and would 70 home. His wife burst cutlery.
ing, aud he got up and left the room. As
soon as he bad an opportunity he went to
the Doctor and told him that he was going
home; that he was not used 70 being cured
and abused. The Doctor said:
"All right; how much ! owe your
Dickescheid replied that that was not the
question. He cared nothing about that; but
he felt that he must leave; that he was In the
road here.
DR.. schuchardt then began to cry, and
begged bis brotherin.law not 10 desert him.
The simple but earnest manner In which this
scene was narrated made deep impression,
and when he referredto
THE DoCroR's FEAR OF DEATH
there was q ptIcapible sensation. He con-
tinued that the Doctor urged him to look
over his fts ofpsssiou, saying that they were
over In minute and he was sorry afterward.
"You must stay in the house." said the
Doctor, "or they will nSsASsinate me. Oh !
you do not know the crowd have around
mep
He also requested him To tell his wife that
she must not leave the kitchen while victuals
were being cooked, lest some one should
poison him; and he promised that all the
money he made should 90 to Dickescheid.
On the Sunday before the Doctor was muir.
dered be told Dickescheld that he wanted TO
see him when the cook went out to church,
and his wife was busy in the kitchen. He
then told him that he wanted to give his
daughter enough money TO buy Q house In
Cincinnati, where she was obliged TO board.
He took him into the cellar, and uncovered
some
JARS WHICH WERE BURIED IN THE GROUND,
and which he saw then were full OF money.
The witness got basket, and the Doctor,
after lining 1t with newspapers, to0k the coin
out OF the Jars by handfuls and put 1t In the
basket which Dlckescheid carried up stairs
and emptied into his trunk, making he
thought, about dozen trips. The Doctor
then asked Mrs. Dickescheid to make the
bags for the money, and they would send 1t
10 Cincinnati by express. This plan was
prevented from being carried out by the
murder.
On Monday Dickescheid had seen Judge G.
L. Cranmer, administrator of the estate, and
told him the Doctor had given him pile Of
money" for his daughter, and he did not
know how to proceed under the circum-
stances. The Judge told him II the Doctor
had given him the money, to ship It to his
daughter as the donor had intended, and
acting Oh this advice he had taken It 10 the
express office.
APAusE IN THE PROCEEDINGS.
At this point the testimony ended. It was
the opinion OF the Justice and Of the counsel
on both sides that in justice to all parties
Judge Cranmer's testimony should be taken,
and as he was too unwell 10 appear yester-
day, the hearing was adjourned, Mr.. Dickes-
cheid being reminded 10 jail
Some amusement was caused BY some vol
untary remarks IN German by the elder
Schnelle, father OF the boys,and the retorts OF
Mr.. ickescheid, also In German, which though
unintelligi BILE 10 most Of the crowd, were SO
animated that q general smile went around.
The general impression made by the trial
was well expressed by one Of the spectators,
who remarked: "kither the old man Is a
mighty cute scoundrel or he Is telling the
truth"
The further developments in the case will
be looked for with increased interest. There
Is one damaging fact in all the evidence:
The accused was present when the admins
traitor and appraisers OF the estate we're
searching for the money supposed to be con-
cealed In the house. and declared his ignor.
ance Of The existence OF any. Afterwards be
eoufided In the administrator his possession
Of q large sum. It 10 said that when the
search referred 10 was made the fact was COM
men.ed on that space OF ground In the eel
lar appeared to be freshly dug.
II would be we'll for search OF the buried
Jars to be instituted. II any money remains
In them the presumption 10 favor OF the
truth OF Dickescheid's story would be strong.
