Buffalo, Dec. 4. — Charles Bonier was under examination for four hours at police headquarters. He stoutly de- nied all knowledge of the disappear- ance of the Frehrs, but admitted that he forged the signatures to the two deeds. He said that he paid the $3,200 to, Mr. Frehr for the two houses on Thursday, Nov. 19, hut did not get the: deeds that day. He returned to the Jefferson street house (or them on Fri- day, but neither Mr. Frehr nor hi? wife was thero. The deeds were lying on t(ho table, and thinking, he says, he might lose his money that he had paid, he signed the name of the old man to both deeds' and took them to a notary to have them executed. Tho search begun on Nov. 20 last for Mr. and Mrs. Franz Frehr of 330 Jefferson street was erded about 3 o'clock yesterday morning, when tlh) bodies of tho old couple wero found buried beneath a shed In tho yard -df their lato homo at 339 Jefferson utroot Skulls Crushed With a Hammer. Both had been murdered, and Medi- cal Examiner Danser says that the murders were committed with n ham* mcr that was used to crush in tho skulls of the victims*. __ ^ Charles Bonier, a man 70 years old, who has been occupying the house since Nov. 21, Is suspected of the ciime. He disappeared from the city Wednesday before tho bodies of the aged couple wero found. He was sus- pected to have gone to Erio as a letter from a woman in that city was found at tho Jefferson street house. DotecUvo Sergeant Louis Henofelt of. tn'o Buffalo headquarters notice fore J went to Erie yesterday. Bonier was located at the Morton House shorfiy after 1 o'clock. He registered under tho name of Meyers and was In bed at the time tho officer arrive.!. The clerk informed the detective* that the man registered had no Irani. Tho officers, however, persisted in seeing him. At 3:30 Bonier got up and attempted , to leave the hotel. He was promptly i arrested and locked up at police head- quarters and the Buffalo authorities notified. When questioned by Detec- tive Henafelt and Chief of Police Sul- livan. Bonier stated lie did not\ know anything about the Frehrs. He said he paid them the money on Thursday, Nov. 19. and Friday when he went to the Jefferson street house, the old peo- ple had disappeared. He said that he saw n carnage going away from the house when he arrived. Bonier has not been tidd that he is wanted for murder, and does not know that the bodies'havo been foun.i. He consented to return to Buffalo and arrived with the officers at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He will be charg*?d with the murder of the ase-i Frehr couple. It is not un- likely, in the opinion of the police, that a full confession of the terrible crime win be given to the police in a short tima It is now said that the murder was the result of a conspiracy and that there were one or two other persons concerned in tbg_.lragedy. Those under arrest in Connection with the mnrder of Franz and Johanna Frehr are: Charles Bonier, 70 years old, a farmer, fo-merly of Girdenville. Louise Lindholm\ Honier's house- keeper, who is suspected of knowing all about the affair. Her two children, a hoy and girl, the eldest 0 years old, are held at the William street police station as witnesses. George Moore of No. 431 Emslie street, sai 1 to' \be\ a brother-in-law of the Lindholm woman, and the carpen- ter that a'ded Bonier in the recon- struction ot the shed in which the bodies were found. Mrs. Lindholm and George Moorp are held ostensibly ad witnesses, but are supposed to. know all about th° crimd and the circumstances leading up to i.t Kate Kubn, another relative of Louise Lindholm, and supposed to have knowledge of the affair, is another wit- ness. She has been released because of Illness. Her home is in Sycamore street, nea.- Fox. Conclusive Evidence of Forgery. \I have conclusive evidence that Bon- ier forged the deeds to the property on Cherry and. Jefferson streets,\ sail Attorney Jacob Stern, who is acting in the capacity of attorney for Mrs. BundscHu, a .grand daughter of Mr, Frehr,. and who instituted John Doe OToceedingB, to ascertain, the where- pmm 0mmw ahot#of M^afta'Mrs. I'rshr* \3$% aajourhment,\ costumed At- tprftoj.\ .Stern, \was taken when I learned of these forgeries.

Charles Bonier is the map. who .went before Vincent Burzynski, the notary publtb at No. 537 Fillmore avenue, and had the deed to the Frehr property ex- ecuted, representing himself to be Franz Frehr. • -I». At the request of the district attor- ney and Attorney Jacob Stern^ County Clerk Price has taken charge of the two deeds that figure in the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Frehr. Mr. Price has had them locked in his safe for two or three,days. Ono deed, executed on Nov. 24 of this year, transfers from \Franz Frehers\ t.T Charles Bonlertho property on Cherry street In this deed Frehr is described as a widower. The con- sideration is stated to bo one dollar ons 1B acknowledged by Vlnconti Bur- zynski, No. 537 Fillmore avenuo. The other deed, executed tho same date, transfers from \Franz Frehrs\ to Bonier the property on Jefferson street. The deeds were filed at 10:30 a. m., Nov. 24, which would be on tho same day as they were' executed. Tho signatures on both deeds show agitation and nervousness on the pari of tho writer and there is some simi- larity in tho ehlrography. The author- ities seem inclined, to tho belief that the Frehr signaturo is a forgery and experts will bo put on tho case.

Oil City, Pa., Dec. 4.—A bid of %i for 10,000 barrels of crude oil repre- sented by National Transit certificates was made on the floor of the exchange here. There was a sale of 5,000 -bar- rels at $1.95. With the exception of the year 1895 when certificates sold as high as $2.G5 a barrel the bid and sale is the highest quotation in 25 years, or ulnce theopening and develop- ment of the prolific Bradford field. The advance is caused by the pipe line reports fo>- November, which show a steady increase in new wells but a de- crease in production and a heavy draft on the reserve stocks, especially of Pennsylvania oil.
