On the 17th;of September. 18C6, this community
iraa Blarlled by the commission of a cold
Wooded murder in its midBt. An old woman,
t reiirfTtipnt and in peace with all
her neighbors, was found brutally butchered
In her own bouse. A neighbor entering,
finds her corpse lying upon the lloor or her
room, cold and stifl-wlth the feet tied
together as she bad been butchered by the
assassin, and her iiead In a pool of clotted
gore.
Mrs. Eliza M. Miller, the victim, 'was sixty
thiee years of uge. aud with tier tiusuuiid unci
her slmer occupied the premises Ho. But
touwood slieel, where they haUiived i or over
iwenty-tlve yeais.
On the iuoi niu of tho 17th of September her
bustiund and her sister, Miss llniile Owens,
Blurted out for the day at 7 o'clock, and
at hull-past 7 screams weie heard by the neigh
bors proceeding from Mrs. Miller's house. As
she hud hocu seen but a lew nilnnies before
that time engaged in her household tabors, uo
atteollou was paid to the cries, except by
Mis. Frlcke. who lived in the house ucxt lo
Mrs. Miller. That ludy sent her child np to the
roof to try and discover wnatwas tue matter,
but she was unable to do so.
The murder was not discovered until about
ball-puhl 3 o'clock that alleruoon. When
discovered, the most careful pains had been
taken to cover up the traces of the murderer.
THE MURDERER CAPTURED.
The most strenuous exertions were made by
the detectives, uud resulted lu the arrest of a
man named Uotlleib Williams, aged tulrty
elght years, as the oue to whom all tue circum
stances pointed as the murderer. This man
was the son of a butcher of the same name.
"When sixteen years old the prisoner committed
Lis first deed of blood. Iuau altercation with
another boy by the name of X'eter JJoescLier,
Ootllelb took up a butcher-knife, and drove it
through blm np to the handle; then Withdraw
ing the murderous weapon, he quietly wiped
oil the biood, and laid it down where he had
taken It from.
HI3 EARLY LIFE.
This occurred upon the 20th of February,
1844. His victim lived only a few hours, aud
'Williams was arrested upon the charge of mur
der, lie was ably defended, however, aud tue
Jury brought in a verdict of Involuntary man
slaughter. He was couvioted on the 27th of
JMaich.and on the 6th of April following be
was sentenced by Judge Cumpuell to four years'
Imprisonment in the (Jouuiy Prison. Hardly
liau be been confined in prison before the most
Btienuous exertions were made to procure his
pardon, which were finally successful, aud he
was let loose agaiu upon society.
But he iiad learned nottiing by the terrible
lessons of the past, aud lived a life of reckless
vagabondage. During a street tight be is said
to have caused the death of a fireman named
Toner, by strlkiug him on the head with a
spanner. He succeeded in escaping conviction
for the offense, and the next thut was heard of
blm was his enlisting in the 93th He '1 mem of
"Volunteers, in the early part of the war. Ho
served in the army only two montns, when he
deserted at tue butue or Autieiam in company
With a man named William Tickuor. Having
found his way to this city, he announced lo his
friends bis intention to go to California. He
started oil to go by the overland route, but had
hardly reached Chicago when be was strlckeu
. with paralysis. After suffering sometime, he
weut out of his room a cripple. He came back
agtln to this city, and became a couflrmed
vagabond, and spent a considerable time In the
Almshouse.
During ibis time, when be was so poor, he
paid frequent visits to the house of Mrs. Miller,
by whom he was always kindly received, and
who gave blm many a meal's victuals, and had
even nnrsed him when he was sick. These
kind offices were always rendered to him, and
even as late as the day before the murder be
bad taken breakfast at ber house, although, as
she told her sister the same evening, she was
much afraid of him. Just before going there
be had been at a bouse opposite, and had been
Indulging in very violent threats against every
body because he could not gel anything to eat,
and threatened that he would leave his mark
upon somebody before he died.
AFTER THE MURDER.
On the morning of the murder he was at the
lager beer suloon. on the corner of Ninth and
liultonwood streets, at 7 o'clock, and, contrary
to bis usual custom, was not seen around that
quarter again during the entire day. When he
was seen going Into the court a few minutes
before 7 o'clock, nothing unusual was noticed
In his appearance; but when seen at Eleventh
and Builonwood streets, at a quarter before 8
o'clock, bis appearance was noticed to be pecu
liar enough to cause the exclamation on the
part of one of the witnesses examined, "Way
(iottlleb looks as if he had fallen down lu a
slaughter-house !" When next seen, at !i o'cloak
in ibeafternoon, he was at a mt at-packintt esta
blishment near Laurel Hill. He then said to a
bystander, as ke was whetting a knife upon a
stone, "That he would be thirty-eight years old
to-morrow (Thursday) morning, but he did not
expect to live to Bee it." He had a small bottle
with blm, which he said had contained some
laudanum, but the cork getting out, the whole
of it had been spilled.
