On Friday morning last, about 7
o!clock,lsfr. David .Long, the, guard in
the jail, wont into Bohder's cell to
sweep it; leaving the door open. As he
was doing so Bohner walked out and
went into the hall, which Mr. Long
discovered, and immediately ran after
him, and caught him around the
waist as he was about to go down the
stairs. Bohner struggled to get loose,
when Long called for assistance. , Syl

came tip the stairway, and was 'told
by Long to get a poker, which he did,
and he was obliged to use it six times,
and inflicted some ugly gashes in Bah- .

It required desperate efforts to get
Bohner back to his cell, and whiledo
ing•so, ho cut Long several times on

time during the night) ;As they were
scuffling, Bohner saw•the keys of the
cells lying on the window-sill, and he
swept them with his hands towards
Bodenberg's cell, but he did not make
any effort io get out. Bohner received
medical attention 'at 'on'ce; and not

It was eticted "some - Weeks age} that' both
Bohnor and "Ito - denberg - vrere engaged in
•writing confessions which they did not want
published until after they Irani 'hung. We
have had these letters placed in our posses
sion and showed'them to Rev. D. Steckel
who talks and reads Gernnin, and is i ßoden
berg's spiritual adviser, and he assured tui
there was nothing in them but ivhat has mit,
'already been made public, with the excep:
tion ottheir former history. Learning this
we came to the conclusion not to publish
them, as they are very lengthy--Bohner's
covering 95 pages of letter paper,. and Dci
denberg's 155 pages of foolscap.' In corn•
pany with Mr. Steckel, we visited Bohner's
cell on Wednesday morning' last, when the
following history of his life was elicited, and
this, he says, is the substance of what he
had written. , . ,• • .
GOTLEIB Btiu NER.
He was born in Wittenburg, Germany, on
the 15th of May, 1830 i his parents Were in'
easy circumstances ;- his father:Wass, farmer.
At the age - of six he'went to school, according
to the custom of the country, and remained
until he was fourteen. He then served three
years as a miller with his uncle: From there
he went to E----e (we' could not -learn
front him the full name,) where, he remained
three years as a guard at the .public parks.
'At the latter part of this service the following
incident occurred: There were a half a doz
en persons (poachers) who stole game from
the parks, and an expedition' was sent out
'against them. An engagement ensued iq
which one of the poachers - was killed and
three wounded, and, also two of the superia-,
tandents of the park were killed. A reward
of $2OO was offered for the capture, dead Or
alive, of the other two poachers, when sonic
time afterward Bohner. saw tyro men in the
park who he suspected as being the poachers
and forthwith shut them. He, alleged that
he could not capture them in any other Way.
lle afterwards entered the - military service
and served for three years, when
~he went
home and again enlisted as a lieutenant:- A
jealousy sprang up between him and-another
lieutenant on account of a girl, when the let=
ter challenged him to a, duel, which he ac
cepted. The duel was fought by ` drawing
lots for the first shot which his opponent won.
He shot at Bohner but merely grazed his cap,
when' Doliner, shot him through the breast
and killed bita. , Ile was fined s3ooo,fdethis
offence; and thew left the service, and return
ed home. He was then 2G years old, and
staid at home until lie:Vras thirty-four. his
parents bath being dead he came to this
country in May 1863, and enlisted in'the 70th
Neiv York regiment for two: years. 7, During
this period another incident occurred; After
the battle of Deepbottom, Ya.; ho was, on the
battle-field and was picking up a knapsack,
when a rebel 'ordered him to Ibi it alone. He
turned-and shot him dead.:. In going off the
field he was wounded in the foot and was
then taken to the' hospital at City Point,
-where he was when the final, surrender Nyne
made. His regiment• was disiniSsed near
.New York; he retrained,-in few, rok about
a year; came to Fhlitidlppiti, MO OVA. re

