Two only havo been hung. John K. Lovering ;md James 13. Carpi nter, are the only persons hung w ithin ths limits of the county. Nei th . tho two murderers were na tives or long residents of Juniata. Lovering murdered Henry Aucker of Fiiy. tte township fr money about c'uht o'clock on the evening of March 1. IS U, and was hung bv Sheriff James Hamilton in the Miftlintown ja ' h January J, 1M12. He had iv. o accomplices, a man named Howd er, i.is brother in law, and a man nam ed Zimmerman who was the schem rr iu tho marder plot. Howder was with Lovering when the deed was done. The accomplices served each a term in prison. L.ivenng in his confession tells how he killed Aucker as follows. . fore we entered the house we past and looked in at the south .n. low. We stood at the west gable ud for some time. Towards the last we made the effort to go into the house, but the dog seemed to sar mie our errand, and was not willing to let us stl'ect an entrance. Howd er ho'vever took the lead, and knock- : ... the door which was fastened, it was opened by Miss Anna McEl I'y. gruiid daughter of Mr. Aucker, and I bolted in followed by Howder. I went after the little girl through the kitchen, into a sitting room and pat down on a wood chest behind the stovo nl thn door of the iK-rlroom w hue Mr. Aucker was resting him. self on a bed, and Howder seated him self at the stovo hearth on a chair at the kitchen door I then asked tho little fir! if thare wa3 no person else ia the house hut herself She re plied that grandpa and Nancy was all. I looked around and inquired, "where are they." She answered that grandpa is in the back room in bed, and Nancy is up stairs in bed. "Sir. Aucker then afeked us if we want ed anything. I mused a little while, waiting for Howder to answer, when I replied, yes. Mr. Ancker then arose from his warm bed, and came out into tho sitting room, hiddiog us Loth the time of night, and scat, ed himself in hi3 arm-chair beneath tho clock. It was just 25 minutes of 8 o'clock. IJu remarked ihat ho went to bed early, and I replied, "yes I see you do." I gazed upon -Mr. Auck er, hut I had not the courage to in form him of the object cf our visit, and had made up my mind to go out and go horn". I cast my eyes tj w.ird Howder aud l.c made motions bv n'.ddiug his head for mo to break tho unwelcem in clligeuce to Mr. Aucker. Finally I took courage, placed myself on the iloor in front of i .'ir. Aucker, cocked my pistol and said: '"Weil old man wo have coiui :;fter your money, and now we want it. He placed, his hands over his face, and all Ihe reply ho made was a groan. In this position he roraaiued about two minutes and then sii tthat there w :s not t:-n dollars in the hoii.se. I then told hi:n wo wanted w hat was there, and Aucker s:tid: "wS.l we'll see," and g,t up and went past me. I turned to Howder, and s:ii i 'partner bring me that light.

Howder went to Mc.-Y'isterville, a:.d Lovering went to Zimmerman's anil remained over night, but the- had been seen on the road and v. the . murder became known the next day. Howder was arrested and Lovciin; wis;; f; iio.ved into Saade moun'ain to Peter Vareor's win-re. he was arrest ed, taken before a justice in McAIie- lvii: alid there identified bv Miss McEhvv, Vs the fact that he had shaved off his whiskera. Tho murders just mentioned great ly moved the people of this little mount girt valley, but not oneagitat ed the people like the Carpenter case. The bond of relationship between the; murdered man and the murder er and murderers mother, aud the blindness of tho victim, and the man ner in which ho was killed, and his body taken away in th-i dead quiet of; such a degree that the uppermost topic of conversation was the murder (f the cider Carpenter. He had been a useful man, blind thix.f h ho whs, for ho was a constant cash buyer of butter and eggs and poultry, and he demonstrated to n certainly that there is money to be made iu that business if it is proper ly managed, and he demoustra I to i a certainty taut he had more man aging ability than many men who can see clearly ont cf both their eyes, and his business ability revealed by his murder has induced more than one parly to venture into the business from which his son Jiia removed him, because of Jim's eovctonstiess, ami because he wanted to get livid of hi3 father's money as was testified to in the trial, by a, witness, who over hearel tho murderer say to Lis moth er; "Now the old man is ont of tho w ay, I'll go to the bank anil see how much money he has tLcre, ami ship the eggs he has in the shop, and they cannot prove arthiDg." The witness heard Jim tell his mother that, long before daylight on Monday morning, December 11, ISO'S: long before any living person but tho murderer and his mother knew of the murder. Who knows it might have been the testimony of this witness for the wife cf the murdered husband and I iatuer imei ustenea to that testimony when Jim was trieel that induced her to plead guilty as an accessory, and for which plea of guilty sho is noTf undergeacg two years imprison ment in the Western Penitentiary. But useful as the elder Carpenter was, if it had been known what an awful trngeely his life would end in, he would