THE DAILY EVENING TELEGKAFII PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1870. tnHnmtd from Ifc. trt Pat. covered that the place was on flro, and, on at tempting to enter, found the door locked. A paocngo wns forced, the fire was cxtlnulnhcd, and then the full enormity of the crlrao was re vealed. The coffee of ttio old man and tho boy had apparently just been poured out, while Mrs. rclghtnt was In tho very act of pouring ont her own, when tho three had been confronted by their murderer. Tlio bodies lay upon tho floor, covered by tho burning mass. Those of Mr. Poifjbtal and tho boy were burnt to a crisp from the breast down, und, although the upper portions of all three had not been reached by tho flume?, their fucos were consider ably disfigured, and through tho head of each a pltttol ball had made Its murdorous way, the remains of Mrs. reli;htal giving evldonce of her Laving first been struck with some blunt Instru ment. The bloody work had been well done at the outset, and if the fire had not beon dis covered in time, the tragedy might well have passed for an accident. The Plunder obtained by tho murderers is supposed to have amounted to about $3000, three-fourths of which -was in gold and silver; but only a portion of It was cvor recovored. On the person of Bohnor was found $120, nearly all In greenbacks; aud 9540 were recovered from his companion, as explained below. In their search for it tho murderers bad broken open a chest, which was found in the kitchen, where the crime was com mitted, and afterwards ransacked the bureau in the parlor, in which they had found their booty. The Excitement Created by the Warder throughout the neighborhood was intense, and will not be abated until the culprits have suf fered the extreme penalty of the law which will be so soon meted out to them. Through the agency of this excitement the perpetrators were epecdily tracked and secured, The Arrest being made on the very day following the com mission of the crime, and the prisoners arriving at Huntingdon about noon on that day. They bad journeyed to this place on foot after the murder, arriving about half-past 3 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The time passed slowly, and olr nervousness attracted tho attention of thote who were present at the station. At half past 3 a train passed through the town, and on It they took passage to Altoona. Rumors of their having beon seen loitering about Pelghtal's place for two or three days gained credence as the night had worn on, and a messenger from Pleasant Grove reached Huntingdon in search of them but five minutes after the departure of the train. A warning was sent to Altoona, forty miles distant, by telegraph, and when the train reached that point the two culprits were taken Into custody and transported to Huntingdon on the first train. While awaiting the passage through Altoona of the returning train, the two prisoners had been confined in the lock-up, and Bodonbcrg embraced the opportunity to attempt an escape. Climbing down into the cesspool, he endeavored to dig a passage with his hands, and, falling in this, secreted there a razor bear ing tho name of Feightal, and three bags and a package of coin amounting in all to $430. In the bundle in his possession, when ho was arrested at Altoona, was found a roll of bills amounting to abont $110. Several articles of clothing, which had belonged to Mr. Pcightal, and a bill for a suit of clothes in his name, found upon the culprits at tho time of their arrest, also served to fasten the crime upon them. An Attempt to Escape. The prisoners remained in jail atHantlngdon, awaiting their trial, until January 14, when tho proceedings were commenced. On the socond day of the trial, an old German from Altoona, who had been subpoenaed for the defense, stepped into a hardware store and innocently Inquired for saws and files that would cut iron Suspicion was aroused, and, on information being sent to the Sheriff, tho prisoners were searched, and the evidence of a-project to escape revealed. Each was found in possession of a sharp-pointed, doublo-edged knife, ten Inches in length, while all the provisions which had been furnished them for several days pc vious were discovered carefully packed away in a haversack, ready for a long journey. There was also a note, written in German and evl dently intended to be left behind, stating that It was better for ono man to die than for two to be banged, and that they Intended to kill the guard that night and then make good their escape. Timely discovery of this scheme foiled it, and The Trial progressed, concluding on the 18th of January In a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. A large number of witnesses were ex amined, the course of the prisoners being traced, step by step, from Altoona to the scene of the tragedy, and back again to AItoona,where they bad beon arrested with their plunder. The court house was densely packed during the trial, and the utmost anxiety and interest wore mani fested by the whole community In its result. The Sentence of Heath was pronounced by the court on January 21, Bohner remaining quiet when asked if ho had anything to say why the extreme penalty of death should not be meted out to him, while Bodcnburg embraced the opportunity to assert his Innocence, and deny nil knowledge of the crime until be was informed of it at the time of bis arrest. About a week afterwards, how ever, be subscribed to a lengthy and rambling confession, the leading points of which have been noted. The Mecond Attempt to Rarnpe A llrsnerate I'lubl Noble Conduct of a Prisoner. Since the trial and conviction, and until very recently, both of tho men have evinced a dis position to obey the rules of tho prison, and to render themselves as comfortable as possible. This was particularly the case with Bodenberg, On Thursday last, however, the workmen had commenced work on the scaffold which was to launch the condemned men into eternity, and the sounds of their hammers and saws pene trated the walls of the prison. Bohner asked what was going on, and when be was informed that the carpenters were putting