Gessford’s station, st and F streets, where Coroner Patterson held an inquest over the body of the colored man which was distnterred yesterday underneath house No. 1019 H street, and which was supposed to be the body of George Car- enter, who formerly lived in the house, but disap- Peared last Christmas. Loutsa Carpenter, the wife of George Carpenter, was arrested yesterday after- noon, and her three children—Ida, aged 15 years; Chastine, aged 9, and Collin, aged @—were taken In custody as Witnesses. THE CORONER'S JURY. The following gentlemen, T. A. Rover, A. Eckloff, W. 8. Babett, Henry Alber, Alexander Cunningham and R. H. Wood, comprising the coroner's jury, met ‘At 11 o'clock in one of the upper rooms of the sta~ ton house. ‘TRE FINDING OF THE BODY. Levi Bowersox, the carpenter who was at work at the house yesterday when the body was found, testified to detecting afoul odor about the house Monday, when he called the attention of Mr. Hend- ley, the owner, tothe smell. Mr. Hendley directed acolored man to dig down into a mound of dirt Under the house, There was a piece of bed tleking exposed, and witness told the colored man to fin out what was in the ticking. ‘The bottom of the pitin which the body was fould is about three feet ‘low the floor. ‘There was not much earth over the body, but a lange quantity of bricks, tin cans, bottles ahd other rubbish. A board nailed down over the hole In the floor ot the closet beneath which the body was found, was pressed down upon. the heap of dirt and rubbish, which flied the pit upto the floor. 4 portion of’ the body, including the head and one arm. was not covered at all. The hole in the floor was 15 Dy 18 inches, and the board Was nailed down on top of the flooring. There were, he thought, four nails in the board, and if they had Deen pulted up at any tme, they ‘had been driven back again in the same holes. ‘The witness thought there was a bed quilt wrapped around the shoulders and head of the body. He saw no rope around the neck or the body except the rope used in hauling the body out. ‘The witness did not think one per- son alone could have stowed the body down the hole. The hole in the floor was about six feet from the east wall of the house. The feet were directly | under the hole, and the line in which the body lay Tan in a southeasterly direction. The body was ‘straight, He thought it doubtful whether any per- ‘Sons could have straightened the body out without getting into the hole after it. ‘THR CARPENTERS A PEACEABLE FAMILY. Mr. Wm. Hendley, whose wife owns the house, testified that his wife completed the purchase of the house about ten days ago from Thomas H. G. ‘Todd, representing the estate of Wm. B. Todd. ‘The woman Carpenter did not own the house, but was purch: y installments. She left it a week ago last Satt , after receiving notice from the witness. He did’ not know whether she left will- ingly or not. She had lived there six or eight years. A more quiet and orderly family than the Carpenters the witness had n¢ known. Aftet Christmas it was given out, or rumored in the he’ borhood, that Sapee had got into trouble Wh is employer, Mr. E. G. Davis, and had “julped the town.” The story was that the eldest duuguter had gone to Davis’ and bad been detected in taking things away. The neighbors all believed it and pitted Mrs. Carpenter. DEATH FROM KEPEATED BLOWS OF A HATCHET—THE BODY UNDOUBTEDLY THAT OP CARPENTER. Dr. J. F. Hartigan, who examined the body yes- terday, testified that it wasin an advanced stage of decomposition, a portion of te skin and flesh hay- ing Rice eiphinde pba from the left side of the body and head, which had evidently been ex- posed above the ground. All the clothes were on the body except the shoes.) The back portion of the skull was crushed in, showing the effect of re- ee blows inflicted probably with a small atchet. There were marks on the scalp and skull showing the impress of the edge of the hatchet. ‘The hole in the skull was irregular in shape and about the size of the palm of a man’s hand. Many pleces of the skull were found inside the wound. If there were any other wounds on the body, they could not be distinguished on accouny of Its decom- posed condition. The doctor took a hatchet and by means of itexplained the nature of the marks on the skull. , Was a very remarkable thing, the doctor said, t_the side whiskers and prominent teeth of the dead man remained undisturbed. These marks left no doubt, from the descriptions given of Carpenter, that the body was that of Carpenter. He thought that the condition of the body would indicate that the man had been dead since Christ- mas. HABITS OF THE CARPENTER FAMILY BEFORE AND SINCE THE MURDER. Mrs. Sarah Wenzel, who lives at 1017 H street, adjoining the house where the body was found, testified that the Carpenter family was very quiet, and she had never known any disturbance among them. The witness heard Carpenter's voice in Lis house on Christmas di The following week she saw something which looked like clothing burning in the Carpenters’ back yard. Some time after- Wards, about a month after Christmas, witness, thinking that Carpenter might be sick with some contagious disease, spoke to Mrs. Carpenter and asked her if he was sick. She sald he had gone away and had been gone about @ month. “about three months ago she heard a nolse in Mrs. Car- ponters house, as if something very heavy was ing moved down stairs. There had been a bad stench in witness’ house for about two months. ‘She never knew of the Carpenters having company at night. A LIGHT COLORED MAX. Juror Eckloff asked the witness if shé had ever Seen a light colored man going to the house. ‘The witness sald that since Carpenter disap- peared she had seen a light colored man get off the cay one day and knock at Mrs. Carpenter's door and go away again, as there was no one at home. Before Carpentet disappeared Mrs. Carpenter re- mained at home during the day. Singe then she had been in the habit of going out to work, and re- cently had been at home only two or Unree nights in the week. ‘THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY. T. H, G. Todd testified that the house was recon- veyed by Mrs. Carpenter to the witness, Mr. Car- enter Was not @ party tothe contract. The amount due by Mrs. Carpenter on the property was about What the rent would have been for six oF sores Years, and it was arranged that she should recon- vey the property instead of going to the expense of selling out under the deed of trust. She bought the house in 1878. Witness asked her about April 15th why her husband did not assist her in for the property, and she sald he had run away from town and she did not know where he was. ‘TESTIMONY OF CARPENTER’S EMPLOYER. Mr. E.G. Davis testified that Carpenter was in his employ about fifteen years He was at the store on Christmas morning, and left between 12 and 1 o'clock on Christmas day. Witness noticed nothing unusual about him. ‘The next day he did not appear as usual at the store, In the oon, he received @ note through the mail, which he su at the time was written by Carpenter. note stated that an uncle had left him some: erty out west, and that he was going out to take charge of it. “It stated that he had been lving a. life of shame; that whisky and women had ruined his health; that Le expected to return in about six months and pay all he behind him). Witness of course Was a foc that he had gone and asked Page, man then in witness’ employ, to see Carpenter's wife and learn what she knew of disappearance. Her statement corroborated note. Since then witness had heard nothi Carpenter until he learned of tne discovery of the body. When Carpenter disappeared there was no money due him, but, on the contrary, he owed wit- him in any dishonest Practice, and a to believe that he was otherwise Ed Carpenter seemed to be very much startled and drew back. She appeared as though she was about tocry. Witness asked her why she had denied that Ler Ramewas Carpenter, and she said that when her husband went away he told her that if he re- mained away three weeks she could change her name. So she had changed It to Hattie Parker, be- cause she admired that iame more Uan the name of Louisa Parker. When asked when she last saw her husband she sald Christmas eve, but afterwards at the station house, she said Christmas day. Witness asked her | what She used tne closet for. Suid she put | her stoves in it and an old table. Siw said in reply | to inquiries that she had never had occasion to us? the tfap door in the closet, and had never Unrown any rubbish down the hole.
