A REMARKABLE CASE DECIDED In the
case of the widely known DR.. Paul Scl,nmppn.
The Opban's Court of Baltimore has decided
adversely to his claims to the property OF the
I,te Miss Stinui4cke. Fine estate is valued ut
aho.lt $50, 900, and the virtnous i1Anl clai:Ee.l
if on the ground OF his alleged marriage to the
lady. The evidence offered as to!the marriage
was a written contract, but the court thinks.
that the indications of forgery of the paper arg
sufficient to raise great doubt Gifts genlineness.
The marriage was alleged to have been con-
summated i'll Pennsylvania, where the lady,
died, and the marriage law in Maryland, where
a mere verbal contrlcti> not sufficient requires
complete and convincing proof OF u marriage Ill
another State where no formal solemhizatlon
is necessary TO validity. After the death OF
Miss StinnecEp, III January, 1867, faHl ochoep-
DC was indicted tried and convicted on a charge
Of causing her death by prlISsic acid at Carllsle
PA. Afterwards tla!ler SPECIAL act OF the,
sopnnSylya,.tl Legislature, he was granted a.
new trial which resulted in his acqltittal. In
October 1872, Sch@ppe filed his petition in the
Orphans Court in this city. In March OF last
wear the case WAS taken up, and, after trial.
extending over three weeks, III which u large
number Of witnesses from Baltimore and else
where were examined, WAS submitted. In the
course of the trial a certified record Of the po-
lice court Of Berlin WAS produced, showing that
Schuppe had been convicted i'll Il Berlin Ger
MANY court Of the three crimes Of larceny, for
Gerry and eNto.ton. Sghnppe Is now serving
