sCHORR's SUICIDE.
He Appears to Have Been Fool
as Well as Knave.

BALTIMORE, May 2S.-On the street,
i'm the clubs, everywhere, the one topic
of conversation has been the cause of
Rev. Henry Greenfield Schorr's Sunday
morning suicide as published in an out
of town paper, to which he had sent
both his correspondence and that of the
woman he loved, as we'll as her name.
SchOrr evidently was a peculiar man.

and having comfortable rooms at the
st. Paul'S Parish house. A favOrite
with the fashionable congregation of
st. Paul's, where he. was assist
ant rector, he constantly refused to
humble way in an obscure part of town.
Having borrowed their savings. he was
ashamed of them. He gave many false
reasons for his periodical gloom ;sfirst
friend had committed suicide because
he had urged the payment of a debt:
then mythical sister was seriously ill
in Brooklyn, etc. SchOrr was buried to-
day. Rt. Rev. William Paret, d. d.,
bishop of Maryland, and the Rev. j. S.
B. Hodges. pastor Of st. Paul's, recited
the ceremony OF the church, and no re-
marks were made by either clergyman.
A reporter called this evening at the
luxurious nome or Mrs. Margaret

SULLIVAN Is IN FOR 1T.
Evidence Clearly Connecting Him
With the Crime.

CA1cAGo, May 2O.-Before the grand

the ice man, Sullivan, with the
Cronin mystery was made almost abso-
Lutte. Carlson, ST., the owner of the
cottage, testified: "When the man
who called himself Frank Williams
rented my cottage on March 80,
l noticed that he went over
to see Sullivan, the ice man. He ap-
parently talked familiarly with him.
As the month of April approached the
20th and the rent day was coming near,
I began to think it strange tnat my
tenant did not occupy the premises.
I wanted reliable tenant. Seeing the
man had talked with Sullivan stepped
over and spoke of his queer conduct in
not living in the house he had
rented, and added that felt
somewhat anxious about my rent and
the permanency of the tenant. He is
all right said the ice man to me. He
will pay you all right enough when the
month is up" Mr.. Sullivan at first
denied that he ever saw the man.

HAYTIEN TALK.
Will There Be Commission or
Will There NOt2


WASHINGTON, May 2S.-One of the
theories in circulation to-day was to the
effect that information had been re-
ceived last evening late concerning the
condition of affairs in Hayti which made
it seem altogether likely that no COM
mission would be needed, or could, in
fact, be with propriety appointed. This
information, It was said, conveyed the
idea that Legitfme's government was
about to be Overthrown, and as the Hip
polyte government had no representa-
tive here, and was not recognized by the
United States, no representative of this
country could be accredited to it.
Still another theory which had its sup
porterS was founded on story that
when Walker Blaine was informed las4
evening that the appointments had
been announced he expressed great
surprise and hurried away to Inform
his father. On this slender thread was
hung the theory that Mr.. Blaine had
not intended to have the appointments
made public, and that it was at his re-
quest that the announcement of them
was withdrawn. Gen. Lew Wallace
pany with Mr.. Blaine. He refused to
that Gen. Wallace did not desire the
appointment as commissioner, and
would be very glad to be relieved of its
responsibilities. 1t is stated tonight
that the appointment of the commission
will not be announced for some time.
The explanation for this delay
given at the White house is
that Gen. Wallace is a member
the board of visitors to West Point and
has made preparations to go there in the
near future. 1t is not officially stated,
but it is generally understood tonight,
that Mr.. Tucker will not be member
of the commission. Gen. H. V. B0ynt0n,
of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
called at the White house last night
shortly after the appointment was an
nounced to protest against Mr.. fuckers
selection. 1t is stated tonight that his
protest and the protests of others de-
termined the president to withdraw Mr..
fuckers name, and with it that of Gen.
Wallace. 1t is stated at the White
house that Mr.. Tucker had his political
disabilities removed by congress great
many years ago. and that since that
time he has held Office twice under
Grants administration and once under
the administration of Hayes. Two OF
these appointments were of a diplomatic
character.

DID SHE KILL HIM?
Inquest Evidence in the Maybrick
Poisoning Case.

Inquest Evidence in the Maybrick
Poisoning Case.
LIVERPOOL, May 2S.-This morning
the inquest in the Maybrick case began,
with much testimony of a sensational
character. Maybrick's death, it will be
remembered, is supposed to have
been caused by poison, admins
tered by his wife. Michael May
brick, brother of the deceased, testified
that he had visited his brother during
his illness and had warned Mrs. May
brick that he suspected his brother was
receiving improper treatment. The wife
insisted upon her right to nurse her
husband. Witness thereupon sum-
mOned two doctors and new nurse.
He also seized a bottle containing
brandy and extract of meat. At later
visit witness found Mrs. Maybrick
CHANGING THE CONTENTS
and labels of medicine bottles. He re-
mOnstrated with her and asked her how
she dare do such thing. She replied
that there was sediment in the bottles.
Witness again caused change of nurse
to be made. Notwithstanding his pre-
cautions, however, his brother grew
worse and died in short time. He was
delirious towards the end. After his
death the nurse gave witness parcel
labeled ''Arsenic--pOisOn for cats" 1t
contained several bottles in which was
white fluid. and from which the labels
had been erased. Witness placed the
bottles under seal and gave them to the
police.
Alice Japp, a nurse who had charge
of the Maybrick children, was next ex-
amined. She produced letter, which
was addressed to man named Briefly,
in Liverpool, and which given to wit
ness to post by Mr.. May brick, the pris-
oner. While on her way to do this.
witness dropped the letter in the mud.
The envelope was SOiled, and witness
opened the letter with the intention of
placing it in another envelope. In
doing this, she noticed that the letter
contained a number of
ENDEARING WORDS.
The following sentences particularly
attracted her attracted her attention:
Dearest, my husband is sick unto
strength can hold out. Darling, relieve
your mind of all fear of discovery. now
or in the future. In any case do not
leave England until l see you once
again." Witness, instead of posting the
letter, gave it to Edwin Maybrick.
After Mr.. Maybrick died wit
ness found in the linen closet a
chocolate box rolled up in sheet.
The box belonged to Mrs. Maybrick and
contained a package of powder labeled
"Poison." Evidence was given to the
effect that Mrs. Maybrick bought a
quantity of arsenical fly papers, and
that she apparently tampered with the
patients food and medicines. On one
occasion the deceased reproached his
wife. saying: 'How could you do it?'
Other witnesses testified to the wife's
hatred of the deceased and to her threat
ening to give it to him hot for publicly
upbraiding her.
