_—e WHOLE NO. 7884. THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER. The Murder of Young Samuels. WONTINUATION OF THE CORONER'S INQUEST—TES Qs8E STILL INVOLVED IN MYSTERY—THE BODY PIRST SEEN IN BROOKLYN BY TWO BOATMEN, ‘The inqueet in the case of Charles Semuels, the youag man who was found murdered in the waver foot of Boek- ‘mean street, Past river, on Tharsday afernooa, was con- tinued yesterday morning at the Second precinct station house, by Coroner Connery, in the presence of a large num- ‘Der of spectators and numerous friends of the deceased. The ‘moystery surrounding the fate of the deceased, instead of Deing cleared up as the inquest progresses, continues tobe aaclosely veilad asever. Yesterday afforded but little evidence against the accused party, but on the contrary it ‘was rather favorable to him. Curtis, it is well known, berrowed a piece of rope at Pearsali’s dining saloon on ‘Wednesday night, and it was supposed by the jury that this was the rope used in attaching the stone to the body @f the deceased; but the 2vidence of John Brady, ono of the witnesses, soon. dispelled the idea. The repe bor- wowed.by the prisoner was light piece of cord, while ‘Wat found attached to the stone was quite thick and of a different material from the other. The next Mmportant feature in the syjdence as adduced yesterday was the testimony of two bostmen, who it appears found the body of dsceaged on the Brook- dyn side of the river, about eighteen or twenty feet from ‘the dock, at a point about midway be:ween Catherine and Fuhtn ferries. These boatmen were grappling for pieces ff eid iron when they accidextally hauled up the body of @e murdered youth. The stone was tied around bis body, ‘and he was in the same condition as when discovered by the police, The boatmen were unable, in consequence of ‘the strong ebb tide, to land the body at the Brooklyn here, so they determined to tow it over to thiscity. On @eir arrival hore they rowed into the slip at pier No. 20 Coot of Beekman street), and there deposited the corpee Previous to going to the Coroner’s office to notify the au- ‘@orities of the fact. In the absence of the boatmen the Police came along, and seeing the body in the position it ‘was left by those who had recovered it, took it for grant- @4 that deceased had been thrown overbeard from the @eck on this side of the river. The bostmen told a straight story, leaving but little doubt in the minds of the Jery as to the fact of the murder having been committad ‘tm Brooklyn, instead of New York, as it was at fret sup- pesed. Another circumstance which goes to sustain the theory of murder having been committed in Brook- yn, the jury by Inspector Weed. At the feot vton street, Brooklyn, nearly opposite the met eboatmen grappled with the body, lies a qqpan!\l) 0! “tone (about thirty tone, porbaps) of the same Aaracter « ‘hat found attached to the body of the deceased. ‘This stone cannot be found on this side of the river at any point within half a mile of the foosof Beckman street. ‘Mat in itself is a signiticent fact, and ought to be weighed ‘well by the Coroner and the jury, In our report of the proceedings before the Coroner and Jnry on Friday, Mr. Samuels, the father of the deceseed, wae made to say that his con was ‘‘a dissolute fellow.” ‘That was a typographical error, It should have read ‘‘a reselute fellow.”” The friends of the deceased conveyed ‘the body to Brooklyn yesterday for interment. The fuse val will take place to-day, from No 235 Adame street. ‘The evidence, as aiduced yesterday, reads as fol- dows :— Francis McPherson sworn, deposed as follows:—i live at the Globe Hotel; I hed no acquaintance with decessed: ‘while in Pesrsall’s saloon, under the Fclton market, adout Ze’clock this morning, 1 was talking to John Brady, the Darkeeper, when & conversation eprcng up relative to the rope; Brady opened a drawer and showed mo a piece of vope; he said that Mr. Curtis bad borrowed the remsin- ing part of it afew nights previously; I saw the part of eo rope shown by Brady,and exprossed my regret at the murder baving been comm! ‘ted , there were about eighteen imches of the rope left; the balance had been given to Cur- tus; Ibave examined the rope fowad sround the body of deceased, and it resembles the detached part ehown me oraae Connery here desired the police to bring for ward the pece of rope possession of Mr, Brady.