net have been alloweel to open business there as some citizens proposed that he shoulel not, because ! of the probable charge that he would I eventually biing upon Port Royal for J their maintenance. The apprehen sion of certain overseers of the poor that the Carpenter's would become a j charge upon the people of that town, ; seems like a prophetic presentiment ! in the light of the faot of their be- coming a greater charga upon the county for the trial and execution of Jim, and for the keeping of his moth er in the penitentiary. It was about 9 o'clock on Monday morning four hours after mother and son had been heard talkiug about gathering up the money in the bank, and selling the eggs in tho shop that James 15. Carpenter began to talk to neighbors about the disap pearance of his father, and from this hour people in Port Royal legan a search for the missing man and be gan to euspect Jim. Tho citizecs of thstowa visited the missing man's business pi ices, aud soon found blood marks outside the ouiian.g in tuo alley. A Iiglit snow of some djys previous had not all disappeared and that Providential light snow revealed the trail made by tne remove.! of the murdered man. Here aud there was a patch of suow. and on almost everyone m a certain direction there were drops of blood. rv.ir i;y step, me uiooa on tne snow revealed the trail of the murderer. When the trail took th; direction of Tc.scarora erf ek that flows alon? tho south side of the town there was a luu-ryiug of people toward the stream, and when a shoo of the vic tim was found on the trail there was a great hurrying to get to the stream. Up nnd down thay scattered till Soma one shouted, "here," aud thc-re on tho bjnks of tho placidly running creek were the marks of something having been shoved off into the cold jaud turgid water, and a little further down the other shoe of the father wa3 found. Everyone was horrified over the exclamation "he 13 sank in the creek." Such a sensttion. The y, hole community was aroused. Sheiiil'Laop was sent lor, the out torn of the; ,tream away into th s night. .1, I i r rti-.t ,o.- r ' i.n-. .... ing when the sheriff aud his search ers retired exhausted to take rest. It was a well planned mardar. The ! premises had been cleaned, and the j business place showed no signs of me awim tragedy Mat, naa Deen en- acted thrro on Sunday evening. Everything about tho plico looked ns it did when they were preparing chickens and crating eggs for mark c-t, and if it Lad not been for th:it snow no one would havo known any better than that tho elder Carpenter had wnnd--red away under some mys terious impulse. But murder will out. Shortly after daylight the sheriff an.i j district Attorney wero again un on the scene of the creek, aud in the town, and in the business place where the killing was done, and all over the premises, iratiitrinsr uere ami there i ;i link oi information. ar?d keeninar un a force of men probing the waters for the missing man. Foot bv foot the bottom of Tusearcra creek was scrap cd and probed down toward the juur- tion of its waters with the river. j ed out into tne river and then cli would be over for without tho body murder could not be established. Nearer and nearer toward tho river moved the searchers and stiller nnd stiller grew the Wider for tho river was high and backed water into tho creek. How fortunate. Was it the Providential mind that had raised the Juniata to back water jinto Tuscarora creek to keep the body cf the miii'd.-rtd man from lloatinc aw.-.y never to be fouud. It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The leading boat manned by Eli SliriUhherger cf .Mfilintowa ant! John Willi were within a few feet of where the river was rushing by, am! tho spectators on the bank almost held the ir breath over t!.e thought that ihe narrow margin of a few feet of still water must give up the eleael man. or give up ihe search, and leave his disappearance a mystery for the depth of eternity to solve. But see the men in the boat havo grappled something. They pull it to tho top of the water. It is a dcaei man. The body cf the father Carpenter. His head was bruised and broken, aud his throat waa cut. Who murdered Lim was the ques tion. Squire Geo. W. Wilson of Patter sou, was called upon to act as coron er, and calieel the following nameel citizens, Jacob Gremiugcr, Charles McCoi mick, W. C. Coxey, T. J. Ovcs, W. A. McNitl as coroner's jary. The jury heard two witnesses auel ad jourct-d till on Wednesday morning. James L. Cnrpeuter the son cf the murdered man was sent to jiil in de fault of five hundred eloilars bail to appear on Wednesday morcing as a witness before the coroner's jury. It was long afler nightfall when Sheriff L epp lodgeel the young mac in jail, which ho never after ltft ex cept when in the custoely of the sher iff. On Wednesday the testimony of James B. Carpenter, the prisoner, for euch Le really was, and other wit nesses led tho coroner's jurv to rend er tho following verdict. That James Carpenttr came to his death through his son James B. Carpen ter by means of a blunt instrument. Also that Mrs. Carpenter wife of the murdered man was implicated. The accused sou denied the mur der. Sheriff Samuel