An Importe at Witness in the Stokes
Case,

Interest is once more created In the case
Of Stokes, by the approach of the time set
for his third trial for the murder of James
Fisk, Jr, and this interest is intensified
by the recent arrest Of Il lady who, it is
claimed will be an important witness
against the prisoner, and who has man
aged to keep out of the way of the officers
since the shooting of Fisk, nearly two
Years ago This lady is Mrs Minnie j.
Benton, widow of Gen. Benton, of the
Confederate Army, and the testimony
which, it is asserted, it is in her power to
give WILL it is supposed, enable the Dis
trict Attorney to secure a verdict against
Stokes when he is brought up for trial
Mrs. Benton was not witness on the pre-
vious trials Of Stokes, and her testimony
will, therefore, be new, and, although of a
very startling nature, will merely confirm
certain facts which have been known to
District Attorney Phelps for several months
past. aud for verifcation of which he has
sought in vain until now. The police
authorities claim to be ignorant of the
na,ure of the testimony which Mrs Benton
is expected to give, but they are satisfied
tina, it is of Il highly important character,
rs was shown by the anxiety manifested
ness.
From other sources it was learned that
Ms. Benton was a guest at the Grand
Central Hotel on Jan. 6, 1872, when Fisk
was shot by Stokes. She witnessed the
meeting between Fisk and Stokes on the
narrow stat way of the ladies' entrance,
saw Stokes shoot Fisk, and picked up the
smoking revolver when it was flung away
by Stokes in his flight from the scene of
the tragedy, and placed it on the lounge
in the ladies' parlor, where it was subse-
quently found She disappeared from the
hotel Il few days after the shooting, and
all efforts to discover her whereabouts
proved futile until within the past few
days
1t is stated that over 5000 were spent
by the criminal authorities in their efforts
to find this important witness. Finally,
about week ago, District Attorney Phelps
learned that the much-sought-tor witness
was in New York. A bench warrant was
Immediately issued for her arrest, and De-
tectives Tully and Dixie worked untiringly
day and night to discover her whereabouts,
and finally on Monday night they succeed
ed in finding her abode. She was living
with a gentleman who is represented as
her brother The officers, proffting by
their experience in former attempt to
capture Mrs. Benton, hired room in an
opposite house the window of which COM
manded an uninterrupted view of the lady's
residence. After six days careful watch
ing they were rewarded by seeing Mrs.
Benton in her apartments, and Immediately
entered the house, where she was found
in company with her brother. un learn
ing the business OF the detectives she did
not appear taken by surprise, but stated
that she was aware that she was sought
after, and laughed merrily on being told

She is said TO have been well acquainted

stances which eliminated in the death Of
Fisk al the Grand Central liolel The
| lady tells several stories of what She
knows about the shooting, but is very
guarded when speaking on the subject
From her corvef sation, however, there is
no doubt thai she is in osse sion of most
important evidence bearing On tha murder.
Shortly before the last trial of Stokes.
Mrs. Benton was informed by her servant
that some men had been inqui1'ino about
her, and the lady Immediately SUSPECTED
that She was wanted on the Stokes ease.
She thereupon secluded herself in her
apartments for Two weeks, and at the end
of that time, with the assistance OF her
neiohbors, cluded the vigilance oil the.
police She procured a ladder, and on 1
certain night scaled the fence in the rear
