MRS. scHIssLER FATALLY HURT.


An examination of Mrs Schlssler by DIR. E. f.
Hodges, the police surgeon, revealed that she
had been stabbed in the abdO-
men four inches below the lower rib,
instead Of shot, she had supposed.
In the excitement following the cries of the
children and her exclam alton that she had been
wounded, she was given shelter in Bergman's
house, and is now lying there. A search was
made for The knife with which she stabbed.
and it was found in the bed where she had been
wounded. 1t was butchers carving knife with
a keen double edge, and when found had blood
stains on it, From a fragmentary statement
made by Mrs. Schissler il was learned that
schissler had effected an entrance to the house
through window in the rear He had sat
talking in drunken way, without showing a
disposition TO do violence, and she had fallen
into slumber while lie was sitting in the room,
from which she was awakened by the report of
the revolver. The wound of Mrs. Schissler is q
very dangerous one, and it is most likely to re-
suit fatally. When the first examination was
made a part Of the omentum was protruding. and
was removed. The wound is two inches in
length and is rather deep. Her condition last
night was very critical, and she was i'll cunsulta-
ton with priest.
schissler was thirty-five years old, while his
wife was five years younger. The dead man

Edward SchissIer's Awful Crime-A Story
of Domestic Unhappiness eliminating
in Terrible Tragedy.

Yesterday morning shortly after O'Clock, Ed

made murderous assault upon his wife by sta b.
bling her with butcher-knife, and then killed
himself by firing bullet through his head. The
domestic dissensions and bros. The two were
married at MOnroeville, o., in February, 1868,
and have lived IN this city since 1876 schiss-
ler was employed at kingan's pork-house in
working up the sausage meats. His life IN this
city has been that of a dissolute and vicious
man. and on account of his dissipated habits he
has been discharged repeatedly, but would be
given employment again, because in the busi-
ness which he followed he was exceptionally
good workman. His family numbered four chill
dren, the oldest being fourteen years OF age. and
the youngest seven. Only a meagre amount of
his earnings were devoted to their support,
however, and his wages were generally sQuan-
dered in very few hours after received in dis
sipation. The wife did such work she
could obtain, and from her small earn
ings, with the little that was con-
tributed by Schissler. the family was
maintained. schissler's dissipation and failure
to provide were not, however, her only griev-
ances. In addition to his many other disagreea-
BILE and uncongenial accompIis hments, he was
brutally vicious, and several times In the last
few years the patient and tolerating woman has
been beaten until she felt that the choice be-
tween life aud death was a matter Of indiffer-
ence to her. Under the ferment of dssi a
ton, jealousy and brutality this wretched sort
OF life has been working up to the result in
which it has eliminated.

THE FAIR DIVORCED.

In the meantime his wife had made applIca-
tion for a divorce, which was granted on the
3oth of June. The complaint alleged habitual
drunkenness and cruel treatment. Tie decree
gave her the custody of the four children,
namely: Carrie, William, Frances and Edward
For few days after his release rom Jail the
conduct of Schissler unObtrusive, but he
soon began drinking again and annoying
Mrs. Schiseler. He lurked about the
house almost continually, making vile accusa-
lions, and threatening TO take from her the
children. Since the divorce, she has been main
tanning her family by doing washing, and has
lived in little house just east of the brick block
at the corner of West and Morris streets, owned
and occupied by Francis Bergman, from whom
Mrs. Schlsser has obtained most of the work by
which she earned her livelihood. Schissler hung
about the place night and day, ana from his
manner IL was evident that he con-
templated mischief. The woman became
alarmed, and the neighbors feared that
the demoniac lnebriate would -wreak vengeance
upon her i'll some terrible manner Schissler,
however, had the method in his madness to do
nothing which would make him liable to arrest
and she hesitated to make any effort secure
tine protection of law by having nim arrested,
without actual cause.

DOMESTIC INFEL1cITY.

On the Gath of last May, Schissler, in q drunk
en- rage, made an assault upon his
wife with az ak, but, by the interference of
neighbors, was prevented from committing .
murder. He had come home drunk, as usual,
and had accused his wife of Illicit relations with
men living in the neighborhoOd. He was madly
jealous, and it Is said by those most intimately
acquainted with his wife, without reasonable
cause. 1t is rather charitable view of the
mans character to attribute to him sincere
Jealousy. There was more of the demon in
his blood and brain THAI of the green-eyed
monster in his heart. The unjust aec1sations
against his wife were pretext for the indul-
gence OF his quarrelsome nature, and he seems
to have delighted In the family broils which
made his home a kind of little he'll in which he
reigned as the satanic majesty. The row on the
oath of May was more serious than any that
had occurred before, and Schissler was arrested
on the charge Of assault and battery with intent
to kill. He committed to Jail by the
mayor to await the result OF the grand
jury's investigation of tue case, and
on the Goth of June he was tried
in the Criminal Court by Judge Norton, who
fined him 800 with costs. For several days be-
fore the penalty was liked Judge Norton had the
case under advlsement, and had about decided
to send Schissler Jail for term in addition TO
the fine, but through the intercesslon of friends
who gave assurance that his conduct in the
future would be better, the sentence Of impris-
onment was withheld. In fixing tire penalty
Judge Norton remarked that il WAS evident the
prisoner was man of dangerous character, and
the fear was expressed that, II released, he
would vet commit some violent act, which would
cause him TO be sent to the penitentiary. Sehisser
went to jail to serve OUT his f1ne, and re-
leased until early in July,

In the apprehensons of a tragedy, it was sup
posed that whatever Schissler did would be in a
fit OF drunken desperation; but to the contrary,
lie was methodical and deliberatiye in the
execution of his murderous Intentions
Last Monday evening he began banging about
the house more closely than usual and during
the night he became rather boisterous. Mr..
Bergman, living in the house adjoining that of
Mrs. Schissler, was awakened about O'Clock in
the morning by his loud talking, and together
with Henry W.irdle, whom he found standing
on the corner listening to the noise, stood wait
Ing for several minutes, but neither could under
stand what was being said, and there was %
appeal for assistance, they both retired again.
About o'clock. however, Bergman was again
aroused by the frantic screams of the
Schissler children, and a moment later Mrs
Schissler came running up into the block, ex-
claiming that she had been shot The neighbors
were soon aroused by the cries, and the house
was surrounded by small crowd, but all hest
taxed to enter for fear that Schssler would be
encountered After a few moments, however,
two more shots were heard, and the crowd, 70
the number of about twenty five men, then
began a search for Schissler.