At the Hobin Hood Tavern, on the same after
noon, he ugalu spoke of his determination not
to live, and in the sameevening betold a young
man that be would never be seen again after
that day; and also, that the next morning's
J tapers would contain the whole story of his
ale. Borrowing a dollar he entered a passenger
car at half-past 7, and went to Hidge and Co
lumbia avenues. After that he was not seen
until the next morning at 8 o'clock. Ou the
morning of the 21st he was seen In the neigh
borhood of Tnirteenth and Bprlng Garden
streets, the attention of several persons being
called to bis appearance.
TOE ARREST.
About half-past 7 he passed the shoe store of
Mr. John J. McNalr, at No 801 North Thirteenth
street. Mr. McNalr was sitting in the door, and
as Williams went by be remarked to bis wife
that the man answered the description given
in the papers of the supposed murderer of Mrs.
M!!!r,
Mrs. McNalr told her husband tbat be had
better arrest him. The latter started out at
once, and overlook the suspected person at the
coruer of Coales street, lie stopped blm, and
asked If be had once lived at Tenth and But
ton wood streets.
"Yes " was the answer, "I was ruised there."
Mr. MoNalr theu inquired if his name was
Williams, to which he received an affirmative
response. Mr. McNalr further luqulred if this
Sruswer ' l wUlou hw received a slml
tISB&tftXSZ 1 wanl'" MoNalr,
Williams made up resistance, going along
With bis captor, but renioustrulimc iua mill
way, ana anting wnatciiargo there waaaizninut
bim. He was told that If f.T. amfocen
man ami could prove it, it would all go right
Alter a inorougn examination Williams
was fully committed to unswar the charge of
THE TRIAL.
On the 10th Of October, 1HU0. the Grand Jury
found a true bill of Indictment, aud on i.hVi
11th of March, 18(17, lie was put upon trial in the
CXiurl of Oyer ana jurmiuer, uerore Judges
Ludlow and fierce. Messrs. Worrell and Uon-
dell were ass lined as counsel for Williams, and
made an able defense. District Attorney Mann
conducted the prosecution, assisted by Assist
ant district Attorney T. lirauiora uwiglit.
Th ftllortM if Lhtt ripfHiiite to Drove an aJihl
were unavailing, and on the 17111 of March the
JTHEJUII Y EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY,
SSrraaicl of gull,y otmar,ior la
unow for Arrest of jtmoMENf.
On tho 21st of March, before a full bench of the
Court of Oyer and Terminer, Judges Alllsorl,
I Aid low, Tierce, and Brewster, a motion In ar
rest of Judgment In bis case was made by Wil
liams' counsel. The motion was brought np
for argument lu the same Court upon the 23d of
March,
THE 8EFTEWCE.
On the 80th of March the CC"!"1; through
Judge IjUdlow, reported adversely, in a clear
and terse decision overruling the motion.
Alter a few very Impressive remarks to the
prisoner upon the heiuoustiess of the crime of
which lie was convicted, and the awful isle in
store for him, Judge Ludlow pronounced sen
tence upon him in the following words:
"That Oottlcit) Williams, the prisoner at the
bnr.be taken irom hence to thejall of the county
of Philadelphia, from whence he came, and
from l hence to the place of execution, and that
be be there banged by the neck until he Is dead,
and may God of His Infinite goodness have
mercy on his soul."
HEADING TUE DEATH-WARRANT.
On the 2d of May, 1H07, the warrant for the
execution of (ioltlelb Williams, '",)on the
coming 4'h of June, was signed by Governor
Geary, and on the 4th of My Bherttr II.
C. Howell, accompanied by several gentlemen,
official aud otherwise, rcr", the warrant to the
prisoner. During the leading of the warrant
the prisoner stood loaning against the wall at
the rear of the cell, occasionally stroking bis
face with his hand, but exhibiting the most
astonishing coolness and self-sufficiency
throughout. When the reading was concluded,
the hiierllf again addressed the prisoner,
assuring him that his doom was now fixed, and
that he must, not look for a pardon or respite,
as there wns no possibility of either. He there
lore exhorted him to think only of the future,
and to prepare nt once to meet bis fate. In
answer lo this Williams responded that he was
ready to die to-day, having repented of all that
lie had ever done. But be was not guilty of this
thing (tefen ing to the murder ot Mrs. Miller),
and the time would come when bis innocence
would be proved.
