every one has theory which proves to be different from all others. One thing certain that has been brought to light is the fact that Rose Clark AmbIer was foully murdered, but by whom is one of the most perplexing uys- tories of the day. The testimony this morn ing before the coroneris jury has not amount ed to much. MT. and Mrs. Phillip Lewis (the parents of Rose Clark Ambler'a lover) testimony was of 8 general nature, being principally regarding the visit of Rose Clark Amblsr at their house and the time of her departure for home on that fatal Sunday night. Drs. Coggswen and Mooney. who per- formed the original autopsy, testified to what they found and to the reasons for their find. ing that the woman had been outraged. It is reported that Dr. George l.. Porter, of Bridgeport, whe vss witness Thursday af- ternoon and who made the second autopsy, testified that the deceased had not been the victim of an outrage and that his testimony rather disagrees with that of Drs. Mooney and Coggswell. The stomach of the deceased has been removed and sent to Prof. White, of the Yale Medical college, New Haven, where it will be subjected to both 8 chemical and microscopical examination in order to see if any drug had been administered. Dr. Burke, of South Norwalk, was present at the inquest to day as an expert in relation to the marks and bruises found uron the body of the deceased and other. points in the posts mortem. Detectives Arnold and Wood, who went to New Milford Thursday in search of Norman c. Amber, the divorced husband of the unfortunate woman, found Ambler at work upon the farm of Mir. Hatch about two miles from New Milford Center. the fields and on coming home at dinner time was confronted by the officers When be learned the nature of his visitors errand he broke down completely over the news of the sad fate of his late wife and expressed deep feeling while referring to 1t. When told by the officers that he was suspected of being her murderer, he cried out My God, My God, do the people of Stratford believe I would murder Rose, whom loved so well?' When asked as to his movements on Satur- day and Sunday last he declared there was no foundation for the printed reports that he had been either to Stratford or East Bridgeport. Mrs. Hatch said Amber was at home all day on both of those days, retiring early both Saturday and Sunday night. She also corroborated Ambler's story that he had not been of the farm in two weeks and that in October it will be one year since he had been out of town He admitted writing let ters to Rose in one of which he had sought to prevail on her to look fa7orably upon him and to again become his wife. He had received one answer to his letters in which she replied in friendly way, but de- clined to again become his wife or live with him again. The detectives this afternoon began to work upon an entirely new clue and they are confident that 1t will amount to something before long. It will be remem- bered that on the right cheek of the mur dered woman were three brutal scratches. These have been found to be finger nail marks. It is said that one of the men seen on the road that night is known to have but three fingers on his left hand. Who this man is or whether he is one of those already under suspicion could not be discovered this evening. Michael Heslin is now under strong suspicion of having had hand in the murder. This evening an ex-constable of the town of Stratford told the COURIER reporter that there was strong circumstaatlaI evidence pointing to Heslin. He (Heslin) was well acquainted with the murdered woman, and that meeting her on that Sunday night he had attempted rape and in trying to accomplish his purpose choked her too much. He would not say whether the new clue above referred to was in connection with the suspicious pointing towards Heslin. No arrests have been made so far. HesliD, like White. lives at Putney. four miles from Stratford. He is in no way frightened at the suspicious thrown out against him. Coroner Holt this afternoon adjourned the inquest to next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock
