Coining Execution of Wm. Donavan
A SECOND PROBST
PARTICULARS OF THE CRIME
Wm. Donavan ' the murderer of the Squibb
wily, is , to pay the penalty of his crimes in the
p son yard at York, Pa.. tomorrow. All the
preparations for the execution have been main
and the is not the slightest probability of
executive list rference.
THR
' The murder,whi h caused a profound sensation
In York county at the s t i me of its perpetration,
resembled in some of . ta details the Deadcn.
tragedy in our own city. 'An entire family tea
victims - to the cruel blows nf , sthe butcher, and
plunder wee the principal object elf.the murderer.
George Squibb, a respectable an inoffensive
old man of Quaker descent, was living witirhis
wife and grand-daughter, on a small farm
situated in a quiet and occluded spot, at the foot
of Dare's Hill, in Warrington township. He had
owned it for many years, and by strict economy
and industry had succeeded in accumulating a
small sum of money which he kept in the house,
and was in the habit of loaning out to his friends
ea neighbors as their necessities required. Ho
was 71 years old at the time of his assassina
tion, and his 'wife was aged sixty-seven.
The little grand-daughter was be
tween eleven and twelve. On the aliening of
4unday, the 17th June, 1866, as appearances in
dicated, about the time they were preparing to
retire to bed, the murderer entered the humble
dwelling and commenced his bloody work. The
honee is eitnated about one hundied and fifty
yards from a public road, leading from the Lisbon
road to , the road going to Lewhiberry, and is dis
tant from the nearest dwelling about five or six
hundred yards. It is an old, dilapidated build
ing, oonetructed of rough logs, but one-story
high, and no one who was not ac
quainted with the character and habits of its
Inmates, would have thought fora moment that
they were in possession of any money whatever.
It would. have been the last place to which a
stranger would haveresortod for robbery or gain.
It has but two rooms on the grouud floor, the
one need as it kitchen and sitting room, and the
other as a bed, chamber. It was, therefore,
pretty strongly et:impeded that some one residing
in the neighborhood, and who was acquainted
with the family,, was connected with the dark I
crime. .
The murder was discovered on Monday morn
lig, about ten o'clock, and the victims of the
brutal outrage must have lain where they were
found, daring the whole of Sunday night, up to
the hour mentioned. George Snelbsker, a grand
con of Mr. Squibb, came to the house about ten
o'clock to borrow an anger, and was the first
. oerson who knew anything of the deed after
the murderers hsd fled. The alarm was im
mediately given, and the neighbors collected
from far and near to witness the awful spectacle
and to devite some means of bringing the guilty
party toluenes!. George Squibb was found lying
nice dowuwaid, upon the porch, with a pool of
As - coagulated blood around him, and his features
covered beyond.recosnitlon with the same. Ho
was insensible but not dead. He lived until half
past twelve o'clock on Monday night. There
'were fourtaen wounds on the right side of his
head, thirteen of which had penetrated to the
tea in, and of course he remained perfectly ninon
k,e lOUs to the time of his death. The little grand
danghter was lying dean in the kitchen, with the
back part of her head crushed in, showing that
the fiend who robbed her of her innocent life,
• - must have accomplished, his purpose by naing a
heavy hammer 'or some similar instrument.
Close beside the corpse of the child, Mrs. Mary
s4mibb was lying in a state of insensibility and
covered with blood. She had three wounds on
the right side of the head, one of which produced
a slight fracture of-the skull,
Mrs. Squibb lingered for several days, death
not having come to her relief until the 28th of
the month. She was unable to speak intelligibly
tip to the time of her death, although ahe retained
her consciousness, and knew all her friends and
acquaintances when they approached her bedside.
At the time of the investigation by the Coroner,
one of the jurymen took her by the hand and
requested her, when he named the person who
injured her and murdered her husband and grand
daughter, to 81,„..ialfy the fact by a pressure of his
band. Several names were mentioned to her
before Donavan, bat when the name of William
Donavan was pronounced, she pressed the hand
of the juror, and thus signified that he was the
man. idhe was Interrogated in the same way aa
to the number of persons engaged in the outrage,
and signified by the pressures of the hand that
there were two.
It seems that Donavan, aboutlive years before,
in a wanton and cruel manner, beat one of Mr.
Squibb's cows so that it died, and Squibb brought
Full against him to recover the price of the ani
mal- It was decided in his favor, and when
Donavan was obliged to pay the money, he
made threats that he would have revenge on
,<Nolbb if it were twenty years afterwards.
Donavan was an ill-tempered, desperate
character, and was the terror of the
neighborhood, particularly when under the
influence of liquor, which was often the case.
