CHARLES KUGADT HANGED FOR MURDER
Houston, Texas, Oct. 20 - Charles Kugadt was hanged at Brenham today for the murder of his sister.
KUGADT HANGED AT LAST
Washington County Murderer Legally Executed at Brenham Yesterday at Noon
Lost His Nerve and Regained It
Said Nothing except that he had left a written statement by which he was to be judged
Brenham, Tex., Oct. 20 - Kugadt's wife was with him in the jail last night when The News man called. He was nervous but spoke affectionately to his wife. He thrusts his hand through the bars, took hold of his wife's hand and to The News man said: "This is our wedding anniversary. Nineteen years ago today we stood at the bridal altar and I promised not only to love her, but pledged her my best efforts."
The poor woman gave vent to her feelings at this reference to her wedding day in the most heartrending wails. He walked the aisles of the dungeon rapidly, reviewed his case, went over the evidence and the opinion of the supreme court. At 11 o'clock he retired. His sleep was fitful and he muttered inaudibly, tossed from side to side on his couch and would often clasp his hands and exclaim: "My God, my God." He arose at 6 o'clock still nervous and took only half a cup of coffee for breakfast.
At 10 o'clock he complained of feeling sick and laid down. Then the sensational report that he had taken poison flashed over town. The county physician was summoned. He was quickly in the jail examined the prisoner and pronounced the report false. He said he only had a rigor caused by nervousness. The physician administered a small quantity of brandy and retired.
At 11 o'clock he bathed himself, donned his grave clothes, a suit of black diagonal, and said he was ready. His nerves became steady, he was cool and brave and remained so to the end.
At 11:30 the sheriff entered the cell and found everything ready. At 12 o'clock Kugadt was placed in a carriage and driven rapidly to the gallows. He ascended without assistance.
Inside the enclosure Sheriff Teague told him he could have as much time as he desired to make any statement he wished. He replied: "I have left a written statement with a friend and I have nothing more to say." The noose was placed around his neck, he bid those around him good-bye, the black cap was adjusted over his face and at 12:50 Sheriff Teague hacked the rope, the door dropped. Kugadt swung off and in ten minutes was pronounced dead.( October 21, 1898, page 9, transcribed by Peggy Thompson) |

STORY OF THE CRIME
Charles Kugadt was a shoemaker and lived at Washington on the Brazos, twenty-one miles east of Brenham. His half sister Johanna Kugadt was an elderly maiden lady, who had lived with her brother's family for several years, but in the fall of 1896 she concluded that would go back to her old home in Germany to spend the remainder of her life.
On Monday, Oct. 9, very early in the morning, Kugadt drove a two horse wagon containing a trunk and a box. He was accompanied by his sister, dressed in black and was first seen at Whitman a little country store about two miles from his residence, en route, as he stated to the witnesses, Sam Buchanan and J. S. Ewing, to Brenham. At this point he got out and bought a bottle of whiskey and some cigars and resumed his journey, taking the lower of "Good Will" road. Ewing told him that it was a mile and a half out of his way. He remarked that he was going that way to avoid a bad place in the road. Ewing called to him that the place had been fixed, but he pretended not to hear and proceeded on his way. Buchanan who immediately left, going toward his home, which was on the "Good Will" road overtook Kugadt before he turned off toward the Washington and Brenham road.
Other parties along the road saw Kugadt and his sister together in the wagon at different points along the road until he reached Earlywine, a store and gin about seven miles east of Brenham. Soon after they drove into New Year's creek bottom, and this was the last seen of Johanna Kugadt.
About 1 p.m. Kugadt was seen in New New Year's creek bottom, coming from the direction of Brenham. He was alone in the wagon but had the trunk and a large box with him. The parties who saw him were road hands. They were eating dinner at the time. Kugadt drove up to about fifty yards of them, got out, hitched his team and came over to where they were and drank some coffee with them. Then going back to his wagon he drove on toward Washington.
At Jackson's creek, thirteen miles from Brenham he was seen coming out of the woods but had only the trunk in the wagon. The large box was gone and there was some blood on the side and in the bottom of the wagon.