Lapp ami deputy sheriff A. B. Evans lodged the pris oner in jail od Wednesday evening, and on Friday the 15th, .Vrs. Car penter was lodgeil in jail to answer in accordance w ith the veniict of the coroner's jury. The mother anel 6on irauieeliately employed counsel, securing the ser vice of Judge Joseph Bucher of Lew isburg and Wm. H. Spouslor of Bloomfield anel Jeremiah N. Kellar of Milllintown, and assigned them, for pay, all the Carpenter estate, ex cepting a few hundred dollarr. The Carpenter estate was worth well nigh to two thousand dollars. The public said, "Jim is smart," he has secured a talented anel working set of lawyers, and they will run away with the case. But the public elid not know of the resources in the law chest of tho Commonwealth. They counted without their host. The young District Attorney Wilberforce Schweyer, well trained in his profession, and an untiring worker, called to his assistance Hon. L. E. Atkinson and John J. Patter son, Jr., and they made a trio capa ble of holding up their Bide of the case, able to show tho cracks in the other side into which to pour tho hot oaud of law and justice. The Dis trict Attorney worked untiringly day and night, and when the case was called for trial on the Cth day of Feb ruary, 1894, he felt that his lines in the case had been so closely drawn that the capable and talented men employee! on the defence could not break them, and the result of the trial proveel ho.v correct he was- But tho defense still clung to the belief that they would have a walk over, anel their first act was to jump e.n the Court itself. They would read a lesson to the Court, and then they wouhl wipe up the case with the Dis trict Attorney ami his assistants', and forthwith thev challengeel Judge Lyons with uulawfully having assist eel iu having fiLVel tho jury wheel, when one of tho jury commissioners was absent. On that ground thev proposed to quash th? array of jurors, but Juelge .Lyons soon satisfied tueni that he Lad acted under a later and more comprehensive law than they quoted trom. Then the' case was proceeded with, witn tliram Danu, Thco lore achmit tie, Clayton Stoner, H. F. Smith, Henry Bay, , m Barclay, Win. Xidd, A 11. Frethrer, Thomas Murphy, . illiamsoa Vuc Ormer, Be.aie Eaton, and Geo. W. bpeakman as jurors. The mother was not put upon trial. The sm was put upon trial and his mothtr sat by his side during the long ordeal of that week tdl to the finish on Monday afternoon, Febru ary 12, 18:4. When the District Attorney finish eel his openiog speech, t:'o thor.sauel spectators that had jammed them salves into the court room felt that tho contemplated walk ever by the elefendant's counsel coul l not take plaoe, bat that instead of setting the prisoner at the bar free, he wouhl be proven gui.ty of tho mardor of his father. Aud from luat time on a marvel ous change took place in the minds of the people as to the result of the trial. The talent for the murderer work eel hard, but thero was not a weak place anywhero along the Common wealth line that the lawyers for Jim eouhl penetrate. Such a multitude as attended upon the trial from the first day to the last, had not boen witnessed at court by any Juniata county people or by any of the many people who wero in town that week from elistant places, and the dramatic scenes of tho trial, aud the incielents in and aronnel the court house wouhl fill a book. But the climax oi surprise in this most re markable trial wa3 reached whon tho murderer's counsel aske:l lor con-fere-nce with the Cjmmonwealth. The six lawyers withdrew toajury room, and whcvi they hehl a consultation, and returned tho aunoance me it was made tuat the defense h i I uothing further to eiffer, and that the District Attorney wouhl close the case for the Commonwealth which he did iu a short and incisive speech. Judge Lyons immediately chargeel the juiy. The jury retired aud with iu a short time returned with a ver elict of guiity cf murder in tho first degree. The case passed through the usual preliminary stages of sentence, and approval by the Governor of the State, who fixed tho time for the ex ecution on Thursday, June 14, 1S34 At the April term of Court Mrs. Carpenter wife of tha murdered man and mother of the murderer was put upon trial, ami after pleading guilty as an accessory after the fact to the mureler was eentenceel to pay the fines that the lav imposes ami un dergo an imprisonment in tho west ern penitentiary for the period of two yeai s. Meauwhih', and up to the day of execution interest in the case was manifested by the p.eople. Thy talked about the impending hanging every day, am! when the scaffolel was brought here from Harrisburg by John S. Michael and put Ui in the court room close to where tho mur derer eat eluriDg his trial, the inter est was greatly intensified. Handreels cf people went to the court house to 8"c the instrument of execution, anel the affable Sheriff always met them anel answered their inquiries, unless nueler a pressure of business he was forceil to be awa'. TLe instrument of deith is made of heavy timber, pointed lead color, and etanda 13 feet, 0 inches high to the top of the cross beam from which the rope hangs. Tho floor or trap iloor is 5 feet six inches from the gronud and five feet square inside the timbers of the frame.