Richard Honeck
Richard Honeck (January 5, 1879—December 28, 1976), an American murderer, served one of the longest custodial sentences ever to terminate in a prisoner's release in American criminal history. Jailed in November 1899 for the murder of a former school friend, Honeck was paroled from Menard Correctional Center in Chester, Illinois on 20 December 1963, having completed 64 years and one month of his life sentence, and served a total of 23,418 days in jail.〔Irving Wallace et al., ''The People's Almanac'', Doubleday, 1975, p.1341.〕
==Koeller murder==
Honeck, a telegraph operator and son of a wealthy dealer in farm equipment, was 20 years old when he was arrested in Chicago in September 1899 for the killing of Walter F. Koeller. He and another man, Herman Hundhausen,〔(Hundhausen died in 1966 )〕 had gone to Koeller's room armed with an eight-inch bowie knife, a sixteen-inch bowie knife, a silver-plated case knife, a .44 caliber revolver, a .38 caliber revolver, a .22 caliber revolver, a club, and two belts of cartridges. They also carried a getaway kit consisting of two satchels filled with dime novels, obscene etchings, and clothes from which the names had been cut.〔''New York Times'', 4 September, 5 September 1899.〕
Koeller, who was later found by the police sitting in a chair stabbed in the back, had testified for the prosecution some years earlier when Honeck and Hundhausen were charged with setting a number of fires in their home town of Hermann, Missouri.〔〔(Kansas City journal. (Kansas City, Mo.), September 03, 1899, p. 7 )- it was at first suspected Honeck and Hundhausen might have been identical to two men who had objected to Koeller seeing a woman he had meet in business college. According to Honeck's confession, a second motive was that Koeller's father had been involved in death of Honeck's brother in 1876 and that Honeck had sworn revenge. (The Evening Bulletin September 05, 1899 .p.1 )〕 According to a confession made by Hundhausen, the two men had sworn revenge and planned Koeller's murder in considerable detail. Honeck, Hundhausen said, had stabbed the dead man with the eight-inch bowie knife, which was discovered "smeared with coagulated blood".〔〔''Chicago Tribune'' 5 September, 22 October, 25 October, 5 November 1899''.〕
