Mkn Killf.u and oyt Injured On
Thursday last, tbe boiler of the steam
saw-mill at Wallaecton, in tbis county.
exploded, Instantly killing Mr. Elijah
Smeal, the owner of the mill, and ilr.
Thomas lions, an employee, and se
verely injuring another man, named
Dt'Il. The body of XI r. liuss was al-
moNt torn into shreds, tho lower ex
tremities being found about one hun
dred yards from the trunk of tho
body, in pieces scattered hero and
there ; his tongue is said to have been
blown out of his mouth, and he was
otherwise so frightfully mutilated,
that we sicken ot a recital of the sad
details, ilr. Smcul bad the back part
of his head blown off, and was appa
rontly killed instantly. Mr. Dell ro-
ooived severe, though not dangorous,
bruises about the bcaa. Ihrco or
four other persons employed about
tho mill luckily oscapod unhurt. Both
the killed wero cstimablo and well
known citizens, and tho latter leaves
a large family, wbo depended on hit
labor for their support.
Thoso who wnro on the mill at the
timn, and twnped, testified ot the
Coronor's inquest tlmt there was no
noiao to indicate any explosion; yet
parties some four miles from the acci
dent, allego that they heard it very
plainly at that distance.
What caused this accident, or how
it occurred, we do not pretend to
know, nor have wo nny desire to spec
ulate on so unpleasant and snd a sub
ject ; but public opinion seems to do
claro that to criminal foolhnrdine
alone can It bo chnrged. Wo are in
formed tlinl the owner of tho mill
who has so awfully paid the penalty
of a disregard of tho warning was of
late frequently warned by men com
pctont to judge, that his boiler was
entirely unsafe, and could in no event
carry sU'itm enough to run tho mill
with aafuty j yet, in the faec of this
positive condemnation oftho boiler,ftir
somo cause tho mill was started, and
the result is as stated: two hnmun
beings hnrried into eternity, and the
lives of thrca or four others endan
gered, and who, os it almost appears,
were by a miracle olono saved.
When all the facts concerning this
accident are known, we sincerely hope
no one will be to blame, yet wc cannot
help but think that human lifo is held
too cheap, when It Is rcktesly en
dangered by crowding it in contact
with a condemned engine boiler for
tin purpose of seouriog few toon-
were untiring in their offorts. l)is
patches were sent to and from liar
rinburg, and at every tinKling of the
gule-keeper's bell the persons present
who were waiting to bo the witnesses
of his execution would scan tho coun
tenance of the party entering, to try
and catch a gleam of hopo or hoar a
dispatch rend staying tho execution.
Alas! they wero doomed to disap
pointment. As the hour of twelve
approached even the most sanguine
gave up the case, and began lo pre
pi.re for tho final sceoe. Tho Sheriff
Lad already waited an hour over the
usual time allotted, but still he linger
ed, as if por chance some accident had
detained a messenger, or aomo ulifor-
seen occurrence hud stopped the mes
sage which would give a few more
days nf life lo the unlortuoate man
Another half hour intervened, and
when tho prisoner was led forth from
tbe cell, be was followed by a most
soemn funeral procession to tho seal-
fold. When being handcuffed,
the sheriff asked him if be had any
thing to say, when ho replied, "tlmt
as God was hie; maker ho never fired
a hhot that night." The noose was
then placed around bis neck. It not
being properly adjusted, the prisoner
turned his head to the one side to al
low its better adjustment. The Sher
iff then drew the white cap over hi
face. During all this time, whilst
these preparntions wero in pi-ogres,
the most careful scrutiny of the man
who was about to be launched into
eternity could not detect the slightest
tremor. lie was calm nod compoucd
throughout. The motion of his lips
could be detected through the cap as
it engaged in oflenne up a prayer.
At twelve minutes to one o'clock
every person had left the scaffold, tbe
two end posts were removed, and no
thing but the prop to which the rope
was attached was left standing. This
rope was carried by two deputy sher
iffs to on open cellar door nearly op
posite, and at a given signal an unseen
hangman pulled the rope ; tbe prop
fell, tho doors banged againta the
bags of shavings placed on the up
rights of the scaffold with a dull sound,
and Gerald Eaton was banging by
the neck betwixt heaven and earth.