Ostrnsibly, at least, he was the owner of a small
proitrty on the north side of Dare's Hill,and it is
',aid that sty( ral executions were pending against
him which hu was unable to satisfy. He knew that
the 'Squibtai had money in the house. The wounds
upon the heads of the victims were all on the
right aide, showing pretty ConcluAvely that they
were Inflicted by a left-handed person, and Dono
van Is a left banded man.
7/IN AIMEST, TRIAL AND CONVICTIOV.
The supposed murderer was promptly arrested,
and his trial took place at York in the Novem
ber following. It resulted in his conviction; but
for technical rearons a new trial was granted, and
this took place iu November last. It occupied
two weeks, and resulted in the conviction of the
prisoner. Judge Fisher presided, and able conn
ed appeared for the prisoner.
The testimony taken by the Court proved that
George Squibb and the two other victims were
last seen alive and in health by Harvey 8011, the
husband of Mrs. Mary Squibb's sister, on Sunday
afternoon about four o'clock—the murder was
committed between that time and Monday morn
ing, between 10 and 11 olelock, when the terrible
tragedy was discovered. George Squibb was
found at that time by George Snelberger, son of
Jacob Snelberger, who is married to George
Squibb's daughter Marta. lie was sent over to
Squibb's to borrow an auger, when he saw his
grandfather lying on the porch In a pool of blood,
and on opening the outer door to search for the
rest of the family, discovered the bodies of his
grandmother Mary Squibb, and Emma Seifert
lying in the roam also welsering in a pool of
blood. Be ran home and inforuled his parents,
and very wen they and a number of neighbors
repaired to the scene of the murder, where they
found the little girl with the back of her head
crushed in and quite dead. George Squibb and
Mary Squibb were still living, but lusensible,
and both of them remained partially so until the
time of their death.
Thu Coroner's inquest disclosed the fact that
Mr. Squibb had been struck over the head with
an apparently sharp instrument, and from the
appearance of the wounds on the head of Mrs.
Squibb, they were inflicted with the pole of a
hatchet or some other blunt instrument. Dona
van although a comparatively near neighbor,
did not go to the house on Monday, when the
whole neighborhood was aroused by the report
of the murder, nor on Tuesday, when the Coro
ner's inquest was held, although sent for several
times,nor did he go there until arrested and ts
_ken to the,honsorgainsthisown will. This strange"
conduct on , the part of Donavan, first exci
ted suspicion against Elm, and several of the
neighbors were despatched to his house to bring
kint to the inquest for examination. The same
persons returned with hint to his house, when
they dlacovered blood on his pantaloons,and aloe
a hatchet which had been newly' ground,pole
and all, and upon .which some traces of blood
were seen. These had been secreted by Donavan
in a hollow gum as it was called. but were after
wards found and the hatchet and the parts og the
pantaloons which were stained, sent to an ex=
imrienced chemist in Baltimore, who, after a care
ful analysis decided the spots were occasioned by
human blood. A part of the sleeves of the shirt
that Donavan wore when arrested, had boon torn
of with the wristbands, but these could not be
found.
The story of the, cow and the threats that
Vonam tuadirequently been heard to make to
consequence of that transaction, was also pat in
evidence. It was also proved that he gave a
number of contradictory statements in reference
to the manner in which the blood came upon hi
pantaloons and the hatchet. _ These_Nere 141
principaleircumatifiliti - Were efferetr alff
proved against the acinised.
The testimony left no room to doubt that the
murder was a perfect butchery in all its details.
The night in which it was committed was dark
and rainy. The thunders wore loud, and the.

about preparing for bed. Mr. Squibb had taken
oil his hat, his coat, and his . shoes and stockings.
They were found close by the arm-chair where ho
was accustomed to place them. The old lady hid
taken off her shoes and stockings, and the little
girl had removed one shoe and stocking—she
had not time to finish the work of undressing.
It is evident from the testimony that they were
about retiring to rest for the night. '
The jury seem to have had no doubt of the
guilt of the prisoner for they returned into court

The prisoner heard the verdict without a per
ceptible shudder—not a nerve-trembled and there
was not even a quiver of the muscles of the face.

Guilty of murder in the first degree! To-mor

suicide in Cincinnati-e. YOUR:Iff Man
Shoots Himself.
[From the Cincinnati chronicle. March 25.)
About half-past three o'clock this afternoon,
people - living in the vicinity of Vine and Long
worth str'eets were startled by hearing the report
of a pistol in rear of No. 21 Longwortb, and
cries of distress Which, upon inquiry, were found
to proceed from a room in the second story of
the building, where a young man, named Samuel
Shotwell, bad just attempted suicide by shooting
himself through the breast, the ball entering one
inch above the left nipple, and producing a
wound that will certainly prove fatal.
