and that insanity was brought on by disap- |
pointment in love. After her arrest the
first person she spoke to in official way
was Chief of Police Campbell. He asked
her where she lived, but she declined to
tell She never for a moment denied her
identity nor, but for few moments, did
she talk of innocence. She said frankly
love, determined that he should never be-
long to another woman, but by some curl
Gus reasoning, she seemed to fear the dis
covcry of some of his property in her pos
session. ''If," said she, "you find out my
place of residence
YOU'LL FIND EVIDENCE ENOUGH TO HANG
ME-"
The chief reasoned with her upon the
absurdity of concealing her boarding house
and reasoned to such a purpose that she
finally agreed to take him to the house on
condition that she should be allowed to en-
ter the room two minutes ahead of him.
This lie declined to do, as he, from her
tone of mind, thought suicide likely to be
part of her purpose, and that he was not
mistaken in this respect the story told yes
tcrday and the discovery of the revolver in
her room proves In less than two min
utes she could have blown out her brains.
Seeing that he would not make the CON
cession, she once more assumed an air of
reticence. The chief by making tbs prom
Use asked and failing to fulfill it undoubt-
cdly could have been taken to the house,
but with rare honor, he scorned to practice
such a mean deed.
WHAT HER CApTuRER SAYS.
Miss Mary Handley, who has been in
search of and finally captured Kate Stod-
dard Thursday, stated she formerly lived
in the same house with Kate, several
months prior to the murder, and was a
room mate with her in the Working Wo-
mems Home, in New York. Kate left the
home about six months ago to go to Brook
Ign, to live with Goodrich. She was pleas
ant, eccentric and impulsive, and in some
things very peculiar.
A PLEASANT ROOM MATE.
Miss Handley states: 81 have known
her to get out of bed at midnight uncloth-
ed, and walking back and forth through
the darkened room, play upon an old ac
cordeon for about an hour at a time. This
she did repeatedly, and that was only one
of many freaks. She was wholly crea-
furo of ,NnoIo ca for 90 ta,,poro,nort xvnnt
Sometimes in the widest hilarity, at others
dull and Indifferent, and at other times in
the depths of despair, prepared to commit
suicide. That was before she had any
trouble with Goodrich. Miss Handley
stated that after trying all the straw work
ing shops to find Kate in vain, she ascer-
tanned from eastern sources that Kate was
corresponding, and the post offices up
town were watched, and it was by this
means she finally came in contact with and
caused Hates arrest.
THE REAL NAME OF TIE MURDEREss
is Lizzie NJ. King of Marlborough, Mass
CA ,Middleboro, Mass. special to the Boston
Herald denies the previous report that she
went from that place, saying no such per-
son is known to any one there.
THE INQUEST
Saturday was held in the courthouse in
Brooklyn, and there was an immense
crowd on hand to get good view of the
woman. A reporter who saw her in the
coroners office says she is simple and Or
binary looking blonde, with features a
trife sharp, high forehead and prominent
cheek bones. She was pressed in light
silk shirt with ruffled trimmings, had a
white illusion waist, coral bracelets and
pretty silk umbrella pendant from gilt
clasped leathern belt which encircled her
waist. An immense locket hung on her
breast by chain which went around her
neck and on her head she had a jaunty
light straw hat. She held an ivory fan
in her hand, blue ribbon running through
the interstices, and
LAUGHED AND TALKED
to Mr.. Dewitt, her counsel, as if she had
Just been introduced to him at a family
party, rather than as client to counsel. She
conversed with the commissioners in sub
dued tone of voice for several minutes,
alternately smiling and appearing on the
point of tears. 1t took but few moments
to create among the bystanders the i'm
preston that they were looking upon
an insane woman, and this woman
undoubtedly is insane, if the ordinary
indications of lunacy are to be relied on
She sat there for full half hour, smiling
and chatting pleasantly, a strange wild
light beaming from her eyes all the while.
II was impossible to converse with her, al
though she talked sensible enough, with
out being almost absolutely convinced of
her insanity. SIS that the pistol that you
used ?" said Capt. Mcconnell, holding up
before her eyes revolver with six barrels,
three of the chambers loaded. | think it
is" she answered again smiling, as if the
captain had perpetratcd some pleasantly.
Then she looked eagerly upon the weapon.
"Let me see it," she said, peculiar ex-
preston fitting across her features her
clear, blue eyes sparkling with strange
light as she put out her hand. II guess
had better keep it," answered the captain
putting the revolver in his pocket as he
spoke. He afterward informed the wri-
ter he believes she would have tried to use
the revolver if it had been given her while
she sat there. Another female entered the
court house, a tall woman with features
carefully concealed by dark brown veil In
few moments it was whispered about that
this mysterious woman was none other than
LUCETTE MYERS,
the female first arrested on suspicion of
having murdered Goodrich. She was ac-
cOmpanied by detective Folk and given a
seat in the cOrOncrs office This was the
woman Myers, and the crowd, unable to
get glimpse at the murderess, found salts
faction in staring at Lucctte. One could
not move about in the crowd which hung
around the entrance to the coroncr's office
without noticing the general sympathy
felt for the prisoner On every side the
wish was openly expressed that she might
not suffer the extreme penalty of the law,
and the report brought from the inside con-
corning her sanity gave still greater
strength to the feeling of sympathy arous-
ed in her behalf. Lucette Myers evidently
