CONVICTED.
lightning Will Strike the Man Ac-
cused of Numbering the
Frehrs at Buffalo.
HIS CRIME WAS a BOLD ONE
Did It So He Could Obtain Their
Property drS Chen Forged
Signature.

Buffalo. n. y, Jan. IS - Charles
Bonier. Il years old, has been found
guilty Of murder IL the first degree for
killing Franz and Johanna Frehr. an
old German couple. in their home, Nov.
10, 1903. The verdict carries the death
sentence with il. The Frehrs, who
We're murdered for their money. had
been thrifty. They owned the house
they lived i'll and other property. They
also had considerable money and kept
several hundred dollars in gold in their
house. Bonier was Il constant visitor
at their home during the summer Of
1908. He first tried to induce the
Frehrs to sell their property to him.
They refused. He then asked them TO
take him as i boarder. Again they
refused.
Were Annoyed by His Calls.
Bonier continued to call Oh them,
much 10 their annoyance. as they
feared he was trying TO cheat them
out of their property. The Frehrs We're
last seen alive on Nov. is, 1903. When
relatives called at their House on Nov.
II they found BOnier i'll possession. He
Informed them that Mr.. and Mrs.
Frehr had sold the property TO him
and had left the city to enter an old
folks home. Search by relatives failed
to disclose their whereabouts. They
became suspicious of foul play, and
the police We're Informed.
Proceedings Against Bonier.
John Doe proceedings were insti-
tuted to bring Bonier into court TO tell
what he knew about the disappear
ance of the Frehrs. In response to the
summons Bonier appeared beforeJudge
Murphy on Dee. !. An adjournment
was taken until the following day.
When court convened BOnier was not
present. The police then became con-
WINGED that murder had been commit
ted. and thorough search of the Frehr
premises was begun.
Murdered Couple Is FOnnd.
Buried in shallow graves beneath a
pile of lumber in Il small OuthOuse they
found the bodies of the Old man and
his wife Their heads lad been bat
tered in with hammer which was
found in the shed. Twelve hours aft
er the bodies We're found Bonier was
arrested in Erie. Pa, whence he had
fed under an assumed name. BOnier
told the police an ingenious story to
the effect that he had bought the
Frehr property. but that they had left
the city before he could obtain their
signatures to the deeds. Fearing that
he would lose his money he forged
Frehr'S signature to the transfers.
