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

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.

In the meantime Scfdcnfadcsfr had made his
escape. ’

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.

rank of corporal in the slh Company, three
days after. 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,

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

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

Meanwhile, however, Nall had found & few
countrymen ol his own among the crews of
some newly arrived merchant ships, who bad
hcardjMic most dreadful stories about the mur
derer Seidenfaden, and had seen him,or at least
fancied they had. 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. It is highly prohabcl
that neither of them had ever seer* him before,
but they nevertheless took their oallis that they
knew him, and that he was not Sergeant Wlg
gers, but tho former shoemaker, Seidenfaden.
They even swore that bo had committed no
less than seven murders in his native placc.ana
that ho had been captain of a band of three
hundred robbers. Kinne even swore that he

The Sergeant still denied everything, but the
ofllccrs could not resist the general feeling a
mong the soldiers, spporlcd bv the evidence of
two .competent witnesses. 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. Alter a, month’s • imprisonment at liar
denvyk, he was conveyed to the prison at Am*
helm. The reason of this delay pn the
the Dutch Government has not been explained;
but it was not till January. 2836,1 hat informa
tion was sent to Casscl, to the Minister of Jus
tice ofElcotorol Hesse, by the Dutch Govern
ment. to tho efleot that. llcinricH Scidcufadcn,
a criminal under sentence of dcalhl was in
prison at Arnheim, and would delivered to
the authorities of Electoral Uesao upon being
properly identified. Some delay seems to have
occurrcn on tho Hessian side, for It was not
till February that a Hessian police-officer and
gcudarms arrived at Arnheim.' Doth these
men knew Seidenfaden: they took him in cus
tody, and on tho Ist March, delivered !dm up
to tho justice, and he was once wore imprison
ed at Ulnttin, , ..... . .*.-
Seidenfaden made no TtllcoipTTo escape by
tho way, mid gave a full account of all that
had btfallon lit in from Uw moment of fata flight
to that of his recapture.
From tho moment when ho appeared before
tho green table at which his judges sat, tho
last six years of his life, so unfortunate and so
brilliant for a manol hla station, wero wiped
out, and ho was onco wore tho common felon
who had broken out of prison and.been retak
en, and tho trial was resumed just where it had
broken off six years before. Bcidhnfaden’fl ad
vocate had oppealed against tho sentence to
the Supremo Court, which, however, rejected
tho appeal, and tho Elector.refused a petition
praying that Seidenfaden**
might bo commuted imprisonment for life.
On Um QUi of February,iSoT.tq) y card after
faia first alrcat, Seidenfaden wo* beheaded at
Bintciu. He mounted tb* xcaflbld with remark-.
iliuliit-
able calmness, courage, and resignation. 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.

-Early in bis life ha had bepn fearfully tortured
by remorse for bis youthful sins, the worst of
which soertTs, however, to have been such as the
world thinks venial. His keen sensibility and
hi? powerful imagination made internal conflicts
singularly terrible. Ho fancied ho wen under
sentence of reprobation, that he bad sold Christ,
that he !waa actually possessed by a demon.
Sometimes loud voices from heaven cried out
to warn him. Sometimes bonds whispered Im
pious suggestions in his ear. Ho saw visions
of distant mountain-tops, on which the sun
'shorn* brightly, but I'rom which ho was separa
ted.by a waste of show.
Ho felt the. devil behind him, pulling bis
clothes. ,Ho thought that the brand of Cain
had been set upon him. Ho feared ho was :
about to break assundcr like Judos. His men- '
tal agony discorded his health. One day ho i
. shbok like a man in the palsy. On another day

While hero bo had occasion to go to Evesham
on business, and Tuesday evening last found
him at tbo Evesham railway station, waiting tbo
; arrival of tbo train for Pvrahore. When tho
train arrived, It was found that tho second
class carriages wero already filled, and ourhero
was requested by tho guard to take his seat in
a first class carriage, the only occupant of which
was a lady and a little girl.
Immediately upon Ids taking his scat, tbo
lady looked daggers, sprang to tho side of tho
carriage, and putting her head out of tho win
dow, shy called out “Guard, guard I hero’s a
soldier; yoav’o made a mistake, guard; put
this soldier out, put him out, I say, guard !’’
No mistake at all, ma’am; tho soldier’s alt right,

the guard, and giving bis whistle a doubly In

ono unworthy passenger, who had proved by
her conduct that all ladles arc not Nlgbtgales.
Tho poor fellow, while relating his railway ad

and declared that during tho whole of his Crir

Wo know Tory well this lino is in Priori Epi

phrase is derived is something like this :
A gentleman who had seen the world, one
day gave his eldest son a span of horses, a cha
riot, and a basket of eggs. /
’ “ Do you,” said ho to tho boy, «(ravel upon
the high road nnttl you come to tho first bouse
in which' thpro is a married cottplo. If you find
that the husband Is the master there, give him
one of the horses. If on tho contrary,
is tho ruler, glvo her an ogg. Return at ‘once
If you part with a horse, but do not como bdek
as long os you keep both horses, jand there
egg remaining.**
Away wont the boy on his mission, and, Jus?
beyond tho borders of his father’s estate, lo f a
modest cottage. ’ Ho alighted from tho chariot
and knocked at tho door. Tho good wife open
ed it for him and courtcslcd.

“No,” bat she would call him from the hay
field. Id he came, wiping ‘his brow. The
young mao told his crmnd.
“ Why,” said the wife, bundling and rolling
tbo comer of her apron, << I always do as John
wants mo to do, ho is my roaster—ain't you

To It John replied <» Yes.”
*< Then” said the boy *» I am to give yon a
horao, which will yon take ?
* ** I think” said John,« as now that by agold

“If wo have a choice, husband,” said the
wife, *• I think (ho gray mare will suit us best.’i
<t Ko” replied John, “tho bay for me—ho is
more square in front, and his legs are better.”
Now uaid the wife, “f don’t think so, tho.
gray more is the bettor horse; and I shall never
be contented unless I get that one,”
“ Well said John, “ If your mind is sot on It,
I’ll giro it up j wo will take (he gray maro.”
*<Thank you,” said tho boy, “allow mo tp

of tho lady- being opposed to tho match, pi* .
elopement became necessary, and tho young
