II will be seen that the withdrawal Of
the suits is not absolute, but that lheir
further prosecution is dependent on GER
tain contingencies. These contingencies,
I il will be- readily understood, are the de-
yrlCpcments that may he n lde on the
4 Uddcrz1nk trial, which takes place at
West Chester, next month Mrs. Goss
considers that in the present divided and
excited state of the community regarding
the destL of her husband, that il is better
to abandon further legal proceedings for
the disc every Of the insurance money in
Voyed Il least for the present. The orders
agresably to her request were lied OH
Thursday last.
lu connection with the above we may
add the following in relation tO tue muir
der OF Goss;
On Tuesday last Charles II. Penny
packer, ESQ, left West Chcstergnd visited
Newark y. j., AT which place be arrived
and passed Wednesday and part OF Thurs
day in sitting for evidence concerning
GOss While boarding in the house OF Mrs.
Tolmbs,
MIR. 2. states that he found lager beer
saloon In which GOss was in the habit OF
passing a portion OF lis time in imbhing
buck beer" On one SATURDAY night in
particular, a general beer ovation was
held, ia which Co.'s figured nspicuou-ly

Nr. Pennypacker says that In Bryn
Mawr, Delaware county, and New York
there Is not yet enough Of valuable un,
developed evidence TO occupy a person
one weeks time TO uuraye. and to thi.
duty he proposes to d,vote his energies
beginning some day next week.
While Mr.. r. was in the city Of Newark,
District Attorney Wagner also visited
that city on a similar erraud.
IL is the opinion Of many that Messrs
Whitney & johns are exerting their Legal
, energies more towards the rescuing Of J.
Campbell GOss than in any other dirCc
ton, and while they are thus maneuvrina
to gain his release, considerable evidence
Is being developed fastening him To a
{ greater extent as leading atar in the
great n-urance-mlrder drama.
Although matters in the case have for a
few weeks past worn quiet look, vet
busy detectives and lawyers are ferreting
out new evidence, which will at the
coming trial 60 TO perfect the chain of
