I thought of burning it up, selling It J 'ujfdlcal students, throwing it over-ce- l board. Then 1 bit upon what I (bought was the best plan, but in my excitement 1 overlooked the very things that would have saved me harmless. 1 thought I was cool, but, in fact, must have been at a white heat. Uu the day following the murder I went out and bought a saw and a large rubber cloth. 1 drank whisky to steady my nerves. I pulled out the body aud laid it on tbe lubber cloth, which I bad spread on the kitchen floor. Tbe very carving knife which Bohles had intended to stick me with I used to cut off his head. It made me sick at flrst, but I had a flask of whisky which helped me. I put the head out of sights a the eyes, which were wido open, made mo uneasy. Then the work was easier for me. I used the kuife aud saw to cut off the legs and arms. Then I took tbe body aud forced it into Bullies' trunk. 1 put the legs and arms on top of the body. The head I carefully wrapped up in old clothes and newspapers, and put In a bureau drawer. I gut the room cleaned up late in the afternoon, and went out with the trunk on my back. U was heavy, hut I managed to carry It to a liquor store in Grand street, where 1 arranged to leave It over night. Then I went to the room and got tbe beud. I thought as I walked along the streets that everybody was looking at the head. I could hear the voice h Bohles in my ears all the time. I got on the Williamsburg ferryboat at Grand street, and stood in the cold in the rear of the boat until the middle of the river was reached. Then I dropped the head overboard. I thought I heard a cry as It sank out of sight. When the head was disposed of I felt that the crime could never be discovered. I slept easy at home that night. The next day waB Saturday. 1 got an Italian to help me carry the trunk to Henry Bento's saloon ut 295 Kent avenue, Brooklyn. 1 got a label marked John A. Wilson, Baltimore, Mil., to be called for, and pasted it on the trunk. Then I made arrangements to rhip tbe trunk. I called upon Mr. Siegel in Brooklyn, a friend of Hollies, aud told him Bulil-- s hail pons to 1 CAPTAIN UNGPR8 8TORY. I had killed my I was a murderer. best friend. I pressed my hauds over my eyes and tried to shut out from them tho horrible truth. l'gh! There was blood on my bands. This then was the end, the end of Capt. Edward Unger. No It was not the end. Never," 1 cried In my agony, shall It be said that the honorable career of Capt. Edward Unger, the medal of honor man of Wilson's Zouaves, who won bis spurs on a dozen bloody battle grounds under tbe old flag has ended like that. My honorable career. Long since tbe war I had bartered it for tbe life of the low dives along tbe Bowery, for the association of thieves, for a quondam allllnce with the police who learned that when Information was needed of a certain crook or a certain crime, Capt. Edward Unger was the man to seek. And for this reason they did not Inquire too closely into my own dark actions. The man I killed was August Bohles, whom I had known Intimately for three months. In October, 1886, e I was running a little saloon on street The business was not good. I advertised for a partner with some money to go Into some other business. Bohles answered it. He was a fine looking fellow, a German, who had been In this country several years and bad made money In the butcher business In Chicago. I liked him from the flrst glance. He seemed to reciprocate the feeling. lie was at that time In the sausage business, and offered to put up the money If I would go Into a scheme to make sausages cf horse meat with him. I agreed, and be came to my house to live. 1 was then living In two rooms on the fifth floor front of 22 Elilriuge street witty my son Edward, a lad of seventeen. Bohles and I got along very well together, hut we did not do much in the sauEati line, and I was trying to sell ray saloon. E bad money in tbe hank, and paid liaif the hoiu.rl.nld expenses.
