the loss of twenty lives upon of the attendant
was told to-day IN the cOrOner's inquest The con
fesson made after the most damaging testi-
monv against Peter Joseph Schroeder, who for
era days has been suspected of the crime. cOlored
boy, Joseph Nodine, who had been placed in the
insane asylum because he was nuisance to his
friends and who acted as a sort of assistant to
Schroeder was placed on the witness stand. HIS
story was as follows Schroeder frequently told
me that he was tired of life in the institution. and
would like TO got even with DR.. Richardson, the
chief physician of the insane department, who had
tried 10 get him dismissed. Nine weeks ago tho
devil cot into my head and set fire to mattress
I'm the drying room. The fire was soon put ont.
told Schroeder that did it. He did not give me
away A week after that he said that t would be
a good idea to burn down the building and he gave
me more matches to start another fire. once more
sci fire to the mattress in the drying room. but tie
fire was discovered and put out before the building
caught fire, as thought it would be. On Thursday
night Schroeder gave me more matches and told ME
to try il again. | set fire 10 the mattress in the
same place once more. but this time spread straw
over the floor and passage way. The whole wing OF
the building then burncd down. On.the next day
Schroeder said that it pity that people had
been killed and Was sorry. too. He told me that
had better not tell any that had done it, as the
committee would punish me severely. came near
confcssng, and prayed every night for the Lord
TO forgive me-
Before the witnesses were heard, Deputy Coroner
Ashbridge explained to the Jury that Nodine was
OF sound mind DR.. Richardson said al so that his
testimony could be relied on. The boy cannot
read or write and cannot even tell the
tlmo BY clock but is able to distinguish
between right and wrong. He seemed afraid of
SchIoeder's vengeance, and whenever the door
opened started up in a fright. as though some one
was coming 70 punish him. lie haste be Gained and
quieted by the deputy coroner. Schroeder was
ungcrcd by reprinand which he received at the
hands of the committee for breaking a patient 5
collar bone, Ii was found that after the fire
Schroeder admitted to James ID; MniIin, another at
tendant that NOdue had caused the fire. Nulln SAID
nothing of this 70 any one. Mu.lin and Schroeder
were committed to await the acton of the Grand
