After examining into the financial affairs of many counties in the state, we are of the opinion that the pauper expenses absorb aboat IS per cent. of the total count; revenues.


The paupers are kept in an asylum at Waterloo. The superintendent of this asylum is paid $300.00 per annum, and twenty cents per day for each inmate, whom he has to board, clothe, and provide with bedding, etc. The inmates, 27 in number, are well kept, and have no complaints to

CIRCUIT COURT .- 1848 TO 1882.


During the period the circuit courts of Monroe were pre- sided over by the Hons. Gustav Koerner, W. H. Under- wood, Sidney Breese, H. K. S. Omelveny, Silas L. Bryan, Amos Watts, George W. Wall, and W. H. Snyder.


The number of murder cases during this period is alarm. ingly large, over twenty ! Most of the accused escaped pun- ishment, many cases were nol. pros., with leave to re-instate and never re-instated ; others were acquitted and a few con- victed of manslaughter, to be sent for a term of years to the penitentiary.


Two, however, had to suffer the extreme penalty of the law.


MURDER AND EXECUTION.


Henry Alter. tried for the murder of William Henze, who was found dead in a field of Henry Alter's, in Prairie du Long, on the 5th of July, 1860. Information of the murder was made, by Henry Henze and Rodus Kunkel, to F. T. Klinkhardt, J. P., who, in the absence of the coroner, called a jury and held an inquest. This jury was composed of H. W.

hogs, ou said 5th of July ; that they had not been on friendly terms for some time, and that Alter shot Henze while he (Henze) was going away. The wounds inflicted were in the back of deccased. The verdict of the coroner's jury was as follows :


" We, the jury, find that the deccased came to his death by violence, by shooting with buckshot, and that the said body bas upon it the following marks and wounds, inflicted by Henry Alter, and which this jury find to have been the cause of the deceased's death : all huckshots came from behind ; five of them entered the back of the deceased, two the left arm, fracturing the bone near the shoulder ; oue his right forearm, one his spine, and was cut out of the breast- bone."


Upon this verdict the defendant was committed to jail, and brought there by Thomas Ryane, constable.


The grand jury, at the subsequent October term, was composed of Ilarrison Horine, foreman, John Wilsch, John Koechel, John Whiteside, George L Ditch, John L. Kidd, Jacob Motes, Frederick W. Brand, John Bowman, James Close, Jacob Beck, Thomas Applegate, Harrison Druce, Michael MeDermot. Louis Grossmann, Jesse Wiswell, Wil. liam Walsh, Sr, John Morgansen and George A. Kopp, and found the following true bill, to wit :

State of Illinois, Monroe County, 88


Of the October term of the Monroe County Circuit Court. in the year of our Lord 1860.


The grand jurors chosen, selected and sworn in and for the county of Monroe, aforesaid, in the name and by the au- thority of the people of the state of Illinois, upou their oaths present that Heury Alter of the county aforesaid, on the fi th day of July in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty, at and in the county of Monroe aforesaid, in and upon the body of William Henze in the peace of the people of the state of Illinois then and there living, felonious- ly, wilfully, and of his malice aforethought did make an as- sault, and that the said Henry Alter, a certain gun then and there charged with gunpowder and ten leaden shot, which the said gun, he the said Henry Alter, in his hands then and there held, then and there feloniously, wilfully and of his said Henry Alter's malice aforethought did discharge and shoot off to, against aud upon said William Henze, and that the said Henry Alter, with the ten leaden shot afore- said, out of the guu aforesaid, then and there, by force of the gunpowder aforesaid, by the said Henry Alter, dis- charged and shot off as aforesaid, then and there unlawfully, feloniously, and of his malice aforethought, did strike, pen- . etrate and wound him, the said William Henze, in and up- on the back of him, the said William Henze, giving to him the said William, then and there with the ten leaden shot, aforesaid, by the said Henry Alter, in and upon the back of him the said William Henze, one mortal wound of the


depth of six inches, and of the breadth of half an inch of which said mortal wound he, the said William Henze, then and there instantly died, and so the jurors aforesaid, upon their oaths aforcsaid, do say that the said Hemy Alter, him the said William Henze, in manner and by the means aforesaid, feloniously, wilfully, and of his malice afore- thought, did then and there kill and murder, contrary to the form of the statute, in such cases made and provided, and against the peace and dignity of the people of the state of Illinois.


