SCENES UPON THE SCAFFOLD.
Huxtivepox, March 9.
* The merning is fine—the sun shining
brightly and large crowds are. already
flackicg in from the country——drriving
by the different trains, in conveyances,
ete.
The vicinity of the prison is already
packed with people and hundreds are
wending their way thither to witness
the shocking finale of the murderers
of the Peightal family.
The night trains have brought théir
quota of visitors, and the borough of
Huntingdon is literally alive with peo-
ple representing the neighboring coun
ties. . Altoona, Tyrone, Lewistown,
Mifilin, Harrisburg, Pittsburg and
Philadelphia are represented. I should
judge that at least four thousand spec-
tators are present.
THE HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS,
by request of Sheriff Neely, were or-
dered to be closed until two o'clock
p. m.
THE GALLOWS.
The gallows, whieh was erected di-
rectly over the spot where stood the
gallows on which M’Conahy was
cuted, aud is in full view of the
windows in, which the convicts were
confitied. The 'scaffold was built bf
substantial timber, the p'atform, or
“drop,” being about fourteen feet from
the ground: + It was formed of two
doors hudg from the outside” frame-
work and meeting in.thexcentre, after
the manner of folding doors laid hori-
fzonta]ly. | These doors were systaingd
in position by a prop under the centre,
which being removed the doors fell
downward and outward. The top
beam to which the nooeses were atiach-
ed, stood about twenty two feet from
the ground. The rope was so arranged
as to permit of about twenty-eight
inches fall; ; dt differed but ttle from
the one used at Carlisle, in the execu-
tion of Adam Titus.
The coffins, of plain pine boards,
stained a brown. color, were brought
into the yard*last evening and placed
inan out-house, out of, sight of the
prisoners.

INTERVIEW WITH VON BODENBERG.
About seven o'clock, last evening,
Miss Kerper, thielady to whom Boden
berg was engaged to be married, visit-
ed, the prison nnd, bad aJengthy inter:
view with him, During her visit she
besought Bohuer to confess ‘the - truth
and clear Bodenberg of the murder if
he could not save his life, but Bohner
replied that as' Bodenburg was with
hismithe night of the murder he: would.
f have to hang with him.
APPEARANCE OF THE PRISONERS THIS
be MORNING,
Bohrer appeared rather unconcerned
in regard to the awful fate awaiting
him. He smoked'a cigar with perfect
nonchalance, and said he slept soundly
last night, as he had drank a bottle of
‘wine last evening, and it made him
feel good. He laughed and talked al-
ternately, displaying considerable lev-
ity.
Von Bodenberg was overcome with
grief, His eyes appeared blood-shot
|and ‘much “swollen, from excessive
weeping. Mentally; he i is in deep dis-
tress, "

Platforms were erected by private
enterprise, around the outside of the
prison walls, where about 400 to 500
people were accommodated at from §2

into eternity.
PRELIMINARIES,
At twelve minutes after twelve o'-
clock the manacles were removed from
the prisoners.
The Sheriff and Deputy Foust ap-
proached the prisoners and taking them
by the arms proceeded to the scaffold.
Bohner ascended the scaffold with a
firm tread, but Bodenberg staggered
considerably, Revs..Clark, Steckle
and Sykes ascended the seaffoldi” Af
ter the condemned were then pinioned
Bodenburg read the following confes-
sion in the German language in a clear
and distinct voice :

God. We will there receive our re-
ward for the deeds done in the body,
be they good or evil. You have so

the name of God. to tell the truth; if
you cannot or will not save my life, at

it. Yoursins are too frightful to al-
low you power to tell the truth. Neith-
er can you humble yourself before the
throne of our Lord Jesus, I can as-
sure you that you. will soon regret it.
So far as I am concerned you can do
whatever you choose, But pray tell
me what pleasure this can be to you
that I be hung with you?

should be believed more than myself,

day we came here. All this: appears
not to have been considered before the
court. All this I did not know in time
or else I would have told all myself at
the time I was asked whether I had

THE EXECUTION,
A German praver was then offered
by Rev. Sikes and an English one by
Rev, Clark. The sheriff then adjusted
the noose about their necks, and Bor-
denburz exelaimed: “0, Lord Jesus
Christ I am coming now take my soul
into thy Kingdom.” The caps were
then drawn over their heads, and as
the ministers left the scaffold the sher-
iff gave the signal. There was a per-
ceptible “thud,” and the souls of Gott-
leib Bohner and Albert Von Borden-
burg were ushered into eternity,
Bordenburg died comparatively easy
in eleven minutes, but Bohner strug:
gled fearfully for fifteen minutes before
death. ‘
After hanging twenty minutes the
bodies ‘were taken down and examined

unable tostate. Rumor says they will
