came out and said to the people if they
thought it worth while to search for God
' fried they should come to his house ;_ we
went ; he was ahead ; when I got there
the people were already searching in and
I about the house ; Lorentz was sitting at
the fire lighting his pipe ; I lit mine, and
said to him "Lorantz, this is too bad," to
which he repliq, "yes, and it is the worst
for me." I then went out and found the
people were,trying to get under the house
to search ; seeing this I went back and told
I Loraritz to go out and show them where
to open a hole ; he said they might search
where they pleased. They then started
to search the barn ; I told Lorentz of this,
and thut he had better go along ; he again
said they might search where they pleas
ed, that he was satisfied. I went up to
the barn to help seitrch:;:came back and
called Lorantz te'conie4ut didn't under

then started across the new afinind, - end
when about half-ivay across it Lorantz
!came, then, after forming in line, we went
into the woods; did not go fur until the
dead body was found. It appeared awful
to me ;•I said "this is too dreadful ! it is
trip remarkable ! that he had innocently
and unconsciously lost his life." Lorentz
was sitting nt a tree and I again said "this
is too hanj," when he said "yes, it is hard,

Some person said they should exa
mine if Godfried had not an axe under
him, when Lorantz said "no, he took no
axe with him, both axes are at home."—
This is all the conversation I recollect ha
ving with Lorantz on the subject. Lor
entz then went up to the corpse and said,
"0, my God ! 0, my dear brother, have
I lived to behold this at you,"
[This witness testified that Lorantz, in
speakir b yi to him of the death of his broth
er Godfried, used the words "he was in
for it," 6r "into it."]
Court adjourned to 7 o'clock.
Clearfield, ra.
some wood, took it into the house and
'made a fire ; we went to the house ; some
one said the house should be searched ; at
Lorantz's request we did so ; some talked
Qf raising the floor ; did not ; could see un
der the house ; we then went to the barn
and searched about it ; found nothing;
started up over new ground and theta for
med a line. Lorantz was then with us ;
I was taking particular notice of his ac
tions all this time ; when the line was for
med Mr. Rishel pointed out the cout 4 se the I
crows had been flying for a few days as
the neighbors had observed, and when he
did so Lorantz dropped his head immedi
'tidy ; this I and others observed: I don't j
know any thing more. Didn't see Lorantz
again tiller leaving the clearing until I
seen him lying on the ground where the
body was found. Rishel pointed in 'the ,
.direction the crows had been observed to
fly by the neighbors. The course he poin
ted out was the direction in which the bo
dy was found.
Cross cx.—l took particular notice ; the
dropping of the head was done when Rish- '
el pointed out the course of the crows ; the
crows were not seen that day ; we were in
the clearing; Lorantz was about two rods
from me, to one side, when he dropped his
head. I live about three miles from All
mans. I was at Sabbath school that mor
ning; there was a party of four of us went
together from Luthersburg ; overtook a
number on the road
I~illiam Rishel, recalled.—Lonintz
sent for me on Thursday evening after
they had made a search in the forepart of /
the day ; I had been away and when I
came home my family told inc that he had
been there and wanted to see rne, saying
that he could always get more comfort I
from me than from any body else ; at the
request of my family I went. When I got
to his house he asked "what are you af
ter?" I told him I thought it curious to ,
hear him say that after sending for me,
and that I had come to hear him talk and
supposed I could put a word in edgwise
now and then. He then began telling me
about his troubles. I told him he should
hope for the best as the bad would come of
its own accord. He then said "your boys
were here this afternoon and told me a
word which I did not then understand
what was meant by it, but I have
since studied it out." I asked what it was.
he said "they us much as told me that the
people of the country thought that I had
killed my brother." I told him not to,
think that queer, that there was more than
one thought so, but I was none of them.
Saidrhe, "if they think so, I am here, and
they may come and do just as they sec . 1
proper with me." After some further talk ;
he said he sometimes felt as if he would ;
hold still if any person would come before
him with a rifle and offer to shoot him. I
told him he should not let such thoughts
rise. He said I shouldn't be afraid that ;
he would take his own life, for he had not ;
given it and would not destroy it. Then
he again commenced telling me his trou
bles with his brothers and sisters ; don't
mind that he related particulars; he said
if he had known the trouble he has had
with them he would have turned back
when within halls4Mle of them when co
ming to this country ; that jibe had known
he would have had so much sorrow he
would, have went where they never would
have heard tell of him. I told him again 1 1
to hope for the best, &c. Ile then told tae
the boys had proposed to make another
search, and asked if I thought he ought to
go along. I told him it would look better
on his part ; didn't say a hether he would
go or not. I asked if lie knew whether
his brother had taken his pocket-book ; he
said he didn't know; but would hunt for it
in the morning. I advised him to go out
the next Corning, if he had no work to d o ,
among the neighbors, and likewise to
write a few lines down here to Clearfield
to his sister Charlotte ; lie said Charlotte
could not go crazier than he was then, and
he would not write to her. Next morning
he came to our house before I was up,
and told me that he had found his broth
er's pocket book in the house. In this
conversation I think he' asked me if 11
thought Marshall, or Marshall's (laughter,
(Godfried's widow) could lay any claim
to the land ; not certain. Ho said, "there
is another thing I would like to know,
that is,
whether Godfried was forced to
marry Louisa."' I replied, that will show
for itself. He said the boys had told him
to look for the poCket-book, but it was too
dark. This conersation was held on
Friday morning bOore sun up. The ru
mors of the people' 'and the flying of the
ravens 'On Saturday 'led me

