More Arreatof Nimpeetei Person-The 'ne nit it Ntandsw FromNao York Eotniilg PmI of yesterday. Tbe mystery which surrounds the Hogers murder increases. Coroner Flynn, aooompa nled byHpeclal Ofllcers Ttilly and Murphy, of the Fifteenth precinct, left the Sing Sing prison on the morning of Monday, and If the Inform lion be gained there proves trne, neither of the men in custody at present is aunty oi tue mur der, bnt the crime was committed by another person against whom suspicion bas not oeii e been directed. It is asserted that there are strong grounds for believing that the real mur derer is a convicted burglar who escaped from HlDg King prison about a mouth ago, and Is still at ittrre. i nis man, wnois dui years oi age, it n intimate friend of Iiogan, and it Is alleged that I bey both belonged to a gang of thieves who for a number of years have infested the corner of Nineteenth street and Seventh avenue. In Ootober last Logan was released from prison, and a Utile more than a month ago bis companion made bis esoape and oamn to this city, and It Is be who is now suspeotedof having murdered Mr. Bogers, The following is the chain of circumstances by wblca this con clusion Is arrived at: On tbe day that Logan's companion escaped, but before he effected his object, be wrote a letter to James Lngan, which ne ini.eiiueit to senu io oim secretly oyoueot the crew of the sloon lying at tne dock. On going to tbe latter place he found tbe sloop de retted, aud the chance of escape so good that be slowed himself away and was brought to this city, carrying with him the letter Intended for jjOgan. On arriving in tbu city, having no furl her use for tbe letter, it is supposed be destroyed it, and for some unaccountable reason pUoed tbe en velope in his pocKet. He is said to resemble Loean In appearanoe. height, build eto. Detec tives James Irving aud l'uillp Farley, of Polloe Headquarters, have been detailed to arrest this man, and It is thought that before many uaj s ne win ne secureu. in aouinon to this important development, Captain Caft'ray has learned that tbe stabbing was witnessed by a renniuble citizen, who. through fear, has thus lar laiifd to come lorwara. it mis person will make himself koown and testify, much of the mvaterv wblob surrounds this case will be speedily removed. The police nave also arrested three men, named ueorge Jobnsan. a (sixteenth ward thief, and two brothers, or tbe Twenty first ward. James and Michael I.ozin. but there is Utile or no evldenee against either of them. It is understood that Mayor Hall will lo-duy oiler additional rewards for the assassin of Mr. ltogert-; also for the surrender of bis comraniou, and any witnesses of the affray. He tins been urged to do Ibis by a number of prominent clil.cus, who have pledged thorn felvisto supply any sum that may be neces sary fur that purpose. Tlie Nuspcctetl Persons, nnd the Clues io mem. The New York 7Vfbtieof this morn inn savs: There are now three persons under arrest. suspected oflnlngin some manner either cog nisant ot or accomplices in tne inurnr. roe lirst of these, James Logan, now confined in the Mercer Street Police citation. Is the one for wbom a reward was o ire red by Mayor Hall, and who ou Raturday evening last voluntarily gave blmeell up at the wcslThlrly- llfto Street Police Btation. It Is not really believed that be Is the mnrderer, although It Is not certain that he is not, anu ins evidence may oeer value against bis former companion in Sing Sing, whom he alleges wrote the letter found in the nooketof tbe murderer's coat, torn oil' by Mr. Rogers In tbe struggle, and who is. as we have stated, , believed to be the assassin. There is another James Iiognn. arrested by Captain Allaire, and lieid in the i.hsi Tiii:iy-iiiin street ponce sta tion. The evldenco uiintnst him is rutlier of a negative character, lie bears a bad name nmong the police of the Eighteenth and Tweuty-llrst wards, but has never yet been convicted of any crime. He does not answer the description given of the assnsslu, being too t all, and inciting in oitier cssentinis. mm Air. , ltogers may have been mistaken in the appear ance of the man who assaulted him. Iu the confusion incident to the slruggle he might very readily mistake the size, height, or even the complexion of the assatlaut. The fact that be absented nimseir irom nome immediately after tho day of the assault, the 12tb, aud was not again seeu for nearly two weeks, when Ue was arrested when about to leave the house of bis brother-iii law in Forty -ninth street, is deemed very suspicious, nnd he is accordingly detained until he can account satisfactorily for bis movements during tbat Interval. His brother Michael is committed to tbe House of Detention as a witness. James Talland, who was arrested on suspicion of being the com panion of the assassin, and who was Identified by tbe colored boy, William C. Closter, aa one of tbe men wbom he passed in East Twelfth street, just previous to the assault upon Mr. Bogers, is also confined in the Mercer Street Police Btation. He seems to be very reticent, racing very little, except to deny all compll city in theaflair. No communication Is allowed with blm, tbe authorities evidently believing him to be an Important principal, or witness, it is difficult to determine which. James Ualla gber nnd Charley Mnnday, members of tbe Nineteenth street gang, who were arretted on suspicion of knowlug something of the whereabouts of Ihe one for whom tbe police are now actively searching, are still conflced in the House of Detention for wit nesses. Tne colored boy, Closter, who reallv seems to be the most important witness yet. obtained by tbe police, is still held at the Mercer Street Police Station, as It would ob viously be unsafe to allow blm to go at largo to be made away with, in all probability, by soma of tbe companions of the assassin tbat his testi mony might not be given. These oomorlseall who are now nnder the surveillance of the police. Coroner Fiynn will not be likely to continue the Inquest before tbe loth Instant, the day to which It was adjourned, and rnty postpone even then, unless some more im portant developments should be reached. THE HIGHWAY. Auotlier nrlnn; Itond Itobbery iu Mew York in Waylltflit. The N. Y. livening Post of yesterday has tbe following: Another daring bond robbery was committed In Dine street about 10 o'clock this morning, but this time, owing to the bravery of the messenger boy, the thieves were captured and the bonds recovered. It seems that about 10 o'clock W illiam H. Hegeman, a messenger employed in thn banking office of William B. Strung, No. by, Pine street, returned from the bank, carrying in bis hand a tin box contain ing a large number of bonds and other valuable f apers. amounting to many tiiousands of dol ais. The boy was probably followed lrom the bank by the two thieves hereafter mentioned, because, as soon as be placed the box on a desk, two feshlonably dressed young men entered the oflice, one of whom seized the box and rut lied into the street with it, closely fol lowed by hlB confederate, Tbe messenger followed Immediately, and an exciting chase ensued. As soon us it became apparent to the confederate that the lblef would be captured, the former seized hold of liegeman's left arm and attempted to Intercept him sutticiep'iv to enable the ether mau to escape. The boy, who showed commendable bravery, quickly freed himself from the rulllan's grasp, and resumed bis pursuit. Officer Flt.slnjinons, of the First precinct, seetng this movement, and suspecting that the boy was pursuing a thief, arrested the confederate, who gave tbe name ol William Spaulding. At the corner of Cedar street and Broadway tbe boy overtook the thief, and taking from his grasp the box, gave him lulo the custody of Ottloer Pellet, ol tho Broad way squad. Tho prisoners were taken to Holloa Headquarters, where tbe man who stole the box gave his name as Joseph Davidson, but be was Instantly reoog nUed by tbe deteoilves as tbe notorious "Tne." Davis, one of tbe most expert aud suooessful bond robbers In tbe couulry. About oue o'clock Ibis afternoon the two prisoners were place j in a room with a nnmber of olber persons, when tbe messenger-boy entered the room, and, without a moment's hesitation, fully identified the prisoners as the men concerned la the robber-.
