AHoboken sensation.

New York, September 14.-Hoboken has
a sensation, and with it Is revived come OF
the facts concerning an atroclous murder.
The wife of Theodore Scherer, the keeper OF
hotel on Christopher street, near West, IN
this city, was an important witness at the
trial of Martin Kinkowski, the murderer OF
Nina Muller Her husband, in whose house
the trunks were found, was too i'll to attend.
Scherer died shortly after the conviction.
His widow was the widow OF Mr.. Bein, TO
whom she was united about three years ago.
After her second husbands demise she fell
desperately in love with Charles Parker,
handsome young fellow and favorite IN
Hoboken society. The widow Is not yet
thirty-five and still possesses some beauty.
Parker apparently reciprocated the attec-
ton. and became a regular visitor at
her hotel He finally persuaded her to move
TO Hoboken that she might be nearer to him,
and she willingly disposed OF her property,
and, with a snug sum OF money, ABOUT Slo,-
600, engaged rooms in a fashionable board
inghouse on Park avenue. She herself tells
the rest of the story. She says about March
1st she and Parker agreed to be married:
but he, accorning to her statement, was not
DISPOSED to wed her until he was in BUSH
ness and would in no wise be dependent upon
her bounty. This pleased the widow, and
she was willing to wait Shortly after this
Parker informed her Of a brilliant opportu-
nity to make a fortune. 1t was the purchase
of glass lettering establishment at No. AZ
Chambers street, this city. She was ready TO
aid him in making the purchase, and adj
vanced him $1,000, but being shrewd wo-
man she loaned the amount with the under
standing that he was to have the business
assigned to her, Several smaller loans were
obtained, raising her lovers Indebtedness to
$500. She tarried long and many dates
were assigned for the marriage, but when
they arrived he would give some plausible
reason why the ceremony ought to be still
further delayed. She finally grew im-
patien. as his visits became less fire.
auent. She made inquiry, and ascer-
tanning that he had not had the busi-
ness he purchased assigned TO her, she made
this the basis of an acton to bring him 10
| terms. On Saturday last she applied 10
/ Justice Rusch, of Hoboken, for warrant,
alleging that Parker had obtained money
from her under false pretenses. 10 court the
widow was willing to withdrsI the COM
