Mrs Marks acknowledges that she received
rom Mr.. Fellner as indemnity for the injury he
lid to her sister the sum of 10000 francs and
Adolph Swenzer and his wife, who had been
inmates of the house in Carroll street. Brooklyn
Itste that they received from Mrs. Marks two
900 frame notes as hush money, to prevent them
revealing what they knew Of the matter
1t also appears that Mrs, Marks and her sister
have been missing from their boarding house, IN
East Broadway till within the last day or Two.
They represent that they had been visiting some |
friends at Yonkers but upon the inquiry being |
mnde, this story proves to be false.
A sword-cane was found in the Eysian Fields,
lloboken, on Sunday night last, which 1t is
thought may have some connection with this
horrible tragedy.
1t has also been discovered that some of the
diamonds were sold to a jeweller in Nassau st.
One Of the Custom House officers who exam
ined the baggage of Mr.. Fellner as lie landed
from the steamship Bavaria, says that he had
valise filed with rouleaux Of gold specie.
Radelzsky, who is supposed to have been the
principal in this murder, is at large. On Thurs
day evening the officers in pursuit were within
few yards of him, but by some means he
eluded them, and he had not turned up at a late
hour last night. They have. however, resorted
to the usual methods for notifying the police
generally here and elsewhere, SO that his capture
is certain.
Radeizsky is twenty-five years of age, is
Polish jew, is of dark complexion, short hair,
aud thin mustache.
The parties now under arrest are Mrs Marks,

Accordingly, Detectives Bennett and McDougal
took charge of the females, and they were soon
safely locked up in different cells Of the station
house. Albertina expressed some apprehension
at being kept removed from her sister, and ap-
