Intense Excitement Attending It
Thc Place of Uurial-Fnrtlier
Development i of His
Theory of the
Murder.
The closing scene In the great Twitchell tragedy
was enacted this morning, when the body of the
Filicide was placed In Its final resting-place. On
Thursday evening the remains of Ocorge 8.
Twltchell, Jr., were removed from tho cell In which
which he had sought reiuge from the scaffold by
taking his own life; but, by an unaccountable mis
take, they were conveyed to Oic late residence of
Oerald Eaton, near the prison, on Tenth street, be
low Washington avenue. When the case In which
they were enclosed was there opened, an exciting
scene transpired on ascertaining that the blunder had
been committed.
The remains of the wretched man were Imme
diately removed to the residence of Mrs. Moore, No.
Kiao kiouth Fourth street, to be prepared for burial.
The elder Twltchell had married a sinter of this lady
when his son was about two years old, and It Is said
that the unhappy man entertained for tills step-auut
a kindlier feeling than for any of his other relatives.
During his Imprisonment she was constant In her
attentions to him, visiting him very frequently in his
cell, and having ronlidcd to her ear by him all his
hopes and fears and thoughts.
i ne uouy was very eiaiiorateiy prepared tor the
final rites. It was clothed In a pure white shroud
and encased In an elegant colli n covered with black
cloth and ornamented with silver mountings. Rich
offerings of flowers hud been made by his friends,
and these were profusely strewed around and over
the remains, Imparting to them a look but little in
keeping with the terrible scene of his death, on
which no human eye had rested.
The funeral ceremonies were commenced at half
past 9 o'clock this morning, the Rev. George Hrln.fr
h u ret, whose name is now familiar throughout the
country as the spiritual adviser of the deceased, con
ducting the religious services, both at the house and
at the burial-ground, according to the rites of the
l'rotestaut Episcopal Church. The only persona pre
sent were the futlier and brother of Twltchell, und a
few of his near relatives. Mm. TtcitcluU wan not
among the number.
The most studied arrangements had been made to
have the affair conducted with the strictest secrecy
and privacy. But, In spite of this, the people In the
neighborhood hud learned of the contemplated fune
ral, and un immense crowd had gathered about the
houRe. A large force of police were present, how
ever, and by their assistance the eager and curious
crowd was kept at bay.
The remains were taken for interment to the Union
Burial Ground, at Sixth street and Washington
avenue. The authorities would not consent to have
the coffin placed In the receiving vault, so that it was
necessary to Inter the remains Immediately after
their arrival. .Ml the way from
the house to tae place of burial a
large throng of people lined the street and followed
the remains to the burial ground, one or two squares
from the house. Twltchelrs faithful friend, MeCully,
did not reach the house until after the funeral cor
tege had started. Informed of this fact, he made all
baste to catch up with it. but in vain.
Arriving at the burial ground, the procession en
tered, and the gates were t once guarded lv the
police, to keep out the intruding crowd. In a few
minutes the whole affair was over, and the remains
of George . Twltchell, Jr., disappeared from the
world.
Twitcliell'N f'onvrrNiitionN wlih Mrs. Moore.
As stated above, Mrs. Moore was frequently In the
cell of Twltchell during his imprisonment, anil he
opened his mind freely to her. Only a day or two
previous to the suicide the wretched man remarked
toiler:
"It is hard that I have to die for this thing."
Mrs. Moore then inquired of the prisoner:
"11 ow can yon account for the blood that was foand
cn your shirt V"
In answer to this Inquiry Twltchell related t'i her
the circuuiBtauccH of the murder, In keepiug with his
so-called coufessiou. He told her how he was
aionsed by his wife calling to him, how he went down
ii to the dining-room, ami was there told by her that
fhehadquarelled with her mother and murdered her.
"My llrst Impulse,'' continued Twltchell, "was to