Drs. Johnson and Judkins were at once sum-
Moned to the• scene, and did all in their power
to save the rash man, who had made the des
perate attempt to rid himself of the burden
of life. Samuel, so his mother informs us, has
been sick with something like a gathering in
the head for about two weeks past, and has
in consequence been in very low spirits; but
until this morning none of his friends ever
suspected him of an Intention to commit
suicide. The first Intimation his mother had of
any such intention was 'about 10 o'clock this
morning, when upon entering his room she found
it filled with fumes of chloroform, and Surinel
lying on the bed in an unconscious state, with a
ban dkerchief saturated wi th the same over his face.
Removing the handkerchief, she applied cold wa
ter until be revived, and carefully concealing
the chloroform, gave herself no further alarm
about the matter, • thinking that he had no
means of committing, or making another
attempt on his life, but in this she was mistaken,
Samuel having, unknown -to her, a pistol with
which he at last committed the awful deed. Tho
family have been living in the city but a few
d•lys, having arrived here from Memphis, where
Samuel has for several years past been employed
as bookkeeper, in the Notion Ifouse of M.
Bciews & to. At half-past four he was still
alive, but cannot possibly survive till morning.
Terrible Tragedy in Tork County—A
Imatutie Commits Murder.
(Front the Hanover Spectator.]
A terrible tragedy occurred in the neighboring
village of Abbottstown, on Tuesday night of last
eek,which resulted in the death of a man named
Cole. The particulars of the affair, as we have
Ix en able to glean them. are substantially as fol
lows: Dr. David S. Patter, a prominent and,
successful physician, residing in that vilive,some
ceks ago became disturbed in mind, and of late
growing evidence of marked insanity had so
multiplied that a constant watch over him be
came necessary, as at times Ile became violent
and ungovernable, the paroxysms lasting several
days at a time. A stranger sojourning' in the
village, named Cole, from the. State of New York,
offered to stay with Lim and did so for several
days. On Tuesday night of last week, Cole sat
up in the room with the Doctcr, who appeared
to be quiet and manageable. During the night,
however, Cole fell asleep, and the doctor
noticing it, picked up a pitcher and coin
n enced a furious asasault upon him, stri
king, the unfortunate man several terrible
blows over the head, fracturing his skull In a
horrible manner. The noise of the scuttle aroused
the inmates of the house, and help coming, the
Doctor was secured when it was discovered that
Cole's, injuries were mortal. He lingered in
great agony until Wednesday night, when death
released him from his sufferings. The Doctor
Ras conveyed to Gettysburg jail and lodged in
one of the strongest cells for safe keeping for the
present. His insanity is beyond doubt, and we
presume he will be placed in the asylum at Har
risburg.
DISASTERS.
Disaster at Winona, Minn.-20,000
Bushels of Wheat Destroyed.
(From the Winona Democrat of the 20th.1
During the terrible storm of Tuesday night,
and a little after midnight, the large grain ware
house of llticeutchen Bmall, near the corner of
Walnut street, on Front,gave way and fell to the
ground with a terrible crash. It was elevated
above the ground about kiX feet, and stood on
piling, such as some others of • our warehouses
are built on. Thc building was one hundred and
forty feet long and thirty wide, and contained
about twenty thousand bushels of wheat, four
hundred bushels of oats, besides considerable
other property, which was dumped into' a pond
of water that had settled beneath and around the
warehouse. The cause , or causes of this disas
ter is, or are, merely conjectures; although it is
generally conceded that it was on automat of the
water settling in about the piling, thereby taking
the frost out suddenly, and the piles settling at
the southwest corner of the building, which, to
gether with the jarring of the continued and ter
rible thunder, caused it to settle that way; and
when once started, the immense weight brought
the building down almost simultaneously,
crushing the piling and supports beneath, to
ail appearance. like pipe stems. The sight pre
presented by the wreck yesterday was a most
pitiable and disastrous one, as the mammoth
building and its contents lay in one Fhapeless
mass; the building was broken and crushed into
tc thousand pieces, and could be likened only to
a mass of fragments. It is a wonder. to every
one how it could have, bucome so completely
wrecked; and what makes it still worse, is the
water into which the golden wheat was precipi
tated, which fact will make the loss on the wheat
probably three or four times as great as it would
otherwise have been. Hundreds of visitors went
to see it yesterday, and the owners have the sym
pathy of the entire community.
