THE INQUEST.
A Little Additional Light-Verdict OF
Death NJ Schnelle's Hands.

A Little Additional Light-verdict OF
Death ~ Sehnelle's Hands.
The hearing of the inquest was resumed
yesterday morning at $50 o'clock and
lasted four hours. Seven witnesses were
examined and much irrelevant and utterly
useless matter was OF course developed,
and from this mass OF heterogeneous tssti-
mopy only the pertinent points are given
here.
The result OF the autopsy was first heard.
Drs. Reeves and Alderman described the
situation Of the wound and the finding OF
the ball. This has already been told and
need not be repeated. Indeed, why an
autopsy was deemed necessary was q
mystery to most persons. Every one knew
the ball killed the Doctor, and whether it
pierced the cerebrum or the cerebellum no
one cared.
Frank Auber, a shoemaker living near.
gave his version OF the murder as seen from
his standpoint, after it had been commit
ted. His story has already been given.
and contained nothing of material interest
He had come in soon after the second shot
was fired, and found the Doctor dead and
Guenther lying wounded on the dining
room door.
Officer Barum was recalled, aud said
Wilhelm Schnelle. brother OF GueHther,
had said the pistol, u 32-caIibre, was his.
Wilhelm Schnelle, brother OF the prison
err who works at Seeley's plumbing shop,
testified to having been with his brother
Just before the tragedy. He thought he
had been drinking, but had heard or seen
nothing bearing directly on the murder.
He identified the pistol rs belonging to his
father and kept at home.
Louis Schnelle, brother OF the murderer,
gave new and important testimony. On
Monday he had met Guenther at his faith
er's house and the latter had asked 70. 4
revolver.
What do you want it for"
II want to kill the old son OF b-h,"
was Guenther's reply.
The witness had reasoned with him. but
in vain. No name was used but Guenther
always used the term, the old s-n OF a
BIB. ISince the murder Guenther has in
ysrisbly used this term when referring to
the doetor.-ED The witness thought
Guenther was intoxicated at this time,
and when he questioned him OF his intcn'
ton, he had said:
oh. you know we'll enough; just wait
and you'll see"
Fred. Schnelle, father of Guenther, knew
nothing directly bearing on the murder.
He said he regarded Guenther as of un-
sound mind. Mr.. Schnelle spoke in Ger
man. and the services of an interpreter be-
came necessary.
Mrs. Robert Schnelle was put upon the
stand TO correct an error which had gotten
afioat She had not said she heard Guen

own.
This ended the testimony, and the jury
brought in the verdict that q. Schuhardt

ceived letter from Mr.. Schaffer, OF the
Opera House there, who presented the two
actors, saying that the money to build the
pottery can be subscribed, and he suggests
a public meeting, offering the Opera House
free for the purpose. The men at East
Liverpool say the prospects are favorable to
the project, and one gentleman at this
point offers 10 start the ball by subscribing
81 900 in the start. The offer will likely
call forth definite action.

to the right of way asked by the Wheeling

the county toll house is situated.
The following members answered to their
names at roll call: Messrs. Boring, Cou-
erford, Delbrugge,' Maxwell, Prince, Spell
del. Stocker and WOODS.
The petition OF the Railroad Company
was read for the information of the nem-
bers praying for right OF way through the
piece of ground above referred to, and also
Tor permission to cross the Bethany turn
pike, on which the ground points, as per
line surveyed by County Engineer Smith
At the conclusion OF the reading, which
occupied some thirty minutes, Mr.. Prince
offered the following resolution:
RssOlred, That the Wheeling and Elm
Grove Railroad Company be granted the
right Of way asked, and that they pay 70
the county the sum of $500 for such right.
To this an amendment was offered by
T.
pensstion to 500, and ON the proposition
in this shape a long discussion was had,
which finally resulted in the defeat of the
measure.

which wonld accrue to the company and

resume Of the past history OF the corpora

tain its existence, and thought that mas
much as the present large improvement in
road bed and equipment were largely un'
dCrtsken, in the face of the very uusatis'
fsctory financial experience of the
company in the past, with view to afford
the travelling public increased comforts

at least grant gratu;tously the tritiing &C
cOmmodatiOn asked.
vt the conclusion of Mr.. ReymSnn's re-
marks Mr.. Boring offered the following:
R,solred, That the Wheeling and Elm

Guenther Schnelle is still in very criti-
cal condition. Drs. Hoge and Stifel are
carefully attending him, but their efforts
to find the ball have thus far proved futile.
The probe was introduced as far as it
might, with safety, be pushed, but no bal!
was reached. DR.. Hoge said, last night, that
the case vas serious, but he would not say
there was danger OF fatal result.
All day Guenther refused food. but
wanted whisky and a pistol, both OF which
were denied, The first thing this morning
he asked the jailor if he had killed the id
old son of BIB, and seemed relieved at
the assurance that he certainly had. A
REGISTER reporter saw him, but he refused
to say a word in relation to his crime.
Last evening he was removed to
the large room on the third floor
and late at night Was resting more quietly,
being relieved of the terrible pains which
raCked him all day. His face is much
swollen on the left side, and, though suf
fering. he is perfectly rational. 4 great

his younger brother was al nitted.

reports floating about to the effect that he

The Schuchardt murder was the one ab.

about the city. To most persons the morn
ing papers brought the first intimation,
and the subsequent details and information
were eagerly sought. Comparatively little
flesh matter was obtained, and that little,
while it went to show that Guenther
Schnelle had been drinking, at the same
time proved more clearly that the murder
was willful and preneditated. A hearing
was not had, as Sehnelle is now in criti-
cal condition, with the ball still in his
head, and suffering acutely. The inquest
was concluded, and the verdict was as was
anticipated.

they were utterly false, and expressed his
willingness and desire to confront Mr..
