Bowlsby—The Handkerchief— Ths Inquest to Tako Piace To-Day. As ifthe history of atrocities wound up with the case of a dead woman in the trunk wouid never cease, uews came over the wires shortly aiter neon yesterday that a young man in Paterson, N. J., bad blowa out his braims on receipt of the intelligence ‘hat the murdered girl had been identified as one with whoin he was known to be intimate. The facis of this rash act are more fully detailed hereinafter, but as evidence of the cause of aking his own life he left but A SHORT, MYSTERIOUS NOTE, Rinting at the cread of baving vo testiryin this case. How unlooked for was this young man’s sul- cide in this qmet town, and how at once it forced usell on the niulnd that he was the one of ali men Who couid tell most of the horrid affair from the in- ception of the mhuman purpose to its fatal termina- ton! It would, pernaps, be wrong to speculate upon the Knowledge of the affair at tiis stage; but does not tuat very hasre to rush Into the jaws of elernity rather than face (ne responsibitities of his acts betray a tind diseased to the extent of pour ing into ine ear of a treiabdling girl whom he had misied that she should steel her mind to risking ANNIMILATION BEFORE DISCOVERY? Fear ts the very principle of the ethics of the sul- tide, and who could better impart a similar desper- ate feciny iban one ready to destroy himsetr at tne Grst whisper of a pubiic finding out? From this point tt 1s to be regretted that so pregnant a source of in- formation snouid be cut out of the case, for he must liave kKuown the object of Alice A, Bowlsby’s last visit to New York, It is yet to be hoped, in the ‘Imverests Of justice, that anything in the shape of letters or correspondence evincing a determination wo SEEK “PROFESSIONAL” ADVICE on the matter of her pregnancy will be put forward by her relatives, if such documents should be found toexist at their residences, Careful and minute search shouid at once he made. And so word by word and hour by hour the his- tory of the crime, of which that trunk at the Hudson Railroad depot told the first sickening syllables, 18 being inscribed in characiers of fire upon the moral conscience of New York. To tne police, who in this case have worked with commendable zeal under the ceaseless super- Intendence of Inspector Walling, the discovery of @ny very important leading point may not be due, ‘but it can well Le sald that every tittle of informa- Won bearl.g upon the case has been followed until THB WES OF EVIDENCE even now wants but little to 1x the grim guilt upon the wonsirous creature, Rosenzweig, who vears so Mmited a reseinblanve to a human being. The story of the Paterson physician, Dr. Theodore Y. Kinne, as related in yesterday’s HERALD, with the additional testimony of the surgeon dentist, Dr. Joseph T. Parker, has SET LED THE IDENTITY of the upfertunute subject of the excitement—one migot almost have written panic. Connected with ‘this, and chaining the imiserable wretch Rosenzweig tothe crime inseparably as Carrier did te Ven- deaus whom he drowned inthe rolling Loire, was ‘he finding by Inspector Walling of the handker- chiel in the washtub at Rosenzweig’s house on Second avenue, with THE NAME AND INITIALS of the murdered Alice printed In the corner, evt- Gently etainped thereon With one of the type stamps Or stencil plates sold for that purpose. Below will be found an exact /ar-sim/iiv of the corner of the hana- kerclief bearing the name of “A. A. Bowlsby,” Jound in the washtub at the house of Dr. Rozen- zwelg.

