to Cincinnati, the Commercial. Gazette sent rep.
resentatives TO interview relatives Of DR..
schuchardt In Cincinnati. 0ne OF these was
Mr.. II schuchardt, nephew OF the late
Doctor, and barber on Sixth street. Mrs.
DIckescheid and her daughter, Otlilia, were
also seen, and oil them the Commercial. Gazette
says:
arrived from the depot more than half
hour previous, and although much fatgued
from the Journey and the worry OF the excit.
ine scenes at Wheeling, were communicative
enough TO detail all they knew about the
murder and the subsequent alleged appro.
prlation OF money by Mr.. Dickescheid. The
latter Is well known In this city as an old
and respectable German citizen. Mrs
DIckescheid's statement Is valuable one,
and uncovers great many curious facts con.
nectsd with the life and murder Of the IN.
fortunate old man."
The statement made by the old lady Is Of