Kugadt returned home and stated that he had helped his sister on the train at Brenham and that she had gone to Galveston enroute to Bremen. On Thursday, Oc. 22, some time in the evening Lem Harris, colored was hunting hogs in Jackson Creek bottom and about 400 or 500 yards to the left of the Washington and Brenham road, up the creek and about 150 steps from the creek in a brush heap he discovered the charred, remains of a human body.
A coil of hair a number of hairpins, corset steels and part of a woman's dress were found. Angle irons and a peculiar sort of lock were identified as being the same which had been on the lock of the big immigrant chest which Johanna Kugadt had with her when she left home three days before.
When Kugadt heard of the discovery of the body he left home and disappeared for three or four months when he was located at Napo, Cal., brought back and tried, convicted and given the death penalty. He appealed but the decision of the lower court was affirmed by the court of criminals appeals. The mandate was returned and at the spring term 1898 of the district court Kugadt was sentenced to be hanged Thursday May 26.
When he was arrested in California he admitted that he had burned his sister's body, but denied killing her. He said that she fell out of the wagon and the wheel ran over her, crushing her skull. He then got frightened and burned her body for fear that some one might think he killed her.
Charles Kugadt was born in Stalp, province of Pommera, Prussia, Oct. 19, 1853. He emigrated to the United States in 1880, landing in Galveston on the steamship America Oct. 1 of that year. He remained in Galveston two days and on Oct. 3 came, he said, on the first passenger train ever ran over the Santa Fe road to Brenham. He moved from Brenham to Austin county where he lived from 1880 to 1883, the city of Austin remained seven months when he returned to Kinney, Austin county. Lived in this last named place until 1887 when he moved with his family to San Francisco and in two weeks went to Napa where he worked for fifteen months at his trade as a shoemaker. From Napa he moved back to San Francisco, clerked two years in a shoe store. In 1890 he returned to Texas and settled in Washington this county, worked at his trade, collected for Navasota merchants and served as deputy tax assessor for that precinct. Oct. 19, 1887 he was married to Marie Bramer by whom he had one son, Charles Frederick, a boy now 17 years old. His life has been reasonably peaceful, prosperous and happy, having never been under arrest before. A most singular fact in the life of Charles Kugadt was the date of the prominent events of his life. On Oct. 19 he murdered his sister, landed in Galveston Oct 1 and Brenham Oct. 3 and was executed Oct. 20. Truly much good and ill omen did this autumn north hold in store for this unfortunate being who was the first and only white man ever legally executed in Washington county.
Every step in the trial of the case was stubbornly contested. After his conviction in the district court of Washington county a motion for a new trial was made and overruled. Notice of appeal was given and the case was carried to the court of appeals, sitting at Dallas and argued orally. The case was confirmed in an exhaustive opinion. Motion for a new trial was made, heard on March 26, 1897 and overruled. The governor was then appealed to for a commutation but declined to interfere.
An affidavit of his insanity was filed at the spring term of the court here by his wife. The case of insanity was tried during the present term of the court the verdict of the jury being that he was a sane man.
An effort was made to carry the case into the federal court but it presented no features by which this court could be reached, so the effort was abandoned.
The last and final effort to prevent his execution was a second appeal to the governor for a commutation of the sentence of death to life imprisonment but the governor again declined to interfere. (October 21, 1898, page 3, transcribed by Peggy Thompson) |

2/18/1863 A Gallant Texas Boy Many of our readers in this city and Austin, as well as in Washington County will remember the Rev. Edward Fontaine, now or lately Colonel of the 18th Mississippi regiment in the Provisional Army. Not a few also remember his son Lamar. The following account of him we take from the Mobile Register. His heroism add luster to the State that gave him birth. We may remark that he is not the only cripple cavalryman Texas can boast of. One of the best scouts in the army is Clinton Fort of Austin County, who has scouted all over Eastern Virginia and Kentucky. He is so club-footed he can only walk with considerable exertion. One of the most gallant officers is Morris Simonds, of Texana, who left here a Lieut. In the 2d Texas and is now a Captain, but we believe a quartermaster. He lost a let in the Mexican war. On the opening of hostilities in the present war, he joined the company of the lamented Clark L. Owens and was elected Lieut. The story goes that the mustering officer refused to receive him. The company refused to be sworn in without him, and he was finally