Williams referred at that visit to the unkind
ness of oucof his biothors, who would have
not hire to do with bim, and would not assist
him at the trial. Throughout the Interview the
criminal talked with the utmost lreedoin and
ease, exhibiting no apparent emotion, and
giving evciy evidence of a sound and Intelli
gent )nl d. Though crippled in body, bis in
tellect is evidently unimpaired.
TUB PRISONER'S RECENT DEPORTMENT,
During a visit whloh was paid to him in his
cell lust week, Williams was very cordlul, and
entered with entire freedom upon the discus
sion of the subject of the murder, and also gave
his free consent to have the conversation made
public. At the outset of the conversation be
protested earnestly against a paragraph repre
senting him us iudiflereut to his fate, and more
intent upou securing a full supply of tobacco, to
the use ol which he Is greatly addicted, than to
religious Instruction. He complained with
great earnestness of the injustice of these loose
and unfounded assertions. He also professed
to be profoundly Impressed by the teachings of
the llov. Thomas G. Allen, his reiigiouB adviser,
and be declared bis desire to devote tue remain
der of his days to preparations for eternity.
He still continued to protest bis innocence of
the murder of Mrs. Miller, and said that, on the
day it was committed, he was not in the court
where she lived. He said, further, that it wus
the crime committed by him when he was a
boy that caused his conviction upon the charge,
of mu refer! fig Mrs. Miller. He wus innocent of
this latter offense; but he knew that he must
die for.it, and ho was prepared to meet his fate.
In respect to his condition ou the day of the
murder, he said lie had drank nothing that
morning; that he was sober, aud as saue as be
ever was.
He also said that when sentence of death had
been pronounced upon him, he had resolved to
commit suicide. His proposed method of doing
so wus to strangle himself by means of a cord
he had concealed under the floor of his call.
Before be had an opportunity to use this string
he was removed lo another cell, and lost It. Ho
then got possession of a shoe -st ring to effect the
same otijeol, but was Induced, by the Influence
of Ibe teachings of his spiritual adviser, Mr.
Allen, to give up the Idea. He said further, in
reference to bis conversion: "I have now be
come convinced that I have a soul to besaved,
and all my thoughts are turned in that direc
tion. I will go lo tho scaffold uud die, and It
will be for a crime I never committed." The
Srlsoner has slept well, and has a good appetite.
,o professes himself us being easy In mind.
having made bis peace with God, repented of
all the i-ius he has ever committed, aud being
uow ready to die on the .scaffold lor a crime
of which he Is Innocent.
His constant companion, now that his end Is
drawing nigh, is tho Bible.' Its many leaves
turned dowu indicate where passages have
been searched out for reneatftd Derusal. Ho
hesitates mft to pray aloud with tils religious
advisers, aud when visited by bis friends ofteu
entreats them to unite with him in supplica
tions to the Throne of Grace, tils manner of
deportment gives evidence of deep contrition
for bis past sinful career, and he seems to have
an abiding faith in the mercy and goodness of
God. He often speaks of bis execution, aud bus
made every preparation for his burial.
TUE LESSON OV AN EVIL LIFE.
As a matter of course. In such cases there are
a great many pessous who still believe in Wil
liams' Innocence of the murder of Mrs. Miller.
They allege tbat be was utterly unable to
master such a strong woman as Mrs. Miller,
even if willing, liut that he possessed consider
able physical power was made fully manifest
by tne testimony or competent witnesses, lie
was ably defended and every point that could
be made whs made in his defense. Step bv step
1 he evidence closed In agaiust him, while not
a reasonable aouut was in tue minds of the
jury in regard to his guilt. His career Is a
ingnuui instance oi me tendencies oi a reuk
ltss disregard of the laws of society.
From bis earnest youtn lie was wholly un
controlled by bis tarents. or by outside in
fluences that would lend to keep blm in the
path of rectitude. Giving bis passions full
sway, lie rushed iuto all kinds of excesses, aud
in mere boyhood committed the fearful crime
of murder. Undeterred by the memory of that
fearful deed, he pursued a life of vagabondage
that only tended to foster the tinorlsh lustiucts
of bis nature, and fit bim for the last fearful
drama in wbicb he played such a bloody part.
We shall print in Tue Evening Teleqraph
to-morrow, the speech of Mr. District Attorney
William B. Mann in the prosecution of Gottlelb
Williams for the murder of Mrs. Miller. This
speech is one of the most searching, acute, and
able addresses that Mr. Mann has ever de
livered, and will be read with especial interest
