The Buchholz Case.

Gathering the eTOils-Schulte's Money
 BuchhOIz and the Saloon Keeper
 The IdentiFicattOn of the Bills.
 Paul Hirscher, a South Norwalk saloon keeper, was the first witness yesterday morn ing in the second trial of Buchholz for his life, in progress in Bridgeport. By him a portion of the money of the murdered man was traced to Buchholz. He was handed $2OO in twenty-dollar bills by Buchholz the day after the murder, with the request to keep it for him until after the inquest. He was re- quested to reply, if asked about it, that he re- ceived it some weeks before. Subsequently Buchholz begged witness to keep dark and not give him away, and told him he might keep the money for his trouble.
 pr. L. J. Sanford, of this city, testified Thursday, after Dr. TreadweH, the expert on blood stains, got through. He testified, among other things, that human and fowl blood, examined under favorable circum- stances, showed marked differences. Blood to penetrate freely into wooIen material must be fresh. Blood would begin to become little dense two minutes after it had left the veins.
 Following him came Paul Hirscher, above spoken of, who, as to his story that Buohholz asked him to keep that money affair secret, said: The second Saturday after the murder Buchholz came in my store looking pale and worried. He said he hoped wouldn't go back on him, and that if I came to testify about the $2O0 that he gave me I would say he gave it to me some time before the mur- der. He said l could have the money and give him one-tenth or ten per cent Another time I asked him what he meant and he said 'You can keep that money, you can use it, and can let you have the money received to-day from my sister, got $200 from my sister today" He said he expected to board with me when the coroner's inquest was over During the other trial of Buchholz sat next to him one day and said to him T under stand the authorities have been informed you did not get any money from your sister," He said: ''That's all right I know about it." I asked him what he meant and he said she didn't send him any. The witness further testified that Buchholz talked seriously of going off to Germany and hinted at taking witness with him. He would take him along sure if he (the witness) was a single man. Hirscher kept saloon, at the time of the mur- der, opposite the New York railroad depot. Witness was oss-examined to show that Buchholz and Schulte staid together in the saloon long enough, upon their arrival from New York the day of the murder, for the next train from New York to arrive, and for man to get off from that train and follow Schulte and Buchholz and commit the mur- der.
 hn xuo6 at iuo witness, was succeeded by Charles Le Croix, 8 very lively Frenchman, who was called on to identify the $50 bill which was paid to him by Buchholz when he and Hirscher rode to Westport, which he did something after the following style:
 Mir. Olmstead-sDo you recognize that bill p
 Le Croix-''That's de beelI"
 Mir. Olmstead-''What bill ?''
 Le Croix-'' National Bank beel"
 Mr. OImstead--stWhat bill ?"
 Le Croix-''Fifty dollar beel."
 bill2"
 Le Croix-''De beeI dat Buchholz paid me-"
 He then described the visit of Buchholz and Hirscher to his place as already given by the latter.
 Dudley P. Ely, all of Norwalk, identified the $50 bill which was paid to MT. Le Oroix, it having passed through their hands.
 MT. Henry O. Koenig, the reporter of the New York Staats-Zeitung, testified that in Germany his given name was Hein- rich, but here he was known as Henry. The correct English translation of Johann Hein- rich is John Henry. This testimony Is de- signed to forestall the expected claim of the defense that the indictment against Buchholz is defective in that the murdered man is called John Henry Schulte instead of John Heinrich Schulte. 'I saw Buchholz," MT. Koenig con- tinued, lat the coroners inquest at South Nor walk, and talked with him reporter. He told me that he received the $200 from Mir. Schulte just after leaving Hirscher's saloon, and that it was wrapped up in 8 paper" Other testimony confrmatory of the identifica- ton of the bills followed.
