He. too, had been deserted by his i aff. father. and so neglected by a profligate mother. Biff that, ns a boy, he was clothed in rags, and had Bjlmto subsist by begging.

BRATTON, YOL 43, roncsa, Mrs. Schcurcr, she overwhelmed them with reproaches, and ' asked what they meant by, letting Funk wander , about .the neighborhood, as ho would be euro to get them all into trouble, by.his imprudence and his tongue. She become more .and more violent, and at Inst declared that the man who was able to ruin them all must be put out of the way. and rendered harmless. The two jnen agreed, or at all events did not contradict her. Mrs. Schciirer then promised to give five dollars and a quart of brandy to the-man who should •make away’ with Funk—at least so Moller and Scidenfadcu afterwards declared. What is.quite certain is that they shared Mrs. Schcurer’s fears, and that they combined, whether in so many w ords or by a sort of tacit understanding, seems doubtful, to put Casper Funk out.of the way, in order to secure them* selves against .treachery or indiscretion on his, part. -. One night, accordingly, they stole privately to Bruckebcrg, carrying a pickaxe, a spade, some bread, bacon, and the brandy which Mrs. Schcurcr had given them. The moon shone brightly as they came beneath the firs, and whistled as a signal to Casper, who immediate ly joined them. It appears that they remain ed standing at the usual place of meeting, and that Funk then led them to his hiding place for tho first time, on’their telling him that they had come to help him to make his hole deeper and wanner. If such was tho case, it would seem that a certain distrust already existed among the confederates, which however van ished on Caspar's part when ho saw the food and drink which he needed yo much, and tho tools which he was told were destined to make his dwelling-place more Comfortable. Ho little knew that the brandy was intended to stupify, and the tools to bury him. On reaching the jjole, they all three set to work with pick and shovel by turns, until they were tired. They then sat down to re fresh themselves, and gave their poor starved and frozen comrade so large a share ot the quart of brandy that he got drunk, lay down beside tho hole, and fell asleep. As he lay there on his back, his skull was fractured with the axe. dud he died without ottering a sound. Whose hand wielded (he axe is still somewhat doubtful, although the examining judge con cluded that it was Mollor’s. Be that as it may.thcmurdcrcr, which cvcrit-wns, now called upon Ins compnninn to help him to conceal the trace of the deed.' Day was already breaking, and the confederates set to work to bury the murdered man in bis lurking place. With considerable difficulty they got the body in. filled up the hole with earth, and covered it.ns well ns they were able in the lime, with turf and dry brushwood to hide the freshly turned up earth. Tho disappearance of Funk, a thief, for whoso apprehension rewards were oflered, cre ated no surprise in the minds of the authorities or Che police none but a few of his old wild associates had only misgivings as- tp his possi ble fate. One day.,however, more, than a year after, In August. 182 G, a stone-breaker, named Kell: had been woiklng iiv the qfthrry;ofßroke bcrgjvilh Moller,' ftndjxtiir'ncd cv filing'To Obcfhkirchcn/wberotboybojbfiyotl.- 'Aa■ they went. albiig • U»e s footpfllh<lhrOllplrTbb' forest; which was, their shortest I '.way hqme, 'Kell said .thatlie wouldihuch like to knoty what hud become of Caspar; ' The question probably was not altogether occidental, for it came out! in the end thalKcil was in some degree implicated in tho transaction, or at least that tho accom plices had intended him to bear a part in it. na they hntTgreat confidence In film.- ‘ Moller an'i awered with a .sly hfHc,' ‘What will you give me ifl (ell you?’ Kell rejoined, ‘I would not mind giving any man a dollar who would tell me the truth.’ They auon struck a bargain, by which he was .to give a dollar and a half, and then to learn what ho wanted to know. Mollcr hereupon led him among ihc fir trees beside the path until.they reached a small mound. On it he stopped, nnd said, ‘As true ns that E stand here, Casper lies buried under the earth beneath my feet since more than a year.’ Although Kcil bound himself to.secrecy by every sort of oath, Mollcr could not be in duced to tell him the name of the murderer. Spite of all his oaths and protestations, Kcil did not keep the secret. In the same manner that Mollcr had betrayed the affair (5 him, he betrayed to the gendarm Kalb, of Obcrnkirch cn; tlmt he knew something about it. and Kalb jot all he knew out of him without even pay up; him fur it. The gendarme, as In duty bound, at once gave information to ihc court, and on the 19th >January, 1827, Kcil, Scidcnfadcn, and Mollcr were arrested. > Being charged with the murder of Casper Punk, they were put in chains and scut to tlie prison in which persons under exam ination aio confined. The authorities did not scruple to proceed in this manner, inasmuch ns there existed grounds for suspicion of so many other offences against the two latter, that they would have been arrested even without Keli's information. The stone-cutter, Kcil, at once made a com plete confession, but could tell no more than ms been seen above. fllerc follows a long account of the finding of the corpse, and of the attempts made by the various parties to criminate each other, and so escape the Judicial consequences. .It is too long for our columns.] The investigation lasted for three yeora, and on the 24th of December, 1829, the chief court nt Uinlcin pave judgment ns follows: Mollcr and Seidenfudeu were to sufler death by the sword for the murder of Casper Funk, ns well ns for various oflcnccs which had been' proved against them during the trial. Mrs. Schcurcr was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for aiding and abetting them in the murder and iu robberies. Schcurcr and XCcil were acquit ted. Both the prisoners who were condemned to : death appealed against tho sentence. Mollcr’a advocate called in question the fact of a murder having been committed at all, and contended that in any case his client ought not to hare been condemned to death, as ho had only as sisted tho.othcr prisoner. * On the Oth September, 1830. the chief court of appeal continued tho sentence* 1 A petition for mercy-was rejected on account of the bru tal and of the offence; tho Electoral rcfuicd to a memorial in Moller's behalf, and was executed upon him at ItinteiiV dn:-UM)4&th of January. 1831, ' , •••••'.

