The first intimaton of .he finding of the body oil
Mr. Fellner appeared on the afternoon Of Friday
the 25th OF October A gentleman residing ia
this city, who had beou charged TO some extent
with the care OF a friend just arrived from Ger.
many, went to Mijdletown to view the body and
identified it, and on Monday gave information at
Police Headquarters. On Monday afternoon,
Detectives Farley and Tieman set cut on an
almost hopeless voyage OF discovery, but their
work has been crowned with success, as the fol-
lowing circumstances will reveal.
1t appears that on board the steamship Bava-
ria, which bore the Inflated Mr.. Felner to this
city, there were among the passengers two ladies'
Polish Jewesses their names being Mrs. Marks,
and her sister, Miss Albertins Flaum who must
have been steerage passengers, their names
are not given in the published list. At any rate
they made the acquaintance of Mr. Fellner, and
became very intimate, 30 much so as to be no.
tlcable on the passage Upon their arrival in
this city MIR. Fellner proceeded to the Prescott
House, and the ladies named went to reside ut a
boarding house. No. 40 East Broadway. The
following day Mr., +. made the acquaintance of
gentleman in the Prescott House, to whom he
cOnfded no small share Of information as to his
business in the city, and undOubted intimations
OF his actual wealth Immediately available Two
days after the arrival Mrs. Marks aud her sister
called upon Mr.. f. at the Prescott House. nnd
remained with him for some time. A day or
two after TINT visit it appears 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 n
stetio upon Mr.. F.. threatening to kill him for
having, as she alleged, had improper intercourse
with her sister, Albertina Flaum. On this mo-
mentous occasion it is said that Mr.. r., in some
manner, appeased the angry aud deeply offended
lady, aud she left. Almost Immediately there
after Mr.. Felner took recourse to the counsel of
his newly made confidential gentleman friend.
as to how he must get out Of his scrape with
certain "ades who had come over TO this
country on the same steamer with him. This
young man eympathized with him deeply, and
at once advised him to go to a private boarding
place, 10 leave the hotel at once, and get out Of
the way of the female intruders. lie suggested
that the house be resided in would be an ayaila.

Accordingly Mr.. +. decided that he would move
and was about to order carriage to convey him
and his baggage thither, but the young friend
objected, stating that the distance was short aud
that man would be abundantly able to carry
the trunk, and they could walk. This plan was
adopted, and man was called in from the street
to act as porter. From that time to the finding
of his body in the water near Applegate's Land
ing, N. j., nothing had been seen of MIR. Fellner
by the proprietors of the Prescott House.
1t appears, however, that they went to the
house referred to, No. Carroll street, in Brook.

for a day or two, and on the 10th disappeared in

New York Volunteers, which served at the seat

Lebenthall called at the Detective Police Office,
in Elm street, and gave the information relative

been informed in a letter from the friends of the

amount Of money and diamonds.
Upon investigation of the vest of the deceased,
it was discovered that he had received nineteen
distinct stabs on the left breast within an area
Of four inches, each stab being Of itself sufIi.
cient to cause instantaneous death A hand
kerchief was also found In the pocket Of deceased
bearing the initials of Miss Flaum.
After the appearance Of the report Of the
Corouer's inquest in the paper Of Saturday,
Mrs. Marks and her sister became the victims Of
uneasness, and on Monday went to Raietzkys
boarding place in South Brooklyn, where the
trunk and other baggage Of deceased still re-
mained, and requested the keeper Of the house |
to permit them to examine Mr.. Felner's trunk |
