Since the discovery Of the Span
isr6's name, the detectives seem tC
have lost sight OF "a necessity o.

OF her present whereabouts. All o.
tbs ificis,s interested in the case rid
icu.e the idea thst this woman Stod.
dard ever knew or even hesrd oil
"Roscoe" until his name appeared in
print, therefore she can haye no pos
sible connection with Mrs. Meyers,
who does net even know her. Il
should be said here that Kate Stod-
nard IS Connected with the letters, il
she did not write them, matter oi
some doubt just at present, though
the detectives contradict themselves
In their statements in regard to the
matter.
1t will thus be seen tkat the Brook
lyn police are entirely st ses in their
investigations, and at apparently as
far srom solving tho the MYSTERY "a
they werethe day the murder was
discovered. Ten days have been use
lessiy wasted in following faint clues
and threads OF evidence which oulv
crossed each other to their utter be-
wilClerment. 'l '- o. f-...- {
So absurd has been the conduet
of the detectives, and so careless
have they been in keeping their Own
counsel, that certain facts hitherto
unpublished have become public
property. On Friday night, Police
Captain in this City was requested tc
secure the arrest of James Tighe,
sliss ''Pop" 1Tghe, belonging to q
gang OF despersdoes who habitually
frequent Smith avenue. Tighe's ar
rests was ordered on the charge that
he was implicated in the Goodrich
murder, wbh two other men, who were
believed to have attempted a burg
airy IN the house where Mr.. Good
.ich was killed. The information
lpon which the charge was made was
considered to be of q positive char
Ieter, but the accused cannot be found
D any of his old haunts. This sud-
len disappearance of Tighe renders
he case even more mysterious than
ver, though New York detectives
tate that they believe that tPop'' has
got wind'' of his ordered arrest, and |
ceordingly Jumped away" on gen.
rel principles.
Sill harping upon the theory OF
and failing to find Kate
'tOddard, they now seek q certain
iiss Markham, (not the actress,)
Fhose name has somehow got into
heir clutches. What connection this
roman Markham has with the ease
) OF course unknown, though it is
afe TO suppose that there is good
round for the search. These are
Il OF the "clues" at present in the
ands OF the authorities, at least they
re all that have leaked out.
The reader vii! thus perceive that
he energies of the police are being
rittered away by following after alb
urd clues, each new one confusing all
f the other. L. the person or per-
ons who committed the murder real
Y did sail for Europe on Saturday
he 22d inst, as is sometimes sur
lised, they will arrive on the other
ide of the Atlantic to morrow or
be next day. As it is believed that
'hiet Campbell has used the cable to |
-asn the police authorities in Europe,
re may hear OF an arrest in taat
uarter, though it is not to be expec-
ID, as the flight Of the assassin can
OF be traced. 1t seems too probable
lst the Goodrich murder will un-
fall into the category of
nciscovered crimes, unless, indeed,
more intelligent course OF inquiry |