Gerald Eaton, with all bis guilt, met
his fate like a man, and guve up bis
life to offended justice amidol the
cencral regret of those who witnessed
his execution.
Tbe facts of the case for which the
doomed man has paid the penalty of
the law are as follows :
Oo the night of the 12th of June,
1SGS, Gerald Eaton and number of
friends met Timothy llecnan in a
saloon at tho southwest corner of
Fifth and Spruce streets, kept by o
man named Sullivan. A quarrel en
sued, which did not terminate until
tho street was reached. Eaton it is
alleged drew a pistol and aimed at
Ilcennn, but was restrained by a roan
named James Trainer, who said '-not
now." The party loft and went to
Trainer's saloon, on Locust street,
near Sixth, whore their pistols were
recharged, and they returned to the
saloon at the corner of filth and
Spruce HtrcoU, where they bad first
met Mr. Hoenan. Finding it cloned,
thry again encountered Heenan nt the
southwest corner of Fifth and Spruce
stroets. Gerald Eaton attempted to
snoot jiecrian again, but was again
prevented by bis friends. Tho crowd
then left, and wero proceodinc down
Fifth street, near Locust, when lice-
nun, who bad previously declared
himself unarmed, followed a friend,
who was drunk, end endeavored to
bring him back. In his efforts to do
so he got within a fow feet of Eaton
and his put t-, whon ba was shot, and
died from tho effects of it next morn
ing. The defence aot up that Eaton
did not fire the shot, and two wit
nesses, one of whom acknowledged
that ho wns a professional thief, assert
ed that some one else seized the pistol
in Luton's bund and discharged it.

The tacts connected with the find

November, in the yard of hor resi
dence. Northeast corner of Tenth and

of having committed the crime, are
still fresh in the minds of the public.

Tbe fall from tho w indow accounted
for tho more extensive tiacluro ulkli
was found across the base of the rkull.
Tho defense was an Ingenious one.
It consisted of medical testimony that
tho blood stains on tho clothes could
have been caused by carryiug tho
hotly ; that tho accused was a peace,
bio and quiet citizen; that a man
named Altgelt had secu two men leave
tbe bouse at an hour earlier than thai
fired by Sarah Campbell fur th dis
covery of the body. Hut after tho
most superhuman exertions, the result
was a verdict of guilty of murder in
the first degroo, rendered on the first
of the year.
Mis. Jwitohcll was then arrau-ned.
but tbe case aguinst her was abandoned
by tho Commonwealth. In Goorge S,
Twitchell's case motions for a new
trial, appeals to tho Supremo Court of
Pennsylvania, and Dually to the Su
preme Court of the United State wore
made, and the reull ia well known, as
is the fact of the ao culled confession
and subsequent UWments given in
support of it.
esterduy morning tbe persons who
were in the vicinity of the Ceutral
Station wore start'ed by the report
that Twitched had committed suicide,
and thus cheated Justice out of one of
its victims. Tbe rejiurt spread with
tha greatest rapidity, and every cir
cumstance rclali vo to the death of the
unfortunate man was eagerly sought
for. There wero many who had care
fully watched the actions of tho con
demned man during the night and day
prior to the time fixed for iiis execu
tion, to whom tho news of bin self
destruction occasioned na surprise ;
for he had broken down completely,
and could not boar the thought uf hit
execution without the most terrible
grief.
Yesterday afternoon Coroner Dan
iels held a formal inquest into the
oauso of Twitchell's death. The ful.
lowing testimony which was giveu
will give more in detail the circum.
stance rotative to the unfortunate
man's demine which we have nice
turned :
Mr. CuNsidy, prison keeper, testified
At about twelve o'clock last night I
stepped op to Twitchell's Ceil, and
looked in, saw him lying on tbe bed
with a blanket covered over the face
and head ; I remained thcro lor some
time, ood seeing no movement called
the watchman ; he came, and, after
looking throngh, Raid, "be is almost
covered over with the blanket: I
think he is asleep." I did not winlt
to disturb hint, as Mr. Uringhurst
wished mat bo should bare a rood
Blcop; before going away on the
eveniutr previous Mr. Bringhurst said
that "George was a clean person and
wisnea lo nave a wash ; ' at two
o'clock this morning 1 visited bim
again ; he lay in the same position ;
at a quarter past five o'clock, after
leaving Eaton's cell, I wont to that of
Twitcboli ; I opened the window and
saw that be made no movement, and
I went in ; I called Goor three time
and he made no answer; 1 then went
in and discovered that he was dead.