Amos Watts states attorney. Heury Alter was defend- ed by Abbott and Henchler. The witnesses subpoenaed in bis behalf, were Martin Stahlheber, Thomas Burns, John Barthel, Jacob Horehman, (son of erubbing John) Timothy Duo, and his son Timothy Dun, and Charles Schuckert .a tailor at Red Bud).


The trial commenced ou Wednesday, November 21, 1860, before the Hon. H. K S. Omelveny, and on the 22d the fo !- lowing verdiet was returned, to wit :


November 22, Waterloo, Monroe county, State of Illinois. We, the jury, " finds " the defendant " gilty ' in manner and form as charged in the indictment in this cause.


Signed : Henry P. Comyus, N. S. Peters. Ben Carr, Francis Malchom, Thomas J Erwin, John S. Garett, Fred. Miller, Joseph Rineler, Jacob Snider, William M. Nether- ton, Albert Busen and John G. Schaefer.


-1 motion for a new trial was overruled, as was also a motion in arrest of judgment for insufficiency of the iudict- ment, ard the following sentence passed upon said defendant :


" That he, the said defendant, Henry Alter, having been found guilty by the jury of the crime of murder, be sentenced to he hauged by the neck until dead ; and it is further ordered by the court, that he, the said Henry Alter, be exe- cuted on the 2%,h day of December, A. D. 1860, between the hours of ten o'clock A M. and four o'clock r. M. of said day, in the hall of the jail of Monroe county, Ill., it the room of said hall be sufficient ; if not, then he be executed in the jail yard of said county ; that he remain in custody until said day of execution, and that the sheriff of this county execute this sentence."


This lacouic sentence was duly executed. The room in the hall of the county jail was not " sufficient," and so the execution took place in the jail yard, as will more fully appear from the following certificate. It is written out on a separate sheet of paper. and not endorsed on the death war- rant, as usual in such cases; in fact, there is no death- warrant on file :


Certificate.


" 1, 11. F. Henckler, Sheriff of Monroe county, in the State of Illinois, do hereby certify, that Henry Alter, who was sentenced to be hung on the 28th of December, Isto, by the circuit court of said county, at the special November term, 1×60, of said court, for the killing of William Henze in said county, was, on the 2>th day of December, 1860, at quarter past three o'clock r. M of that day, duly executed, according to the sentence of said court, by hanging said Henry AAlter by his neck until he, the said Henry Alter was dead, and that I did comply with the act passed by the


158


HISTORY OF RANDOLPH, MONROE AND PERRY COUNTIES, ILLINOIS.


legislature of the said state, on the 18th of February, A. D. 1859, by erecting an inclosure adjoining the county jail of said county on the north side, and having such persons present as the said act directs; but that before Alter was hung said inclosure was forcibly taken down by a mob, who overpowered the officers attending said execution.


Witness my hand this 28th of December, 1860.


H. F. HENCKLER, Sheriff of Monroe county, Ill."


We the undersigned, do certify that the above certificate and the statement therein contained, is true and correct, and that we were present at the said execution.


Witness our hands, this 28th of December, 1860.


John Morrison, county judge; Urban Degenhard, judge ; George Tolin, judge. Doctors, K. S. Bollet and Thomas J. Cornell. Witnesses, Paul Schmiz, John C. Morney, Joseph W. Drury, C F. Gauen, Henry Pinkel, G. L. Ditch, Heinrich Kimmel, Cortez Crocker, Nelson Moody, Jewett Varnum and G. Ruch.


The sentence of H. Alter, has by many been considered too severe, and to this day it is thought that a term in the penitentiary would have been ample. Alters had been worried and tantalized by Henze, time and again, and in this last altercation could not control his passion. Murders had been of frequent occurrence in the county and the people were clamorous for a punishment in keeping with the heinousness of these oft repeated crimes.


The sheriff's certificate itself shows plainly how enraged the masses were. The inclosures, erected to hide the death- scenes from the eyes of a blood-thirsty multitude, were torn down by a mob, which had overpowered the authorities.


Executioner, doctors, judges and four fifths of the wit- nesses have passed away to those realms, to which poor Albert's soul took its forecd flight on that cold December eve.


TRIAL AND EXECUTION OF GABRIEL J. FORSEE.


