On the 2C!li ilay of July I'rnncl.s Plnlip Itgen
went to Newatk, and, tinder ttio attumed name of
Hoffman, hired a sma.l room of Mr. S. Gurlachy,
who kept a boarding-bouse at HO Wellington
street. He bad, apparcnlly, no business, and spent
much of hla time In a saloon, plajlng on the piano.
He was believed to be " strange." He eild that be
lad come from Pittsburgh, Pa., where It wat hit
Mention to purchase a farm. II added that he waa
an cigan maker, but had glrea up work. !iicn he
first appeared In Newark he had 50 In money Ho
remained about two months at Mr. Gurtschy'a, tnd
boarded himself. He visited New Ycrk sevcul
times, and each time relumed with f23 In money,
which, he said, he had drawn from abunk. Tlc
he received letters from New York, He had but ono
suit of clotbet, and
uvr.D vxitr sc.ttitT.
In the saloon attached to h.t hoarding house he
formed the acquaintance ol AJolpb Febentner, a
shoemaker, who occuplod a room adjoining Us.
Adolph tnd llien became very Intlmalc, and were
much together. One day Adolph told llgen that he
wat dissatisfied wltn Ida boarding house. Then he
perauaded Ilcen to engage a room In the garret ot
112 North Canal atrcet, as ho could hire It tor 2 a
month, while he wis tneu paying f5 a month.
Accordingly, en the 15th of September, llgen moved
tu 112 North Canal street, wheie he had a front gar
ret bedroom, "ill fret, whose ceiling Is about six
frit In height, A window, Hx'W lucbct, let In light
and air.
Wiiil rooming there llgen told ttve al rersons
that l.lt wile and children were dead, requesting ir
any letters ahculd come there fnr Mr. llorf n.n. that
they should bt then to hltn Snortly afierwurd be
dyed Ms hair and shaved off his beard, and on seve

la not known, for he ate very little, and at two dif
ferent timet borrowed fllty cents of shoemaker
Adolph.
On the 16th of November, llgen wat fonnd dead In
hla room. On the night previous the weather waa
er cold, aud aa Here waa ao store-pipe hole In
his room, II It belieied mat he kindled a fire In his
small furnace atove, aa piecca of Charcot! were
foond on tbe floor, and that the fumes of the char
coal killed biro, Dr. Dodd viewed tbe body, and
granted a ccrtlflcat or burial, believing that llaen
died or apoplexy.
1 be enceuiaker Adolph then went to Brooklyn to
work and becam acquainted with Mra. llgtn, who
resided In New York.
On tbe day following Ilren'e death,

ofnee of the Knickerbocker Lit Insurance Com

on her bushand'a llle. She then called at the office
of the Amicable Life Insurance Company, and there
demanded ta.OUO. Th companies inspected that
something wa wrong, luaimurb aa Mn. llgen'a
previous husband, whose III waa Insured, died very
suddenly. Accordingly they sent their atenta lo
Newark, and the reaialns ol Mr. lUen were disin
terred, and the stomach wat nmoved for the purpose
of having a thoronth aual, Ileal examination, but the
remits of the examination have not yet been made

exact cause of the sudden rnptur Is not known;
but It Is rumored that tho selection of Gen. l'lca-on-ton
for Internal Ilevenue Commissioner, overjlhe re
commendation of Secretary Uoutwell for Judgo
ltlchardson or Mr. Douglass, and the studied omis
sion to consult the K-cistary's wlsliis concerning

while the tact ot hit declining to sup, or t the Si.
