NEW York, August S0.-The Hull MUIR
der case is once more brought before the
public by the receipt Of an anonymous
letter by Ohastine Cox's counsel, intending
to implicate Mrs. Hull's husband. It is
stated that such evidence for the defense
was suppressed by Cox's counsel at the
time Of the inquest, including the affidavit
OF negro woman named johnson, a hair
dresser, to the effect that while waiting on
customer up town she overheard several
men conversing regarding the murder in
an adjoining room, and the conversation
disclosed the fact that one Of the party,
and not Cox, was the murderer OF Mrs.
Hull. Counsel for Cox declined to use 1t,
believing Ii unreliable and tending to do
more injury than good. To-day counsel
for defense received letter dated at the
st. James Hotel, Boston, stating that on
the night Of the Hull tragedy Cox met
two masked men in Forty.second Street
Park. They proceeded TO the Hull
mansion, and Cox was admitted, through
the window by. these men. The
object was to secure some important
papers, and Cox was instructed to get
them from Mrs. Hull's room. These pa
pers, the latter declares, are now in pos.
session Of the man who at first was sus.
pected Of being the perpetrator Of the
tragedy. He wanted them because Of
Mrs. Hull's remarks about making Q will
unfayorable to him, but no bodily injury
was intended Mrs. Hull.
A reporter interviewed Cox in jail to.
day, but he declared there was not one
word Of truth in the letter.

We had a call last evening from Mr..
Henry White, Of the Romney Deaf, Dumb
and Blind Asylum, brother Of Attorney
General White, who has been on q tour
through several counties Of the State
gathering up the unfortunate children who
are proper subjects for admission to the
institution. 1t seems that there is a great
lack Of information in some parts Of West
Virginia in regard to the existence Of such
an institution as the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind Asylum, and hence many persons
Who have children in their families
aeeding It's benefits have never ap-
Piled for its privileges. Mr.. White
says that these children thus kept
at home are mostly found in the
families Of very poor and ignorant per-
sons. Indeed, he says that this class oi
children come largely from such families
In the State, and hence he was sent out to
hunt up those who were remaining away
Tor lack Of information and put applica.
tons for admission in their hands. He
has reached in one way and another about
thirty.four children, a majority OF whom
are expected to report at the institution
soon after the opening OF the coming ses
sion which, by the way, begins to-day
He will take with him to-day a number o
pupils from this city, among then
the. following: Clifton Arthur, William

The State furnishes board, tuition

also travelling expenses where the parents
are unable to pay for their transportation
but the counties from which they 60 arC

probable that the institution will havI
