The Goodrich murder Shot by q
woman?
NEW YORK, March 26.-AmOng the po-
lice authorities the belief is strengthened
that Goodrich was murdered by a woman.
One of the women who are supposed to be
connected with the case proves TO be re-
spectacle girl, whose relations to the de-
ceased were only those Of employee. There
was nothing wrong whatever between them.
No clue has been had Of the other woman.
She had been with Goodrich three or four
months before the murder, but now no one
seems able to account Tor her, or even give
her name. The gentleman ID company
with Goodrich on the night OF the murder
has not been heard of since the night after
the murder. 1t is suspected that this man
and the missing woman are together, and
that both have gone to Europe.
LATER.-The name of the woman who
in all probability shot Charles Goodrich,
has been discovered, out is withheld from
publication. She lived in the third house
from hiLl, was his mistress, had given birth
to a Child and was deceived Dy him. She
was in BROOKLYN the night before the dis
coyery OF the murder, and not since seen.
A third lady is now said to be mixed up
in this mysterious affair, who is known In
literary circles in New York, but whose
name is also suppressed. VIM. Goodrich
offers $500 reward for the arrest Of the
murderer of his brother, payable upon con-
victiop. The father Of the murdered man
was, to-day, awarded letters Of administra-
ton upon the estate.
A Postal Predicanent.
There is considerable stir at the pos''
office over the expected withdrawal by the
railroad companies of postal cards from the
service on the first Of April. It is thought
the force of clerks will be utterly unable TO
attend TO the great food of mail matter
which, in that event, will pour in, and it is
estimated that four days will be required
for the delivery of letters which now reach
their destination in fifteen hours. The de-
mand Of the railroad companies is for $500
per mile, instead of 1915, low paid them.
1t is rumored that if the companies persist
in their determination, the Postmaster Gen.
eral will endeavor to procure the passage OF
a law giving the Department special power
/ over railroads.
