THE TRENTON MYSTERY.
The Young Typewriter Suspected an'
 Closely Watched.

Closely Watched.
 TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 6.-Miss Emma Purcell, the pretty young typewriter. is practically prisoner in the apart told she is prisoner or has been form ally placed under arrest, but the con stant presence of the officers mean the same thing. One or two of the highest officials in town look upon the mystery as solved, although they may find it 8 very different matter when 1t comes to proving anything. Miss Purcell tells a good straight story, and sticks to it in every particular, on the subject of her arrest.
 Albert Patterson, the druggist, whose store is under kniffin's dental par lors, is the only man who thinks the murder is the work of thieves. He says Miss Purcell's character is above re- proach, and she would be the last one in the world to think of committing such deed. He claims he has not been correctly reported by out-of-town newspapers.
 sensational bit of evidence which the coroner says he will introduce, is to show that Dr. Kniffin and Miss Purcell were in the habit of taking very affec- tionate farewells of each other in a se- cluded nook off Front street before they parted after their daily walks. Coroner Bower says he has the names of at least fifteen persons who wit messed these osoulatory scenes. Will liam Duncan, a salesman in the Boston Fancy Store, on State street, is one of those to whom the coroner will look for evidence of this character.
 Dr. Knif1n and Miss Purcell have been subpenaed, but Coroner Bower hardly looks for them to go on the stand. Lawyer Barton, their counsel, declined to say what his advice to them would be on that subject. Under the law they are not obliged to testify if the circumstances may incriminate them
