THE MURDER IN THIRTY-SECOND STREET--TIE CASE | STILL A MYSTERY—CONCLUSION OF THE cono- NEL'S INQUEST. In the case of a German woman, found packed up ina box at the tevant house 168 West Thirty-second street, ruppored to have been murdered by her husband in ruary last, the investigation was farther continued yes- terday by Coroner O'Donnell. The testimony of Dr. Uhl wes taken, in which he stared that he had found two fractures of the skull, a large wound in the ubdomen, and ope in the small intestines ; the other organs were healthy, snd, in his opinion, these wounds were the cause of death. The body was identified by the clothing upon it as thet of the wife of Conradt Reickman, a German tailor, who had occupied the premises where the body was found. No eviience was ediuced showing who hal inflicted the fetal injecies, or when they were inflicted. ‘The fomily, which consisted of Reickman, his wife, and | egirlabout twenty years of age, moved into the apart- | ments on the 26th of November last, and were missed | sometime in February. Various es are abroad respecting this mysterious’ mur The opinion of those living in the neighborhood is that Reickman hed formed an attachment for the girl, and, | in order that his intercourse with hor’ might be uninterrupted, he murdered his wife, nailed ber body up in the ebest, and then with bis paramour quietly noved off. This may or may nof be the case; but cer- is that the position in which the unfortunate woman was found, and the violent death she evidently the foul ceed. But two or three witnesses were ox smined, and the substance of their evidence is given above. ‘The jury, ubder* tine charge of the Coroner, after ashort deliberation, rendered’ the following ver dict :—"' That the deceased came to her death by a frac ture of the skull, cansed by blows intlicted by some per- top unknown; and further, we suppose the deceased to Have been the wife of Conradt Reickman,’” Up nt! rendition of the verdict the Coroner isaued a werraut for tue arfest of Reickman, ond placed it in the vands of Lieut Flandreau, of the Twenty first ward police ‘This oMeor has some clue to the locality of Reickman, ond will use every exertion to find him.