the gallows together, be manifested considerable agitation, On the evening of Thursday, it was necessary for both the Sheriff and bis deputy to be absent from their usual posts at the prison, and it is supposed that Bohner became converaaut with the tact, and laid his plans accordingly. Since their conviction the prisoners have not been allowed to leave their cells, and it therefore became necessary that the accumulated slops, etc., should be emptied I T.I t 1 , . every morning, mis worn was assign ea to a young man, who was a prisoner in the institution, by the name of Sylvester Butler, who executed bis task under the surveillance of the prison guard, Mr. David Long. On Friday morning last Mr. Young and the man Butler . visited tne cells together as usual, and com menced removing the pails. At this time Bohner was lying on bis bed, and nothing par tlcular was noticed except that be appeared in tomewbat better spirits than be bad been for the past week or two; but, as the sequel shows, I his lightness of heart arose from a far different I source than either Young or Butler Imagined. After passing the compllmonts of the mornlog, Butler took up the buckets and passed out of the corridor and down the stairs, while Young took up a broom and commenced to sweep the cell. All the while Bohner lay upon bis bed with eyes half closed, yet watching his chance to murder the guard and escape from prison and the gallows. At length the favorable moment came; the guard turned his back upon tho prisoner for a momont, and no sooner had be done so than Bohner sprang upen him with the force and ferocity of a tiger, knocking him against tho wall and rendering him momentarily senseless. No sooner had he done this than he bounded from the cell and made for the cot where ho knew tho Deputy Sheriff usually slept, and where a loaded pistol was kept beneath the pillow. He had scarcely reached the cot, which is situated at the top of the stairs and just out side of tho prisoners' corridor, before Mr. Young was upon blm, and then ensued a most desperate fight. It appears that Bohner had succeoded in taking a screw from his bedstead, and with that bad pried the handcuff from his left wrist, and then gathering the "darbies" into bis right hand, ho made them answer most effoctually in the place of "steel knuckles." Bohner being a much larger and more power ful man than Young, soon dashed the guard to the floor, but in doing so tripped and foil him self. In a moment Young was upon him, and then commenced a fight which, bnt for the timely arrival of Butler, would no doubt have cheated the gallows of one of its victims, since it is well known that nothing would have pre vented the prisoner's escape from the prison had be succeeded in silencing the guard. Bohner fought with the desperation of a mad man. He kicked, thumped, scratched, and bit, and did his utmost to blind Mr. Young by spit ting in his eyes. But Young was plncky, and held bis bold until tho arrival of Butlor on the scene armed with a large iron poker, which he laid over the head of Bohner until the latter gave up the fight from sheer exhaustion. 8ix large gashes crossed and laid his cranium open in different places, and the blood flowed down upon his face in a stream, almost blinding him. While Young gathered himself up and regained his breath, Butlor stood over the prisoner with the poker. At length he was put upon his feet and forced into bis cell. No sooner had an attempt been made to close the door upon him than his anger broke out afresh, and placing one band npon the door and his foot between the door and the jamb, he defied his keepers to shut him up Butler once more came to the rescue with the poker, and pounded tho prisoners foot so severely with that instrument that he withdrew it: the door was slammed shut, and Bohner lost tho end of one of his fingers by having it caught in the jamb. The news of the desperate attempt made by the prisoner soon spread through the town, and numbers of people visited the prison and prof fered their assistance. It was not needed. Mr, Young was not seriously hurt, and tho prisoner lay In his cell perfectly helpless. At first it was thought that his skull had been fractured, but a doctor soon after arriving, examined and dressed the wounds, and pronounced them severe bnt not decidedly dangerous. Since that time Bohner has remained in bed most of the time, and has little or nothing to say to any' body. He is now heavily ironed, and no fears are entertained as to his future movements, although he has defiantly sworn that, as it could make no difference to him under the present circumstances, he will do his utmost to escape, and will not hesitate to take a life to accomplish that end. During his fight with the guard, he snatched the keys of tho cells from the window-sill, and threw them into the cell of his companion, at the same time shouting for him (Bodenberg) to unlock his cell door, come out and help him. and both would soon be free. But Bodenberg either did not know how or did not care to take advantage of the situation, for during the whole affair, which occurred within a few feet of him, be neither made an effort to unlock tho door nor offered a word of encouragement to his struggling companion. Butler, the young man who so nobly assisted In overpowering the mnrdorer, is a native of this county, and is serving out a short term of imprisonment for a petty crime committed in one of the adjoining townships. Sheriff Neely, on hearing of the affair, immediately tendered Butler his discharge, but the young man pre fers remaining within the walls of the prison until after the execution shall have taken place, Gottlelb Bohner-Ilia Murderous Career. Bohner is a man about 5 feet 9 Inches high, of fine proportions, but a most diabolical visage. In manner he is reticent, and wnllo no is per fectly capable of understanding and making himself understood in English, yet what little he does say Is generally in German. From his own mouth I gather the information, which is no doubt true, that he was born in Wirtemburg, Germany, on the 15th of May, 1830. He has been blessed with a very fair