His name is Chastinc Cox, cope
colorcd negro who was employed for ;
year and Il half in the ncighborhood o
the Hull residence. lie was traced b,
means of Il set Of cameo jewclry be
longing to Mrs. Hull, which he dis
posed of at q pawnbrokcr's shop il
this city. From the pawnbrokcr tlt
officers obtained description of tht

person.
lie admits his guilt, and saws Inc
lived a long time opposite Mrs. Hulrs
house in New York that OH the night
Of the robbery he entered through the
lower window and went up stairs to
Mrs. 1Iull's room for the purpose of
robbery, but did not intend to kill
her.
The negro appears calm and indiilcr-
cnt, and gives the details of his crime
without hesitation. IIc SAYS he had u
key for the door of the Hull House,
but was unable to make it fit, and con-
scqucntly raised the window in the
lower story, and fastened it up SO hc
might readily escape. lie had u can
tlln with him ~ ,.,,,,1:,.. ill.,
stairs he heard some one snorc and
thought it was Il man. lie blew the
candle out, walked into the room and
stepped up to the side Of the bed.
Mrs. Hull awakening asked, "Who is
ltF' "Ihc DOCTOR" replied the negro.
She put her hand up and touched his
tace. lie threw her hand back, at the
same time laying his own hal,i.. a..eavlly
over her mouth. lie then got hold of
q cologne bottle and dashed cologne
into the face Of the struggling woman.
after which hc got upon the bed and

was by this time in an exhausted con-
dition and he tied her in the manner

ed candle and holding it close to her

The robbery was then committed; and
Ihc robbcr made his escape, soon lcuv-
ing New York for Boston. lie re-
pcats his statement that he had no
other motive than robbery. The
police authorities here do not think
lhcrc is anything of a reckless bravado
about the negro, but on the contrary
Hiatt lie is very cowardly. ITr is Il
native of Powhatan county, Virginia,

his intention to go from here to Provi-
acncc and cnleavor to get a berth as
cook on some foreign bound vessel,
and had it not been for accidental and
almost intuitive recognition of him
from the pawnbrollcr's description bv
Mr.: Balch, of the Boston Xeyuld, he
would probably have made good his
escape from the country. There is
nothing to show that he had any con-

New York Times, 2oth.1


New York Times, 2oth]
The creditors of Williams, Birnic &
Co., cotton brokers, who have been
waiting to learn what Mr.. Williams
would do for them, have lad another
consultation. 1t was held at the office
of the Board Of Managers ofthc Cotton
Exchange on Wednesday evening. Mr..
John l.. Macaulay presided, and an
nounccd that the meeting had been
called to hear the report of tho COM
mittce of sGycn appointed to confer
With Mr.. Williams. That committee
made its report, from which it appear
ed that q representative had been sent
to Charleston, and that to him Mr..
Williams had offered to pay 90 per
cent. of the creditors claims. The
committee had refused to accept this
oflcrj and had ordered u suit to be
brought against Mr.. Williams in the
United States Circuit Court at Charles
ton: The report containing the refusal
of the committee to accept Mr.. Will
liams' offer was unanimously adopted
by the meeting. The general feeling
was that the creditors Wottld rather
lose all than make compromise, in
consequence Of the manner in which
Mr.. Williams had treated them in
absconding from the city, after giving
pledges to his creditors that he would
not leave the city until he had settled
everything. The meeting adjourned,
and will be again convened OH tho cali
of the chairman.
