The Yjstery SaTCuils & Rscsit MurJar in New York City Cieirei Up. wxri Ucger Yike3 a Full Confession of the KiiHng of August Böhls, ffhosa Bdy Wis Foaal List We?k in Trank Snipped t9 Bittimcre. CLalms to Have Acted la Self-Defense The Prisoner Will bo Arraigned in Court ThU Morning. New Yokk, Jan. 3 Edward Unger, the 'murderer of Angnst Bohle, whose body was found last week in a trunk shipped to .Baltimore, has made a full confession of the killing. Uoger was arrested on Thursday last, and after being a short time locked in his cell he was brought before Inspector Byrnes. In the room was s table on which hid been placed the hammer with which Bohle was killed, the knife and aav ased to cut np the body, and the rubber clothing in which the body was wrapped after the killing. The chair upon which Unger seated himself was eo arranged that he could see little else in the rcom save the bloody weapons. lie was ncbeit if Via wihffi1 in mv iTlhin ITo shook his head, but suddenly said: "Bohle has gene to Chicago, and will turn up in a few days." The inspector was sitting at the table. He had the bloody hammer in his hand, and carelessly asked Un?er what he meant by that, but Tcger would say nothirjg farther then. The sight of the instruments on the Üble seemed not to a fleet him, and the chief of detectives deemed the man stubborn. Inspector Byrnes concluded to say no more to him at the time, but to confront him soon and at intervals with people he knew, and also to confront him frequently with evidences of the killing. Mrs. Siefel, wife of the Brooklyn sausagemaker, was brought to identify Unger. He was much surprised to see her, but was not allowed to talk. On Friday he wa identihed by Mrs. Banz, the Brooklyn sal jon-keep-er'swife, whose husband stored the trunk for Unger while the latter sought an expressman. Every time Unger left hia cell be was confronted by some evidence of the crime of which he was believed to be the author. A detective watched constantly at thsdoor of the cell in which Unger was confined, but utder strict orders not to ret pond if the prisoner attempted conversation, which he did at times. Being Drought many timfs before Inspector Byrnes and his own acquaintances without being allowed to Ulk, at length rendered I'nger irritable and nervous. Friday afcerccoon Byrnei took the hammer, saw, kaile and rubber cloth to Unger'a cell and asked i: he had not seen them before, in a m inner as though Unger had not been ha'f a dozen times confronted with them. Unger was startled, but said he had never before seen the bloody tokens. Then he was taken to court and remanded, and on the way back remarked to Inspector Byrnes: "You are trying to hang me." The trunk with the body arrived from Biltiraore yeeterday. The body was sent to the looigue. That night Byrnes went to UnCer's cell and asked him how he felt. Tretty well," said he, huskily. Then the Inspector unlocked the cell door, and Detective Hickey called Unger into the corridor, where the llgats were turned low. The prisoner stepped forth, but did not see the Inspector until the latter called him by name. As he turned be saw Byrnes standlug buu (JUiuuiJ tue uuu& nanu um ield Bo hies' dead body. Unger staggered at the eight and tottered toward "his cell. Byrnes then took from the trunk a piece of the murdered man's coat, which had been used to wrap the body, and holding it before the prisoners eyes, asked him where the rest of Bohles' coat was. Unger shuddered at the sight of the blood-stiffened garment, and clasping his hands over his eyes was oHvnf tr fall vhen T D t o M xra ITinVov antrSt him and seated him upon a couch in the corridor. He sat down upon it, and, removing his hands, glanced about him. Suddenly, and with a startled groan, he sprang to his feet, asking if he could change his seat, and taking a proffered chair. The sofa on which he had been seated was the one found in TJnger's room alter his arrest. L'nger'a face became ghastly pale, and when agisted to his cell he was almost in a fainting condition. Inspector Byrnes then told Unger he would be near at hand when he was ready totals, and when the inspector returned from sapper Unger had asked to see him. Again Unger was brought to Byrnes' room, where all the bloody tokens confronted him. "I want to tell the whole truth about the business," he said to the Chief. He then told this story, which was taken in writing: "I live at No. 22 Ridge street I have known August Bohle since November, 1SSG. I first met him at my saloon, No. 21 Eldridge street, where he called in answer to - an advertisement which I had put in the Stats Zeitung for a partner. "We could not agree upon terms, and I subsequently gave tip the business at that number. I went to live at No. 22 Ridge street A short time afterward August came to live with me, the arrangement being that he was to pay me half the rent, which was $7.50 per month, and one-third of the household expenses. "On the night of January 20. 137, after supper, my son Edward left the house, leaving Bohle and myself in the rooms. We reremained talking and reading until about ü:3u. Bohle was a very powerful man, and swearing about his hard luck. He called me a . i. to j a mm i was no , ana put my hand up to shove him away. He then struck me on the neck with his nst and knocked tee down. I sprang to my feet and attempted to strike him with a poker, which I had In my hand. Bohle grabbed the poker from my hand, and at the same time he seized a knife from the table and I ran. I . ran to the bedroom and he followed. I picked up a hammer from a c aest under the bed. He made another lunge at me with the knife, and I warded it off, receiving a slight cut in the bnd. 1 then struck him with the hammer. F.e stsggered, and I followed him up and struck him again with the hammer, the hammer sinking into the skull as far as the handle. He stageered and fell back on the sofa dead. This occurred about 10 o'clock p.m. Expecting my son home 111 v 1 - every moment and to avoid my saa seeing what had happened, I took the body from the soa and put it on the floor close by the wait I then took Bohle's sleeping cot and placed It on its side before him and leaning against the wall, covering the ends with mm r.lnthpn. Mt arm snon um hnme. and we went to bed together in the bed-room. 'Where's August? he asked. 'He's gone out,' said L On Friday, January 21, as soon as my boy left the house for his work, I went out to buy a rubber bag to put the body in. I was unable to get the bag and bought two . yards of rubber cloth at b0 cents per yard. I bought a butcher's saw for 90 cents. "I drank much whiiky and got back to the house at 9 a. m. I spread the rubber cloth on the floor and laid the body upon it. I then started to cut him up. I first cut the head from the body and then laid it aside and wrapped it in a paper and a part of his clothing. I then cut both legs off and, I think, the left arm close to the shoulder. I then took Bohle's trunk. The trunk was too short and I cut oil the feet and put them In the trunk. I then put the body on top of the legs and, I think, the arm on top of the body. I took part of the clothes of tbe deceased and some paper, wiped tbe floor with them and then put on top of ti-e body in the trunk. I locked the trunk and lashed it with a rope. I then left my house, after cleaning tip the blood the best I could, locking the door, takiBg the head tinder my arm, which was

