NEwARK's GARRETT MYSTERY.

The Hgen Inquest at Newark-The Veil Of
Secrecy Still Thrown Around It-Adjourn-
ment Till Saturday.
The coroners inquest now being held secretly by
Coroner Chase, In Newark, touching the death Of
Franz Philip Ilgen, about whose mysterious disap-
pearance from this planet particulars appeared
long ago in the HERALD, forms one OF the chief
topics Of discussion in that city, and great anxiety
Is felt in the probable result Of the inquisition.
After being In session for full six days the latter
adjourned yesterday till Saturday morning, when
the examination Of witnesses will be resumed.
The testimony already taken covers over one hun
dred pages Of legal cap and Coroner Chase says he
Is not sure but nearly as much more will be re-
CURED The fact that the Two parties at first solely
suspected in the matter are now under surveillance
would seem to make unnecessary for the further
ence Of
THE ENDS OF JUSTICE,
but still the authorities claim to have excellent
reasons for withholding the testimony from the pub
lie until the close Of the investigation. "Why SIR"
said Coroner Chase to the HERALD representative,
SIT would spoil all my toll for six days and parity
nights, as well that Of jury, to have you come
out in the HERA LID tomorrow with certain parts Of
the evlden ce we have taken. There are other
parties that we want to get at besides
Mrs. Ilgen ana the shoemaker, Adolph, whose
II you mentioned their mes they would be OF like
streak of creased Jersey lightning.n The reporter
suggested that, was very often the case the pub
ing the mystery: but MIR. Chase was inexoraDle.
The HERALD went all over the world, and he did not
want much said about the matter In the meantime.
All the way from Illinois q man had come and told
him he knew all about the matter; he had read 1t
In the NEW YORK HERALD days before. The Shoe
maker has been
RELEASED FROM CUSTODY,
though he is stlll held under bonds to appear next
| Saturday. Mrs. llgen mas been entirely released
| from custody also. though she IS kept under sur
she 4 Woman ea dars e. on
| prime OF life. she has had only Two husoands,'
instead Of three as previously reported. TO
gen she was ner mar 1@a st loar
lived happily with hlm. He was IN me insurance
BUSINESS and the 10th Of last June left his home
| In New York, having with him 5000 or $780, he
| farm.
She further says tina. she used oil posi- Bile EFFORTS TO
discover his whereabouts but IL was not I'LL she saw
the account his death In the papers that che knew
or it where he was. And still further she afflrms
| that her acquaintance with Adolph, the shoemaker
| was only after Igen's decea5e.
1t now appears that
| OF the deceased has not been taken TO New YORK,
but still in possession OF the county physician, Dr.
Dodd it is SAID that the price asked by Professor
D0remus 1000 for making an analytical examina-
ton fairly staggered the Newark authorities, and
they decided 10 see how they couid get along Will
| out the Professor Coroner Chase thinks 1t Is
! A INDUSTRIOUS OUTRAGE
on his jurymen that the law, as 1t now stands, will
only allow each OF them twenty-five cent stamp for
| his services, though they have been six days
in close attendance, and may perhaps, be Blk more.
He purposes using all his efforts to have the law
changed at the next session OF the Legislature. he
complains too, Of the manner IN which he has been
| treated by the Newark police detectives. He says
they will do nothing for nothing, and ~ the law al
lows nothing be can give nothing.
