ulNneO, WCCnele Del y. uuuoA age ut was btut
subject to the restraint O. his guardian Weder
Merchant, of Rosenfelt, Wu.T .TtemDurg. IL appears
that the young man was enhled 10 consider
abe sum Of money on reaching nus majority.
THIS money was in the hands OF MS guardian,
who was in the habit OF remitting MIN certain
sums TO ray his present expenses. In his int-
macy with Haddopp he had revealed this fact,
together with the name and residence, OF his
guardian. HaddopD =, bnee resolved upon
securing portiog.s OF these reuiNaneeI lQg his
onr 'n'. uai use, The only impairment that
s,srcart d to him to lie in his way was the life of
his friend and companion. 1t seems that Had
dopp spent the time, or most of the time, from
September 25 TO October rs, 1865, at the farm of
DR. TiedemaD, which he knew to be unoccupied.
His familiarity with this ground doubtless led
him to select 1t as the scene OF his atrocious
deed.
The crime once committed his courage ap-
pears to have wavered, for 1t was not until the
9Th OF February following that he made an
attempt to reap any advantages from what he
had done. On that day he wrote letter to the
guardian of Julius Wochele, requesting the
latter to forward him one hundred guilders.
This letter was signed Julius Wochele,n and
some attempt had been made to disguise the
hand, although Gotlieb WendeIly, who had seen
him write while they we're both boarding at
Bests, was able to recognize it as the production
of Haddopp.
The money was forwarded in the form of
draft, in care of Mr.. William L. Kiderlen, OF
No. 420 Arch street, Philadelphia, the Consul of
the Kingdom of Wuremburg, through
tanned from the Foreign Office of Wurtemburg
The draft was cashed at the First National
Bank at Allentown, Haddopp giving a receipt
tor the money in the presence OF Mr.. William III.
Blumer, President of the Bank aflixing his name
thereto as julius WOchele, and swearing TO
the same before Notary. The receipt
was sent to Mr.. Kidderlen, and was produced in
Court at the trial. The prisoner did not deny
having written the letter 10 Weider Merchant,
in the name of julius Wochele but stated that
he had been authorized to do so by the latter
and to deduct from The amount received the
sum of sixty dollars, which he claims 70 have
lent the deceased at Reading. He accounted
for the absence OF Wochele by allegmg that be
was, at the time, somewhere in the West Sub
sequent TO this Haddopp wrote another letter in
the name of julius Wochee, of which the fol-
lowing is translation-

O0f Julius JULIUS 'S"t '%S"otcHELE.
This letter was written but a fe " days before
! tine prisoners arrest. With this sticking in his
| pocket, he went into the bar-room OF Peter
! Spang, at Allentown. A person standing by
no nj n Had-
! dopp's pocket, handing 1t 10 Spang. The latter
read the direction, which was to the widow
Wochele, and said, in some surprise, that he
thought HaddOpp was from Baden, while the
letter was addressed to Wurtemburg. Haddopp
grasped the letter suddenly, and denied that it
was so directed While the prisoner was at the
depot, in custody of the officers, he was over
heard by Spang cautioning his wife to take good
care of certain letters, which the latter talked
OF burning. Spang communicated this fact to
the officers, and by them was instructed to
obtain possession of them, which he did, the
one addressed to the widow Wochele being
among the numbe". Among them was likewise
a letter from MIR. Kidderen, addressed to julius
WoChele, at Reading, in relation to his receiv
ing the money tor which he had written TO Ger
many.
The only evidence that was produced to
refute all this strong concurrence OF circum
stantial events, was proof of the good character
and peaceable demeanOr of Haddopp, and of his
having been seen in Bethlehem on the afternoon
of Sunday, the 26th OF November, 1866. But tC
reDut tnlS preSumptlVe dllOl, Jne prosecutor
showed that there was q morning train on Sun
day. which passed through Gwvnedd Station
near the scene of the murder, shortly after II
o'clock, arriving at Bethlehem at q quarter tt
II O'Clock; by which train the prisoner coulc
easily have reached the latter place. In the
face of all these facts, it was not at all sur
prising that the jury brought the prisoner in al
guilty.
The convicted murderer is a native of Baden
Germany, ana is about thlrty-ive years of age
He is of light stature, and quite intelligent il
appearance, and does not seem to have
vicious disposition from his looks. He is
married man, having wife living at Reading
who was unable from sickness to be present a
the trial During the trial the prisoner ap
peared perfectly calm and selfpossessed; bu
this was perhaps owing, in some measure, t.
his ignorance of the English language, of whlct
he understands but little. After the trial wa
over and his fate decided, the prisoners com
posure gave way. and while returning to the
prison he burst into tears, expressing the wisl
that he might he hung on the next day, although
he still maintained his entire innocence.
