(Trauslated from the Gerhian for the Monitor.]
' We present below the confession of
Albert Bodenberg,one of the men con
victed for the murder of the-Peightal
family. The original is written in the
German languagd. This, tiing/alien
aims at giving the thought of the-au
thor in as free an EuglislLforin :M . the
nature of tho case can permit; yet only
this. The translation aims at fidelity
to the original. It should he mention
ed, however, that the English loses
somewhat of the conversational style
Of the original. All such as may have
more satisfaction in seeing thu origi
nal, can be giatified by calling at the
house of Rev. L D Steckel. We for
bear making any comment: We lay
it before an intelligent' public, and
cCrfule in the verdict of their painful
reactions:
OPEN coNFEssios
I, Albert Bodenburg, will confess
everything I know concerning this at.
fair, and how it came to pass. aim
ed at this thing already at the time
of our arrest.
- I became acquainted with Charley-
Moore or Gotlieb Bohner, I.know not
what his true name is, in the month of
August, or the beginning of Septcm
ber,: We were togetherin a boarding
house, at Altoona. We slept together
in one bed. One" evening while lying
in bed, we talked together in reference
to our earning:4 daring the montb,and
also what debtti we had. When we
had pay-day, and our debts paid, we
livid very little left. What became of
his money, and for what ho expended
it,.l knew not. .1 kne:w for what I
had to expend my money. It was the
neAl, spring to this that I had come
from tb, p6hiteni t iary. 1 had at this
time, no clothes nor money, and to
obtain these had ,to spend all ,my
spare money. In this way it.came to
pass, that at no time had I any mon
ey-. Yi3t I was contented, because I
bad employment and health..
=I
One evening Charley Said to me,
while lying in bed,' if wo had that old
fai•mer's money, then probably we
could get along well this winter, after
'the work stops,'and we hare no, fai
-1..c0me." 1 raid, "what sort of
an:old farmer is Oda soli talk

know this ?" "0," said, be, "Lhare
been several times at his house during
the time I worked at Dudley in the
mine. At different times I have gore
from there to Huntingdon on foot,and
have taken meals at his house. ; ..At a
certain time whale I was, there,
we
talked about gold- and The
old farmer asked, me whether I had
seen any gold or silver in this country.
I no. Then ho said, I will show
you something, but at the time ho
-wished to go Joe some,a wagon loaded
'with stones came, down the road, and
the• teamster wanted to talk with , the
farmer. Ho n•ont out, and after a
good while, came back. In this way
he forgot, to show, mc the, gold. We '
'did not 'on, the subject'agaln., I
am sorry that I did not remind' the
old man 'of it. Perhaps I could have
foubd out 'where ho had the money."
This.is what Charley told me: '1
said, ''how. much do you thin 4 ho
has?" "0," he said, "ho Undoubtedly
.htts from two to three thousand . dol
lars; perhaps more. I said, "I do not
believe this,Charloy, for a farmor,,will
not keep so ittic,i) money in the house,
for he is wino enough to put, it -in the
bank.",,, , Ditp7 „said 'Cbttrley; "I', knOw
that he has us much, at least in the
bnuse." I said to him, "I do, notrwish
to dispute, as I know' nothing .about
the roan."
WIIO SHALL BE TILE VICTIM ?
Some time now elapsed, during
which nothing was said about this of
fair. In the month of October, when
we were paid off, we bad not enough
left to buy, tobacco. Charley said,
"I wish the lightning would strike
into such an affair—worked the whole
summer, and have no money left to
buy a little tobacco! Let us go "down
sometime, to that old miser, I think
we can steal that money." I said,
"what if we are caught at it ?" "0,"
said he, "who will catch us at We I
cannot accomplish it alone, some one.
has to stay outside and watch." I
said to him, ( - Tea must be the one that
goes in,for I am not at all acquainted."'
Ile said,"yes, I will." I said, "what
sort of an excuse will wo make here
at the boarding house, when we go
away ?" He said, "we will tell them
that we are going to Harrisburg, so
that I may obtain my naturalisation
papers."
RECONNOITERING
We went away from there (Altoona)
some two or Oro) weeks before this
murder took place; we left in the 12
rim train. When we came to the place
where the old farmer, Peightal lived,
it was dark; we went into the house
and sat by the stove; while we were
warming ourselves, I did not' feel at
all comfortable about this thing., Af
terl bad, thought over, it more ma
turely, I said to Charley, "let ''us go
away." "0," be said, "we have time
enough." I - still- felt uncomfortable.
We spoke all In German—the wife
could not understand it—she Said- we
.should,,speak Buglieb, so that each
;one in the hous'umight- understand it.
Ctiarloy got angry , at' this,, .ati4 said,

much.of •a desire to, go-to work hero,
because it was near thq,,hease where
Peightal lived. Ho was,also afraid it
woald bealore easily discovered, sho,'d
we rob thorn of-their money., For this
purpose alone, (viz: stealing) I, had in
my ; mind, but never to murder any of
the family.. But Charley said.; to' me,
as we left. McConnellstowa, that,
.wo
could got the money, in no other, wuy,
but by killing these, people., I said,
"My God,,Cburleyi, are you not afraid
of such a thought, ?" I•No,"„said. hp,
"why should•l bo• afraid of it. ; There
aro over so many killed in
,war, and I
myself, have killed a ,sufficient num
ber. This is nothing for me" I said,
• No,. Charley, I will have nothing to
do with this thing;J cannel, do it, nei
then, is it at all necessary.

the money some other way, and thus

it will certainly he discovered, !wheth

must& back 'to 'Altoona; and take'up

:.`Thereupon the• Monday evening fof

in the 9 o'clock train; this was on the
15th of November. . After we.arrived
hero,- at Huntingdon, we went on,first
-to the houlse,oft.h.s man Poightal; we
arrived there , at about half after 12
o'clock at night, and went into the
barn•for the purpose of taking a sleep;
•all in,the house.bad gone to bed. We
laid down and•slopt in the lower! part
of the barn. -Shortly after daybreak I
heard footfalls.; it was the oldlgentle

He answered me that in the day time
he could not &nit, 'and we must wait
untilsthnevening.. Then we wentrap
On the mks , and laid ourselves in the
hay. This was Tuesday, the 16th of
November. We slept there until eve
ning, until it became dark, when we
stepped down`f pin the mow and went
to the house; the family at this time
were sitting doWn at the supper table.
We sat down behind the stove and
warmed' ourselves. After the family
had taken supper they asked us to sit
down also and oat. While wo were
eating, and all the time wo•were in the
house, I felt uncomfortable concerning
this matter. These people received us
hospitably and 'we are - come with

purpose of stealing. „Laaid to Charley
"come, • let us v.": The old gentle.
