HOPE OAWNS FOR ''L|FER"
Finding of Missing Witness May
Free Brooklyn Man.
I'M SING SING Is YEARS
Sentenced for Killing Man in
1895-Court Now Gets Aft
davit Showing Alibi.

After spending sixteen years Of a life
sentence, John BoehmAn. an inmate Of
Sing Sing prison, may now he set at
liberty upon the testimony of a witness
whose disappearance nearly sent the vic
tim of circumstantial evidence TO his
death. The story came out Yesterday
when Alexander Mayper former AS
sistant District Attorney OF Manhattan,
applied to Justice Crane, of the Supreme
Court TO dismiss two indictments still
hanging over Boehman's head.
According to the evidence which was
produced before Justice Bartlett, of the
Supreme Court Brooklyn, in June, 1899,
Boehman spent the evening Of the pre-
cedinS February 26 with Henry Knaeth
and John II. Seine. Late at night they
took rooms at MiIer's Hotel No. 10
Broadway. Brooklyn. The following
morning Knaeth and Seine were found
dead from gas poisoning and Boehman
was gone. He was arrested later and
indicted for the murder of his compan-
ions and for the robbery of Seine, who
was supposed to have had about SlO0
when he went 20 bed.
Boehman was tried on the indictment
which charged him with killing Knaeth,
while the indictments for the murder
and the robbery of Seine were left open.
At the trial the prisoner declared thai
he had not been with the men; that he
had spent the evening with "Sol" S.
Weinthal at his music hall, in Washing
ton street Hoboken. If Weinthal could
be found. he said he could establish his
alibi But Weinthal could not be found.
on the circumstantial evidence the jury
found Boehman guilty of murder in the
second degree. and he was sent to prison
for life.
At Sing Sing Boehman was a model
prisoner. He learned the tailoring trade.
a short time ago he had an attack Of
typhoid fever which brought him to
deaths door. II was then that his story
was brought to Mr.. Maypers attention.
He sent out detectives and succeeded in
finding Weinthal. who confirmed Boeh-
mans story that he spent the night ~
February 26 1895. in Hoboken. He re-
membered the date, he said in an affi-
davit presented to the court. because
Boehman had visited him to view the
first performance in America Of Babe
Reel. the contortionist.
In making his applicati ton. Mr.. Mayper
told the court that he was about to ask
the Governor to pardon Boehman, but
that neither the Governor nor the Board
Of Parole would consider pardon while
indictments still remained unsettled. He
declared that Boehman had been vic
tim Of circumstantial evidence and that
he should get every chance to regain his
liberty. Justice Crane reserved decision.
