particulars, under date Of June 70:
The mystery surrounding the murder Of
Mrs. Hull on Tuesday night. remains un-
solved. The crime is likened to the Nathan
murder, in that the police will be kept in
the dark, or that, through extreme influence,
political, social, and monetary, the actual
murderer may be permitted to die what is
called natural death. The police auth
are thoroughly puzzled. They declare it the
most bewildering case that ever agitated the
police bosom of New York, and no case in
many years has occasioned so much anxiety
and SO completely demoralized the detec-
tive force as this. Supt. Walling has gone
to work. with a vim, and has scarcely rested
since the discovery of the crime. It was
rumored that the murder was done by wo-
msn, but by whom, and the object. was not
stated. All night Wednesday the officers re-
manned in the house at; West Forty second
street, and watched DR.. Hull. the aged hus-
band of the murdered woman. This noon
Capt. Williams removed his officers. While
suspicious of the Doctor are entertained,
still there is nothing to Justify his detention
or arrest. The funeral services will take
pace tomorrow morning. The body will
be taken to Plainfeld, n. J. The funeral
services will be strictly private. DR.. Hull
has for years depended upon his wife for a
living. An intimate friend says he is weak
and childish, and would not harm bird.
He loved his wife dearly, and is shocked be-
yond expression by the publicity given to
the rumors that he was in any way respon-
sible for her death. DR.. Hull was educated
in this country, and became physician of
note in London, sought after in court circles.
He returned to America, in consequence of
his wife's illness, and intended to. go back
again to England. He was offered large
sum to 90 back, but decided to remain here.
There was over 900 worth of silver in the
room adjoining that in which Mrs. Hull was
murdered, and it was not disturbed by the
robber, if a robber had anything to do with
the murder. The police are positive thatno
professional burglars committed the murder,
as it had nothing of the professional
style about it. The crime is en-
shrouded in mystery, and will probably
take its place with the half-dozen others
that remain the inexplicable crimes of the
metropolis. Public excitement over this
murder has increased to-day, and the gen
eral insecurity under the present poli9e sys-
tenn is recognized. The 'sfnest policein the
world' needs reconstruction. g ~ IT
The police attach more than little i'm
portance to the discovery that the bandage
around Mrs. Hull's head was not tied in a
knot, but the ends were tucked under in the
style peculiar to surgeons in bandaging
wounds. Burglars would scarcely have done
4 the work SO systematically. Owing to facts
like this, and the well-nigh impossibility OF
1ientering the house from without if it was
closed in the usual manner, the police, still
keep q surveillance over DR.. Hull, though he
4 is not under arrest, nor troubled by having
the police IN the house. The plumbers have
been looking in the pipes and drains for the
missing jewelry on the theory that the rob.
berry part was onlya a blind. The search &C
far is without result. aea Iaeg lsal is
