Startling Theories by the Detectives. | facts which, viewed tn the light of the most recent | committed in the residence some years ago, and | Forrester, Ellis and Kelly Again at the Frent— The Old Story Revived, ‘The startling theories advanced regarding the latest clew to the murderer of Benjamin Nathan and the universal interest with which these devel- | opments are received show plainly that the people ot New York have not allowed the story of this ter- rivle affair to be forgotten. This fact is evidenced very strongly by the tact of a universal reawaken- ing of anxiety on the part of the po- lice and hope on the part of our citizens, Small and trivial as is the circumstance in itself which calls forth this new clamor for jus- tice to the murderer, there is every reason to hope that some results will come from the renewed agitation of this terrible mystery. The story of that dark night’s work, the horrible scene which the daylight revealed and the efforts which since that time have been made to bring the mur- durer or murderers to justice will be found in an adjoining column. This narrative, although familiar in the main, will be found to contain many discovery, suggests many new and strangely startling ideas regarding this ‘dead secret.” Those whv cling with the tenacity of faith in the Amighty to the hope that a terrible crime like this may not go down to history unsolved hail any | and all new facts or theories which tend even in the slightest degree to make clear a mystery | which is impenetrable. The entire interest in re- lation to the nightshirt covered witn blood found | on the Nathan premises centres in the disclosures to be made by the Coroner and undertaker. They can dissipate every shadow of this clew or they | can render it of the most vital importance. In the latter case the theory of Detective Farley may be a clear headed solution of the mys- tery, although it 18 due to him to say tnat he | now offers it only as the merest conception of “what might have been.” To account for the mysterious appearance of this bloodstained gar- ment in a public part of the coach house, where it | cannot have lain long, willbe the first work as well as duty of the police. Only when this is done will the importance due to this discovery be tully | known. It may be an important link tn the chain | or it may be only a commonplace circumstance.

STRANGE COINCIDENCES. Thomas McKeever, @ gentleman who was sum- Moned to attend the Nathan inquest vy the Cor- Oner, and who viewed the rematos, was opinion that the shirt was the one removed from ir, Nathan’s body by the undertaker. He not conceive why it should be cast aside as however, without having subsequently been no- ticed. Mr. McKeever said it was singular that the left wristband was leit buttoned, and could conceive how it was possibie that Mr. Nathan’s | arm could have been pulled through a tight wrist- | | band, when it is well known that the deceased's | leit arm and wrist were greatly swollen the day of | the murder, THE WORK OF THE UNDERTAKER, After the removal of the interesting relic of the Nathan murder to Police Headquarters viewed by Superintendent Matsell and the oe of detectives and many others, and some os the force were detailed to iuvestigate the matter.

WHERE If WAS FOUND. Areporter of the HERALD was also upon the scene as earlyas nine A.M, and found sevoral men at work in demolishing the brown stone front Addressing one of the men employed the reporter asked to see the per- gon who first discovered the bloody shirt, where- upon a bright-looking man of thirty, evidently possessed of more than ordinary intelligence, came forward and said he was the man who “found It.’ He gave his name as John ©. Herbert and his resi- dence somewhere in West Sixteenth street, and wi E-C | proceeded to tell the reporter all he knew about i the matter. He was evidently impressed with the importance of having the discovery mentioned in the newspapers. He said he had found the mys- terious garment on Tuesday last in the floor of the carriage house. The reporter asked Herbert to show him the place in which the shirt was found, and then, passing over piles of brick and mortar that encumbered the floor of the mansion out into @ small back yard, he soon found himself, in com- pany with his guide, in the carringe house belong- ing to the mansion. Herbert pointed to an open closet on the left and said that in one corner of it he had found the bloody gown. “thought you first said you found itin tne dumb waiter in the house?” said the reporter. “Why, [took this to be a dumb waiter; but I see it is a closet,’’ said Herbert. ‘The closet was entirely empty, with the excep- tion of adoor broken off its hinges and which stood slantingwise against the wall. Herbert said that he had first discovered the shirt under the door in the closet. He, with several workmen, had repaired to the carriage house to cat dinner, and while looking around the ¥oom, more out of curiosity than anything else, he peered into the closet, and under the door discovered what he supposed to be a horse coverlet or something of the kind. He pulled it out, and, seeing something that looked like blood, dropped it; but soon after, upon examination, found it to be a shirt com- pletely saturated with human blood. One of his companions offered to bet that the shirt was the one Nathan wore the NIGHT OF HIS MURDER, while still another said he'd bet that it was worn | by Nathan’s murderer. Soon after the attention oi Francis W. Seagrist was called to the shirt, and | he took it incharge. He did not immediately turn it over to the police, but on Wednesday evening, having shown it to a few persons, among the num- ber a representative of the HERALD, he on the same night took it to his home at No. 227 East 119th street, Harlem, and exhibited it to some other personal friends.