The inquest was then adjourned until Monday morning, at 10 o'clock, Supposed Murder--The Body Found at the Hudson River Reilroad Freight Depot--The Matlloted Remains of a Female Sent to New York via the Suspension Bridge. ‘We yesterday noticed a case of unusual occarrence in the ennats of crime—a human body packed in a whiskey cask and sent vis rail to the depot cf the Hudeon River Railroad at the foot of Canal street, The body was re- moved to Bellevue Hoepital, aud yesterday Coroner Hills, with the assistance of Dr, Beech, Jr., mate an examina tion of the remains. ‘Tho body ‘s one of a female, and presents a moet horri- fying spectacle. The legs regularly rawed off at the thigh, and the abdomen has been cut or ripped upto nearly the neck; the intestines are cone, and nothing re- mains but the liver and heart—eome demon in human shape must have ‘‘ scopped” the lungs out of the unfor- tunate being There \s @ significant appearance in the right leg near the ancle, and one that leads several to ep- soy that foal play must have been used. The ancle literally chopped off, as if wd @ hatchet or adze, and tndioaten that no medical geatlomen have previoue!y used the remains for dissecting purposes. Ali the muti- lations of the corpse present tae appearagce that no me- dical or asotomicsl experimente”have been tried, nor has science been alded by the extraordinary wounds found ‘upon the body of the deceased. It avpears from the ex- amipation of ihe medical goatiome, that an unsuccesefal attempt was wade to bleed tae poor woman, and the un- siiful sod unprofessional manner ‘a which the lancet was applied orly presents stronger proof that a myetari- ous murder bas taken pace. Coroser Hills yesterday emparnelied a jury, but from ‘warit of testimony, all that could be Jone was to view the remains and adjourn the inquest. The vigilant and gen- tlemanly Coroner has instituted all the ‘ies in bis power, apd the agent of the Budeon River Railroad, at the freight depot, has telegraphed to a1] the stations ‘a Canada in hopes to gz'n some information that will throw a light upoa the mystery, ¢ barre] or cask in which the remaine were “packed” is ap ordinary whiezey Darre), but painted black on each head. Upon ope end tne ecdress is painted io white let ters, “W. T. Jennings, 185 Leonard street, New York,” and upon the other the address is written in a stkoo!boy band on a common piece of card. The cask is lined throughout with heavy deposit of chloride of s which, no doubt, bas preserved the remaias from decom- ition. a the cask were found several articles of female ap- parel—a chemise, with one arm torn off, no doubt the one upon which the .nituls of the unfortunate deceased sppeared; a peir of drawers of white Canton fanuel;a large piece of barege, which appears white, but still re- tains traces of the original pattern, though eudjected to such & chemical ordeal. There is aleo & piece of liaen end Spretty quilted white petticoat, wh.ch must have Deen ‘worn Dy a party ip good circumstances. As yet co elucidation of the mystery his been d:aco- yered, but tis hoped by Coroner Hills end al! parties, that the inquiries and telegraphos des which have been instituted and forwarded will result ip discovering the perpetravor or perpetrators of this foul deed. Another Propable Murder. At quarter past vine o'clock last evening a boy, named McCarty, said to be an employs in the Tritune office, was brought to the Second preciact station ia a very preca- rioas condition, he having been shot with a pistol by a man tt 19 North Wiliam street, next door to where Vin- cent was murdered several mozthsrince, The asesasin has eecaped, but tt le expected that his capture will be speedily eflected. As so0z as tho intelligence of the homi- cide reached the station house, officer Curry proceeded cnome diately tothe scene of Lue tragedy, and arrested the keeper of the hovse and bis wife, both of whom are Ttallane, They state that McCarty was civil and did not provoke the attack, but they could not give a full state- ment of the ccourremce.

POLIOR—AN INSTANCE SHOWING THE DARING AND The record fer the past four weeks, ending SEILL OF THE FORMER AND THE INCOMPETENCY OF THE wLarren—$30,000 worth oF Pnorsary STOLEN. ‘The residence of Mr. F. Mills, No, 11 Fast Twenty-ninth street, was burglariously entered on the night of the 1ith of February last, under circumstances that are not a lit'lo remarkable in themselves, an? which show the coolness, courage and adroitness of our city thieves in a marked manner. Wedo notneually give there cases in detail, ne they are uninteresting to the general reader; but this burglary was one of unusual daring, and |! will serve to point a moral which, it is to be hoped, the police will not forget. ‘There had been afuneral at the house of Mr. Mills in the early part of February, which was largely attended, and it is supposed that the thieves took this opportunity to mingie in the crowd and examine the house well. The house was entered about oneo’clock in the morn- ing, by means of nippers. These implements wero so strong that the ey in the second door beyond the ves tibule was bent, After opening thie door the key was taken out from the inside end placed on the outside, so that in case thoy were pursued they could lock the door and stop the chase until they got off. The burgiars—for to all appearances there were two of them—then entered ‘the parlor and lit the gas, and prepared themselves to ex- amine the house thoroughly. How many rooms they en- tered is not known; but they finally found their way to the room im which Mr. Mills was sleeping with his two children, who occupied the bed with him while his wifo was absent in Washington, The gas was burning, and under Mr. Mills’ pillow waa a loaded revolver, which he would have used effectively had the thieves made the slightest noise. They did their work most completely. ‘They took all the clothing in the room that was likely to contain money and carried it down tothe parlor below. They then searched the drawers, and took all the papers and valuables they could find, without awaking the eleep- ers. Even the shirts did not escape overhauling, and a diamond pin, valued at $600, was taken from Mr Mills’ shirt, which lay at the foot of the bed. Tno bureau, which was near the bed, they did not dare to touch, as the drawers were locked, and could not be picked without noise, Fortunately for Mrs. Mills, they did not know that it was possible to raise the lid, and from this wrance on the par’ of the thieves she owes the preservs of most of her jewelry. After completely cleaning out this room and depositing the plunder in the parlor, a next visited a bedroom in which a brother of Mr. Mille was sleeping with his wife In this room, also, the gae was burning, and a loxJed re. volver was at the hand of the sleeper for use in case he should be awakened.