Iben wrspped up In clothing belonging to Bohle and also some newspapers. I went to the Grand street ferry, went to the forward part of the ferry-boat, leaned over the f roat railing looking into the water, and when tbe boat got midway into the river I dropped the bead and clothing into the water. I presumed that tbe paddle struck it I went to the house of Henry Siegel, 20ö Throop avenue and learned that Siegel was sick. I told his wife that Bhle had gone ta Chicago

the night before. I then returned to my. house, arriving: there about 3 o clock in the afternoon, and between 5 and 6 o'clock the same afternoon, with tho assistance of aa Italian whom I met in the street and gave him a quarter, I took the trunk to a saloon in Grand street and asked permission to leave it over night, which was granted. I cailed for it on Saturday morning about ii o'clock, brought it out on the sidewalk. I gave a carman SO cents to take it to ths saloon of Henry Benz, No. 305 Kent avenue, Brooklyn. 1 got permission from Bsoz to leave the trunk there a few minutes until I west to Westcoit's ex press office. I told the express man where ha was to call and returned to Benz's etore. I got some mucilage and put this label on the trunk: "John A. Wilson, Baltimore. Md., to be called for." After placing this label on the trunk I left the store and requested Benz to give the trunk to the express man and take his receipt and that I would call for it in the evening. I called that same evening and received the receipt from Benz. "I then left and went home. Before I cut the legs c(T Bohle I think I unbuttoned the pants at the waist, then pulled them down. The coat I cut up the back, and pulled oil before cutting the arms." The statement then identifies the trunk, the clothes of .bohle, and other things connected with the murder, and concludes as follows: "I did cot mean to kill the deeeased. He was a quarrelsome mac, and I believe that my life was in danger when I struck him. The manner iu which I disposed of the body was to save myself and familv from disgrace. KlJWAED All the facts stated by Unger have been corroborated, and he will be arraigned in the Tombs I'olice Court tomorrow morning. The Coroner's Inquest will be held on Tuesday afternoon. THE SESSION OF TUE flOCSE. Committee Reports Received and Bllla Discussed Daring the Forenoon. The House began business yesterday morning with the hearing ol committee reports. The Committee on Education reported against the passage of Mr. Patton'sbill to repeal sections 4.C7Ö and 4.GTO of the Itavisod ötatutes of 18sl concerning tbe appointaaent of students to Turdue University, the object being to remove it from State control and maintenance. There was not a quorum present, and, tLerefoie, Mr. Button said he had hoped that the report would not have been submittel, tie proceeded to attack the institution. It was not a State university. A student who goes there is charged as much as in other iuititutions for bis tuition. It has been beld out as a university for tbe education of farmers' and mechanics' sons, but they had not been benefitted one iota by it. The university was only a benefit to the city of Lafayette and Tippecanoe County. Mr. Boberta suggested that, as Mr. Osborne, the Representative from Tippecanoe County, was not present, it would only be fair to postpone further discussion of the subject until he was present On motion of Mr. I'atton further consideration of the bill and rpport was postponed until next Tnesd ay at 10 a. m., being made the special order for that hoar. In putting the question to a vote it was discovered that there were only about forty members present, but as only a few negative votes were cast the Speaker declared it cirried. The same committee reported favorably on Mr. Barnes bill concerning the publication or sale of pernicious literature, and the report was concurred in and the bill ordered engrossed. Mr. Askren's bill amending the public school law was indefinitely postponed. Mr. Clark's bill allowing County Clerks 10 bents