HOW THE DEED WAS DONE
(Krom - the 1119nItor.) ;•; • , .••••• „ _
Tha folloirig'ataterti'ent is from tha
;jet' of Bodonborg who alleges it is
what Bohner told him recently.
_We
givo it as wo 1.6001176(1a, and have no
edtnuaents to offer.
Every one acquainted with our of

away from that place to Huntingdon
I did not son'Or hear any'more' -•
about
it. Had at different times intended
to ask Charley but never came so far.
On the 19th of Feb. I was lying on
my bed in my cell thinking over our
affairs; how great a, misfortune a few
drinks of whisky'atight bring about;
I also, in this connection came to
think of our bottle; I rose upend flak
ed Charley What had- become • of- our
bottle, "Oh," said he,• "that d--`•-d
Irish woman broke it to pieces." • I
asked him, how did this happen ?
did you not hit her right ? "Oh," said
ho, "I don't know." He now contin
ues: "As I came into the house they
all three sat around
,the table and ate"
and said he ..`-you know where each
one had his seat at the table, you also
have been in at
.different times while
they were seated"bc table," I said,
"yeS;" Then he said, "I Went to the
side'where the old Mati'sat ancl'atood
by the stove; then the Irish woman
commenced to ask what I wanted here
again, that I had been there the last
night and now I was there again but
this night she could not . keep me, I
appeared to her to be,tildafer who bad
not much stomach - for working. Then
I pulled the bottle out of my pocket
and drank-out the last that was in it.
Then I took a pistol in each' hand nod
said neither have I any stomach to
work. I want your money and that
quickly, or shoot every ono of you
Then I held the pistols at them. Then
the old woman said they had nothing
and what !Ahoy-
,;eould not
have. I should go to work, I was a
loafer. This made me mad, and so
likewise it cracked. I shot the old
man through the head and not anoth
er sound escaped him. 'At the 'Beate
time I shot the old man the boy fell
also He groaned around on the floor.
Theo I shot the old woman, but it
seems did not hit her rightly. She
fell back on herehair but said nothing.
Then I loaded again' 2 one of the pistols,
and gave the boy a shot; he thereupon
stopped •his groaning. I now tried ;to
load again, but as I was, loadiog Alto,
old woman caught me by the - arm, and
stood up from the chair and tried to
place herself upon the defence. I how
ever immediately threw her down on
the floor alongside of the,old man.—
Then 1 again:tried toldadfint did not
succeed, for the old Woman picked up
the fire shovel and struck at mo
,and
hit' me'Rin• my 'coat' pocket Where, I
had the bottle, I then also'datight, hold
of the shovel, but she also kept her
hold. I dragged her in this way to
the door. She begged however during
the timol dragged her to the door that I
should spare her . lye ; This , provoked
me the moriCkforeedalie Atiovol from
her hands and Lord! I tell you I beat
her scull to pieces with the shovel.—
As she now showed no tnore,•signs . :of

to the Lauri; took back two hundles•of

THE EXECIITIOM
Wednesday, the day of the execution was
ushered in by a bright and golden sun, and
early in the morning the streets were filled
by a throng'of people,anxiOuslY.liwaiting the
hour when the prisoners would be sent by
the last resort of the law into eternity. Many
n thought was had .for the 'prisoners, and
even the boldest hearted must have felt a
nervous quiver as he contemplated the scene
that was to be enacted to-day. 3 ; **.
All the preparations for the execution had
been made in due time. The scaffold is erec
ted in the rear of the jail, and is twenty-three
feet high. The platform around the scaffold
was about thirteen feet front the ground,and
is reached by steps. The trap doors swing
to each side, and admit of a width when
open of two and a half feet. The rope was
of the best hemp.
The coffins were made of pine and painted
a dark color.
Around the jail wall and a short distance
from it, there were a :number of. platforms
erected to such a'heighi by private citizens
as to a 1 rd a full view a tho Nyboio , pro g ross
of the elocution. •