education, and writes an excellent hand. According to his own statement ho has been directly concernod In the murder of no less than seven different people, including the Pelghtal family. His first murder was committed In Germany, at E (he refuses to state the place, and gives only the initial letter ot the name), where ho shot two men who, ho claims, were trespassing and poach ing on some property which ho was guarding His next exploit grew out of a love affair while he was an officer in tho Prussian army. From what ho says we are led to understand that a duel sprang up between him aud another officer on account of jealousy, and while he claims to have given his adversary the advantage of the first shot, yet he killed blm by putting a bullet Into bis heart. He was tried for this offense, but acquitted, and in 18G3 came to this country and enlisted In the 7th New York Volunteers. He says he was wouuded at the battle of Deop Bottom, Virginia, and after lying in the hospital at Cltr Point until the collapse of the Rebellion, be returned to New York with his regiment; and was honorably dls charged. He next proceeded to Philadelphia, where be spent a few weeks, but being unable to procure employment, he made bis way to Dudley, in this county, where he worked at what ever be could get to do. Whlb at this place be was arrested for robbery, tried, convicted, and sentenced to two, years in the Penitentiary. Unon beinar liberated from prison he worked a short time for the man whom be afserwards murdered, and on tht canal. On the subject of bis acquaintance with the Pelghtal family be is absolutely as dumb as an oyster. The "inter viewing" process Is lost upon blm, for no sooner do you touch npon that subject than bis lips are sealed, and not a word escapes. He claims to have been deeply in love at different times, but on every occasion was either jilted by his sweet heart, or cut out by some more attractive swain; therefore bo bold and def never married. In demeanor he Is defiant, and has frequently been heard to evince great surprise that so much excitement should bo occasioned by the simple "killing of two or three peoplo who were really of no use after all." From bis manner of delivering his remarks and the many contradictory statements which ho makes, I place little or no confidence In any thing that ho says. He Is thoroughly conversant 1th tho Bible, and doligbts In arguing against its toachings. He avos that Jesus never ex isted, and that Moses and tho other disciples are but myths. The most powerful Influences have been brought to bear upon him since bis sen tence to induce blm to embrace Christianity and to confess his crimes, but he scoffs at all overtures in that direction, and swoars that he will die if he can't help it as ho has lived, an infidel. Albert Ton Bodonberc. There is a marked contrast between Boden berg and his fellow-convict, Bohner. He was born at Hanover on the Rhine In 1839, and Is consequently now about thlrty-soven years of age. In suture he is short, moasuring only about five feet six and a half inches, but ho has a finely knit and muscular frame. He claims to have been educated for a school teacher, and to have filled the position of a principal in one of the schools In Holland. He also asserts that he is a thorough musician; but, with all these commendable attributes, bo appears to have fallon into bad habits while yet in his native country, and spent some two years of his iife in prison for carrying a few cases of silks through forbidden territory without mentioning the fact to the custom house authorities. He also as serts that he served in the Crimean war, and was interested in the Schleswlg-Holsteln emeute. After getting safely through the last mentioned affair, he attached himself to a high officer in the civil Government of Switzerland as secretary, whore he remained until 1800, when he thirsted for more freedom, and at once emigrated to the United States, landing in the city of New York in January. On landing In New York he was at once taken hold of by the emigrant runners, and before he escaped from their tenacious clutches ho was minus nearly a thousand dollars, which was all the money ho bad in the world. He at length found work in New York, afterwards proceeded to Philadelphia, and from thence made a tour through different portions of the State, bringing up finally at Altoona in May, 1809. Here he made tho acquaintance of Bob ner. Tho couple have been together off and on ever since, and are likely to continue together forever more Bodenberg has a rather prepossessing face and is allablo and polite to all who come in contact with him. He appears to feel most deeply his situation, and to have a perfect appreciation of his condition. He, like Bohner, has been in love, and tho lady with whom he boarded while at Altoona manifests a most tender regard for him, which appears to be reciprocated by the unfortunate criminal. He spends most of bis time in writing and reading bis Bible, and man! fests the most profound respect for his spiritual attendant, the Rev. Dr. Stoeckel, of the German Reformed Church Another Cont'ennlon by Bodenbnra lie Throws ine huuic xdiuk on Moaner. Last week Bodenbor Indulged in still another confession, which was made at the earnest so licitation of the Rev. Mr. StoeckcLwho, unlike a majority of the citizens of this section, places implicit confidence in it. The man "Charley" referred to in it is Bohner, who assumed the namo of sVCharley Moohr" for prudential rea sons, after he had been liberated from prison in this place some two years since. The confession reads as follows: "Every one acquainted with our affair will recol lect that we had a whisk? bottle. From the time we came awaj from that plact to Uuntingdon I did not sue nor near any more about it. Had at different tluieB intended to ask Charley, but never ctine so far. On the linn of February, as I was lying on my bed in my cell thinking over oar affairs, how great a misfortune U few drinks of whisky might brlug about; 1 also in this connection came to think of our bottle: I rose up and asueo unaiiey wnai nad be come of our bottle.

