HORRIBLE DIscLosuREs A man named
Augustus Schmidt, appeared atthe police court
in New York, few days ago, and preferred
complaint against Christian Ahrens and his
Z 7. vi NJ n. r.Y HasaN q
wife, residing in avenue D, near 4th ST. He
stated, as we learn from the New York Sun
that about months ago, he was taken by All
rens into his cellar, shown the body Of a large
female, apparently about SO years old, with
the eyes cut out and the face mutiIated very
much, as he supposed for the purpose Of pre-
venting her ftom being identified. The body
was then in cask or hogshead Of lime water;
that Ahrens then asked the complainant whe-
ther he was willing to go to work and cut the
flesh from the bones, on receiving for his ser
vices one dollor day, which he consented to
do, and which task he completed in little
more than two days; that the flesh, the first
rainy night, was carried out Of the cellar and
thrown into the streets for the hogs to eat; that
there were several Of them about at the time,
and that none the flesh thus thrown into the
street was found the next morning; that while
at work in the cellar Ahrens told. him that the
body was that Of a rich woman; that complain
ant, after completing his task, received six
shiings in part payment for his labor, and that
the balance has never yet been paid. The ac-
cused parties will doubtless be arrested, and
the case investigated. .s.rft...
