BIOGRAPHICAL.

William Heilwagon was born in Ger
many on the 18th of February. 1888, anc
was consequently month over forty nine
years of age when executed by the Sheriff
Whena small boy he emigrated with his
parents to this country. and with them
settled on farm in Burton township, neal
Quincy, Illinois. He attended school in
his native land, and also obtained such
sch ooling after his arrival in America, as
was afforded by the ordinary district
school.
In the year 1857 he married Catherine
Shunz, and she survives him as his widow
to mourn the disgrace which his crime and
ignominious death upon the scaffold has
cast upon the family name. Nine children
also remain, of whom Otto, the husband
Of the murdered woman, is the eldest, and
Freddy, baby scarce two years of age, is
is the youngest. The other seven are
Annie, Augustus, Mary, John, Willie.
Henry and Lizzie.
At the breaking out of the civil war
Heilwagon enlisted in Company A, 9th
Illinois volunteers NJ. Jansen, of Quincy,
was the Captain of the company, and w.
Schmidt officiated as Colonel of the regi-
ment. He served two years, with credit
to himself, and was not guilty of any act
which marked him as of a vicious or muir
derous nature. He was discharged, and at
the conclusion of the war received pen
sion for injuries to his fingers, two of
which are badly deformed
After leaving the army he returned to
Burton township. where he remained for a
short time, when he moved to Rock Island
county. He resided in Rock Island for a
few years, and in 1872 returned to Adams
county, where he renamed until last May,
when he returned to this county. taking
up his residence in Hampton township,
where the murder was committed.
His reputation among his neighbors was
not of the best character, as he was gener
ally regarded as petty thief, and always
managed to make way with the stolen
articles SO as to evade arrest He was once
arrested in Adams county for the larceny
of some hay, but effected a compromise
and was discharged from custody. He
bore the same bad reputation among his
neighbors in this county as at one time a
farmer discovered him loading a wagon
with wood that did not belong to him. As
soon as Heiiwagon discovered that he was
found out, he threw back the wood and
drove off
He was man of strong determination,
and ruled his wife and children with high
hand. They stood in fear of him. and al
though cognizant of his criminalities, never
allowed themselves TO inform against him.
He was addicted to drink, and while under
the influence of liquor was fend and a
brute He more than once attempted to
force his own daughters to submit to his
desires, and watched constantly by his
wife and sons.
He was five feet eight inches in height,
rather heavy set, and weighed about $50
pounds. He had light brown hair, light
and gray eyes.

lntil that evening after work had been COM

until that evening after work had been com
pleted.
Tuesday morning the two little children
of Dora's were heard crying. The eldest
came over to the house of the elder He'll
wagon, and Annie, young girl about liz
years of age, returned TO see what was the
matter. The room was found in good
order. The bed had not been occupied
The supper dishes were still on the rickety
table. Both the front and rear doors were
found to be open. Annie Strengthened up
the room, but did not imagine that any
thing was wrong, as Dora had said the day
before that she wanted to go down to
Hampton. and Annie thought that she had
started before sun up, in order that she
could return home by the time the child
rem had awakened. The day drew to a
close. but still no tidings of the missing
woman We're discovered
E. Klinau, the father of Dora. was mott
fed during the day of her. disappearance.
He, his wife and son came over Wednesday
to assist in the search.
Old man Heilwagon returned from work
Tuesday night and told his wife that he
did not know that Dora was missing, al
though he had been told SO by persons on
his way home, and had also told Fricke in
the morning that she had left home.
Little or nothing was done on Tuesday
to find the missing woman, but or Wednes-
day search was instituted, in which the
murderer took part, He and Frank
Klinau took wagon, and rode along the
river. as Heilwagon claimed that Dera had
either run away or else drowned herself
Thursday the elder Heilwagon and Frank
Klinau came down to Rock Island to
search for Otto, as it was thought by some
that she might have gone back to her hus-
band. They failed to find Otto on Thurs
day, SO Heilwagon remained and young
Klinau returned home. On Friday the
elder Heilwagon found his son at work on
a railroad extension near Davenport. He
informed him of Dora's disappearance, and
commanded him to return to Happy Hol-
low and assist in the search. They return
ed that Friday night.
The body had been discovered in corn
field some distance from the house occu-
cupied by the woman in life. 1t was badly
decomposed. The coroner was notified
and arrived during the day. The remains
were taken to the little shanty and an in
quest was held. Near the body was found
a sack, identified as belonging to Otto.
The sack was neatly folded up, and on the
sack was large stone. 1t was ascertain
ed that her injuries were all located in the
head, as it was fractured in two places.
The two Heilwagons. father and son,
were placed in Jail immediately after their
return home, as suspicion pointed to both
of them as being implicated in the dread
full murder.

THE sCAFFoLD.

The gallews upon which the hanging
took place was erected in the extreme
| north end of the Jail yard. It was pro-
tected on three sides by a high beard
| screen. The south side facing the jail
building alone remained without such pro-
lection and was also supplied with stair
case. The object of the screens was to
prevent the execution from being public,
and to obstruct the view of those who
visited the adjacent buildings and other
eminences in the immediate vicinity for the
purpose of witnessing the hanging
The scatfnld was constructed by S. J
Collins, carpenter and builder, and was
erected first at the shop, taken to pieces
and placed in position in the Jail yard.
The platform upon which the exercise
were conducted was eight feet square, and
also eight feet from the ground This plat
form was supported by four corner posts
4x6 inches. On the east and west side of
the platform were the upright posts, 6x6
inches, 16 feet high, upon which the cross
beam or gallows rested The cross beam
was 10 feet long and SxS inches. This lat
ter was supplied with an iron staple and
ring from which the rope was suspended.
The rope was of the best MANILA, 10 feet
inches long, of an inch in diameter.
warranted only to stretch an inch with the
weigh of an ordinary man. The rope was
purchased from NJ Humphrey of ST. Louis,
who makes speciality of hangman's sup.
plies. The moose and knot were adjusted
by him before the rope left his premises.
The knot was inches'long through which
played the rope constituting the fatal
moose. The rope was so tied to the ring
in the cross beam that its length was ex-
actly feet and 10 inches, or within
inches Of the platform A second rope of
the same make was at hand In case OF an
accident
In addition to the rope above described
the cross beam contained another MANILA
cord of different pattern, and for an
entirely different purpose. It was only ]
OF an inch in diameter, and was passed
through the iron ring doubled. This rope
was to be used to support the murderer in
case he found it impossible to stand upon
the platform on account of his nervous
condition. If such proved to be the case,
the rope was to be passed under his arms
and from thence up to the ring in the cross
beam overhead, passing through this the
end would be held BY deputy appointed
for the purpose, who could then hold. him
IN q standing position with comparative
ease.
In the centre of the platform was the
trap door upon which the murderer stood
while everything was prepared. This trap
when held in position by bolts was flush
with the platform, it swung downward and
coming IN contact with post planted for