I then tied up the paiusloons and other pieces of ammrel: took this bundle to tne barn; took naoK two bundles of straw and spread It over tho three persous. Then I fcUihed the bed covers aud bed clothes out of the sleeping room where I got the miinm and unread them also over these persons. In one room stood a bed and small table.

This is all I could dud out from Charley. He told me, as he naturally would, that I should not. say anything to anybody. Neither is It likely that he will confess to what I have said should be be uni- ed, nor to the truth la any particular; for s muu who says the whole Bible is a falsehood will a Wo avoid telling fctte truth. 8o It Is with Carlej ; and this is my misfortune, for, had -r he confessed the troth, I could not bare been fonnif guilty for the piinlhtnnt of death. This I ld the first day I wns brought to Jail, that I was not guilty" of this murder, and also that I know nothing of it nntu rame to Altoona; and sol will hare to say still at the last morning when 1 will be taken down Into the yard to bt hung." The .lull. The jail In which the prisoners arc confined is a miserably arrangod and rickety structure. Tho front of tho b, lldmg is occupied by tho Sheriff and his family, and un.e-i you enter at the side gate, leading to the prison yard, there is no way of getting Into tho Institution except through the Sheriff's apartments. Passing through the dwelling house, and thence up a pair of stairs, you are ushered into an autl corrldor running off from the stairway, and in adjoining colls, fronting on this little space, are the colls of tho murderers. From Bodonberg's cell a view of the new scaffold can be obtained, and this man watches it with intense interest. Bohner, stiff and sore from the effects of his ter rific fight of Friday, lies in bod most of the time, and appears to be completely lost to every thing surrounding him. The Sheriff, as well as the citizens generally, complain of the un safe condition of the prisoners, and the meagre accommodations. If half be true that I hear, the expenditure of four thousand dollars for a new, more secure, and commodious Institution would be money most judiciously expended. The Hflaflold. In a llttlo cramped and cluttered-up space of ground, in the rear and adjoining the prison, which is called the "prison yard" and which is surrounded by a high stone will, the scaffold is erected. It is composed of four upright posts over twenty feet high, planted firmly in the ground, with a platform on which the trap or drop Is arranged, about ten feet below the beam, which holds the scaffold together at the top and serves to fasten the halters to. Tho "drop" will have a fall of eighteen inches. The reason assigned for building the scaffold so much higher than Is usual is that it Is the desire of the authorities that those who are unable to gain admission to the yard shall have an opportunity to see all that is going on from the outside. The object has most certainly been attained. Looming up over the prison walls, and standing out in bold relief against the sombre sides of the prison, can be seen the naked white timbers of the instrument of death. In itself this is nothing, but when the attendant circumstances are considered and brought before the mind's eyo, with that force which nothing save imagination can lend, the sight is truly horrifying. i How the Prisoners Fare. , Sheriff Nocly and his deputy are indefati gable in their efforts to have evorythljg as it should be. The prisoners are provided with the best that the prison affords, and thus far they have eaten most heartily. The Excitement Anions the People. The execution of these two men will bo the third affair of the kind that ever took place in this county. The last execution took place about thirty years ago. To a person who has not been here und move I arouud among the people, the condition of the public mind cannot be imagined. The most intense feeling exists in every quarrer against the men, and I verily believe that should any accident occur which would prevent the execution of these men at the time set, the people would rise cn maxse and bang the prisoners to tho first tree. The execution has been the staple topic of conver sation for the past two weeks In every circle, andthoBe who reside in the back country have deferred their usual visits to town until Wed nesday, that they miy have an opportunity "to be in at the death." The Arrangements tor the Execution. The arrangements for the execution are almost perfected. A strong guard will be on hand at the prison to prevent any disorder and to pre vent the escape of the prisoners should either one make an effort in that direction. Arrange ments bavs also been made to accommodate as many persons as possible within the prison yard on the day of the execution, and a jam may be confidently looked for. The disciples of Mr. Boveo are rather scarce in this section, for I am informed by Judge Taylor, .who has held the position of law judge for this judicial district for the past twenty-one years, that it is very seldom be finds a man who comes before him as a juryman who has any scruples as to capital punishment.
