she employed a dressmaker to do some " ork for her, and the lady, whom she did not know by name, lived on Chapel street about two blocks above the New Haven House on the same side of the street. Since that time there has been grand search and inquiry to find the whereabouts of the mysterious dress maker Every house where dressmaker's sign was exhibited on Chapel street, between Church street and the town line, was visited, and the ladies who preside over these estab- lishments were interviewed by knights of the quille until their patience was so nearly exhausted that they cried in their despair, "Who will deliver me2" The lady in ques- tion was found last evening by one of our corps. A ring of the door bell at No. 49s Chapel street brought servant to the door. who, on being questioned as to the residence of dressmaker in that building, responded 'Yes, sir. Up stairs, first door to the right" Following the directions knock was made at the door, when 8 pleasant faced lady re- sponded and the following conversation en- sued:
 Is the madam in?
 Yes, sir :. will you walk in?
 Being invited to seat, the question was asked of the lady if she had been recently employed as dressmaker by Miss Blanche Douglass, who had figured so largely in the coroner's investigation regarding the death of Jennie Cramer.
 have, responded the madam. I made 8 dress for her last week. After inquiring if | the interrogator was an interested party and receiving an affirmative answer, the madam proceeded in substance as follows: Miss Douglass first came to me early last week, I either Monday or Tuesday, and desired that ! should make her dress I told her that was very busy and she then informed me | that she was to remain in town for @ few ' days and would like to have me do the work | if possible consented and she brought me | the material, telling me how she desired the dress made. She called number of times during the week. and I recollect that on Thursday she called just as the whistle blew \ for 12 o'clock noon. I was busy and re- quested her to call again in the afternoon, | which she did, arriving about o'clock in | the afternoon and remaining until o'clock. | She came again on Friday when was at din \ ner, but remained until I returned, which | was about o'clock. She remained until about o'clock, when she went away. Miss Douglass called again on Saturday morning ! and took her dress, which had finished, paid me and then went away. This was the \ last time saw her. I did not know Miss ' Douglass before she called on me to have her work done. In answer to a question she said:
 | Yes, she appeared lady like in her acts and | conversation, and saw nothing to lead me | to think she anything but lady. | Have you any objection to giving me your full name, madam?
 Yes, sir, have I don't want to appear
 case, and do not want my name in the pa pers in connection with it.
 The persuasive powers of the interviewer
 were brought into requisition, but it was of no use, and lowing himself out with thanks Il he retreated down stairs.
 ! After diligent inquiry in the neighborhood Lit was ascertained that the dressmaksr's
 name was Mile. Foisie.
