HISTORY OF THE CASE.
THE SINGULAR RIDDLE THAT HAS
BEEN SOLVED BY THE 1 SURANCE
DETECTIVES.

The facts of the Goss murder are
about these A married man named
Winfield S. GOss, who was in very
moderate circumstances, had life pol
icy in the Mutual, Continental, and
Kill LckerbOcker companies, of $1,000
each, and $4,000 III the Travellers, of
Hartford, making $4,000 in all. The
premiums on these policies amounted
to over S400 per annum, sum larger
than GOss's annual income would ap-
parently justify him in carrying. Du-
ring the winter of 1872 the insured
man was reported to be burned to
death in bis shop; but the insurance
companies, believing that all was not
right, refused to pay the policies. and
Mrs. Goss brought suit to recover
On the trial which ensued William 4.
Udderzook testified that he was inti-
mate in the Goss family, and on the
night of the disaster he had called
there with a friend and found GOss
fixing lamp, for which he wanted a
chimney. He and his friend went af
ter the chimney, leaving Goss in the
shop working at the lamp. While
they were gone he supposed the lamp
was upset and the building fired, for
WllCll llkG1 lCNullGu UuG SLlOp was III
flames, nearly destroyed, and Goss
missing. Goss was not heard of again,
but charred human remains were found
among the ruins, and he believed they
were those of Goss.
1t was shown on the trial that Goss
had had especially beautiful teeth
They were such fine teeth as to attract
the admiration of prominent dentist
of Baltimore, who made Overtures to
obtain a cast of them. The teeth in
the remains found were defective and
decayed. The widow recovered the
full amount of the policy against the
Mutual, of New York. The suits
against the other companies are still
pending.
During the trial in court on the part
of Mrs. GOss to recover the insurance
effected on her husbands life, broth
er of Goss came forward and presented
a watch, bearing the look of having
undergone some fiery ordeal, and
swOre that he found it in the sshes of
the burned building, and also testified
to its identity of being the one carried
by his deceased brother.
A Campbell Goss is a brother to VIII
liam S. Goss He was formerly q life
insurance agent, and it is believed that
it was he that conceived of the plan to
have his brothers life insured to
large amount III several companies,
to then proclaim his death by burning,
and thus secure the amounts of his
policies of insurance, which were to
have been divided among the parties
engaged In the conspiracy. He has
also been arrested and held for trial.
The chalred body was so mutilated
when discovered as to prevent identi-
fication ; but investigation since the
arrest of Udderz1 1ok has brought TO
light the supposition that it was res
urrected and taken to Baltimore to
serve the purposes of the Offenders

CUBA.

The beautiful and delightful Is
land of Cuba, seems to have been
intended to test the virtue and self
denial OF the people, who compose
the American republic. 1t is lit
tie larger than Virginia, and its
population is about the same in
numbers. Situated in the de-
ightful portion Of the torid zone
it has altitude sufficient to make it
of the most delightful and healthy
temperature. Such is its shape
that no portion of its surface is be-
yond the reach of the sea breeze,
and its position upon the maps
would cause the prondest and most
cultivated races OF the earth to Gov
ct the power it must bestow. Its
productions are the richest and
rarest Ofthe world, and he who owns
a "plantation" upon t,can with but
little exertion, win all the comforts
Of wealth. In tie hands of a pow
erful nation, its harbUrs would
shelter naval torce, which could
sweep the Gulf, and perpetually
menace tke cotton States of oul
Union. 1t could close all the Eas.
tern outlet TO Mexico, and lock to
all the world, both the Istmus and
the Mississippi. Possessed by the
L. S., it would be to us the key tC
all the western hemisphere, for nc
power at its extremities could long
withstand the aggregated power we
should have at its centre. We
want it becacause it is the Constan,
tnople Of the Western World
We want it because it is the rich
est and the loveliest of the gardens
Of the world. But we have nc
right to take it for these reasons
The people of Cuba have a right
to take it, and we are in favor Of
at one recognising that right.
