Goodrich Mystery solved,
The Goodrich murder mystery is solved.
The police have found in the trunks of
Kate Staddart now under arrest at her
boarding house, Goodrich's rings, seals,
pocket-book and money, which are, no
doubt, the same he had in his possession
at the time he was murdered. The pistol,
which, had three chambers empty and
which it, is supposed, she used to commit
the muder, was also found in her trunk.
Kate's real name is supposed to be Lizzie
King.

The Goodrich MUrderesS.
1t was reported in Brooklyn last evening
that Kate Stoddart, who is still confined
in the captains room at the police station
had attempted to commit suicide. There
is woman in the room with her to see
that she does not carry out her threat but
it is feared that even this precaution will
not be sufficient to save her life if she is
kept confined there much longer. She
was very restless last evening after hearing
that the police had captured her trunk and
obtained possession of the Goodrich prop
erty. Once or twice she begged to be left
alone in the room, but her request was not
granted. Some say that she is already in
sane and does not really know what she is
talking about; others that she is only
feigning insanity under advice of counsel
who have long since been retained to de-
fend her.
