CASTLE GARDEN MYSTERY.
Immigrant Who Was Killed for His
Money.

New York, Nov. 14.-A Washington
dispatch to the Tribune says: There is
Much mystery at the New York barge
office. About four months ago a young
man complained to the authorities at
Washington that his father, an immi-
grant just arrived, had disappeared
while detained at New York. An inves-
tlgation by inspectors from the treas
ury department has resulted in the dis
covery Of a mans body concealed in the
barge Office. The body is beyond identi-
ftcation but is believed to be that of the
man who disappeared. That the crime
OF murder was committed by an employe
OF the national government is not doubt
ed by officials. They are, however,
powerless to fix the crime on anyone
and the matter is likely to be dropped.
The report of the inspectors in the
case, as well as all information con-
cerning the mystery is withheld at
refusals to divulge anything about the
affair. The father Of the young man had
some money and it is believed this led to
his murder.
An assistant secretary Of the treasury
will probably make statement regard
ing the matter. The substance of the
above dispatch was told Inspector Nc
Sweeny and he said the story was abso-
lutely untrue. He continued:
Il know of no mystery at the barge
found there would have known it. A
body could not be concealed there.
lsidore Termini, an Italian, aged 65
years, who came to this country as an
immigrant last spring, has been missing
since he reached this port. How he dis
appeared I do not know. My theory is
that he arrived and that he was put
aboard the railway barge instead of the
one bound for Ellis Island. The rail-
way barge carries immigrants who have
been released and who are bound up the
state to the place where they are ito take
a train to reach their destination If the
man got on a train he probably was put
off somewhere between here and Buffalo,
as he had no ticket and no money to buy
one. We have tried to learn the where
about of the man and have failed
