suspected of murdering Goodrich, has been

nation.
LATER-The energies of the police OF
Brooklyn are still turned toward the cap
ture of the mysterious woman who is sup
posed TO have murdered Goodrich. She
was from New England, and resided some
time in Boston. Several other letters are
now in the possession OF the police, and
show that she was fairly educated. The
last letter was dated Feb. q, and is re-
proachful in tone, as though some trouble
had originated betEeen Goodrich and the
writer. The letters are under the general
head of New York, and are signed with so
assumed name. Nothing is yet discovered
to indicate the direction of her flight. The
police conceal her name.
