Chicago, Jury 11 ?A SL Paul speoial
says: Lord Gordon, who was lately
robbed of $41,000 in bund.*,' supposed by
detectives to have been done over the
border, was seized on Thursday, near
Fort Garrey, by two officers from Min?
neapolis, and brought to disputed terri?
tory, near Pembina, when he was res?
cued and the officers arrested by a squad
of troops from Fort Duffer. It is said
Gordon was made drunk and gagged by
bis oaptora. The Manitoban authorities

napping, Mr. Bentley, a merchant at
Fort Garrey; J. C. Burkbank, President
of the St. Paul Fire and Marine Insur?
ance Company, and George U. Meriam

rants and documents to secure the body
of Gordon. Despatches of last evening

It was roported in Brooklyn, last even?
ing, that Kate Stoddard, who is still
confined in the captain's room at tho
police station, had attempted to commit
suicide. There is a woman in the room
with her, to see she does not carry out
her threat; but it is feared even this pre?
caution will not he suffioient to save her
life, if she is kept continod there muoh
longer. Sho was very restless, last evon
ing, aftor hearing that the police had
captured her trunk, and obtained pos?
session of Goodrich's property. Once or
twice, sho begged to be loft alono in tho
room, but hor request was not granted.
Some say that she is already insane, and
does not roally know what sho is talking
about; others, that she is only feigning
insanity, under advice of counsel, who
liavo long siuoo been retained to defend
her.
j Kata 8tod3ar0v> undet arrest for the
murder of Goodrich, in Brooklyn, proves
to be Minnie "Waith am, of Middlebo
rough, Mass., where ber parents are liv?
ing. She baa made tbe following state?
ment of the marder to the police: She
had been living .with "Charlie," as she
called the deceased, and was greatly at?
tached to him. fie wanted to east her
off, but she loved him bo mach that she
could not leave him. ? She entreated on
her knees tbat he would allow her to re?
main, bat he was firm?in fact, brutal in
bis treatment of her, and the Thursday
before the Friday on-which the body was
found, was the day fixed for her to leave
bim, he threatening her with all sorts of
things if ahe dared to trouble him further.
She had remained in tbe house, in De
graw street, all the previous eveuing,
and in the morning when Goodrich got4
op, she again besought him not to cast
her off. Ho was very angry and refused
her request, or to hear ber at all. lie
then went into the basement at the front
; of tho house, and proceeded to light the
j beater which -was located there. Sho
. loved the mau so much that she could
not leave bim, aud that when she saw
him determined to discard her, she
worked herself np to murder him. Sho
had one of his revolvers in her pocket,
not the one which the deteotives found
lying at the house beside the corpse, and
while Goodrich was stooping down on
ono hand and knee in the uct of lighting
the heater, she drew the pisiol, and, ex?
tending her hand towards him, she said,
"Charlie." fie looked up, and she shot
him three times. These were the fatal
wounds which the post morion examina?
tion disclosed. After she committed the
murder on Thursday morning, she waited
all tbat day aud night in the bouse,
watching it. Friday morning, she had
occasion to go to New York, und early
on that morniog she washed the blood
from tbe face of the murdered man with
a towel, which she afterward wrung ont,
and whioh was also found damp by the
police. She fixed the corpse as it was
discovered, and when she had done i us,
she went over to New York for something
or other, and was about to retnrn to the
house that Friday evening. She came
over Fulton Ferry, and ere she had fairly
pat her foot on the street, sho heard the
newa boya crying out, "Extra?Marder
