eiry Recovered.
New YORK, June 24.-Through the
confession made in Boston last evening
by Cox, the murderer Of Mrs. Hull, the
police recovered this morning the re-
mainder of the missing jewelry.
Detective Schmitberger telegraphed
from Boston last night that part of the
jewelry had been given to Bella john
son, a mulatto girl in house Of ill-fame
on South Fifth avenue, New York. She
was found this morning asleep, and ar
rested. About her neck she wore the
topaz necklace stolen from Mrs. Hulls
trunk by her murderer. In her posses
sion was also solitaire pair of diamond
earrings, and pawn ticket for other
diamonds. She admitted she got the
jewelry from Cox.
ARREST OF COX.
Five officers in citizens clothes went
to the church, and shortly after 8 p. M,
the sexton called Cox, who was in the
church TO the door, and the officers took
him to the station. He made no resist
ance, and everything was quietly done.
On him was found the gold hunting-c case
watch, No. SO S57, with the inscription,
as. DEF. Ii. Christmas, 1875" engraved
on it. The watch was attached to
chain around his neck, that Balch Is said
to have recogni zed from the description
given him by Ste nberger. On his fing'
he wore the beautiful, long, narrow, oval
SHAPE ring b arlng the figure Of little
girl, and set with green enamel dots and
rows OF small stones. This ring was torn
from Mrs. Hull's finger. Over the in
scr'ption and number in the watch were
found pasted some little colored figures
of little girls and dogs head. A re-
volver was also found on Cox.
Every eye was tllr to Cox, who stood
there without the slightest evidence of
weakness or trepidatiOn. His face was
as calm as summer lake, and yet he
stood apparently convicted Of one Of the
darkest crimes ever committed.
Detective Wood looked him squarely
in the face and sald, "Where is the rest
of Mrs. Hull's jewelry?"
81 don't know anything about Mrs.
Hull's jewelry," Cox replied, without the
slightest emotion.
"Don'tyou ?"
"No."
With this on his lips, Cox, with the
detectives, the officers, and the newspa-
per men, went into the private room Of
the sta ion.
"Now," said Detective Wood, "tell us
where the rest of Mrs. Hull's jewelry is."

first time there was a tremor in his voice.