COUNTRY.” moved tho irop waistcoat and substituted soltib other kind of fetters. Whether ho wore this all the years of his imprisonment is hot stated, but on tho night of tlio 13th of April, 1830, he burnt his fetters, broke the iron bars on tho windovw of h!s cell at Rinlein, and escaped, thus forfeiting the right to appeal, or the hope of pardon. By his subsequent confession, it appears that he accomplished all this without any help. Every'effort was made to recapture so danger our an offender, but in voinj not the slightest trace of him could be discovered, and ft was supposed that he had shared the fate of his own victim, and been.murdered by some of his associates. Five years later, in 183 G, the acts which had been dosed in 183 Q. with tho rewards.oflcrad for Seidenfaden’s apprehension,were re-opened, iii order to inscribe the information sent by the Dutch authorities to thccficct that, in conse quence ofinformation given by various persons, a highly deserving non commissioned officer in the Dutch army, called Wiggirs. had been ar rested at Paramaribo, on suspicion of being a murderer named Scidenfadcu, who had made his escape from Elcclorl Hesse. The subset quent examination brought to light the follow ing singular and romantic history : Scidenfadcu, who on his first trial appeared in his blackest colors, shows in far belter ones immediately after his escape. . His life was in imminent peril in Hesse, ar even in any part of Germany, and it was clear that his only chance of safety la.V in immediate flight across the frontier. Nevertheless ho stole back to Obem* klrchcn on the very night of his escape, still bearing the mark of his fetters, and probably even the rings themselves, in order to see his wife and children once more, lie dared not venture into his his house, but sent some per son whom ho could trust to his wife to tell her that ho wished to take leave of her before he left the country, and that she was to reckon upon it that if matters went well with him lie would not forget her and the children. His wife, however,’ sent him word by a womnn who IWcd with her that she would not see him, and that he had better take himself oil' os quickly as possible.' Sdclcnfndcn knew something of Holland from his former wanderings, and thither he directed his steps. Ho begged his way, and met with no hindrance on the road. On the 24th of April he reached Zwoln, near tho lake of Haarlem, after a twelve days’ journey, ac* complihhcd amid privation and terror. Hero he found n boat bound for Amsterdam; he had not a farthing in his pocKct, but the skipper readily gave so strong a man a free passage in return for his services at tho oar. On arriving at Amsterdam , he wanted to take service as a soldier or marine. He applied to a recruiting agent, and in spite of having no passport or proof of his identity, ho was at once Unlisted to go to Surinam*, under ihe name pf William Wiggers, a domestic servant from LubVk.— Men were wanted, and ho reeieved'two ducata bounty, ten and a bail gulden monthly pay, and the promise of a pension from government after, twenty years’ service in-thccblomcfl. •, Allis'was.in the* year Ih.conFc qfaegceof. the revolution’.\m broke but between Belghitlr.enil- Holland,-and llus sbldlerk.who hmi been enlisted for the.colonies were - employed against Belgium.

