Hildebrandt supposedly admitted to killing Bonnecka and burying $11,000 near the Pennsylvania railroad. his death in August leaves Maryland officials with the confession disputed by authorities. The district attorney produced inmates Bruce Donaldson and William Kent who testified that J Bacon witnessed Farrell and Wilson assaulting the miser. About 50 witnesses heard the hearing, which was continued today amid new reports from Moyamensing prison about another possible author of the crime.
