In the Supplement Of to-day will be found full
and Interesting account Of the horrible secret mur
der committed at West Hoboken on Friday even.
ing, and discovered on Saturday morning. The
Uhie spot in the elegant engraving above will point
out to the reader the exact spot where the body
found, in an almost north northwest direction from
the centre of New York and Hoboken ferry. Since
then, the trunks Of the young man who was ar
rested, have been examined by officers McGrath
and Staunton, and pair of black pantaloons,
which were spotted with marsh mud resembling
that in the vicinity of the scene Of the murder,
were found; also shirt bosom, bearing the
marks Of the clenched hand Of person who had
torn 1t from its place in an apparent struggle.
There was also small quantity of loose powder
found in his trunk and several red silk pocket hand
kerchiefs, which peculiarly corresponds with the
color of that seen in the hands of the man wiping
his pantaloonssat the time of the reportof the pistol
at o'clock on Friday afternoon


These circumstances, combined with the strange
and peculiar conduct Of the accused when he was
brought in presence Of the body on Saturday, will
compel Coroner BENSON to commit him for trial,
unless his eminent counsel, Il. v. X. WRIGHT,
Esq., presents the defence in which we understand
he is able to show that the accused was in the city
OF New York from the hours Of o'clock, p. NJ,





until in the evening on Friday afternoon the time
at which the murder is alleged to have been COM
mitted. The accused is now in the custody Of Cor
oner BENSON, who will commence the investigation
at Jersey City, this mornings at IL o'clock. The name
Of the accused is p F. D. MENaEs, young Ger.
man, who has been in this country but a few weeks,
but during that time has been particularly intimate
with the deceased, and has, by this intimacy, OBJ.
tanned perfect knowledge of his pecuniary cir
cumstances. From evidence presented before Die
trlct Attorney HARDENBERG, it has been shown that
the accused arrived in this city few weeks since,
and from expressions made by him during the voy.
age, 1t is presumed that the deceased had about
1000 marks, $500 in gold, in his possession at the
time he was murdered, as well as his gold watch
and chain.


Not a cent was found in the trunks Of deceased
at the house he lodged, in Dey street, and it is
therefore to be presumed that he had either been
induced to take this money 10 change into bills OF
that he always carried it about him. The supple.
ment contains particulars Of the day previous.