Mr. Wilitam I. Healey, whose butcner shop 1s at 82 Main street, Paterson, knew Alice Bowisby and her mother’s family well. He says that on Monday, the 2ist ult, When on his way up town, he met Alice, in company with another woman, 1 a cross Street going up Lowards broad Way, ans thinks it was Corsiandt or Dey street, She was gotug towards Broadway. He again saw her, accompanied by the same woman, ou Broadway, between Cortlandt street and St. Paui’s church. ‘The woman with her WAS A PATERSON WOMAN, but who it was has escaped Mr. Healey’s mind, as he thought notuing of the circumstance again till to-day, and he lias been trying all day to recall Who tne Woman with her was. " He says he wul probably remember the Woman instantly a8 soon as he sees herin the street or anywhere, or if he hears her Dawe, “she Was a short, thick woman, and wore & roundish hat, aud came just about up to Alice’s shoulder.” he says he thought, as she passed, how Well Alice looked, and his atvention was mainly at tracted towards ner as he was acquainted with her and tought of her being a fine Paterson girl, This was about eleven o’>lock in the moruing. pointment, rauning vver from Newark on the Mon- day beiore her death, for it must be remembered that she left her Newark. .rlends for home on the Wednesday following, going by the way of New York and not via the direct Newark aud Paterson route. Even if her iriends in Newark were not aware of her going to New York on the preceding Monday, sue COULD EASILY HAVE SLIPPED OVER TO NEW YORK by apppotutment and not have been missed from Newark, as the cars ran between Newark and Jersey City every tliteen imnutes, 1t was withoat doubt on we Monday When seen by Mr. Healy that the ar- Tangemeuts Were consummated which culminated in her dea h, Here 1s mormation for the detectives.

JANE JOHN:ON’S CONFESSION. She Saw Miss Bowlsby Go In, But Did Not See Her Go Out. Last evening, between eight and nine o'clock, Warden Brennan received a despatch irom Pater- son in regard to the remains of Miss Alice Bowlsby:— PATERSON, Auzust 31, 1871. THOMAS 8.

The Town Wild with Excitement—Suicide of the Supposed Seducer. Had the people of Paterson awakened yesterday morning and jound the entire rest of tue world swallowed up by an earthquake and the hitile city of dirty mills and factories standing high and dry upon & mountain they would not have been more | astonished than to know that the victun of tho | trunk murder was Alice Bowlsby, of No. 42 West strcet, Paterson, The excitement exceeds anyihing ever kuown in this town, and groups are cougre- gated on every corner discussing the affair. Like a current of electricity along the telegraph Wires the news fled, until, an hour aiter the arrival of the New York papers, tne topic was upou every- budy’s lips, THE RESIDENCE OF THE BOWLSBYS, at No, 42 West sticet, insiantly became an object of curious interest, ana nearly all day jong a crowd of Spectators Could be seen in the nelghbornood, seru- Unizing the house as if every prick Wasa link in We awful drama Of the rank mystery, ‘The house is @ turce story orick building, of very respectanie ap- pearance, being in tais respect beyond most of the ower houses in the street, To the right of the door 1s # tin sign, Which Says “Mrs, Sandiord & Bowisby, Dressmakers,” which business the mother of Alice and Mrs, Saudiord, @ reiative, carried on, THe BOWLSBY FAMILY consisted of Mra, Bowlsby, a widow, and three daughters, Annie, Addie and Alice Augusta—ihe Jatver this victim of the tragedy, All these giris were grown up, the youngest being about seventeen Years of age and the eldest (Alice; about twenty-one, They were all of the highest respectability, and, being vivacious and agreevie, had a very large num- ber of Acquaintances, including some of th: est families Of the city.

It 1s also said that she was of an affectionate, coufidiag disposition, and of a caar- acter that, loving once, loves ever,and with whole Souled devotion. Jt Was impossible to get into the house, as Dr Kinue the sauily pavsician had left orders fo admit NO one On account of the condition of Mrs. Bowisby, Who was heartbroken with grief. Yhe doctor ieft word for them to send reporters and others who might cail tor information to Lim, DR. THEODORE Y.

Parker, tie dentist, fully identified the body, They were both oid friencs of Alice, and it seems to have been from a desire to Satisty themselves that they were mistaken in their suspicions that they went down.

She never had the slightest suspicion On her character, and, in ‘act, knew noting more of the case than had been told her oy Dr. Kine, and what sue had seen iu tne New York papers, This ignorance of ber daugliter’s most provable condition only served to Auteusily the severity of the vlow. During the forenoon the Rev. Mr. Hurlbut, of the Market Street Methodist piscopal chucca, called upon the familly, but found them jaconsolable. Lhey could give no further mformation concerning the atiair than had been toid them, and they were too deeply stricken with anguish vo receive even the consoianons of religion, so the minister left, alter a short and unsuccessful interview.
