OF THE PROPERTY RECOVERED.

sources of terrible crime, victory over bahmg cir
cumstances, perhaps as deserving Of credit as any Of
their previous triumphs. The first ntmation of the
finding of the body of Mr. Fellner appeared in THE
TRIBUNE OH the afternoon of Friday, the 18th of DC
tober. gentleman resding in this city, who had been
charged to some extent with the care OF friend just
arrived from Germany, went to Middletown to view
the body, and identified it, and on Monday gave in
formation at Police Headquarters. On Monday after
Detectives Farley and Tieman get out on an al
most hopeless voyage of discovery but their work
has been crowned with success the following cir
cumstances will reveal.
1t appears that on board the steamship Bavaria,
which bore the ill-fated Mr.. Fellner 20 this city,
there were among the passengers two ladies' Polish
Jewesses, their names being Mrs. Marks and her
sister, Miss Albertina Flaum, who must have been
steeage passengers, rs their names not given in
the published list. At any rate they made the ac-
quaintance of Mr.. Fener, and became very intimate,
80 much 50 as to be noticeable on the passage Upon
their arrival in this city, Slr Felner proceeded to
the Prescott House, and the ladies named went to
reside at a boarding house, No. Is East Broadway.
The following day Mr.. i. made the acquaintance OF
gentleman in the Prescott House, to whom he con-
ded no small share Of information to his business
in the city, and undoubed ntimationS Of his actual
wealth Immediately available. Two days after the
arrival, Mrs. Marks and her sister called upon Mr.
F. at the Prescott House, and remained with him for
some time. day or two after that visit, it appears
that Mrs. Marks called at the Prescott House alone and
saw Mr.. Felner in his room, the door Of which she
locked after entering. Here she is said to have
drawn stilletto upon Mr. f., threatening to kill
him for having, as she alleged, bad improper in
tercourse with her sister, Albertna Flaum. On this
momentous occasion it is said that Mr.. F., in some
manner, appessed the angry and deeply offended
lady, and she left. Almost Immediately thereafter
Mr. Fellner took recourse TO the counsel of his
newly-made confidential gentlemanly friend, as TO
how be must get out of bis scrape with certain
ladies who had come over TO this country on the
same steamer with him." This young men sympa-
thized with him deeply, and at once advised him to
20 to private boarding place, to leave the hotel at
once. and 10 get out Of the way Of the female in-
truders. He suggested that the house he resided in
would be I'll avail bic place-No. Carroll street,
South Brooklyn. Accordingly, Mr.. +. decided that
he would move and was about to order a carriage to
convey him and his baggage tbitber, but the young
friend objected stating that the distance was short
aud that man would be abundantly able to carry
the trunk, aud they could walk. This plan was
adoped, and man was called in from the street to
act AZ porter From that time to the finding OF his
body in the water near Applegate's Landing, ~ D.,
nothing had been seen of Mr.. Fener by the proprie
tors of the Prescott House.
II appears, however, that they went TO the house
referred to- No Carroll street. in Brooklyn, the
18th of October. There he remained for day or
two and on the Goth disappeared in company with
Mr.. Radetzsky, the young man in whom he had con-
f6ed so closely. Rsdetzsky, it is said, was in the
2sth Regiment n. Y. Volunteers, which served at
the seat Of war for three months. On the 2sth, Mr.
D. Lebenthall called at the Detective Police Office,
in Elm street. and gave the Information relative to
his having identified the body Of Sigismund Fellner,
at Hddletown, N. j., and that he had been informed
in letter from the friends Of deceased in Europe
that he had with him large amount Of money and
diamonds.
Upon investigation of the yes. of the deceased it
was discovered that be had received nineteen distinct
stabs on the left breast within area of four inches
each stab being of tself Sucet to cause nstanAne-
ous death. A handkerchief was also fund In the
pocket Of deceased bearing the initials Of Miss Faum
After the appearance of the report Of the Coroners
inquest in the paper Of Saturday, Mrs. Marks and
her sister became the victims Of uneasiness and
Monday wen. to Radetzskys boarding place in South
Brooklyn, where the trunk and other baggage Of de-
eea.ed still remained, and requested the keeper of
the house to permit them TO examine Mr. Fellner's
trunk for letters which they represented wonid in-
plicate the good name Of Miss Faum. They accord
ingly went to tho room where the trunk was and
IT, taking whatever they pleased and leay
ing.
Mrs. Marks acknowledges that she received from
Mr. Felner as indemnity for the injury he did to her
sister the sum Of 90 900 francs and Adolph Swenzer
and hs wife, who had been inmates Of the house in
Carroll street, Brooklyn, state that they received
from Mrs.. Marks two 1000 franc notes as hush
money, to prevent them revealing what they knew
Of the matter.
IL also appears that Mrs Marks and her sister have
been missing from their clearinghouse, in East
Brosdway, till within the last day or two. They
represent that they had been visiting some friends at
Yonken but upon the inquiry being made, this story
proves to be false.
A sword-cane was found in the Elysian fields, Ho-
boken, on Sunday night last which it is thought may
have some connection with this horrible tragedy.
1t has also been discovered that some Of the dia-
monds were sold to jewe Ter in Nassau street.
One Of the Custom-iIouse officers who examined
the baggage of Mr.. Felner, as he landed from the
steamship Bavaria, says that he had valiss filled
with rouleaux OF gold specie.
Radetzsky, who is supposed to have been the prn-
cipal in this murder, is still at large. On Thurs
day evening the officers in pursuit were within a
few yards Of him, but by some means he eluded
them, and he had not turned up at late hour last
