On one of these murderous expeditions Perry Bickart, on whose state- ment the Moyers, Erb and Ettinger were arrested the first time, was with the party. He was waiting foran opportunity, behind a high wall, to shoot the old man, but Uriah Moyer and Ettinger failed to in duced him to leave the house, as they had expected, by making a noise. Bickart is not to be found. A DETERMINATION NOT STUCK TO. After this Moyer determined never to pursue Kintzler any further, but being in straitened financial circumstances Erb said if be had done what he had suggest- ed he might have secured enough money to help him out of his difficulties. Moyer yielded to the temptation again, The following description of the murder ap- pears in the confession: 1 then saw Emanuel Ettinger and we made out to go there on Friday evening. On the Thurs. day before I went into the woods where my brother Jonathan was splitting wood, and told him what we were going to do. I asked him to go along. He said that he must go to Kreb's to butcher on Fri- day, and at any rate he did not want to go along. I then went home, The next evening Ettinger came to my house. I put a load in one of my rifles—not a very heavy load, 1 had takena lard can to Kintzler's several days before to have it mended, We then went to Kintzler's, it he had mended that can. He said no had not, and why 1 did not take it to a tinner. I told him I knew he was handy at doing such things and thought that he would mend it for me. Bat ifit did not suit him I would wait until he had time to mend it, but I wanted to butcher the next day. He then said “I will mend it for you so you will not have to come again after it.” He then went to work. While he was mending the can he stood within reach of his gon; 1 stood slong side of him, ETTINGER AXD KINTILER, Ettinger was sitting on the grindstone behind us, with a gun lyiog across his knees. He once pulled at the bammer with his thumb when Kintzler heard him and asked him what he was doing. Et tinger said, “I was just playiog with the hammer.” Kintzler said, “I want no- body to foel with & gun in my house, put it down.” I then eaid, “yes, Eman- uel, put it down.” He did so. After the can was mended I said, “I think it still leaks.” Kintzler said, “No it don’t, 1 shut all the holes in it”. I then said we could see if we would put water into it, and that I would go and put water into it. When 1 started to the spring Kintaier came to the door. Ettinger stepped out of the door a little to the right and stood there. I went to the spring, filled the can about half full of water and as 1 was coming away from the spring 1 was holding it up and said, “I don’t think it leaks for all.” Kintzler then came walk- ing toward me, When be was close to me I said, “I guess it don't leak for all.” Just as I turned the can to pour out the water Ettinger fired, Kintzler turned toward the house immediately, Ettinger intercepted him and a severe struggle ensued. I started to run up through the lot, got on the fence and looked back just as Eutinger dispatched the old man. He then came running up the lot where 1 was. 1 beckoned him with the band to go back. I meant to kill the old woman, for I knew she would tell on ns. He turned, ran back, and met the old lady right inside of the door. He struck ber once with the gun when she sank to the floor, He then came to where I was We waited long enough for any one in the neighborhood who might have heard it to appear on the scene. When all dans ger was past, we both went back into the house, THE MURDER COMMITTED. After we entered I heard the old lady breathe very heavily, when I said to Et- tinger, “My God, the old woman is not dead I” He then said, “I must finish it pow.” He then took a stick of wood and struck her several times, We then hunt. od for money, but not very long. We thought we teard some one coming, when Ettinger kicked the lid off a chest or box of some kind, We grabbed what was init and ran. We had nothing bat watch crystals and a few trinkets, Nota cent of money. By this time it was dark. We then weat home, I to my house, Et. tinger to my brother Jonathan's, for whom he was working at the time. The next day (Saturday) | butchered, After the hogs were killed and the lard was on the fire for rendering, I took a pair of shoes and went over to Terael Erb, 1 thought if the thiog was known I would find it out. Erb and I did not speak of it that afternoon. When 1 returned home Jonathan and Ettinger were at my house, They had finished rendering the lard and bad put away the meat. 1 had some wine in the cellar at the time, They had drank of it pretty freely. We waited until after dark, when we three started for Kintzler's. I don’t know what time it was when we got there, but think about 9 o'clock. We got a light and be- gan to ecarch for money. ¢ hunted high and low in every place we thought thers might be some, but found only $75 —gither a few cents more or a few cents less. Jonathan found an old coffee pot in the west corner, up stairs under an old bed. It contained something like fifty-two dollars. Ettinger found a paste board box with something like twenty- three dollars in it, The largest piece of money found was a five dollar bill, which was in the coffee pot, ar. uruth One day last week two hundred girls started from Limerick, Ireland, for New pshire.
