A letter 13 also published which was written by Forrester’s wife, formerly known as‘-Mollie Mack.” who at the tima of the Nathan murder was presiding at a bagnio inthis city. but afterwards went to New Orleans.

Wri Mrs. Mack.” FORRESTER IN SAVANNAT The Savannah News, alluding to Billy For Tester’s story of his adventures in that city fays :—‘ Some of his assertions are wholly false, and are calculated to mislead the public. He gave the name of Winslow at the time of his capture in this city, in May, 3871, and was kept in confinement at the barracks until the 11th ot duly following, when he was brought out ona writ of habeas corpus, and upon examination Was finally discharged. Winrlow’s career in this city borders something on the marvelous. ‘The facility and rapidity with which he entered premises and denuded them of their contents struck with bewilderment the victims of his in- genuity, It appears that he had a pair of ni pers by Which he could unlock any door with the ey in it, and by this means was enabled to ob- tain entrance into houses where the doors were locked on the inside. After getting all the booty he could, he would leave in the same way and lock the door behind him. Thus it was al most impossible to ascertain how he effected an entrance. At the time of his incarceration here it was suspected that he was Forrester, although the description of that party as furnished our detectives did not tally altogether with that of Winslow. Killed Dr. Cole ?— The readers of THE STAR, no doubt, remember the circumstances attending the frightful mar- der of Dr. Merryman Cole, in the eastern section of the city of Baltimore, on the night of the 6ch of January, 1872. In his own office, at No. 8¢ Eacter street, one of the most public thorough fares in the city, somowhere between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, he was brutally beaten to the floor with some murderous weapon, and his head and the apper portion of bis body literally hacked to pieces, Lt seems, from a long and detailed account In the Americas this morne ing, that the officers of the iaw have not been idle during the ‘ong interval that has elapsed since the commission of the crime, and have how, as they believe, obtained sufficient evi- dence to fully justify them in rearreeting upon the charge of having committed the murder the same party who was arrested on suspicion, bu discharged for want of evidence the day follow- ing the act, one Charles K. Huulerson, re: at No. 126 South Spring street, East Ba! re. This party. as was sown at the time, had been @ tenant of Dr. Coie’s, and as such bad hada disagreement with Lim {n regard to rent. ‘The ailditional evidence discovered by the ‘potice upon which they have made this arrestis{ur the present withheld from the public. Tue LEEesBurG PorsoninG Casz.—The Vir- Binia Sentinel, of the Jist instant, says the omis- sion of the commonwealth’s attorney to sign the indictment against Mrs. Lloyd, accused of poleoning her children, occurred during the Urry of a court which was crowded with crim- inal cases, and through no fault of the common- wealth’s attorney, and that the indictment is most carefully and artistically drawn. Mr. Jno. M. Orr, who is assisting in the prosecution, has gone to Baltimore for the purpose (as is sup- posed) of obtaining the presence of the wit- nesses residing there at the next court, in order to find a new indictment, or it may be to consult authorities.