ularm the neighbors, but my second Impulse was to
tave my wife.''
Twltchell then stated to Mrs. Moore the circum
stances attending the throwing of the body from the
window, giving some facts which have not hereto
fore been made public.
itupp'-ars that the window of the dining-room In
which the murder was committed Is not far above
the pavement In the side yard. Twltchell asserted
to. Mrs. Moore that he grasped the body of the mur
dered woman by the head aud shoulders, while his
wife took hold of her feet. They then bore
the body to the window aud rested
it on the sill, in which position it was held by
Twitchell, while his wife ran down stairs and out in'o
the yard, Immediately under the window. When
she reached this position, Twltchell quietly lowered
the body Into the avms of his wife,
by whom it was laid at length upon the pavement.
In this way he accounted for the circumstance that
the body, w hen found, was not thrown together, as
It might nave been if hurled violently from the win
dow, but laid out In a straightened condition.
Twitchell concluded his narration by saying l.hst
he supposed that the blood came upon his clothes by
his having had hold of the murdered woiuau iu the
manner described by him.
Mrs. Moore then Inquired of him:
"What became of Camilla's clothing? How was it
that It was not bloody as yours?''
To this he responded :
"That clothing was carried off."
Mrs. Moore states that the last visit pnld to
Twitchell by his wife was on the evening of Friday,
two weeks ago yesterday. On this occasion, the hus
band said to the wife;
"Camilla, some light must be thrown upon this
murder."
Hhe then expressed a dread of having any reporters
present ut the execution, and after that paid no fur
ther visits to the condemned man.
EATON'S FUNERAL.
Throngs of IV-Ople Surround tho
House imd Accompany tho
Funeral Cortege.
The funeral of Gerald Eaton was attended with a
little more pomp and ceremony. Dense crowds sur
rounded his former dwelling, the dwelling now of
bis wife, and the greatest excitement, though par
tially suppressed, prevailed.
Not only the immediate vicinity of tho house was
thronged, but Tenth street for a square southward
from Washington avenue.
When the body was removed, at 9 o'clock last even
ing from Sweeney's undertaking PHiubllshtnent in
Fit.water street, west of Eighteenth, to the late
residence of EaUm, a perfect jam of people were at
the latter place awaiting Its arrival.
In mercy to the memory of Eaton, who was one
of their associates, we rel rain from delineating the
characters of which the greater portlou of tho mass
was composed, fctiinlce it, they were not the most
srepectable.
During the evening a regular old Irish Catholic
"wake" was celebrated over tho remains by the
friends and relatives of Eaton. They who were not
privileged to enter the house and participate, crowded
around the door and listened eagerly to the noise
within. Early tills morning tho same crowds were
present, though probably not In as great streugth.
About half-past 10 o'clock the hearse arrived, and
shortly atlerwarda the coffin wits removed from tho
house' and placeed upon It, The coffin was a neat
and handsome one, covered with black cloth, and
bearing upon the lid the name of the person .whoso
lead body it enclosed, as well as a large silver cross.
Hume fifteen carriage for the mourners moved up
into line, and were speedily tilled.
The cortege then moved off down Tenth street,
towards the Church of the Annunciation, some three
or four squares away. Large multitudes followed
the body to tho church, the sidewalks presenting tho
appcarauve of a moving Hood of people,
The church reached, the body was rurried In a'ld
placed In the aisle. The solemn mass of reqtilo
was men ceiennued iiv inn Kev. r attier Mc.na'iv.
and alterwards an absolution of the body was
Kiven.
The body was then again brought out, repla'vl In
the h urse, and conveyed for burial to the Calhe IraJ
ccnittcrv. and mere iciomtcl in a vault.
The majority of the crowd which had borne the
remains company to me ennren iki not continue
tneir attendance on it as far as tin; cemetery.
Ka lm's wife appears very much broken d iwn
sad and roriorn. ins rather-in-hiw likewise is very