per 100 words tor enrolling the names of late soldiers, their widows and orphans, was favorably reported on by the Committee on Military Affairs and ordered engrossed. The same committee reported adversely on Mr. Robinson's concurrent resolution for pensioning all honorably discharged Union soldiers for the reason that a similar measure was already before the Home, and it was therefore indefinitely postponed. Mr. Gough's resolution far distributing the Treasury surplus among the States lor soldiers' memorials was recommended to be indefinitely postponed by the same committee, and the report was concurred in, although Mr. Cough made a speech against such action. He thought no better disposition could be made of the surplus. At present there was a measure pending that this State give $200,00) for this purpose, but he w&s opposed to this, as the State was already $0.000,000 In debt The Comn ittee on Claims reported adversely to the claim presented by J. W. Murphy for $3,000 for injuries received while acting as a guard at the Northers prison. The report was concurred In. Mr. Roberts moved to reconsider the vote by which Mr. Barnes' bill concerning pernicious literature was ordered engrossed. This prevailed, and the bill was amended by inserting the word "newspaper'' and the words, "giving an account of immoral actions, incidents, etc." The bill was then ordered engrossed. The Committee on Claims moved the indefinite postponement of Mr. Oaborn's bill for the relief of Edwin Kendall and Matilda Hall. The report was laid on the Speaker's table till the return of Mr. Osborn. The Committee on Fees and Salaries recommended the indefinite postponement of Mr. VanSlyke's bill increasing the pay of court bailiffs, and it was laid on the Speaker's table to await the return of Mr. Van Slyke, as was also the bill of Mr. Conger, requiring Cleras of Superior, Circuit and Criminal Courts to itemize their fees, which the same committee recommended the passage of. On motion of Mr. Montgomery it was agreed that when the House adjourned it should be till Monday at 11 a. m. Mr. Fester moved that Us bill fixing the salaries of certain c . u.... oOicers and providing for their fees be made the special order for Wednesday at 10 a. m. A message from the Governor was received, reciting that the State of Indiana had always asserted that she did not receive the amount of swamp land to which she was entitled by virtue of the acts of Congress of 1800, 1855 and 1857, and several attempts had been made to produce before the Land Department at 'Washington evidence showing that large quantities of swamp land were due the State, in addition to those shown by the field notes and on the plats, and records cf the surveys made by the general Government The Governor had appointed, November 15, 1833, George W. Julian, counsel and agent but had abandoned the coarse he had mapped out to show that large quantities of land were due the State owing to the want of an appropriation to carry it out His appointment as Snrveyer-General of New Mexico vacated his appointment as counsel and agent for the State. Governor Gray appointed In his stead, William A. Meloy of Washington City, to assert prosecute and adjust on and before the Land Department of the Government at Washington such claims, he to have 10 per cent, on the money paid or secured to be paid to the State, and on the lands recovered to the State 10 per cent on a valuation of $1.2 per acre. On May 27, 13--M, Governor Gray received a check on the United State's trtaniry as iiemnity for swamp land sold by the Federal Government, which was turned over to the Treasurer of State and credited to the swamp land fund. Mr. Meloy informs the Governor that a very laree nuantitv of land can be secured to this State, but, owing to the clerical force he is obliged to employ to look up evidence, the fee of 10 per cent is insufficient, and he does not feel like proceeding any further in the matter unless his fee is increased to 15 per cent Melor asks payment of his fee of 10

