woman with whom he lived. The po-
lice admit that the circumstances
which led them to suspect Stuyvesandt
of completely In the crime are not of
tangible character. but they hope that
he knows something which may shed
further light on the case. Both he and
the woman have been subjected to
rigid examinations. but neither has
made a single admission which would
incriminate the mulatto.
The whole city has been deeply stir

character of the old man himself has