Ho great was the press of peonle that surrounded

The Coroner' InvcHiiumioo Interesting Tc-
liiimiiy.
This morning Coroner Daniels continued the In
vestigation In the matter of the death of George K.
Twitchell, Jr., at his room on Fifth street, below
Chesnut. The following wltness were pxa nlned:

lriuh pnlled it out of the boot at the foot, of tile bml ; n tvor
mw or beard of it before; did not converse wit U Ttriieni-U
on the subject of bis oonunittins suicide; I am p wit ive of
that; never spoke to the prison kxepors alsiut his o nmit
tin suicide; I ain conscious that there have ben e uivcr
sntions among people outside with reference to his bi-ing
the kind of man to eonmiit snirifle, but we beli rvn.l it t
be the duty of the prison authorities to look out for suou a
thing.
John O'Byme sworn -I ws present in the erll on We I
tieeduy afternoon ; there was in them Mr. Hiislor.l, Mr.
Hicharda, Mr. llrinKhnrst, General Cvllis, Keeper l lniu
ina, Mr. Fair, and Mr. McAdnms; I hsd no priTitt conver
sation with him ; I conversed with him in a low tonof
voico: my impression is that the keeper hxard ail ; ho n-ver
stated to me that he intended to tuke his Ufe; ho sniil to
me that be wag so weak and so shattered thst he feared he
wouldn't go to the neaffnld ; I did not see, nor do I kn w of
anything being passod to him ; tho conversation wis g.ne
ral ; from necessity I sat beside him, for there was no olhnr
place for me to sit ; he asked tno to cali axaiu on tho null
morning to see him.
General C. H. T. Oollls sworn- I went to the call on Wed
nesday afternoon ; wa found the prisoner, Mr. rlringhnrst,
Mr. Hansford, Mr. Richards, and Mr. Ileming; the most
of my conversation was addressed to Mr. Hringhurst : tlie
materiul points of Mf. O'Hjrrne's conversation f hfiird ; it
was with reference to his affairs In Camrten; Twitchell ex
pressed a desire to see ns the next morning ; I did not
anything passed to him; never heard him say anything
about committing suiride; I am positive that nothing was
passed to bira then ; the prisoner shook hands with as.
V. T. Kansford sworn I was proeent in the cell on Wed
nesday aiternoon ; I did not see anything passed to him ; I
kept my eye on him ail the time; I never inferred from any
conversation with him that he contemplated suicide; he
remaiked ho had no earthly hone at all, and exported to
be executed the next day; he spoke highly of Mr. O'Kyme
Kev. Mr. Hringhurst recalled: I wns in tho cell when
Mr. Fleming asked Twitchell to have his boots blackened ;
George said, "So, they are blackened enough," in an
abrupt manner; Mr. McAdam, who was in the cell, apolo
gized to Mr. Fleming for the abruptness.
F. Ii. Fetheiston sworn - I was in prison on Wednesday
with Mr. William J. Moduli)", we went to the cell; I a
no private conversation, neither did I see anything passed
to Twitchell ; I was there from cariosity.
Andrew Fleming retailed On Wednesday afternoon I
went to bis ceil and asked him if he would have his boot a
blackened ; he abruptly said "No 1" that was between 4 aud
& o'clock ; his friend b had all gone except Mr. Hringhurst;
we searched Twitchell after he was sentenced ; there is no
rnle that I know of requiring the prisoner to bu searched
after sentence ; we are required to search the coll every
day ; he could have hid the bottle in hts pillow, his lied, or
his hat case; we never searched the cell thorough; Lbe
rules require us to search the cell for holes, so that pri
soners could not escape, and never with a view to the pri
soner committing suicide; no visitors are examined; I
know of no such rule in the convicted department, but
there is one for the untried department.
William F. MeCully corroborated the testimony of th-
former witness.
George K. Twitchell, Sr., sworn I was in the c"ll on
Wednesday last, almut 91 in the morning; there were
C resent my sister-in-law, her son, and Mr. Zeiaa, and the

mated to me that, be would commit suicide: I was there
twice Uiat day ; I did not see any parcel or package paKsetl
to my son that day ; be suid be aid not want anybody to cull

