Our deponenf expressing surprise, and
showing il in his looks, Matthias observing II,
said, why are you surprised You remem-
Der in April oflast year, 1851 when ldeponentl
lived in New York, and we lived ia r. York,
into an agre .ment to bug hogs, Rutkowski be-
ing butcher; but when Blaise and Rutkow-
ski we've gone out in the country as if TO buy
hogs, they murdered and robbed everybody
they met. Blaise and Rutkowski killed thir-
teen persons. Blaise killed eleven, Rutko"-
ski two.
Their agreement was to rob and murder,
their chief aim was TO obtain ten thousand dol
lars, and with that to deal in money and Jew
lery in California. In Newark they mere
killed German family-that is Matthias,
Blaise and Rutkowski-frst they killed the
father, next the mother, and then one or two
servants. There were three daug hters; before
they killed them they violated their persons;
they got seventy three dollars and some Jewell
ry; they covered them over while they were on
their knees praying for their lives, and the house
was set on fire, all were consumed. Matthias
said this to deponent. yesterday. Matthias was
willing to spare the lives of the girls, but Knt-
kowski said if they did SO, they 1.-THE girls)
would be witnesses against them, and that they
killed them.
In all cases they had with them tar and ro-
sin, with which they besmeared the bodies after
they had killed them, SO that if the house
should not be entirely consumed, might be
certain that the bodies would burn up at all
events, and thus the mode or way in which
such persons came by their death would be
secret. This family was German family and
farmers.
Murders of this character were committed
in the vicinity of Baltimore. When they
found children, they were taken by the legs
and their brains beaten out. Rutkowski once
by reading a paper in German, which he
understood; after reading an account TO Mat
thias and Biaise, of a murder published ~ that
paper, laughing said to Matthias and Blaise,
no person knows that we have done it. This
murder and house burning was in the neigh
borhood Of Baltimore. The most part OF the
murders were near Baltimore. Whether the
Newark was Newark New Jersey, or Newark
Delaware, is not known to the deponent.
Matthias said they had killed three persons
near Philadelphia, or in Philadelphia. Mat
thias told deponent that they had killed Alto
gether so persons.
Matthias said that Mr.. Kimmel, who lived
in Newark 90 years, they had understood, had
$1,000 in the second story, and his servant
$500 in the third story of the house; they
planned to rob and murder him and the SER
want, but we're prevented putting their plan in
to execution by some circumstances. They
had collected eight thousand dollars in cash,
and about half bushel of jewelry stock, aud
about six hundred watches, silver, and gold,
with and without chains. They are hid in the
mountains under the care of Rutkowski.
This Matthias said TO him, 1 shall not be
hanged. Rutkowsk has band who will
free me-he has many men we'll armed; they
will come around the prison before the sixth
of July, 1852, and try to get in. The keeper
who comes to the door will be killed, and then
they will rush in and rescue me and Blase.
He said he had communication with Rutkow-
ski. Matthias said he had poign ard and two
hundred dollars. He wanted a razor from de-
ponent, and scissors to shave and prepare
himself with.
After getting out of prison, their plan is to
get Liverpool, taking their money with them,
leaving the watches behind. They have q ves-
sci in view, in which to sail to Liverpool on
the same night they get out of prison. They |
have some half dozen places and houses to
rob and kill, and afterwards to go to Newark,
ard kill Ns** and then rob him and get to N.
York. The persons to be killed, after the lib !
GRAFTON of the brothers Skupinski, are at New |
ark. Mr.. ***" Al New York, Mr.. ****, Mr..
x*, dragon in the U. S. A.. Mr.. ****, Mr..
**** Mr.. **T*, all of whom are Poles.
At Philadelphia, they are TO kill the two Of
hcers who arrested them-a black man who
Witnessed against :hem-the richest jeweler !
in Chestnut street, who occupies store at the /!
corner Of a street. The ieweler referred TO II

and who made contract for room in said
house with Ratkowski, for which Ne Was to