e? cent upon the amount recovered, whhrh as been due since May 27, 1333, and if ap proved should be paid at once out of the swamp land fund. The message was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The Committee on Bights and Privileges reported in favor of the passage of the bill prohibiting the collection of toll of persons attending a religious meetirg. Mr. Foster wa3 opposed to the passage of the bill as against the spirit of the Constitution. He moved that it be immediately and efficaciously sat down upon. Mr. Outler thought the bill ought to pass, as many poor people wre unable to pay toll who wished to attend divine service. Mr. Bieak said that the bill might prevent gravel road companies from collecting a cent of toll on week days, as in his county protracted religious meetings were often held for three months at a time. He moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Ackman said that there mnst be an unusual religious awakening in Mr. Bleak's county. He thought the bill would be a benefit, and would not lead to any more falsehoods than are now told by occupants of vehicles. Mr. Montgomery was opposed to the bill, as if it became a law everybody along the roads would say they were going to church. Mr. Roberts favored the bill. There was a law on the statute book by which frauds upon the road companies could be prose cuted. Mr. Kellison opposed the bill as he didn't want to load down the courts with suits in volving O pence or 10 cents. Here business was suspended to hold the joint convention, nd after the convention the House adjourned till Monday at 11 a. in. ' MR. BAILEY'S CONVICT LIBOR BILL. A New I'lan of Prison M Anacrement Pro ponedOther senate Ullis. An Important bill introduced in the Penate yesterday was that of Mr. Bailey relating to tLe imprisonment of convicts in the In diana State In son North and the Indiana State Prison South, and the employment. government and release of such convicts by the ikiard of Management, and which was referred to the Committee on Labor. The bill provides for the appointment of a Board of Managers for both prisons, to consist of nve members, to be appointed by the Gov ernor, whose terms shall be of four years' duration. Their salaries are fixed at $.300 per year each, in addition to all necessary expenses. The contract system of employing convicts is entirely prohibited, bat the bill frovides that the prisoner shall be employed n such manner as will least affect free labor, and the product of such labor is to bs so dis posed of as to avoid injurious competition in any business of citizens in the Sta'e.