tjoiin A. Mci.uuy sworn--l was once in the cell on Wed

my presenro that he intended to commit Biiic ide.
ISamuel F. Simes sworn I was in the cell on Wednes
day ; had no private conversation with Twitchell; in tile
fore part of the trial I bUskI at the railway in ths Court
House; be asked me whether I would fuvnih him with
m me prnssic acid ; 1 said. "Why, George!'' an l looked at
hi in and remarked, "I will do nothing ol the k'nd :" I also
said, "I have my way to make thrnush th.1 world, an 1 I
couldn't think of such u thing;" he replied, "I don t wish
eu to do it;" never had any conversation with him
alterwards abont Ilia committing suicide; n.-ver saw the
bottle before; the contents of it hps the ojorof the cyanide
of potassium ; I have u knowledge of the drug business; it
is not customary to sell that poison to everybody ; would net
acll it to any one uulesa on a prescription or to oue whom I
knew; a druggist would not ho likely to sell ei-n then Usb
an ounce; don't know anything alsout the bottle; it is
the one ordinarily nsed iu drug stores; did n it consider
Twitchell an intimate friend ; do not recollect whether the
defense bud opened its case; when my conversation
occurred with Twltchell ; have no knowledge as to how the
bottle came into his possession; cyanide of potassium is
used by photographers and silversmiths; the
paper wrapped around tho bottlo is not
the kind ordinarily nsod liy by druggists.
Ur. Shupleigh recalled- The contents of the bottle sro
known as the dilute prnssic ucid ; no diugtrist would sell it
unless upon a prescription ; it is very hard to obtain; no
druggist would sell a bottle ot it without a label on it ; cya
nide of potassium is easily obtained, us it is used in the
arte.
Dr. Hutoher recalled- The contents of the bottle on ex
amination proved to he pure hydrocyanic acid, or as it is
commonly called, prusnic acid ; it was submitted to the fol
lowing teats by Dr. J. J. Reese in my presence:
First. A few drops of the acid was placed in a small dish,
and a drop of strong solution of nitrato of silver put in a
watch crystal, laid over the acid, producing a film of cya
nide of silver on the glass. This is the mistt delicate test.
Second. To a drop of the acid on a. crystal wtvs added
u A I-..M . cu.lnllnn r.f a,,l. .1.1 .1.. Zt - . .j .. J . . "
... .uu ul D...,.iun ul niiiiDooiu, an'.i a urvp
solution ol per suit of Iron, which produced a blood-rod
color,
Third. The Iron test. To a few drops of the acid mixed
with water waa added liquor poiasnu, u solution proto and
pi rsult of irou and pure muriatic acid, which gave the pre
cipitate of l'rnssian blue.
Fourth. A drou of the acid on litmus tksner mvidticed a
red color.
The contents of the bottle are known as tho Scholia acid ;
I was in Twitchell's cell on Tuesday evening: Twitchell
wept bitterly and laid on tile bed ; I believe it he had the
poison then, bo would have taken it ; I w"nt there becuuse
the keeper had told me he was unwell ; he said he did not
think he would ever go to the scaffold; 1 told him
he was not sick, but excited, andeucmuaged him to keep up
bis spirits; I believe the acid wus given to him on Wednes
day; it could easily have been given to him by a person
sitting beside him; it could be slipped into his pocket or
given to kim behind tho back of otie who sat beside him;
no person outside of a physician could got tht acid;
whon I kept a store I wouldn't give it to anybody
eicept a physician called himself; when
he received tho death sentence he went from the van to
his cell and was searched ; if ho bud been searched and
Uiken trom his cell to another alter the communication
had been made by Katon lo (.'ussidy, Twiichcll could not
have taken the bottle with him; we who heard the commu
nication placed great stress upon it, aud the order was
given to search the cell.
Selven Twitchell testified that he knew rfothlng of tho
bottle, nor did he ever think of his brother couimiit.iig
Bnicide. Twitchell never intimated that he would not bo
bunged ; witness was iu the ocll on Wednesday.
The Jury, on consultation, agreed to the following
verdict: The Jury tind that George K. Twitchell,
Jr., came to his ileal h by the use of nrussio add, ad
ministered by himself. The evidence did not disclose
In what manner the poison was obtained, nor by
whom It was furnished.
1 1t" Jury are of the opinion that greater vigilance
on the part of the prison autlioritien might, tr not
have prevented the poison le ing furnished, at least
have led to Its tliscuvery before it was swallowed by
the prisoner.
They respectfully recommend to the Inspectors of
the County Fris!oii the adoption of nuch rub s and
regulations as will prevent ummiluroeourrcu.ee lu

