LINCOLN, ILL, Nov. 26.--Since Carpenter
was released on bail expectation has been
directed to the report of the Chicago
chemist making an analysis of the internal
organs of the late Fora Burns. The hope
of discoveries from that quarter proved
delLsive. Had the report been to the eff
feet that narcotics were used, much of the
suspicion would have been directed
in another channel, but as the
case now stands public opinion
here holds that Carpenter is under still
darker cloud. Since his release from Jail
he has said that he is as innocent as babe
unborn, but refusal to prove this by evi-
dence or even by statement creates q
sentiment against him. AS evidence of
this it may be stated that about noon to-
day Beach & Hodnett received telegram
that a body of men were coming to mete
out punishment to their client. Prepar-
ations for vigorous defense were made,
and men were stationed in Carpenters
house to prevent such proceeding.
To-day the state attorney received the
report of the Chicago chemist, which is as
follows:
CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-To Hon. r. B. For
rest, Lincoln, Ill. Dear Sir: My exam
ination Of the liver of ths late Fora Burns,
for narcotic drugs is now finished, and
would report that am unable to find any
trace of such at present. While this af-
fords certain degree of indication that
none was administered, get it does not by
any means give positive proof of it. Drugs
of narcotic character are frequently dis
covered with dificulty-or even not
resulting from them, even
When, therefore, as in the present case,
several weeks have elapsed and the organs
are in decomposing state, the chances of
detecting the drug are greatly reduced.
Yours respectfully,
SlgnoQ WALTER y. dA1EES.
This result does not disappoint the
prosecution. Since Carpenters arrest the
officials have been firmly convinced that
he is the man, and consented to exhuming
the remains and sending the organs to
Chicago, merely to satisfy the curiosity OF
| few.
MURDER AND SUICIDE.
IHneciaI Teleuram IN the Gloha I
CHICAGO, Nov, 26.-About l o'clock this
afternoon the residents of Hyde park, in
the neighborhood of Ninety y-second street
were startled by tragedy enacted on the
street, resulting in both murder and sui
eide. Jno. Schmidt, German butcher
keeping shop on Ninety second street
walked up to his wife, who was standing
on the sidewalk, and. drawing revolver
shot her, wounding her fatally. He thel
shot himself, with such effect, that he die,
almost instantly. The two had not bee,
living together for some time. The doctors
say 1T is impossible for the woman
to recover. AZ far as can be discovere'
Schmidt gave no warming but appfoaeh
ing quietly shot his wife, then turned an.
shot himself. The coroner was immedi
ately notified. The shooting took place a
the corner of Commercial avenue ant
Ninety second street, and the reports O
the revolver attracted e large crowd to tn,
scene. Almost as soon as Schmidt saw hi
wife he pulled his weapon and fired, aus
as she fell he turned it on himself ant
shot with deadly effect. He fell where h,
stood, and died without uttering word
His body was removed by the officers to th
Jail, followed by perfect mob O
people. Mrs. Schmidt was taken to th,
house of E, G.. Edelle, where she was lying
in critical condition at p. m. Physi-
clans say it is hardly possible that sh,
will survive. Schmidt was 80 years O.
age and was employed ct the meat marke
of VIM. Essenharn on Ninety -Secont
street. He was good locking young Ger
man and generally well thought of by hi
acquaintancss. He and his wife had no
lived together for the past eight month;
and his jealousy of her is supposed to hav
led him to commit the fearfU
double crime. Mrs. Schmidt ha
been keeping boarding house for tn
Western Indiana Railroad company. Tn
town is wild with excitement on acccoun
of the tragedy.
