Baltimors (Oct, 34) Correspondence of the Cicinnatd 2w Commerefal, The trial of W. E. Udderzoot for murder, whioh 18 to commence on the 27th inst, at Wost Chestor, Ponn,, promises to unfold one of tho ‘most romarkable criminal tases of tho ago—n cago involving more of mystery, . startling lncl- dent, grood for gain, and hoartloss butchory than was ever conjured up in the brain of the most sensational writor of modorn fiction, Tha plot of this dark tragedy, ita sconcs and inci- douts, as'disclosed before the courts, a Coronor's {’ury.' and unoarthod by sbirowd dotectives, msy e Bummed up a8 follows : ACT FIRST. A woodon tenemont in the anhurbs of Balti« moro, oceuplod by one W. B, Goss, who Is oston- © sibly engaged In exporimenting on & substitute for “rubber, for which.ho proposes securing & patont. Ho has s pariner, one W. E, Udder= zoot, who han put $200 (obtsined from hiam mother) into, the common purse, the object bo- ing not to perfect a patent, but'to defraud fivo insuranco companios out of $25,000. Goss is & marriod man, and theso policies sre on his lifo, ono of $10,000 boing in the Travelers® (Accident) Company. Udderzoob procuros & corpse from B0mo comotory or dluncuxlnfig-ruom and places it in tho building, Then, all being 1n roadiness for the final conp, Udderzoot and Goss start ona morning for this building, purchasing on the way a pint of whisky and a gallon of coal-oil. They also borrow an ax of n neighbor, who accompanies thom. With tho ax a quane tity of kindliog ia cut, and at dark a futile offort 1a mado 10 light' a'coal oll lamp. Uddor~ ®o0t then goes away with tho noighbor, ostensi= bly for the purpose of procuring another lamp. Thoy bad not been gona long when the building was in flames. Goss had piled the kindlin wood on tho body, dronelied it with coal oil, Ius sot fire to the pilo, He then ran down tho lano, ot into & buggy which his urother, A, C. Goss, nd procured and hold in waiting, and drove to * tho Philadelphia depot. Io thon took a train northward, to becomo a voluntary wanderer, a ‘homeless ontcnat. ¥ : Uddergoot aud Lis companion hasten back to tho blazing building. Tho neighbors gather around, snd stand in tho glate of the erackling flumes. Not until the firo Hend had doneits . worst did Udderzoot mention to those around him that Goss'was in the building, This failed to croate a sensation, howevor, as several had seon aman run down the lane when tho fira broke out, and there had been no explosion. AT BECOND, The United States Circuit Court-room, Balti- moro, The widow of Goss hpd claimed of the Inguranco companiea the amount of the policier on her husband’s lifs, aud payment had beon Fofunod, on the ground that Boss was not. doad, The widow maintained that hor husband had porished in the flamos, and brought suit. Tha romains found in the ruins woro disinterred ond oxamined by medical oxperts. The dofenso urged that the teoth wero unlike the fine sob Goss was known to have possessed; that the Lair oxhibitod was not tbo color of Lis, and so a war was wagod ovor these charred fragmonts of humanity, which xesultod in s victory for tha plsintiff, " Tho average juror has no bowels' of. compassion for corporations or cormorants. An appeal followed, of course. The iusursnce companies were dissatisfied with tho “verdict, and no wonder. Indeod, it is asserted that prioe to this trial overtures had been made to the {n- surance ngents on the part of Goss,. who was ready to give himaolf up for o sum of mon:fi' and immunity from oriminal prosccution for ;concerned i the plot. ACT THIND In this we see the wanderer, driven from placa to place, embarrasued pocuniarily, given over to drink, now in Canads, then in Tennessee, thon in Pennaylvania, and for & time iu Now 5emoy.