Soon after his corps look the town of Hosselt, which was given up to plunder for twenty-four hours. There is no evidence that. Scidcnfadtn indulged his thievish propensities on this occasion ; perhaps now that robbery was permitted, it lost its former attraction (or him. Ho employed the. first three hours of the time In conveying his sergeant-major, who was left on the field helpless and mortally wounded, to the Ho*then joined the plunderers, and went with a comrade into a house where there was nothing left but a child in the cradle, They had scarcely left the house, when another soldier rushed in, and instantly camcoutagoin, laughing savagely, with the poor infant stick ing on his bayonet. Stidenfaden declared that the s : ght gave him the greatest pain, and that he could not forget it. Ho and two others then burst into another house, and demanded money of & woman there. With ftar and trembling elm unlocked a heavy cheat, and look out of it a large scaled bag which fiho gnvo them. Well content with their booty, the plunderers went to Urn barracks to share it, anil Scidcnfadcn de clares that he intended to send his part to his wife and children: when, however,. the bng was opened, it was found to contain only copper coin, to tho value of about twelve gu Idem The war in Belgium being at an end, there was now leisure to think once more of tho colo nics, and towards tho end of 1831 Corporal Wiggera embarked for Surinam with ISO men. * The Dutch possessions are bounded by tost tracts of wild country, inhabited by native Ra vages and by maroon negroes. lather, the slaves employed in the plantations continually attempt to escape, and to join their brethren, who have previously regained their liberty. In order to prevent their so doing, and to guard against sudden invasions from the negroes, the boundaries arc guarded >by strong outposts, and forays are continually made in the forests besides. . On one occasion a largo number of slaves had CReoped, and Scidcnfadcn was ordered to pur sue them with a strong detachment. In the •midst of the forest his party encountered one hundred and fifty armed negrocs.lcd by a black named Monday; who was much d'eaded by the colonists. The blacks were overpowered, and (led, and a well aimed shot from Scidenfoden’s gun brought down Monday, severely wounded, and he was taken. This had been long an ob ject of great importance, and Scidcnfadcn was rewarded with a kind of order consisting of a silver pin and chain. ' Almost at tho same lime he w&s created a member of a real order. About a year after his display of courage otllnsaclt-nml Antwerp, ho was invested, In front of tho regiment, with tho-crosa of the Willhelms order of tho second class for his conduct at the taking of tho bat tery at Antwerp, and with n medal cast from , cannon of Hassell, for his share In that affair.

These mfcn were filled with hatred against the murderer, which soon dif fused itself among the garrison, and the colon* cl, who hod sent Seidenfaden to one of the de tached forts, in order that ho might bo out of. the way for a time, was forced to recall him to Paramaribo, and to bring him bforu a court martial. . • * He was confronted with Null, and his broth er-in-law, one Kinne.

Seidenfaden was put under slight military arrest, and had fre quent opportunities of escape. Ho did not, however, avail himself of them, because he flat tered himself that even at the worst ho would not be given up, Onlhc2Bth August, 1835, ho was sent to Holland as a prisoner, after live years of honor oblc freedom, and six weeks of easy-confine ment on board ship, Seidenfaden once more found himself in Europe, itnprisohcd as a crim inal.

The croud displayed considerable sympathy for his'fate, which-was increased by the clumsi ness of. the executioner, who struck three blows.before his hcad even sunk on his breast, and then had to make two more cuts to sepa rate it from ins body. It was said that ho was unnerved at the extraordinary composure with which Seidenfadeh met death. [From Macaulayt* Jliilory-} Sketch of John Banyan.