Dr. Shaplcigh, the Coroner's phy
sician, testified I have just concluded
the post-mortem examination ; I made
an inspection oftho body this morning
little alter nine o'clock ; tbe body
was lying extended on its back on tbe
bed; the limbs extended; the hands
semiflexed ; the mouth and eyes were
partially open ; there was an appuar.
an oo of repose about the body some
what peculiar; no appearance, as if
there had been any convulsions or
struggle; the body was still warm,
but the hands, legs, arms and feet
were cold ; this afternoon, assisted by
Dr. Butcher, oftho institution, in tbe
prcscuco of Drs. Levis, Dyer, Packard,
Smyth and Adler, a post'-mortera was
held ; the eye were examined first,
and a peculiar darkness of tbe cornet,
was observable ; on the lower lip
there was a stain which could nut be
washed awny; the brain was first
examined, the blood vessels of which
were excessively congested, and the
smell of prussic acid was distinctly
noticeable ; a peculiar red color of the
blood was visible; the blood did not
coagulate; it was fluid and ran upon
the floor; the lungs were in a normal
and somewhat congested condition ;
the heart was flaccid, and contained
fluid blood; the liver was in a normal
condition ; and the stomach contained
but a small quantity of fluid and no
solid ; tho mucous membrane of tbe
stomach was in a state of high con
gestion ; at one point there was ef
luscd. blood upon this membrane; the
upon bis sl.irt; and when asked to other organs were normal ; the odor
account for it said that he had got it ' of prussic acid was verv dii'.inct when
in carrying the body into tbe house. I the body was opened and the viscera,
His attention was celled to the fact removed, leaving no doubttpon the
that be did not wear the shirt when
he carried the bodv, and to this his
only reply was "this is a fatality."
1 ho wile of the prisoner was not taken
into rustotiy itniii tne any lollowinr;
the murdor, when ihe discovery was
mauo mat .-urn. urn, ncr mother, had
thi-catened tneommencc a proseeution
against George S. Twitcbell, because
ho had ernsed her OBnie from the doed
to tbe jiropcrry at Tenth and Pine,
which site had recently purchased. and
substituted that or bis wife, Camilla E.
Twitchell. These fuels were brought
out at tho Coroner's investigation, and
both man and with were committed
for trial. Twitchell secured the- ser
vices nf Messm. Mann. 0 Pvrne, Col
lis, Pratt and IJansford as his counsel,
and their first step was lo eecure the
release ol Airs. Twitchell. on a writ of
hnbfinrorpiit, but the effort failed and
the o.ioe wm called for tnnl December
17, lfi : a severance wns demanded,
and .Mr. Twitoholl wan placed on trial.
A jury was not obtained until Decem
ber 21, and then begun it trial, the
most memorable in our local history.
It lasted until January 1, arid
was a very peculiar one. Tho Com
monwealth, represented by District
Attorney Sheppnrd.iind Assistant District-
Attorney Dechert, established, in
addition to the fucHhiit Mr. Twiichell
was an inmate of the house, and had
pecuniary reasons to wish the death
ot his mother-in-law, that hi white
shirt, which he did not have on when
he carried in the botlv, was nprinklod
with blood that his coat mcev wns
mind of any as to the cause nt dea'h ;
in searching the cell atiin since the
post-mortem 1 discovered in the
right boot this bottlo (a half onnoo
phial, half full shown;) the boot stoud
at the foot of tho bed; the bottle was
wrapped well around wiih a piooe of
light brown paper; it contained some
form of pmssic acid or a eolation of
cyanide of potassium ; the deceased,
George S Twitchell, Jr., came to h?s
dcjtlh from poison, vix. prutsto acid
or some of its compounds; this bottle
is half full, and it is probable that half
of that quantity was taken ; death
ensues In a few seconds after the
poison is administered ; this poison
kills without pain.
