WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-Amy Hamlink schnei-

noon after nearly weeks intense suffering.
She aud Ter brother were shot last Sunday
night. while on their way to church. BY her
husband. from whom she had separated.
Young Hamllnk was instantly killed. but Mrs.
Schneider. with three bullet wounds in the
abdomen. lived almost week. Her case is
one Of the most remarkable on record. In her
last hours she had intervals OF consciousness.
and her mind remained clear and unclouded
almost to the last. She was thought to be
dying early this morning. Her body be-
camo cold and she was unconscious.
She rallied. however. appeared to be
stronger. and conversed freely with those
about her bedside. She realized that she
was dying. and as tho members Of the family
gathered about her bedside she repeated the
Lords prayer. Then she sang Rock OF
Ages" and Nearer. My God. to Thee" sus-
tanning the tune with power that seemed
wonderful to those who listened. The strength
which had sustained her gradually faded
away. She relapsed into an unconscious con-
