NEW TRIAL WANTED.
Alleged Murderers of BOnneka Take
Advantage OF Hildebrant's Con.


Hollidaysburg, Pa, Sept. 10-James
Farrell and Frank Wilson. the convict
ed murderers Of Henry Bonnecka, an
aged Altoona miser. petitioned the
Blair county court today for a new trial
on the grounds of after discovered evi-
dence that is conclusive of their inno-
cence. John f. Weller, warden of the
Maryland penitentiary, at Baltimore.
aud John Williams, Il convict, testified
that Henry Hildebrandt, another con-
Wet. had confessed to them that he was
the real murderer and that he had also
robbed the dead man of Sl1 900, which
he had buried under Il pile Of stones
along the Pennsylvania railroad, near
Johnstown, Pa. This startling confess
sion was made by Hildebrandt last
month and he committed suicide in the
penitentiary the same day through re-
morse. A knit Jacket supposed to have
belonged to Bonnecka was worn by
Hldebrandt.
The district attorney maintained that
Hildebrandt was crazed. The mystery
of the killing was deepened when Bruce
Donaldson and William Kent, two con-
victS in the western pcnitentiary, testi-
fled that j. T.. Bacon had confessed to
them that he had participated in the
murder with Farrell and Wilson.
The hearing will be continued tomor-
row.

Words of a Democrat.

Andrew Jackson, in his FIRST message, as Presi-
dent said: "A depreciation of the currency is al
ways attended by loss to the laboring classes. This
Portion of the community have neither time nor op
portunity to watch the ebbs and flows Of the money
market. Engaged from day to day in their useful
tolls they do not perceive that although their wages
are nominally the same, even somewhat higher,
they are greatly reduced, in fact, by the rapid in
crease of currency, which, as it appears to make
money abound, they at first inclined tc consider
