MURDER WILL OUT.
A Disinherited Son Charges His Deeeas-
ed Fathers Friend with Murder.
The Body Exhamed After Three Years
Burial-POisOn Found in Every
Pore.


From the New York World.l
After lapse of nearly three years,
during which the evidences of the sup
posed crime had been inferred in an OBJ
scure grave, an alleged pOisOner was
brought face to face with the tokens OF
his crime yesterday. Two months ago
Frederick Siegfried, saddle and har-
ness maker, living in Third avenue, be-
tween One Hundred and Eighteenth
and One Hundred and Nineteenth
streets, called on Coroner Young, and
said that his father, Frederick Joseph
Siegfried, had died in the house of one
Frederick Heggi, at 263 East Houston
street, on the twentieth day of August,
1853, and that he was poisoned by Heggi.
Mr.. Siegfried stated that his father, who
was a man Possessed of about twelve
thousand dollars in money, was buried
in the Lutheran Cemetery in Williams
burg, whereas the certificate of death
falsely stated that he was buried in Car
Evansville and that the death resulted
from gastritis. The place of burial was
only known 10 Mr.. Siegfried, jr., from
his having followed the funeral at dis
tance. Heggi stated to him that his fa-
ther had died in the City of Newark,
New jersey. Soon after the death Heg-
gi produced ., will purporting to have
been signed by Mr.. Siegfried, ST., be-
queathing TO Heggi all his property and
him sole executor of his es-
tate. This viii completely disinherits
son and other relatives
From these facts he desired that Heggi
be arrested Coroner Young, after lis
tening to young Mr. Siegfried's story,
took his affidavit, in which he states:

RADICALIsM, and its twin sister, carpet
bsgisn, in the Southern States are proven
bially lawless and revolutionary. The pre-
sont condition of affairs in Alabama is =
case in point. At the recent election. al
though GRANT carried the State and LEW
Is (Radca) was elected Governor. the
Democrats secured a majority Of the mem
bcrs OF the Legislature. 4 Senator Of the
United States WAS to be chosen to succeed
GEoRGE Z. SPENCER, whose term Of Office
expires on Tie 4th OF next March. In or
der prevent Democrat from being elect
ed III his place, GRANTS United States
hErshal arrested several Democratic men,
beIs on their way to the capital and hur-
Iied them to Mobile on some vague and
trumped up charge of having violated the
election laws of the State. They promptly
furnished bail for their appearance before
the proper Court and forthwith started for
Montgomery, the seat Of government. The
Democratic members, thus having a major
ity in each House, met in the capitol and
organized, ana were recognized as the law
full aud righJful Legislature by Governor
LINDsAY, who then filed the executive
chair. The Radical minority met in a hall
III a different part OF the city. In the SEN
ate, seats were given to four persons none
Of whom held certificates of election. In
the House, three others were given seats
on bogus certificates issued subsequently,
to the certificates nrst given to the Demo-
cratic candidates. In this fraudulent wav
quorum OF each House was obtained, and
LEWIS, the Governor elect, was then inau-
guated and recognized the Rump as the
legal Assembly. The disgraceful farce
was appropriately concluded by the re-elec-
tion Of SPENCER TO the Senate.
u committee representing each of these
bodies has laid its own case before the At
toiney Ge4eral at Washington and solicit

HORRIBLE MURDER OF AN Old Man IN
" AsHINGTON COUHTY.-A shocking mur-
der was perpetrated in the town Of Elders
VILE, Washington county, on Wednesday
night. The victim was John Allingham.
aged 20. He kept small store. and. with
his wife, occupied n room on the first floor.
On that night lie retired at the usual time
and about midnight Mrs. Alingham was
awakened by the terrific report of a gun
fired in the room. and discovered that one
of her fingers had been nearly shot off. A
discovery of far more import was speedy
made; her husband, who lay III bed beside
her, was dead. He had been murdered by
the deadly load Of which her hand received
a stray slug. She raised an immediate
alarm and the neighbors came in. Mr..
Allingham had been shot in the head with
a heavy load Of S!ugs; a considerable por-
tion of his skull was blown away, while
his brains and blood were scattered all
about.
Further Investigations showed that the
shot had been fred from the outside thro'
the window. 1t was evident that the deed
had been deliberately planned. and full
preparations had been made for its execu-
ton. 4 little platform was erected lust
by W ~indow as a rest for the instrument
of death This unique instrument was
also fru.fd. 1t was piece of gas or water
pipe, about five feet long and having a two
inch bore. This strange weapon was heay-
lily loaded with slugs the murder,eTident-
~ was not committed for the purpose of
. robbery. for the building was not entered.
The detectives of Pittsburg were sent to
the scene of murder and have succeeded in
forming a strong chain Of circumstantial
evidence around negro carpenter named
Henry Brceland. Suspicion was first at
tracted towards him by reports of an enmi-
ty that had existed between them for sew
Brio. lon Il l.
innocence, affected great horror at the
news, and asserted he could prove he was
not IN the locality on the night of the muir
der. Detective Cupples went to Paris
Gross Roads, few miles from Eldersyille
where Briceland had been at work While
looking around he found two or three knots
OF wood, which were like pin, upon the
platform, at AllinGham's house and which
he had in his pocket. An examination
proved that they exactly fitted thus en-
couraged the detectives examined further
and found a piece of pipe similar to that
forming the murdeTous missle. He called
upon Briceland and showed him his dis
coFerles, but the negro still insisted that
ne could prove an 0ii65-that he was not
out OF the house on the night. The detec-
tive went to his clearinghouse and was
informed that Bricelaud had gone to bed
early and was about the house early in the
morning. The detectives then went to the
room, and found that n window opened
from 1t into field, and in this he could
trace footprints toward and from Allnp-
ham house. y hidden pair of boots fitted
these tracks, and besides there were finger
marks upon the window-silI blackeued as
If by powder This evidence was deemed
conclusive and BTiceland was committed to
Jail to await his trial He is a desperate
character ana rough stories are told against
him.

DEATH or RFHARE4RIE ADvFSTUR-
ER.-John Franklin recently died in New
Orleans, having run a career such as few
men would care to be debtors to. He was
born in Albany in the year 1926, and was
called John Murray, but soon took his
stepfather's name. He was compactly
built, handsome and thorough sporting
man, to whom Cincinnati. New Orleans,
and st. Louis have been indebted for some
of their most notorious prize fights Be
fore he arrived of age he became q pro-
tessional gambler and adyenturer. Forced
to leave Buffalo when only eighteen, on
account OF fight with a negro, whose
skull he fractured. he went through Cen
tral america TO California. Embarked thence
on the schooner Gamecock for a tilibuster-
ing adventure in Honolulu. His party
were defeated as soon as landed, and he
shipped in whaler to Australia Thence
he went to CallaO, Peru, and finally opeD-
ed a gambling saloon on one of the Chin
cha Islands. He circulated freely among
the cities of Peru, frequently getting in
volved III desperate trays. In one Of them
he killed an attache of the British Lera
ton, and was therefor arrested and kent
III prison for twenty-six months. when
through the efforts of Lewis Csss. Secre-
tary of State, he was released Since then
he has been engaged in gambling and
lighting III the United States. Burdened
with consumption for the last ten wears
he has kept on his feet and been ready for
any excitement. In July last he was taken
to 1t. Paul packed in cotton for a change
OF climate. 1t did him no good, and he
was taken to New Orleans, where, a short
time ago he went to his long account.
