REVIEW OF TIE scHoEPPE-sTENNECKE
MURDER CASE.

MURDER CASE.
DIR. Paul Schoeppe, who now lies in jai
at Carlisle, Penn, under sentence of death
Is young man of about twenty eighr
years OF age. His case is one of the mos
interesting that has been before the public
tor many years. A correspondent of the
Philadelphia Telegraph reviews his history
at great length. Great efforts have been
made by friends to secure q mitigation OF
the sentence, but without avail. In the
summer of 1868 DIR. Schoeppe went to Car
Isle from New York. He made the &C
quaintance of Miss Maria M. Stennecke
wealthy maiden lady, whom he attended
professionally. Although her reputed age
ranged from fifty to seventy, he soon be-
came her proposed lover and then, her aft
anced husband. Some time after the en-
gagement Miss Stennecke became very ill,
was attended by DR.. Schoeppe and died
suddenly. Little or no suspicion was
aroused until will in Schoeppe's favor was
filed in court another will was known to
have been made by Miss Stennecke ssme
months previous to her death, in which she
left her entire estate to various institutions
and four Chinese children. These two
wills were both filed and their contradic-
ton gave rise to suspicion. The District
Attorney had Schoeppe arrested. The
body was exhumed and an analysis of the
stomach made by Professor Aiken, who
found traces of prussic acid. Besides this
evidence the signature of the second will
was thought to be forgery. The will it.
self was as admitted by the prisoner, in his
own hand writing and the subscribing wit
nesses were himself and father only. Those
who saw the deceased during her last ill
ness testified that they thought the treat
ment of DR.. Schoeppe very peculiar; her
symptoms were unusual, and even the doc
tors who were called for consultation be-
fore her death could recognize no signs of
any disease familiar to them. The testi-
mony for the prosecution seemed to be
very direct and conclusive. The defence
was elaborate and skillfully conducted
Great efforts have been made, as we have
said, for mitigation of the sentence of
death German societies in New York,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey are now in
teresting themselves in the prisoners be-
half. A majority of the citizens ofCarlisle
believe that Schoeppe is guilty, though the
German population think him innocent
The case being one of merely circumstan-
tial evidence, mystery will always envelop
it, whether the man be hanged or not
That the second will was forgery is gen.
orally admitted, but whether it was pre-
pared before or after the murder is mat
ter of conjecture. DR.. Schoeppe insists
most strenuously upon his own innocence,
and explains everything relating to the case
with many plausible details and reasons.
He was born near Frankfort on the Main,
and is son of German Lutheran minis
ter. He received his education at colleges
in Heidelberg and Berlin. Miss Maria
stennecke was daughter of one of the first
settlers of Carlisle, a physician. Her for
tune, about $4,000, was left her by her
father a surgeon in the United States Navy,
who died eight or ten years ago.
