and ochaumberg after him; when Fuller got
near the middle of the avenue. he turned and
made for DE Saules's house; Schaumberg ran
after him four or five steps, and then halted;
Fuller kept on. and Schaumberg turned and
walked down a little below the private door of
the hotel near Parke- s store, and then wall
Ell between the hacks AMI went into the pri-
vate door, went across to De Saules's: saw
Fuller sitting in chair; he said he was shot;
thought he was dying; when Schaumberg was
pursuing Fuller he had pistol in his hand;
never saw him with any other weapon until
he was before the magistrate, when he showed
a knife about half as long as my arm, and he
said that was the only weapon he had; know
OF no particular name for the knife
Rer. T.. 4. Daris.-Know very little about
1t. On the evening of this occurrence had
an engagement with some gentlemen at the
store OF Captain Tucker, which is a little east
OF the National Hotel: while there heard the
report OF pistol, and the next instant rushed
out; Immediately upon our getting into the
street Schaumberg came from the avenue on to
the pavement near the private door of the no.
tel; impression was that he had knife or a
pistol in his hand, which AM not sure on his
stepping upon the pavement some one made
an exclamation, :" Knock him in the head, he
has shot Ned Fuller" S;haumberg replied.
DIN him, or ''d-m you''-do not know
which, did shoot him. and you can come
and take me If you think proper" his remark
seemed to be in rejoinder to the one made by
some one in the crowd of KNOCK him in the
head, ne has shot Ned Fuller" he had either
a knife or n pistol in his hand at the time; it
was something that struck me at the time to
be either knife or pistol.
w, J. Garay.-Heard Captain Schaumberg
say q did it," or - 1 shot him. don t know
which and q | would do it again Upon
going out of the hotel with Captain Schaum-
berg in the custody of an officer. An attempt
was made, as 1 thought, upon him; spoke t,
the crowd and said he was now in the hands
of the law, and it was better to let it deal with
him.
John Feming.-Saw Schaumberg and Mr..
Berret on the steps talking; did not know
what they were talking of until 1 heard
Schaumberg say something about Fuller, Ber-
ret answered, = Why, there he is now ;" looked
there and saw Fuller coming along and a gen.
tleman with him whom I did not know. Full
Ter came along and turned round, and went
up to the steps going into the hotel. Schaum-
berg advanced and shot him.
Thomas Welsh.-Was standing with Flem-
ing the two Berrets were talking together,
and Schaumberg came out to them and asked
about Fuller; Berret turned around and said
There he is.' Saw Fuller coming along with
some one, and his two hands in his pockets
he had hardly got to the platform before saw
the fash. Fuller sort Of stumbled back and
wheeled round the column. and the other one
after him; heard Mr.. Bsrrct say, Don't
shoot me-
Joseph B. Mari WAS employed in the Cen
sus Office in the same room with Fuller; was in
company with him on Wednesday. about
twelve O'Clock, on Eighth near E street; Fuller
said - Here comes Schaumburg and Senator
Hale with him. they were on the south side
of E coming toward. Sth street; Fuller said
= Let US 90 up to the post Office first; although
L am not a1ralu OF MIN, do not want people
to think went forward to meet Schaumburg;'
we went TO the post office and then returned
and went across E street and got our usual re.
freshments; had we crossed, as we intended
we would have met Schaumberg on the corner;
never saw Fuller armed; had seen the placards
and knew of the difficulty.
Patrick lMcNicoU.-Fuller called at the
| National Hotel one or two or three evening:
before the shooting, in the evening; handed
me letter and asked me to give it to Captain
Schaumberg; Captain Schaumberg was not il
his room; put it into his box in the Office; wa'
there after the shooting and saw Captain
| Schaumberg come in at the front door; heart
him say he shot him; saw nothing in his hant
when he came in.
| jeremiah Wtison-After the shooting
| Schaumberg came into the hotel and said h.
had shot him, and had long bowie-knife il
his hand; was standing then in front of tn
office about ten feet from him; think some on
asked him if he had shot him; he said damn
him, shot him, and will shoot any one VIII
takes it up for him." remained there till b
left; he had the knife when he left.
