NEW YORK. Jan. 12.-rhe last statement is
that Bennett and his whole party are en- route
to Europe, Bennett being at the residence of

who watched the whole parry states that after
they went into the glen, where the duel is al
legged to have been fought, no sound of shots
was heard, and he does not believe sny duel
was fought.
The Tribune is responsible for the following:
There was a r1mor yesterday that Bennett
and Miss May bad been married and sailed for
europe from Philadelphia. 1t is learned from
that city that a gentleman whose appearance
was like that of Mr.. Bennett went hastily on
board the steamer Illinois, just before its de.
parture, with lady closely yelled, and both
went Immediately to their Staterooms, avoiding
all observation. Mr.. Benefits name, however,
did not appear on the passenger list. Several
friends of the duelists have left the city for fear
of arrest.
The grand jury made another turtle attempt
to-day to obtain some information in reference
to the recent Bennett-May duel. 1t is now re-
ported that the gentleman supposed to have
been Mr.. Bennett, who left Philadelphia in the
Illinois yesterday, was j. 81. Cundell, mem
