New York Items.
NEW THEORY OF THE GOODRICH
MURDER.
New YORK, August 2G.-Some one
who affects TO know, gives this story in
connection with the Goodrich murder,
an interest in which has been revived
by the recent action of the police au-
thorities: Kate Stoddard, when she
was known by true name of Betsy
King, went to school where there were
four young Spaniards, and one of them
was called Roscoe. She was attached
to the young man, and before she disap-
peared from her parents abode she was
regarded as his betrothed. She is said
to have renewed the acquaintance after
ward in New York, and this, too, at
time when Charles Goodrich appeared
upon the scene. This Roscoe is proba-
bly, the one to whom Lucette Myers
points as the one who killed Goodrich
for robbing him of the affections of Kate
Stoddard.

\. L. Lancaster, of Chicago, return
ing there for the benefit of his health,
arrived from Europe Saturday, having
with him thirty thousand dollars
worth of uncut diamonds, obtained in
the gOlG-fields Of South Africa. On his
landing at the pier, Customs Officer
Livingston took from Lancaster small
satchel containing the diamonds, and
declared them seized, alleging that Ian
caster denied having dutiable goods.
The latter gentleman, however, asserts
that he told the inspector that he had
diamonds, and accounted for their pos
session by saying that he dug some and
purchased others in South Africa. He
also claims that there is no duty on un-
cut diamonds, and denies that he made
any attempt at conceaiment, having
displayed them among his felloW-pas-
seDgers, and refused offers to purchase,
desiring them for his own use. Lancas-
ter goes to Washington to demand the
restoration of his property, and will
bear with him afbdavits Of late associate
travellers certifying TO the truthfulness
of his own statements.
