A Self Confessed Murderer Gets SecOn
Degree Verdict.

Degree Verdict.
GREENvnLE, o., Nov. 24.-The sec.
ond trial of G. Oelschlager for the mur.
der of Mrs. Charlotte Leis closed Satur.
day evening, and the jury returned a
verdict of murder in the second degre9
Sunday morning.
This was the most brutal crime ever
perpetrated i'll this county. Oelschlager
was a son-in-law of the murdere 1
woman. His wife, an invalid, had left
him, and was home with her parents be.
cause of abuse and fear of him. Gel
schlager owned a little piece of land,
and wanted to sell it. His wife, through
advice of her mother, refused to sign
the deed claiming the property as her
own. He blamed Mrs. Leis for his wife's
refusal, and swore vengeance. On the
night of the 9Th of January last he went
to the Leis home, and found Mr.. and
Mrs. Leis and their daughter, Oel-
schlager's wife, at supper. He at once
renewed the deed question, and Mrs.
Leig again defended her daughter, and
refused to allow her to sign the deed.
This so enraged the desperate man that
he grappled with the aged lady. The
daughter, her little girl and old man
Leis left the house, the daughter and
child in fear, the father to call help.
Oelschlager drew a knife from his
pocket and put out the lamp, and liter
ally slashed the old lady to pieces,
plunging the knife into her body twenty
seven times. The poor woman was left
struggling alone in the dark with the
desperate; no help was neaT, and the in
human wretch completed his bloody
work unmolested, never ceasing his
dreadful carnage until his victim lay
lifeless at his feet. The poor old woman,
who seemed alone in the determination
to battle this man in his purpose as to
the property, and who stood between her
daughter and his meanness, had to final
" lose her life at his hands.
Oelschlager was convicted in the first
degree at the first trial last March, and
was sentenced to be hanged Aug. Z. The
case was carried to the circuit court on
error. and new trial granted. People
are amazed at the verdict, because of
the atrociousness of the crime and the
prisoner himself confessing his guilt.

NEW YORK, Nov. PA young Amer.
ican who has been living in Santiago
and Valparaiso, writes a graphic letter
describing scenes which she witnessed
during the revolution.
Referring to the treatment Of the de-
feated leaders of the Balmaceda forces,
the writer says:
Il saw that mob fight for bone, a
piece of flesh, hand anything out of
that cart, and six of the officers of the
opposition looked on and smiled, and
they kept that cart around in open view
for five days before they threw the
bodies into the sea.
"What had these generals donep Moth
ing but rem'in loyal to the government
and lead the armies after the oppositi n
first attacked. They killed them,
stripped them, cut them in pieces and
drew them around Valparaiso. Women
mothers with their aughters-looked
ON and said: Well done; so is the ven
geance of the constitutional party. Let
them catch Balmaceda and make roast
of him.

''On the morning of the 2Sth the final
battle Of Pllcilla came, and the firing
for an hour and a half was dreadful.
Suddenly ceased entirely and twenty
minutes laler the remnants of artillery
dashed by as though the devil was after
them.
About noon the opposition came ~,
and the struggle began. All the church
bells and fire bells rang madly. The
whole population turned out to receive
them, all with red ribbons or badges
Never was town 50 willing to be taken
Ladies pulled the officers from their
horses and hugged and kissed them.
"At night the city was a pande-
monium. We went up on the roof,
where they were signaling with electric
lights to tlJ admiral on board. Next
morning they found in various parts of
the city dead 900 men, women and chill
dren.
"The man-of-war Leipsig sent men
ashore to guard, as did also her majes-
TVS ship Champion and the French
frigate Champlain.
"A week ago today we returned to
Santiago, and about an hour after we
arrived they came and shut us up in our
house until dark. Mr. Hillman was out,
but suddenly we had the bright idea of
telephoning to Mr.. Egan, and so we got
help.
After each battle the government
wounded were all killed. On Monday,
they remembered their wounded, and
some soldiers were sent out to bring
them in and bury the dead. At one time
there were 1000 wounded in Valparaiso.
They piled up the dead after stealing
their clothes and arEns in piles of tfly
each, poured kerosene over them ard
burned them. At first they dug wells,
very deep, and pitched the bodies in
headlong but even this was too much
work, so they did the ether"

Biographical.
General Alvin Paterson Hovey was
native and resident of Posey county This
county became celebrated, early in the
century by the foundation of the Rappites
Communist } at New Harmony. In due
time their society run out" and Robert
Owen and his Scotch Lanarkers succeeded
They failed, of course; but Indiana gained
the talents of Robert Dale Owen and his
brother, the noted geologist, and New
Harmony is still place of curious inter
est
Alvin p, Hovey was born ON the Ohio
river side of the county, and his boyhood
was spent In Mount Vernon, the county
seat. His youth was one of poverty, and

mitted to the bar in 1S43 at the age of

Indiana cons .itutional convention of 1889,
and circuit judge Of the Third judicial

of the supreme court of the state for
term. From 1856 to 1858 he was United
States district attorney for Indiana. Soon
after came the war and he entered the
service early as colonel of the Twenty
fourth Indiana volunteers.
His military career was remarkably
brilliant, and his services in the Aeld were
quite equaled by his ability as civil ad-
ministrator Of districts in which he held
command. His ready application Of the
principals of law to the exigencies of the
military situation were of immense ad-
vantage to the government. April 2S,
1862, he was appointed brigadicr general
of volunteers and in the Vicksburg cam
paign Of 1868 he won high honors. Gen
eral Grant credits him with the success at
Champion Hill The next year he was
brevetted major general for distinguished
services. In 1885 he retired from the
army, and was appointed minister to
Peru, which place he resigned in 1870
In 1886 he was elected to congress as (
Republican In 1888 he was elected GOV /!
ernor Of Indiana. He was about seventy
years Of age,
