man." which he denied, stating that he was a
Frenchman. He was then taken to the Station
House and locked up. Mrs. Oolan, the mother
of Mrs. Keating, was sent for, and upon her
arrival Immediately Identified the prisoner.
Since yesterday we have obtained the follow

Yesterday Mrs. Dolan, mother of Elizabeth,
one OF the victims, came to the city, and from
her much information oil an interesting charac-
ter was obtained. In regard to the missing

Mr. Deering last tail, and that his sullenness
and unsocal disposition made him generally
disliked. The repugnance OF Mrs. Deering Co
him was SO great that she prevailed upon her
husband to discharge him. He only returned
a few weeks ago, and stated TO Mr.. Deering that
he had been to Germany, and that he had re-
turned to this country in consequence OF not
being able to get employment, As he was out
OF money he offered to work for his board If he
were taken in. He was engaged at ten dollars
a month, which sum he was to receive until
times were better. She says that her daughter

time before he did.
The name OF the German has not been ascer.

always heard him called Antony A receipt
was found among the papers OF Mr.. Deering
bearing his supposed name. 1t reads as fol.
lows:-

1t is quite evident that this receipt was never
written by German. As to the present where
abouts CT tt is man we are unable to conjecture.

We have ascertained other facts as to the
whereabouts of Mr.. Deering on Saturday
morning, the day he was last seen. Detective
Iryou visited the Wharton market, on Moya-
mensing avenue, yesterday, to find out the
person from whom Mr.. Deerlng purchased his
meat. This was soon ascertaned to be Mrs.
GreenWll, who, upon being questioned,
stated that MI. Deering came to her stall on
Saturday morning, and bought six pounds of
beef at fifteen cents per pound; that while
she was attending to him, he pulled out
splendid gold watch and chain after looking
at it. he said it was about o'clock, and he
had to stop at Mr.. Mitchells, and then be at the
steamboat landing by eleven to meet his cousin
who was coming down from Burlington. She

chain with him. These articles we're not found
upon his body nor in the house. Mr.. Mitchell
corroborates the evidence ds to Mr.. Deering
having stopped at his house on Saturday morn
ing. No one has yet been found who saw him
after he LETT Mr. Mitchell. In regard to the
muddy shoes found in the house, they belonged
to Mr. Deering instead OF the German, as was at
first supposed. Several persons TO whom they
were shown, at once said they were "Chrlssy's
clogs"

ploded on the 6rst floor of the building in which
the bodies had been placed. The cotfins CON
tanning their remains were upon the second