Gabriel J. Forsee was not a resident of Monroe county. He had been indicted by the grand jury of Randolph county, Illinois, at the September term, 1865, for murdering Elizabeth Darwio, whose throat he had cut with a knife "for the value of one dollar," on July 13th, 1865. He obtained a change of venue and was tried before judge Silas S. Bryan, at the May term, 1866. He was defended by Underwood and Hood. The jury who tried him, was com- posed of the following citizens, to wit: William Nagel, W. W. Wallace, Michael Finnerty, Joseph Proctor, Joseph W. Hilton, Renke Renken, Arnold Herchenroeder, Frank Varies, Henry Schmidt, Christian Henry, Jacob Heer and George L. Ditch.


The verdict of this jury is very brief, and bears no date or signatures. Its file mark is as follows : Filed May 7th, 1866.


WILLIAM ERD, clerk.


His honor, judge Bryan, closed his brief sentence of death with the words, " May God have mercy on you."


Gabriel Forsee was a bad man, had served a term in penitentiary for some other crime, and as he had been con-


victed, mainly on the evidence of Elizabeth Darwin, he murdered her from motives of revenge.


The execution took place, as the sheriff's certificate states, on the 2d of June, 1866, between the court house and jail at Waterloo. It is signed by Lewis N. Wilson, sheriff, and witnessed by Dr G. Hoffmann, Dr. H. Rothstein, Engelbert Voerster, M. D., and a "jury " composed of William Hen- ley, Charles W. Meyer, Samuel Waddle, Christopher Fults, John Hirz, Martin Dunn, Valentine Briegel, C. H Kettler, J. H. Wilson, Theodore Repp, Daniel O'Leary and Charles Frick.


It should be stated here, that judge Lynch held court, time and again, during this period. His work was speedy and terrible, and, it is feared not just in several cases. This information was given to the writer from hearsay, and as this chapter is- wholly made up from documentary evidence, the details of cruel and monstrous mob law must be excluded from these pages, The passions during and immediately after the war ran high, life was considered cheap, and the evil deeds of lawless persons exasperated the people to such a degrec, that the word "not" was stricken from their sixth commandment.


Several efforts to bring judge " Lynch " into court proved futile, and it seemed that the people generally were satisfied with what judge Lynch had ordered and decreed.


A QUEER INDICTMENT.


Frederick Heidelberger was indieted May, 1864, for bringing a negro slave into the county. The evidence was that Heidelberger, although warned that he was violating the law, had smuggled a negro slave, who had run away from his master in Mississippi, and made his way to St. Louis from that city to the county, etc. The jury found Heidelberger guilty, and the court, judge Silas L. Bryan, fined him $100 and sentenced him to one hour imprisonment in the county jail. Heidelberger took an appeal, but it does not appear that the case ever came before the supreme court. It was lost sight of entirely. The fine and costs are still unpaid. Heidelberger died February 3d, 1873. ITis estate was put under administration and all his just debts were paid in full.

CITIZENS OF MONROE COUNTY IN STATE OFFICES.


George Forquer, the founder of Waterloo, was attorney- general from January 23, 1829, to December 3, 1832, on which day he resigned the office.


* W. R. Morrison, the honored member from Monroe, was Speaker of tho Ilouse, 1858 to 1860.


John D. Whiteside was state treasurer from March 4, 1837, to March 6, 1841. The Whitesides came to this region about one hundred years ago. John J. Whiteside founded the now defunet town of Washington, on the Kas- kaskia, about the year 1795.


William If. Bissell was elected governor of Illinois in 1856, was inaugurated on the 12th of January, 1857, and died at Springfield, March 15, 1860. (Note from the " Amer- iean Encyclopedia.") Gov. Bissell was born near Coopers- town, N. Y., April 25, 1811. He took the degree of M. D. at the Jefferson Medical College, l'hiladelphia, in 183); practiced medicine two years at Painted Post, N. Y .; re- moved to Monroe county, Illinois, in 1837; was elected to the state legislature in 1840, and there earned distinction as a foreible and ready debater. Ile subsequently studied and practiced law, and was elected prosceuting attorney of the St. Clair district in 1844. He served in the Mexican war in 1846 as colonel of the 2d Illinois volunteers, and distin- guished himself at Buena Vista. On his return home in 1849 he was elected without opposition a representative in Congress, in which capacity he served till 1855, resisting the repeal of the Missouri compromise, though he had previ- ously acted with the Democratie party, and gaining muell reputation in the North by his defiant bearing in a contro- versy with Jefferson Davis respecting the comparative brave- ry of Northern and Southern soldiers. Davis challenged him, and he accepted the challenge, selecting muskets as the weapons to be used, at so short a distance as to make the duel probably fatal to both parties. Finally the quarrel was compromised and the challenge withdrawn.