taken, being permitted to do his duty on horseback. He is a good rider. We come now to Lamar Fontaine: This soldier is Lamar Fontaine, a private in the Campbell Rangers, 2d Regiment Virginia Cavalry. He is the eldest son of the Rev. Edward Fontaine, and Episcopal minister, residing is Jackson, Miss., who commanded the Burt Rifles, of the 18th Regiment Mississippi Volunteers, in the first battle of Manassas, and who is honorably mentioned in General Beauregard’s report of it. He was born in Washington County, Texas, in 1841, while his parents resided there, and was named after his father’s intimate friend, General Mirabeau Lamar. Previous to the present revolution, Lamar Fontaine lived in his native State, was educated in Austin Military Academy in Bastrop, and learned practically the most essential duties of a soldier as a Texas Ranger and hunter, on the frontiers of Western Texas, where he was unsurpassed as a dexterous rider and skillful marksman. As soon as the war commenced he came to Mississippi, and enlisted as a private in the first company organized for the defense of the State, the Mississippi Rifles, of Jackson, commanded by Captain
Robt. Smith, the Heroic Col. Smith, who fell at Mumsfordsville, Ky. Under this excellent officer he served at Pensacola, as an infantry soldier, and then as an artillerist until he was transferred to his father’s company in the Army of the Potomac. At Manassas he was severely wounded by a cannon shot, which passed under his feet, bruising one of them so badly that he was unfitted for duty as an infantry soldier. Finding that he was unwilling to be discharged, his father procured him a transfer to Captain Alexander’s company, (1.) 2d Regiment Virginia Cavalry. Under Generals Jackson and
Ewell, he distinguished himself in the battles of Front Royal, Cross Keys, and all the actions of the Valley. Near Winchester, in company with a young gentleman from Campbell County, Virginia, private John Moore, he performed a feat without a parallel in the annals of war, and which is mentioned with the highest commendation in Gen. Ewell’s official report. These two young men, unassisted and alone, charged a piece of artillery planted on the Winchester turnpike, manned by eight of the enemy, killed and wounded two of their number, drove the rest from their gun, and brought it off in triumph to their commander. Near Strausburg a shell exploded against his horse’s head, blowing it to atoms and breaking Lamar’s thigh. While his comrades were carrying him from the field, another shell wounded him in the hip severely. Soon after his wounds were dressed, while lying under a tree, a minnie ball penetrated the back of his neck, passed down near his spine and lodged where the surgeons have not been able to find it. Since then his right leg and side have remained paralyzed. He recovered sufficiently to obtain leave of absence from the hospital at Charlottesville for several weeks, which he spent with his company in performing military duty with his crutches tied to his saddle. In this condition he fought seven battles – river bridge, Warrenton Springs, the Rappahannock, Waterloo bridge, the battles of the 29th, 30th and 31st, of Manassas, and the battle of Germantown. While the enemy were shelling Warrenton Springs, Gen. R. H. Anderson wished to ascertain what division of the army occupied the north bank of the Rappahannock opposite his position. He volunteered to bring him the necessary information, swam the Rappahannock, surprised three of the enemy’s armed pickets, and brought them across the river to the General, who gave the crutched hero a certificate complimenting his skill and gallantry. At the battle of Hazel River, a minnie ball broke one of his crutches, and one of the enemy’s horses without a rider ran against him and broke the other. In the second day’s fight at Manassas, he had a horse killed under him, and another day after at the battle of Germantown. While pursuing the enemy’s cavalry, a pistol shot penetrated his cap, grazed his temple, and knocked him from his horse. Since he has been pronounced incompetent to perform military duty on account of his wounds, and while acting as a volunteer on hospital furloughs, he has captured six prisoners without any assistance, and killed many of the enemy. In different battles he has had six horses killed under him, and I have no doubt has killed more of the enemy that any soldier in our army. If skill, courage and hazardous and useful service on the battlefield deserves promotion, he has nobly earned it. Just before the resignation of the Hon. G. W. Randolph, he was recommended for promotion by Gen.
Ewell; but so far his merit has been overlooked, and an “unknown hero”, capable of drilling and leading an army to victory, is a mutilated private, while scores of “cross road politicians, unscathed by ball or saber, and strangers to the roar of battle, are commanding companies and regiments. It will gratify the friends of our “unknown heroes” to learn that Lamar Fontaine is the author of the beautiful lines which have recently been published in all our papers, commencing “All quiet along the Potomac tonight.” |