search for the body, as that Was the only

day I went to church and raised hands ; ;
Lorantz told the people there in my pres
ence that a search was to be . Made, and if
they , chose to go along they. were welcome,.
He told: me to break the' floor • open if I
thought it necessary ; searched round and
could , see tinder the ;house'; went to, the
barn, and. froth thence; up the hill through
the. new ground ;- there formed a line ;
gave directions to the man at the , end of
the left wing wheie:Ave Weald' meet if wo,

the ravens as the direction of search ;
then turned to this man and told him we
would put him on the right wing as he
knew the woods; the line was'fully form
ed, the men placed a rod and two rods a
part ; did not go fur till wo found the bo
dy ; I saw it first ; it lay on the point of a
ridge ; I hallooed "hero he is," and saw
Lorentz running 6 or 8 rods off; I was
perhaps two rods off; he ran as if going
to throw himself' right on the body ; I call
ed to hirn not to touch it ; Lorantz came
from the centre of the line ; ran towards
thc.body, passing some 18 feet to the north
of me ; from the shape of the ground and
the course he was going he could not have
seen the body until within 3 rods of it ;
when I called ho dropped on the ground ;
the body lay north-east of me ; the rest of
the company were west of me.
Bya Juror.—We were travelling north
ward.
The whole comiiany came towards me
when. I hallooed ; the rest all came to me ;
when
,he dropped he let out two or
three groans and exclaimed "0, my ! 0,
my !"
Cross ex.—l would not let the idea rise
in my mind that he had killed his brother.
There was a middling plain path further
back, but no path just where the body was
found. Lorantz had been through there
before he came there to live; had been in
this country before his brothers and sis
ters came ; don't know how long ; his sis
ters came directly from Philadelphia.
By the Prosecution.—When Godfried
was there he and Lorantz kept bachelors'
hall ; Godfried returned from Cincinnati
in May ; they worked together ; don't know
of their quarrelling; I live about 70 rods
from Allmans, their nearest neighbor. In
that woods a man might shoot another 50
yards ofi. There was a thicket about 50
yards behind where the body lay sufficient
to conceal an assassin ; could not have
been shot from the front; descending
ground from where the body lay to the
road, 15. rods, there another thicket; a
ball fired from the road could not have
hit him. without glancing.

Court adjourned till 9 o'clock to-mor

From tie Pen sylvonian October 10th.
Dreadful Riot and Conflagration,
A most awful riot occurred on the bor
ders of our city proper, during the past
night The rowdies were the aggressors,
Land the colored population the sufibrers.—
About 8 o'clock, a gang of rowdies in pos
session of a furniture wagon, which they
had stolen in Moyamensing, with a bin
zing tar barrel in it, came up Seventh
street and crossing South, turned into St.
Mary street. Reports had prevailed
throughout the day that the California
house was to be burned by these rowdies,
and their formidable appearance naturally
' caused mucli appreljei4sion among the
blacks living in fli t aiyieinity. While rap
idly passing dowq c St. Mary street, stones
were thrown, and a -couple of pistols
discharged, by which party cannot be as
certained ; but a report being spread that
white man had been shot, caused much
citement on the other side.
The California louse, at the corner of
St, Mary and Sixth streets, had long been
an object of hostility to the whites. One
cause of this was that the keeper or pro
prietor of it, a mulatto man, had living
with hint a white woman. Soon atter the
rowdies with their blazing wagon reached
the corner, an attack was made upon the
house. The windows were pelted in with
stones, and after a desperate struggle the
blacks inside wore forced to retreat from
the house by the back way. The active
rioters were ut this time comparatively
few, and an half hour at least elapsed be.
fore they gained nu entrance in the bar
room.
The blacks during this time wet e
not idle, and made several rallies down
St. Mary and Seventh streets with bricks
for the purpose of driving off the whites.

