NRw YoRK, April S.-Emil DauEiger,
who, with his brother Adolph, had been
detained in the station house to assist the
police In their search flr other parties,
said to-day: ! know Sagert very well,
He roomed with my brother, who ad.
VAnCed him some money which belonged
TO me. He left Germany last summer
with $500 and large quantity oil etchipgs
and engraving which had been given to
him by his iSther, who sent him to this
country, to start him In business, When
he arrived his money was all gone, having
Fpent Ii In Liverpool and on his voyage.
The pictures he disposed ol Tor small lsums
10 sobln 4 Son, Of Nassau street. Having
quickly disposed Of the money thus re.
Ceived, he peddled pencils around
the streets until he received an
other invoice OF goods from his
father. These he sold also Tor triaing
sum. He next received consignment Of
valuable old etChlnHs from Louis Bihu, OF
Paris, on which he expected to realize o
handsome profit. He made the acquAint.
ance OF sChauss, ,Knoedleo, Kepple and all
first class picture dealers In the city, all
OF whom refused 70 purchase the goods.
He then sent the etchings to Bangs
& Co., auctioneers, who disposed ol them
at sum which barely paid the expenses
OF transportation. Sagert then led an
idle life, subsisting on the charity Of his
friends and the meagre remiltanCes sent
him by his father and uncle. A few days
ago he told me he had hired rooms on
East FiltyseCond street, and which he
said were intended for his promised brids,
who was expected on the next steamer.
At the same time he told my brother
Adolph he had hired the rooms
for the purpose oI ConCealing
Rosa Strasburger, whom he intended
10 abduct and demand 5000 for her re-
turn. He said he was to hire q carriage at
q livery stable In Eldridge street. Yogel
was 10 drive the carriage and he was to
snatch the child on her way from school.
He was to keep the child for one night
In the apartment hired, and II
