Anna Mcclure, OF S2 Spring street, who claims to
be married to nephew ofMayOr Havemeyer, stated
to the HERALD reporter that she saw two un-
known men, who were with girl strike the
man and knock him down upon the sidewalk, from
which he never arose. Her testimony confirms that
of Kuhn in nearly every particular. Other wit
nesSes TO the aray. 1T IL reported, will be obtained
by Captain Williams and his officers. From what
Is already known, 1t seems quite evident that the
deceased was badly beaten after he had escaped
from Meyers hands, by the above named parties,
who, 1t seems, were not In cousiOn with Meyers,
and it will he very difficult TO decide as to wnich OF
the attacks caused death.
Up to the present writing the body has not been
identified but persons state that they have ire
quently seen him about the North River piers, in
the Fifth ward, where it is believed he was en-
plOyed as an engineer or fireman. In personal
appearance he was about five ieet six or seven
inches with brown hair, heavy mustache and
gOatee and gray eyes, and was dressed in gray
undershlrt, white Overshrt, blue flannel panta-
had on coat. The only articles found upon his
person were a roam colored morocco pOcketb0ok,
In which were two gold shirt studs, on which was
engraved master masOn's emblem.
Meyers was committed to the TOmbs by order of
Coroner Young, and the witnesses were sent to the
House OF Detention. The opinion OF Captain Will
llams still Is that the woman, Ann Mcclure, knows
more about the murder than she has yet divulged.
The inquest will be held in a day or two, the
Coroner desiring to give Captain Williams time to
work up the case.