In all probability, had Mr. Mills made the fact of the robbery lic he would have recovered some of his property brought the rogues to justice; but in this as in other cases the police did all they could for the thieves, by doing nothing themselves and preventing any ‘one else from doing anything.

The guillotine hay done tts irrevocable work, and the living man who, in spite of bis undoubted crime, from the moment of his capture till the execution Of the last penalty ofthe Iaw had gathered sbout him more of sympathy than was agreeable to the authorities, now lies a mouldering corse im the cemetery of Mount Parnasse. It is not necessary that I should ester into any minute detail of this last act im the great regicidal drama. The daily correspondents of the Londoa papers have doubtless forwarded to their respective journals very full Particulars, which cannot fail to meet your eyes. Still there is always something to say not unworthy of atten- tion by any one who may happen to be at the seat of any great event, and that the execution of Orsini was a great event we need only point to the fact that a calcalation has been made that not less than two hundred thousand persons were collected in and about the neighborhood of the Place de Ja Roguette for the purpose of witnessing it. ‘Troops of all arms were on duty throughon: the night, and though many persons had taken up what was deemed fa- vorable positions as early as three and four o'clock on the morning of Saturday, they were considerably mortifed to find that these localities were precisely those that the military ultimately intended to eccupy. Indeed, every. where there was the most jealous vigilanes. An outbreak or emeute was an utter impossibility, if such, as is anid, was contemplated. Police were stationed at every point where the military were not, and it was easy to peresive, fram the cireumepection of the crowd, that it was thorough!y aware of the supervi- sion under which it was placed. I was myself om the ground at six o’clock, being accompanied by one of the police, who had instructions to place me as mear the scaffold as the nature of the circumstances would permit. T got within fifty yards of it, not, however, without great difficulty, The morning was dull, heavy, and bitterly cold, yet no one seemed dieposed to leave the scene of interest. The military, I thought, genera!ly bore in ita aspeet 2 look of care and gloom, and the crowd epoke in the "bated breath ; and when an occasional jeu esprit did break from it, the laugh sounded hollow ard discordant, and was quickly superseded by some note indicative of a graver sentiment. I looked round, and far as the eye could reach I saw dense masses of human heads with upturned faces, Atone time at every window and house top there might be descried through the hazy atmosphere clumps of people overlooking the scene; but suddenly « gradual dissolution of these was visible, and they finally disap - peared. For some reason or other the police wers or- dered to suffer no one to hold any position which in any dogreo dominated over the terrible drama. Tho dread of Dombs, even in this approaching hour of his agony, at- tested the might of Orsini. As the clock of the prison sounded the half hour before seven o'clock, when it was known the execution would take piace, there was en ad- ditional swaying of the crowd, anda disciple of Lavater might have taken some valuable hints from the working of tho features of many as they gazed eagerly ‘pn the direction of that huge, dull red thing, with its square beam and monstrous knife. There were many hundreds of women present, who for the most part seemed to pre- serve a greater degree of restraint upou themee!ves than ig generally observed on suck occasions. The Preach woman is made of diferent mould to our Anglo-Saxon ef'e- minacy. If she has tho heart to go to a scene of bor rors she can make the nerve required to bold on through it without flinching. I confess my ows heart thamped moat uppleasantly during the last half hour, and \t was @ real relief to me when at last the fatal mioute arrived § (ra- dually there had taken place a slight change of the per- sonages groupe! ou the seafiold. Upto the present mo- ment a knot of officials were grouped together before the ipstrument ot execution, partially concealing it from the public view. Now, however, all was clear, [here, straight before you, might be seen the basket which was to contain the yet living head of the victim, the board with its straps to which the body was to be Sound, the clean straw which should receive the vital stream of life. In front squadrons of cavalry, with drawn #woria, seemed Lye | wv all human Ipterfereace with the dread ordeal it to be enacted, whiea loug thik lee of infantry, with fixed bayonets, looked like @ hedge of steel between the spectators aod the criminals.
