		A Contemporary Copy ~ The Conquered Banner ~ Handwritten copy of Father Ryan's *"The Conquered Banner". This copy was written by Walter T. Hanes* and sent to Mrs. Dr. Thomas Shields. At the end of the poem he writes "This offspring of poetic inspiration without any acknowledged parentage, I chanced to find, and as it wakened in my heart an echo of the feelings which once incited thousands to deeds of daring I seized upon it, with a hope that you who can so truly give expression to the sentiments of song would take it and set it to music. I make no apology for sending the above piece, as I believe it will give you as much pleasure to sing and thrill me to hear it.

		CDV Convicted Triple Murderers *Albert Bodenburg & Gotlieb Bohner ~* *German Immigrants* CDV image of 2 men in shackles with the names "A Bodenburg" and "G. Bonner" next to their pictures. Albert Von Bodenburg and Gotleib Bonner were convicted of the November 17, 1869 murders of John Peightal (age 65), his wife Sarah Peightal (age 60) and Winfield Scott Garner (age 10) a farm laborer living with them. According to a transcript confession of Albert Bodenburg, the two men conspired to rob the family but not harm them. Bodenburg states that he was to remain outside as a lookout while Bohner actually robbed them. When Bohner came back to Bodenburg he handed him some of the cash ~ told him he would share the silver and gold later, and the pair left on a train for Altoona. Both men were apprehended in Altoona, PA, placed in confinement and returned to Huntingdon, PA for trial. A transcript of a newspaper article on the murders states that the victims were "sitting at supper when attacked". Mr. Peightal and young Garner "were shot through the head and instantly killed. Mrs. Peightal was also shot, though not fatally, and was dispatched with an axe or hatchet." The bodies were then covered with bedding and clothes "to which they set a match, and fled." "Their attempt to burn the house did not succeed. But the smoke and light attracted the notice of persons and led to the quick discovery of the crime." Both men were hanged in March 1870. $350.00 - CDVT5
