the body of his victim would not be dis
covered in the dark cellar for a number
of days at least, and with the intention
of creating the impression that the wo-
man had run off, thereby delaying close
search Of the premises until the murderer
had got vel away from the city.
The cunningness of Mihaley, if he be
the murderer, is also shown by the fact
that when he changed his name on ac-
count of being wanted by the Buffalo
police, he took name that would bear
the two initials tattooed on his arm.
His description has been widely tele-
graphed, and the police have no doubt
that he with be soon apprehended.
Nearly all the boarders were at work
yesterday. Mihaley and another board
er remained at home This other board
er was sent by .Mihaley on an errand,
and when he returned he was surprised
TO find the house locked up. He waited
until the husband and othed boarders re-
turned home at night.
Anton Charles, the boarder who dis
covered the body in the cellar. was ar
rested by Captain Cummings last night
and held as witness by Police Justice
Manning in the Second Criminal Court
this morning.

isade avenue, was married to Mr.. Fred
Halsted, also of PaIisade avenue, byt
the Rev. Duncan Jenns, of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of Ascension, on Sat
urday night last.
The wedding was a surprise to Miss
Warnecke's parents, and the usual par
entail blessings are said to have been
withheld. When she left home on Sat
urday evening last she said she was go
ing to the annual reception Of Court Og-
den, Foresters of America. at Pohlmann's
and that she would be accompanied by
Mr.. Halsted. The young couple had been
engaged for some time and nothing un-
usual was thought of the young lady's
announcement that Mr.. Halsted would
accompany her.
The couple met and soon after entered
coach that had been secured at a
neighboring livery stable. The coach was
whirled around to the home of Rev.Jenns
and the marriage ceremony performed.
Then the young couple went to the re-
ception, where numerous friends who had
