The Trenton Times says The
Isl of the girl Lizzie Snyder, New
Brunswick, and Of Lavinia II. Sander
son, who claims that Lizzie enticed her
into a Trenton house of ill-fame. is now
occupying the attention Of the Middle
sex County Grand Jury. Lavinia
charges Lizzie with enticing her from
home, stealing 81 and a ring from her
and getting her into a house kept by
Lou Watson, in this city. Lizzie
charges Lavinia with perjury. Both
girls are under $500 bonds to await
trial on these charges. The Grand
Jury is unable to tell which is telling a
falsehood, and is expected to indict
them both, although n o T the other
must be innocent.
The latest development in the case is
the securing, on Saturday, of warrant
for the arrest of Miss Synder upon a
charge Of malicious SANDER, made by
Miss SandersoR. In her frequent visits
to New Brunswick Lizzie had appeared
much in public, both at theatrical
entertainments and balls, and she is
accused of having given Lavinia II
very bad character in the course of her
conversation. The warrant has not
been served because Lizzie could not
be found in New Brunswick. She is
supposed to be in this city.
John Koop, the shoemaker, who
pretended to be the murderer of the
woman who was found some months
ago at Perth Amboy, declared when he
arrived at New Brunswick that this is
not true, and that he must have been
insane in saying SO. Koop worked two
years ago in the shop of Mr.. w. Seng,
corner Somerset Street and Easton
Avenue, and every one who knew him
says that his brain must apparently be
la little deranged. This seems to be
true, as Amanda Fluck, the woman
Koop pretends to have murdured has
been found healthy and living in Penn
~sylyania, and wa brought to this city
last Tuesday by Chief Fourratt. Koop
seems to have fooled the authorities.
1t is nevertheless possible, that Koop
is q murderer, and that it ishis wife that
he has killed. The case becomes o
and more complicated, and poor
johnny will for a long time be I'M
able to see the light of the sun, without
an iron crate between him and its rays.
1t is a question whether it is not the
best to send him TO the house of the
insane, or propose to find cut first the
! condition of his brain and his ability to
reason.
AL persons who know the man are
ready to say tnat they no not know
him to he a bad character. and his con-
duct always has been upright, so that
s~-Yous will believe him to be a MUIR
ncrileler. Jhe best way is not to con-
yshunlnn ID mai before we know more of
p ne cas-.
On, -OLlTuesday last the New Brunswick
;unVeSein held Its Grammatical enter
.e1duaenA, and We must confess we mad
.I,aaNoin Az opportunity to amuse our
= -,eS SO ld'ell as on that evening. The
festivIty was a complete success and
Greer's hall was filed by an immense
crowd. There had been erected a stage
on which splendid scenery was set and
the performances acted. Miss Won
Lehn as well as the gentlemen, Framm,
Korner and Muller disting uislled them
selves conspieuously well. The piece
was studied and executed by the stage
manager MI. L. Korner very carefully,
and all the participants carried on.their
parts in first class style. The gem of
the evening was the play: The living
anddead married people.n Mrs. Framm
and Mrs. Welnhold, the gentlemen
Lammertz and Kohlhepp were the stars
OF this play, and performed the comic
situations contained in it -splendidly.
Miss Weinhold and Ph. Kohlhepp gave
the Berlln-idiom SO well that they elici-
ted outbursts OF applause from the au-
dience.
The proceeds of the evenings enter
