THE GOODRICH CASE SOLVED.
The ITurderess Arrested.
New YORK, July II.

his dwelling in Degraw street, has at last
been solved.
At II o'clock this morning the Brooklyn
police commissioners, Messrs. Jourdan and
Briggs, announced to the reporters that they
had nothing further to conceal in regard to
the Goodrich case, that they had the muir
deress, beyond doubt, and were prepared
to give all the facts in their possession to
the press.
They then sent for editors of local jour
nails and Commissioner Jourdan made the
following statement
Ever since the murder of Chaa Goodrich
the police have been making certain efforts
to obtain a clue to the guilty parties and
they have at all times done the best they
could. Up to the present date they have
never relaxed for one moment and their
search for the person who was believed to
have committed the crime Brooklyn has
been secured, as well as Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and other cities and every clew which
could be obtained has been worked up from
the very start.
They felt compelled from the nature of
the case, to leave nothing undone. We
employed secret agents of both sexes,
which is sometimes necessary in cases of
this kind. | have had photograph of
Kate Stoddard in my possession and if you
should see this woman you would see how
difficult it would be to recognize her from
that picture. (The commissioner then ex-
hibited the original picture which was
taken on glass, and from which he had
photograph card taken.)
This does not look at all like woman
now this picture indicates a woman in
ileshy condition, and she now is almost
skeleton. and that makes marked differ
ence in her appearance. think the papers
have been very unfair in regard to the po-
lice There was of course no human eye
that witnessed this murder but that of the
person who committed it, and she was COM
paratively unknown; the only person who
knew her 10y sight was sick in bed for six
weeks after the murder was committed
But to get down to the details
This woman was met by our agent Mary
Handley in tho street last Tuesday after
noon in the neighborhood of Fulton Ferry.
She met her by accident and as soon as she
saw her she was convinced, notwthstand-
ing her altered appearance, she was Kate
Stoddard. She followed her and gave her
precinct, who on being told who she was,
took her to the station house. 1t was our
inteneion tho have her brought directly
here when she was arrested.
1t then became important to know where
she lived, but she refused to give any in
formation concerning herself. We wished
to know where her effects We're, by de-
vice of sending policeman to search the
house, and inquiring if the woman wa:
missing, the discovery of her late residence
was made on High street, between Bridge
and Jay streets, where she has been living
since the middle of April last. The lady

nize her. Before this lady saw her fac
she recognized her by her voice. She sait
"Thats enough that's the woman Sh
then saw her through crack of the door
and said, Yes, that is She"
, The police then went to the house
searched her trunks and there discovers
the property of Charles Goodrich. Their

money which is his no doubt When sh
saw him determined to discard her sh
worked herself up to murder him. Sh
had one of his revolvcrs, but not the on
which the detectives found lying at til
house beside the corpse, and while Coco

These were fatal wounds, which the POI
