The lower mid larger drawers ol I this desk, in which clothing vvas kept, had ; evidently been examined by the robbers and murderers, as their eontents ware ir.tteh dis- j placed. There are no marks of blood on the ! desk, which, tit ettr opinion, goes lo show ' that there were two persons engaged in the ; j 111 order, for no one con Id have dealt t' would induce any modest women not to i wake bet husband.'

The general impression here is, that Mi* White wiilvei be arrested.
