Kate VaIwor,h-Her History.

NEy YORK, July 15.-GTeat interest is
8 i'll manifested in the case of Lizzie Lloyd
King, alias Kate Stoddari, charged with
the killing Of Charl@s Goodrich in Brooklyn.
Crowds flock to tie Jail in Raymond street
to see her, but very few succeed in dong
so. Sae il as dumb as an oyster on the
subisc; of The murder, she will not talk ex-
cept 20 counsel, and for him she is writing
full statement of her case and her history,
from her childhood up TO the present time
She is now twenty-sN years OF age, was
born in Plymouth, Mass, and stsid tn
unti she was eighteen years Of age. Her
fathers name is Isaac King. He is still alive
and carries Oh the trade Of q mason. SIZE
has one sister named Augusta, unmarried
and living at Walbridge, Mass. The family
are in comfortable circumstances.
So far as the tragedyi5 concerned, while in
moderately good spirits, she does not take .
very sangune view Of the issue. The State
phi. on seems to hang over her mind like an
immense shadow. Among her other pecu-
isrities she is pretending to be very relig-
ions, and Is reading the Bible and Episco-
pal prayer-book constantly. It is said that
She even had the temerity to attend the
funeral of her victim, and that she went up
near the heaise and touched the c. tin.
The police sre still on the lookout for ROs-
coe. Kate St, ddsrd declares she does not
know him, while the woman Armstrong is
positive she saT them together. One Of t. e
Jurors limited yesterday that there Is a good
deal more In this Goodrich tragedy than has
ye. been given 10 the public, and added that
there is sn important link still wanting.
The Effect of Calling Bad Names

Tine Goodrich Mystery.
There is still much mystery surrounding
the Goodrich murder. The police are do
| ing th ir best to secure Roscoe. Full reli-
ance is not placed in the story Of Lizzie
King, that she had 10 accompiice, never
| knew Roscoe, and don't believe there is any
such man. She explains the fact of four
chambers of the pistol found near Good
rich's body being discharged, that three
shots in G0odrich's head we're from her
| pistol; after he was dead she took his pis-
| tol and fred four shots down the cellar.
Miss Palm, the betrOthed of Goodrich, re-
manned with Lizzie King until late last
night. Her object was not ascertained.
Ra.siHg the wind.
at a meeting of the Finance Committee
of the Board OF Aldermen to-day, it was
| proposed to raise a consolidated loan Of
| one hundred and fifty million dollars at five
| per cent, wherewith 10 cancel the present
city debt, being forty millions in excess Of
he present debt. Leading city fuauciers
DO not approve the scheme.
