NEW YORK,
The Goodrich Murder Case.


New YORK, August 26.-Some one
who affects to know, gives this story in
connection with the Goodrich murder,
the interest in which has been revived
by the recent action of the police au-
tborites: Kate Stoddsrd, when she
was known by her true name, Betty
King, went 10 school where there were
four young Spaniards, and one of them
was called Roscoe. She was attached
to the young man, and before she disc
appeared from her parents abode was
regarded as his betrothed. She is said
to have renewed this acquaintance
afterwards in New York, and this too
at the time when Charles Goodrich ap-
peared upon the scene. This Roscoe is
probably the one to whom Lucette
Meyers points as the one who killed
Goodrich for robbing hin OF the
affections OF Kate Stoddard.
n. L, Lancaster, of Chicago, who
was returning there for the benefit OF
his health, arrived from Europe on
Saturday, having with him thirty thou
sand dollar. worth Of diamonds, obtain
ed in the gold fields of South Africa.

Livingston, took from Lancaster
small satchel containing diamonds and
declared them seized, alleging that Lam
caster denied having dutiable goods,
The latter gentleman asserts, however,
that he told the inspector that he had
diamonds, and accounted for their pos
session by saying he had dug some and
purchased others in South Africa
He also claims there is no duty on un-
cut diamonds, and denies that he made
any attempt at concealment, having
displayed them among his fellow pas
sengers and refused offers OF purchase,
desiring them for his own use Lam
caster goes to Washington to demand
the restoration of his property, and will
bear with him affidavits OF his late as
sociate travellers, certifying to the
truthfulness OF his own statements.