Pan Fhavcisco, April 9 The fire raged all

prevails there that the mines are all seriously
damaged. The heat is so great from the shaft
of the Crown Point mine, that the buildings and
hoisting works are in danger of being con
sumed. The shafts of the Yellow JiM-ket, Ken
tuck, and Crown 'Point mines ure flooded, and,
by means of pipes inserted, steam is forced down
the pipes to smother the Haines.
it is now thought that the Hie is burning in the
eight hundred feet level of the Kentirck mine, a
passage to it having been forced by a heavy ex
plosion. No more bodies Imve been recovered
from the burning mines to-day.
The origin of the lire is doubtful. 8nne per

The Crown pays the company 300,000, and

pany now virtually ceases to exist.
Its profits are known of iate years to have been
enormous, but have been concentrated by large
nominal additions of Btock. All claims of the
company could have been taken away by Great
Britain if tha former had not accepted these pro

the reorganization, w hether their bonds were in
the pool or not, and ujon this assurance there
was no competing bid.
The State debt sinking-fund comtni-aioncrs

per ceut. on the outstanding flve-per-cent. bonds,
making a sum of rW5,000, which will bo i aid

assurances that if the Democrats will qualify
and penult the organization of the legislature,
the amendment shall not be acted upon in
the Legislature nntil the necessary legislation
has been accomplished, and witiiout one or two

By many the proposal is regarded as a mere

Gettysburg, April 10 A stranger presented
himself at the Katahvine Spring yesterday even
ing, after every person had left the grounds ex
cept the night watchman, who slccr in one of
the buildings, and exprt -s-.sj ,v desire to seo the
spring and taste the water at its source, before
leaving in the morning train. As this is a com
mon occurrence, no "usplrion was excited, and
he was admitted to the bottling establishment,
through which he had to pass iu reaching the
spring at that hour. Seizing the opportunity, he
thnist his attendant lrom the building, and, fol
lowing him, turned the key in the door, aud
coolly informed hitn that lie was an agent of the
New York Gettysburg Sprim; Company, and that
he had taken possession fur his principals.
He occupied the premise during the night,
and in the morning quite a crowd assembled,
among whom w a a large sprinkling of iuvalids
who had come to Gettysburg for water, in antici
pation of the stoppage of supplies. Some ex
citement was evinced, but no disturbance, and
peaceable possession was delivered to the resi
dent agent and his employes.
The proprietor has notified the nompanyof his
purpose to dispuie the right of way to atid from
the spring over hi- land by demolishing bridges
and interposing obstructions. Having accom
plished the surprise und recapture of the springs,
the resolute stranger bsjk the cars and returned
to New York, lie is believed to be a New York
detective.
The above has been received by ns from the

In tho Money market proper there was a bar
supply of currency to-day. Tho bank deposits
have fallen so low, pending tho late pressure,
that little latitude Is left for the exercise of dis
cretion, and caution in the transaction of loans
is Imperative.
This condition of tho market tends to kee,i
tip the rates at present high-water mark, and, ft
the process of recovery is generally a slow one
iu such cases, the prospect Is not very encourag
ing. The banks ailed inability to discount eveu
a moiety of the best paper ottered, which is
therefore forced upon the open market and sub
jected to a severe shave. The tendency is to
check enterprise and to reduce the aggregate
volume of trade to the present low level.
We have no change to note in the regular '
market rates for call loans, which may Iw quoted '
nominally at 7 per cent, on Government collate
rals, aud at Ufa W per cent, on miscellaneous secu
