appears, arrived in tins country but about Two

Lower Saxony, Denmark, and had brought win
him several trunks OF valuable clothing, mcrchan-

The first discoyercr Of this murder appears TO
have been lir. &. Stout, Of Brooklyn, who was
gu. cunning in iiobosen on Friday evening and
heard t%o p;slol.sho:s as he was returning home
and when in the yic:aty Of the spot where the
oodv was found. Not thinking the circumstance
unusual, however, he passed on and shortly after
was startled BIZ something resembling groan--
Surprising it to be the cry o: wounded bird, he
did not stop to make farther inquiry, but return
ed home. During the night, however, while
thinking over the matter, he determined tomake
search in the morning, which, in company with
couple Of friends, he proceeded 10 Go, with the
result above stated.
FARTHER PARrIcuLARs.--We are indebted iof
the following 10 the Editors Of the True Sun;
We understand that the person who has been ar
rested on suspicion Of having committed the muir
Ter j. II German OF the name OF Mesgars VINO nas
been for some time past in the employ oil n large
drug house in this city, as clerk. he deceased
spoke very rlc English and las oa!y been IN i'is
city about three weeks.
Onexamining his baggage, no trace Of his money,
or any receipt or acknowledgment for II, can he
found, although, from the n-ihodIcal arrangement
which appeared to be prevailing habit with Mar
Tin, ii was 10 be presumed some memorandum OF II
would have been in existence. The opinion is that
his money was the object of tho murderer, from the
fac, thar one pocket was found turned inside out.
1t is supposed that it was kept in wallet with The
papers OF tine deceased, which wallet was known to
small s,rip of paper with the name and address Of
he person :, m whom Martin boarded in ilcy street!
and to this fact is attributed the early identity OF the
body and The arrest OF Meggar-hc having been M
mediaicy NAMED as person much IN the conpahy
of he deceased since hs residence here.
Yesterday the lodgings Of MegSar were searched,
and in his trunk WAS found shirt, The bosom OF
which had the appearance Of having been eraspcd
in struggle also pair Of Pan,aloons bearing cv,
dent marks of having been washed in parts, and
smelling OF marsh mud. Eighty dollars were found
in the trunk. The examination will be continued
to-day.
