CONFESSED THE CRIME.
Otto Eeil wagon's Death-Bed Dec
laration, He la Sal t Have Ackanwledcea the
UtUn artke lee tor Whlrk
Hie Patferr PaU the renalty.
Tbt Qnincy J7r7d of Jan. 1 contains
the following:
Three or four years afro a man of the
lime of Heilwaeon, brother of the Heil
wagou who before drowning himse'f told
Henrv Grimmer that be had murdered
Edward Hogan, was hanged in Rock
Island county for the murder of bis
daugl ter-in-law. The husband of the
murdered woman died recently, and yea
terday the news that be made a confea
aion t pon hia death bed reached this
city, 'There the Beilwagons are so well
knew a. It is reported that he confessed
to ba'nng been the murderer of bis wife,
and tliat his father was innocent of the
crime.
City Attorney Jos. L. Haas, who with
the late lion. Tatrick O'Mara, it will be
remembered, constituted the counsel for
the d ifense, was visited by an Aruus
representative this morning, and be
stated that be bad also learned from pri
vate communication that young lleil
wagoo had recently died near Quincy,
ha vug previously made a confession of
the c 'ime. Mr. Haas is in correspond
ence on the subject and proposes to in
vestigate the matter thoroughly and
learn if there is any foundation for the
repot t. As the same story has herctos
fore gained currency there may be
no iruth in it. though Mr. Haas
is inclined to believe there is, and there
are o hers in the city who have always
sustained the idea that Heilwagon who
was executed in this city in March, 1882,
was he victim of an ignomijious plot.
The circumstances attending the crime
for vi bich the old man paid the extreme
penalty of the law, are fixed in the minds
of tie majority of our citizens. In the
fall of '81 Dora Heilwapon was found
murdered in a field near the home of the
Heil vagons on Hampton bluffs. Suspi
cion pointed to her husband. Otto Heils
wagon, with whom the had not lived
aapi'ilv and also to the latter's father.
The old man's family, however, swore to
unitedly and so strongly against him that
upoti their testimony chiefly he was eon
vicud at the January term, 1882, and
senti nccd to be hung by Judge Smith
and executed by Sheriff Ankrum the fol
lowing Marcn.
The family bad, previous to taking up
their residence in the vicinity of Hamp
ton, lived near Quincy, and after Heil-
wagtn's execution most of them moved
back there.

tbe Following officers were insulted:

served in that capacity for the ledge for
tweity-nine years, this being bis thirtieth
instillation. The success of Trio is
largely due to bis careful management of

Richmond Terrell, the tonsorial artist
under tbe Harper, has lost his left
hani, so to speak. With tbe ad
vent of the New Year Henry Bur-
ris, wbo nas wielded trie razor ana
wai ged his tongue with the celority at
tributed to bis "profesh for tbe past
twelve years, donned a postman's uni
form with brass buttons, etc. Burris got
his appointment upon the recommenda
tion for an additional carrier by Special
Inspector Spangler, a democrat, and it
wai Boss Welle' original intention to let
him traverse the byways and hedges of
Ed je wood Park, the new district. But
Burris asked for a more centrally
locked route and he got it. Car
rie- Doyle was put in tbe Edge
wood district, and Burris given his
rot.te. Thus does Boss Wells display
a petty partisan spirit in making it
as jnpleasanl for the few remaining dem
ocratic carriers as possible, by giving
thrir routes to new appointees. Mean
wtile, George Perry, the Third ward en
thusiast, wonders when he is going to get
his deserts.
Working the Little Citlra.
ttpeaking of the big robbery at Gene
sec Sunday night, the Neusi says:
Petersen's dry goods house was burg
larized last Sunday night. Goods vari
ously estimated aa being worth from
1UJ to 12.UUU, was taken. lhese were
mostly silks. Two overcoats were taken
Tl e thieves broke into the store from the
allay, entering the clothing department.
Mr. French, one of the salesmen, was in
tho store on Sunday, so that it is certain
th'i burglary was perpetrated on Sunday
ni 'ht, nothing having been disturbed
Saturday night. The tools used in
br making open the door were from Mun-
on & Olson's carpenter shop, tbe thieves
htving breken in there and obtained
them.
A gang of burglars went through a dry
gc ods house in Sterling, securing over
tl:,000 worth of silks. Tbe robbery at
G meseo and of Lay & Lyman.in Kewanee
recently, seems to indicate that a regular
oi ganized band of burglars are abroad in
tie slate. The Kewanee robbers were
CJ.ptured in Chicago.