A reporter of the HERALD last evening to the | | visited Alexander Canter, who assisted Mr. Levy Isaacs | | in the funeral obsequics of Mr. Nathan, and in- | quired of that gentleman if he could throw any | hight over the mystery of the bloody shirt. Mr. | Canter replied that he was called to assist Mr. | Isaacs the day previous to the burial of the mur- | dered man, ana help to dress the corpse for burial, the deceased He could not remember how was attired at the time, cid not even remember whether the body had on clothing of any kind, further stated that Mr. Isaacs, who had viewed the body after the murder, could in all proba- | bility identify the shirt found in the Nathan prem- as it was preserved on ice. He the mornin; ises if the same had ever been on the pe the deceased. He stated that he had bee moned to appear before the Police Commissioners to-day. =e son of n sum- Detective Phil Farley’s Opinion. “Tt does not matter what comes of this matter, whether mach or little, the causes for the appear- ance of this article of clothing in that place must be investigated,’ said Detective Farley to a HBRALD representative, who saw him at Police Headquarters yesterday afternoon. “The Chief de- tatled me to ascertain the reasons for the strange disappearance of the garment and its Teappearance in such a place such a length of time.

First, the shi have been removed by the undertakers if it was on Mr. Nathan at the time of his death. they can readily set us on the track. recognize the garment ft does not very much matter where it has been during this long inter- val. Second, if they or the Coroner do no’ nize the shirt, and are able to swear positively that the shirt is not the one removed irom the corpse, then the mystery pecomes greater than to ascer: tain if Mr. Nathan was in the habit of wearing a ever belore.

Shortly after daylight July 29, 1870, the announce- bis He observed two young men and subsequently at the Coroner’s The greatest excite- tion of the officers of Precinct No, 29 was attracted, Mr. Nathan retired to his bedroom, on the second floor, front. The female members of the family | were staying at a summer residence in New Jer- | sey. He and his sons had come into the city for some reiigious ceremony in commemoration of the | death of a relative. The eldestson came in ata | Jater hour and spoke to him before retiring to rest, | ‘This was tne last seen of Benjamin Nathan in life. Early in the morning at the time mentioned by General Blair Washington Nathan had descended, | and, as was his usual custom, entered his father’s | p room to bid him good morning and THE DISCOVERY OF THE MURDER was made. Nathan was found weltering in his gore in the place indicated in the diagram, The rear chamber Of the second floor contained a bed, which had been occupied during the night by one ofthe sons, Between it and the front room Was passage or intermediate apartment, used as & washroom. Another room for the same purpose was on the 7 daar side of the partition and com- municated with the drawing room, in front of which was the library or study of Mr. Nathan. A bed made of mattresses was placed in the centre | of each room, but the library was iurnished with a small centre table, desk, safe, chair and sofa only. ‘The chair was found overturned near the door leading to the outer room, the sate opened, the desk leaf down. There was nothing in the saie, ‘The papers were scattered about. The walls of both rooms were spattered with blood and streaked with hair. MARKS OF BLOOD were on the carpet, and everything bore the evi- dence of @ desperate struggle. ‘The bed was disor- dered, showing that deceased had retired to rest. His closing lay opposite, on a chair near the win- dow. On the bed lay articles taken from the safe, ana several pieces oi coin. Near the body was found the iron “dog” which later figured 80 con- spicuously in the working up of the case, Adjoin- ing Mr, Nathan’s bedroom was that of the servant man Kelly, the sonof the housekeeper, who ap- ears to have heard nothing ot the encounter. Rhe wounds on the murdered man’s heaa were severe and namerous—four scalp wounds, several severe fractures of the skull. Two or three of the fingers of the leit hand were broken asif by some heavy instrument to make him loose his hold. ‘There was checkbook on the desk in the library with @ partially drawn check for certain shares, showing he must have been ATTACKED WHILE ENGAGED IN WRITING it. The detectives considered that he must have | arisen from his bed for the purpose of making the check, and also that the crime was committed after midnight, as the check was dated July 29, ®uperintendent Jourdan was eariy informed of | the affair, and at half-past nine o’ciock was at the | house, Assisted oy several headquarters detec- tives. A kale examination of the premises was made. All persons were carefully ex- cluded. One of the sons stood at the door and prevented newspaper correspondents from obtaining information, An immense crowd by this time had assembled. The excitement both then and throughout the day was intense. Among the articles discovered missing were the diamond ing studs and sleeve buttons from Mr. Nathan's shirt, | N.
