 NEW YORK, July 24.-The crime for which Dr. McGoneEal and his conn paniOns in guilt are now under Arres | in this city Is developing into one of the most sensational episodes in the criminal history of this country.
 The body of his victim, Annie GoOd- win, has been exhumed and identified, and the fact that death was due to mal- practice has been proved.
 At c o'clock last evening the autopsy buried by undertaken Merritt in the cemetery at Astoria, l.. l., was conn pleted and the Identification was established beyond all doubt.
 Opening the Coffin.
 When Coroner Messemer opened the coffin 1t was discovered that the body was dressed in nightdress sewed around the body, n gauge undsrshirt, a part of the cloth in which the body had been wrapped by Dr. MGGonegsl, and black stockings fastened with yellow silk garters. 1t had been placed in the coffin with the back upward and its face turned to the left, so that 1t rest ed on its right side.
 Not long after the autopsy was con- cluded Detective Price arrived at the cemetery with Annie Goodwin's mar ried sister, Mrs. Halliday, with whom Annie lived for a time, and Sadie Trap hagen, at whose home Annie lived after leaving her sister's house, and where for a time she was at liberty to meet her lover, Harrison.
 On catching sight of the face with a mass of black hair floating back from it, Mrs. Halliday exclaimed, "Oh, yes, it's Annie. Yes, yes, it's her" Mrs Halliday seemed about to faint, and was led away. Then Sadie Traphagen was led to the side of the corpse. She was considerably more composed than Mrs. Halliday.
 Her Identification was criticized more sharply by Coroner Messemer than Mrs. Halliday's Sadie declared first that the body was not that of Annie Goodwin, and then, es if first noticing the girls hair, exclaimed, "Oh, yes, 1t is Annie. know her by her hair" On suggestion of Coroner Messemer, Sadie noticed the girls teeth and afterward slight scar on the left side of her nose anu tAeA ohhouhceo posltlNely that the body was that of Annie Goodwin. The black-ribbed stockings and the garters, too, Sadie said she remembered as we'll es a rip on one side of Nle of the stock ings.
 No Doubt m. 'o Identity
 There was no doubt left now as to identity. She who had been buried as Jane Wilbur. an English woman, was surely Annie Goodwin. The grave h ad given qp its dead and told it's woe.
 The body was placed baol; in the coffin and returned to the receiving vault, where it will aw ait its final burial. Mrs. Halliday an the friends of the unfortunate girl will probably bring the remains to New York.
 The coroner's jury will render their verdict in the case tomorrow morning.
 Inc Doc:Or's Trial.
 Tomorrow morning McGonegal and Mrs. Shaw, the woman in whose house Annie Goodwin died, will be brought up for trial, and the detectives promi SC a complete case against both of them. They are doubtful about n conviction of the colored coachman who has been in- dicted as an accessory after the fact.
