Arrest of the Murderess. Yesterday afer the perpetration of the deed the detectives and Lt. Kelly, with the officers of the seventh: precinct, made a thor- ough search of every locality in which it was supposed she would go Visiting, espe- cially the county. It was ascertained that she bad friends in Bladensburg, but no traces were found of her. The search was bowever, kept up, aud a carefully prepared description of her was seut around to the Stations. Officer R. 8. Jones, of the third precinct, some time during thenight learned bal @ party answerlog her description had been seen an the Rockville road, and at an early hour be proceeded to Perry's farm, near the Presbyterian church, about seven miles out, aud there found ber and took her in custody. SHE APPEARED TOTALLY INDIFFERENT, and was disposed to (alk of the murder as a matter of little consequer mediately brought into rgelowa, about nine o’clock she was taken to police headquarters, where she was turned over te the detectives. She answers pretty well the description given in THE STARoOf yester- day, with the adaition of a slight scar over the left eye, made, as she states, some months since by Turpin’s fist. To a repre- sentative of THE STAR she stated that she believed she was 30 or35 years old; that she was born in Alexandria, and was a slave of the Tayior famtly of that city until the war, spending most of her life as a house servant, and since her to Turpio, which was during the war, by Rey.

She farther stated that there was not much blood in the body, and what little there was she first washed up and then white washed over it. SHE HAS HER PICTURE TAKEN. When it became known that the murder- ess was in custody at headquarters an im- mense crowd of all colors and bo gathered about the building. Some of the party spread @ report to get the crowd from the front of the building that she was to be taken out the rear door, and very soon the alley was full, a8 well as the atreat in front. Lteu- tenant Kelly, Detective McElfresh, and a posse of oillcers started with her through the rear of headquariers, and Price’s stables, to Gardner's Gallery,to have her picture taken, and were soon surrounded by a dense crowd, who followed them to the gallery. Here the crowa swelled, blocking up the avenue and rendering it almost Impossible to pass. It was with considerable difficulty the officers returned with her to headquarters. Here she was allowed an interview with her counsel, Mr. R. J. Murray and R. D. Raffin, which lasted for an hour or more. Coroner Patterson left @ commitment on the verdict of the jury, on which she was taken to jail with the prisoners from the Police Court. The deceased was buried in the corporation ground last evening. The arrest of this party 1s another evidence of the efficiency of our oy aes te police, who since the organization in September, 1861, have secured the arrest of every person charged with murder in tha District with the exception of two cases—Lydare, who killed a man at — house, and @ soldier who killed @ comrade near the circle. In these cases the whereabouts of Lydare was Known soon after, and had the expenses for getting him been paid they would have long since secured him; and in the other case the ublic authorities were not notified uatil so lopg after the occurrence that 1t was impos- sible to get on bis track.
