He is the man who Was arrested in Hoboken q
week ago and sent up as vagrant to the peni-
tentiary for ninety Gays because he appeared
unable to take care OF bimself He was released
on the application OF Raefeid, friend, with
whom he is now staying.
Raefeld knew Osierman and his family in
Germany. When Osterman was arrested Il was
discovered that nearly 5000 in money and dia-
monds were sewed in the Innings of his clothes.
The money and diamonds still remain in charge
of the authorities
The released prisoner had gone only a short
distance with his friend when he became
frightened and wanted to return to his prison.
He refused to eat any breakfast silently passing
back his plate, but later il the day he drank
several glasses of milk. He nonplussed his
friends by his utter indifference TO The aLten-
tion shown him. He accepted what he pleased
without thanks and paid no attention TO what
he didn't want
About noon he appeared to wake out of his
lethargy, but only for few moments. During
that time he said he had been in this c0untry
fir year and half in San Francisco. Why he
left his home or what his experiences had been

Osterman's father has been cabled to. The
young man told the New Jersey officials that
he came to this country TO sell some machinery
for his father; that he had sid IL, got the

sharp trick alleged to have been played upon
c. A. A.Alisky by a real estate dealer who mulcted
the former out of S., ,000
The story goes that Alisky desired to dispose
of his Third and Morrison street property for
sl75,0 and bonded the same to the real estate
dealer. Several days thereafter a man, claim
ing to hail from Montana, called on Alisky and
offered him S200,090 for the property, and it is
alleged deposited forfeit OF $500
The real estate man holding the bond released
it upon receipt of 5000 from the owner of the
property, but the climax to the affair so far is
that the Montana man has not since been seen.
W. S. Ladd, the banker, was the first to put
his signature on the subscription to Hunts rail
way. The amount of his subscription is s501, Geo.

The Mystery Surrounding the Suicide of

The Mystery Surrounding the Suicide of
Helen Hirshbock.
SAN Francisco, March I0th.-Helen Hirsh-
book, rather handsome young German wo-
man was found dead yesterday morning in her
room at 426 Hayes street. All the crevices
about the door and windows were stuffed with
tissue paper and the gas jet was turned on full
head. 1t is supposed that some unfortunate
love affair caused her to take her own life. Two
of her most intimate friends say they know the
cause of her suicide, but refuse TO talk about
the matter until after the funeral.
Coroner Eaton held an inquest to day in the
case, but nothing new was elected Mrs. NJ
Harman, the landlady of the house where Miss
Hirshbock lived declined TO answer any qnes-
tions concerning the causes leading TO the sui
eide.
She acknowledged that she had been taken
into her roomer's confidence, but declined to
make any statement which would throw light
on the mystery.
Mrs Wiggin, another confidante of the de-
ceased, also proved TO be very reluctant wit
ness. She testified that Miss Hirshboek had
told her of the causes which might lead her to
commit suicide. What these causes were Mrs
Wiggin would not tell.
Coroner Eaton closely questioned both these
witnesses, as also did the jurors but they failed
to make them reveal anything which might
dispel the mystery surrounding the suicide.
The jury returned a verdict finding that the
deceased came 10 her de ath from gas poisoning,
but the cause Of the suicide was not aseertained.
