Tragedy in Allentown: double murder ends in lynching
Jacob Gogel and his wife Anna were found slain at Santee's Mills near Bethlehem, their heads nearly severed. Suspect Joseph Snyder, 24, confessed after being captured in a barn and was hanged by a mob at the Gogel residence. Authorities later confirmed death by strangulation. The scene drew thousands as the crowd surged. Separately a Newburyport boiler explosion killed three workers and left six hundred unemployed. Farther west, extreme cold spread from Manitoba to Chicago, with temperatures plunging well below zero. A Newark jail visit linked to the Lammens murder case revealed a wife’s alleged recognition of the condemned man.