-. It is hung on hinges on two sides of the frauii and cut aeroj-s iu the middle from ths sides opposite to which it is hung. hen not up the floor hangs in two pieces by its hinges against two sieles of the inside of the frame. When required for use the leaves are lifted just like the leaves of a hinge table is lifted, auel meet in the rniel elle where the leaves come together on a heavy bar that is placed across nnelerneath thus forming a substan tial platform capable of holding as many people as can get on it. The bar that holds the leaves up in the middle, is held iu place by two staples one at each end of the bar in side timbers of the scaffold- There is a spring with a knob on it like a door knob, on the outside -of the scaffolel alongside of the stairs of 7 steps that leael to the platform. When all things are ready, when the convict his had his limbs strap ped above anil below the knees, when his arms have been bound, when the nooso Las been adjusted, wLeu the cap has been drawn down over his face, and thus pinioned he stands with only an inch floor as a boundary line between this anel the eternal world, the officer whispers "good-by'' and begins the descent of the steps, aud when he is down far enough for Lis right hand to touch the knob, he strikes the knob a blow with his right Land and the spring knocks oat the bar, the fiooa parts in the middle und the murderer is huDg. This scaffolel is the same that Lover- iug was hung on. The last man ex - ecuied on it was the fiend Tenuis. at Harrisburg for first outraging a lit tie girl and then murdering her to' conceal his lustful crime. Carpen ter makes the 17th murderer esecut ed upon it. Kev. John It. Henderson of the Presbyterian church, Rev. At. L. Drum of the olethoitist and H. C. Holloway. D. D.t of the Lutheran church of this town called on the con demned man but Jim's seeming in difference for their solicitude for hia future well being was not encourag ing. However at ona time it looked as if Dr. nolloway would becomo his constant spiritual adviser, hut a re lapse into indifference and outward obduracy of manner on the part of the murderer, caused the doctor to withdraw ad submit the case to Diety who rules all things for his own glory. Rev. J. K. Lloyd of the Port Royal Methodist church became his spiritual adviser, and visited him, frequently, and on Friday evening, June 8, he brought with him a num ber of Port Royal friends who s-uig Chris' ian hymns the melody of which floated upon the air out of tho pris on into the town about the jail and impressed many people who wore wilhin hearing distance. Across the corridor three men from Snyder county are confined for having attempted to rob Mr. Lud wig. iu his barn in the cast end of this county. They Lava been nick named tho Jesse Jame3 gang from Suy.lor county. The singing of "Take me as I am," for Jim's benelii did not impress the James Gang fav orably, tor it is saul tney sworo 6o loud their oaths cauhl ba heard on the tho street above the Christians.

When ia a serious meoei he expresseel re gret for his past life, and saiel he would give anything aud everything, if he could again live his life over. And he was thoughtful enough and had money enough to provide for his own fuueral, which ho did by sending for Funeral Director Ruble, last week, to select a coffin, anil make arrangements for eleeent burUl in a lot that he owns in Church Hi!! cem etery and iu accordance with his di rections, after the hanging, Mr. Ruble had his body prepared and coffined, aael taken in his hoarse to the place selected by the murderer fc-r interment. In his moments of levity; he saug songs, swore nnd denied the exist ence of an immortal sa;!, end in the nest breath iiulicatad his beli'f iu a future state by talking about hell anel Leaven and to one person ho said ho would report the state of affairs about the jail at the half way house, and to another person ha declared his purpose to order whisky aud switzer at the half way house, which remark j cixusoel people to shudder. Some said such remirks are the talk of au insane man, a man drunk, a man utterly depraved or a mau who believes iu purgatory, a state after eleath where the soul is purified by punishment. Oa Tuesday, Juac 12th, .Mc. Spona- lor. one cf Jioi s counsel called with .Vr. Keller and bado tho condemned man farewell, aud expressed the hope that his soul would find an abidiug pUce ia the good and beautiful world beyond (hi vale of tears. Oa the same day Jim received a let ter from his mother iu ths penitentiary. Tho letter was written on Sunday, June 10, aud was afTectie.nate and mother like. She expressed a thankfulness that they have both had good health, and said it would be tho last time he could hear from her in this world. She commended him to the Redeemer and Saviour of a fallen raoo. She felt his innocence nnd expressed thank to her counsel for their efforts in their be half, and was particularly thankful to Sheriff Lapp for tho kindness ho had shown to them both, and hoped that they would all meet iu the better world . On Wodneidaj afternoon, Jim's uncle, A. M.