All except life-prisoners are entitled to have set aside for their benefit 20 per cent of their earnings, at least onefourth o? which shall be given to the prisoner at the time of his restoration to citizenship, the balance to be paid to his family in the discretion of the board. Tbe board is to keep a register containing the name, age, nativity, nationality, and history of the prisoner, and of the crime for which be is convicted. Prisoners may be paroled by the board. The salary of wardens is not to exceed $3 000 per year.

By Mr. Bailey: A bill to prevent corporations, where a servant is killed or injured by the carelessness or negligence of a co-employe, from Betting up Buck fact in a suit begun by the injured party or hin representatives in defense of any recovery by him or said representatives.

The committee report on Mr. Jewett'a House bill, (requiring the payment of lawful money to employes weeklv) recommendits passage with an amendment making pay ments every two weets, was presented in the Senate yesterday morning. Mr. Trippett explained the provisions of the bill. saying they were to prevent coal-mining and ether industrial concerns from com pelling their employes to trade out their waeea. The report of the committee was concurred in. Mr. Johnson wanted to strike from the bill all of section 1 after the enacting clause. Air. McDonald desired to retain the first section, because it could affect no man who wished to pay his help. Mr. Howard, of St. Joseph, and Mr. Bailer favored the bill. Mr. Tharp regarded the bill as defective, and would like to substitute for it Senate bill No. 3". Mr. Smith, of We. Is, wanted to amend the amendment by inserting the words "provided demand for payment is made." ' Mr. l owler opposed the bill, as did Mr. Harness, objecting to the firit section. I he vote to strike out tbe first Beet ion was rejected on a division yeas, i): nays, 10 and, a this was not a quorum, the chair ordered a roll-ca!l, which showed thirty-four Senators to be present The amendment was lost by a viva voice vote. Mr. bmith, of ells, ouered as an amend ment to section 1 "provided any employe demands payment as herein required," and Mr. Winter s amendment to this, "and any contract to the contrary shall be void," was agreed to. Inougb there was not a quorum present at the afternoon session, President 8mith opened wide tbe throttle, and an amount of business was rushed through that, under ordinary circumstances, would have taken two or three days to have transacted. Ice consideration of Mr. Jewett a bill was resumed, and an hour spent in amending and adopting the various sections. There was a good deal of discussion regarding sec tion 2. and amendments were oflered by Mr. rowier, Air. ihorp, air. Jiailey and Mr. Drake. Mr. McDonald was in favor of the section as it stood. Section 3 was adopted withont chance, aid sections 1 and 5 were copiously amended. The bill, es amended, is as follows: Section 1.

Mr. Bailey opened the ball for the intro duction of bills and resolutions by getting consent of the President "to oiler a bill or two." He forwarded them to the Clerk In such unceasing succession that his "Mr. President, I desire to offer the following bill," became quite monotonous, and occasioned re monstrances and laughter from the other Senators. The example set by him was fol lowed by others, and about thirty billj were otTered during the last half hour of the after noon. Senator Dresser offered a concurrent resolution that Senators and Representatives in Congress be requested to vote for the bill prohibiting aliens from holding lands in this country, and requiring those who now hold them to relinquish them within a reasonable time, was referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Under the call of committees reports were received without action.

Senator TrlHett offered a resolution that the Committee on Trisons be directed to make the proper Inquiries and to prepare a bill to have the convicts in prisons work on the roads of the SUte and to construct free gravel roads, the counties and citizens to board and care for such convicts. A message from tbe Governor was reid, gl7lng the details of the long-standing controversy between the States of Indisna and Kentucky over the boundary lioe of Oren River Island. Trevious negotiations looking toatettlement of the vexed question have been rendered nugatory, and frequent contentions, often threatening bloodshed, occur between those living on the island. Those holding lands on it and claiming to be c l Iltens of Indiana, make an appeal to the Letrialature to take action to settle the 1 boundary lice. Tbe meesage was referred to

a rpeclal committee of five, consisting of

Messrs. Tharp, McDonald, Zimmerman, Win ter and Campbell.