' More qlihe Rint.—Thi4 morning, [llth]
,• regret to state, we are called upon to
nl ti •&, more about the riot of Tuesday
it, which continued at intervalsthrough -
oat the greater portion of yesterday. The
FOTFORed cause of the outbreak we have
already laid before our readers, and our
object in this account is to give the facts
as they have come under our notice.—
Our detail, pfsterday, was up to five
clock in the morning, and from that time
to six, there was no demonstration on the
part of the rioters, other than great crowds
of persons in and About Sixth street.—
' From Spruce to Shippey!, many of whom
were well loaded with stones, brickbats,
and other %%capons. At six o'clock, the
State House bell commenced pealing the
"eight taps," (the signal lbr riot,) and -a
gain the whole neighborhood was in a great
consternation. The outbreak this time
appeared to be in consequeice of the col
; oreaportion of the rioters cutting away
and destroying the hose of the Morris
Hose company, while in service—endeav
oring to save froin the fiery element the
adjoining property. The signal having
been givon,the participants hurled in thick
volumns, brickbats and stones, at the hu
, mane firemen, while many of them used
fire-arms. Soon after, however Mayor
Swift and Sheriff Lelar, with n large num
ber of the police, came to the scene, and
finally, after two men had been arrested,
they succeeded in restoring order.
The military, which had been down at
the scene of the first riot, had returned
upon the restoration of quiet, and it was
some time bcfbre they could. be collected
again fir the surpression of 'the renewed
disorders. About it A. Ai. however,
they began to assemble in Independence
Square. Many delays oceured, and it
was nearly 9 o'clock; when n body of five
or six companies, with their ranks but rittr
tinily filled, marched to the seenel • of . aci
'ion. The whole 'were under the cOnd
mand of General - Patterson and Col.' Boh

the horrors of 'the scene. The :flames
meanwhlle spread from story to story un
til theivThole building (four storks ',high)
was completely, enveloped. Previous to
this, however, several fire companies had
arrived on the spot, but were driven. off
by vollies of stones from the rioters'.
Subsequently, several hose carriages
arriving in Seventh street, they ran oil
sufficient hose to lead the water down St.
Mary street, so as to play upon the rooffs
of the houses West of the building on fire.
These were put in the hands of the color
ed people and they used them with sonic
effect, but the fire soon spread to two
frame dwellings adjacent to the California
House, which were soon completely des
troyed.
Scarcely any ccsation of battle oc
curred during the whole time from 9 o'-
clock up till 11 o'clock, when we left to
prepare this hasty sketch.
LATER.—On re-visiting the scene of' ri
ot at 12 o'clock, we found that the fire hnd
extended up St. Mary - street, burning two
brick dwellings and a carpenter shopback.
The heat had also set fire to the frame ta
vern on tl►e lower corner kept by Mr. Mc
llvain; and thence fire communicated to
the Montgomery House adjoining and a
stable in St. Mary street, belonging to Mr.
Bell. The HOPe'Engine was put into ser
vice for the purpose of preventing dam
age to this and the I%.fontgomery House,
but the crowd above rallied, and taking
possesion of the engine,,,ran it up St. Ma
ry street, and carried of the tongue.—
Shortly after, the firemen rallied their
friends and succeeded in re-capturing the
engine and removed it from the ground.
Considerable injury had been done to it.
About 19 oclock, the State House boll
gave the signal for calling out the milita
ry, and this being understood by the rio
ters, a small suspension of hostilities,
though occasionally discharges of fire
arms continued as late as half past 2 o'-
clock.
Among the firemen that repaired to the
scene ou the first alarm of fire being given
was the Good Will Engine Canpany.—
This company ran down to the fire-it
long with the Vigilent, Phoenix and &thine
other companies. The Cood Will "and
Vigilent Engine were foremost, and while
preparing to go inn, service a volley of
fire-arms was leveled at them, by which
Charles Himmelwright, a paper stainer,
was shot near the heart, causing death in
about three minutes. He was a member
of the Good Will. John 'hillock, also a
member of that company, was struck by a
ball en the forehead, infleting a most se.
riot's wound. lie was taken into the A
pothecary store at Filth and Spruce streets
~~lu•re his wound was dressed. In con
s( quenec of this outrgae the firemen made
a rush down the street, chasing the mob,
but were scot compelled to retreat and
draW off their apperatus, in consequence
of being without fire-arms.
