Killed his Wife while in a Dream.

few days ago, being no longer able to resist
publicly acknowledging his true love for
one Amelia Davis, (cord) fearlessly, after
procuring license, was joined in wedlock
to the one he most To- ed, since which we
learn they lived in happiness, but ali only
for q short time, as We learn that some of
Mr.. Schnider's associates had made some
threats on account Of hi. boldness in taking
the benefit of the Fifteenth Amendment to
the Constitution Of y. S. he felt somewhat
unsafe, and by request of his wife, he Dor
rowed q revolver for his protection. And
here we only give his story for it, which is
as allows.
He feeling somewhat uneasy since his
marriage, prevented him from resting well
at night, and as he had never shot a revol-
yer, his wife agreed to take possession of
it, and use it if necessary, and accordingly
it was placed under her pillow, and that
while he was asleep and dreaming of per
sons entering his house he raised in bed,
reached over his wife, took the revolver, at
which time his wife raising up the pistol
fired, he SEEING that his wife was shot, i'm
media,ely called his neighbor living in the
other part of the house, told them that he
had accidently shot his wife but did not
know whether she was dead or not, and
asked that Mr.. Cou,inard should be sent
for, also said that there was TO difficulty
bending between him and his wife at this
time, but that to the contrary, he sincerely
loved Amelia and felt that re had put to
death accidentally one whom he truly
loved. Mr.. SCHNEIDER calmly stood q preli-
minary examination before Judge Davis,
on last Monday evening, and was acquit-
ted. -IBaton Rouge Grand Era, Oct 7th.
