Charles Link, who is charged with the
murderous assault on Len. Schmidt this
morning, before going to Turner Hall,
where he was arrested. met friend named
Fred. Kirtscher, of No. 700 Race street.
10 him he turned over small white
handled knife, having worn-out and dull
blade about two and one-h half inches long.
He told Krtschersthat lie had little diff
Guilty with some one and did not want to
be found with knife on his person.
Link, Mr.. Kirtscher says, was perfectly
sober at the time. Officer Chard, of Bre-
men-street Station, learned these facts, and
at o'clock this morning went to
kirtscher's house. He found the man ly.
ing in bed. He asked him for the knife,
and then was told the same story. A sub
p9na was issued for Kirtscher to appear
before the Police Court.
Louisa Scholl mot Schoen), the girl with
whom Link vas out, lives as servant girl
at No. 152 York street, states that when
Schmidt and Link met the former stepped
up and struck ut Link. She pulled Link
back twice, whereupon lie broke loose from
her grasp, leaving portion of his coat in
her hands.
He then knocked Schmidt down and cut
him. Schmidt cried out, "Beys 20 for him,
Pm cut" Link this morning, when cues
toned by Officer Chard in the Police Court
Room entrance, confessed that he had done
the cutting, but that he did it in self de.
fense.
At noon to-day Schmidt was rapidly
sinking, with but short time to live.
LATERAL o'clock Schmidt was still
breathing, but all hope of any improve
ment has been abandoned.

the windows facing the church were
boarded up by the Trustees for several
days bnt at length a compromise was
made, which continued until the LIST OF
last January. Since that time the
Trustees have been demanding a
compensation of 5000 for the light privilege
for the present year, but this Mr. Smith
refused to pay, and consequently the win

Kilgore shot him from the bush. In the
lane near by were found Willingham's hat
and revolver, the latter with one barrel
empty and the hammer on the cock. The
pistol had not been fired.
The evidence showed that kilgore laid
IN wait for Willingham and shot him from
behind the tree; that after Kilgore shot
him once Willingham drew his pistol,
when Kilgore shot him fatally. The cause
Of the killing was tine hauling away OF
