fused and denied TO your murdered wife,"
Immediately after the sentence Was pro-
nounced Schneider was hurried to the cage
below, and the crowd in tho court
room began to leave, when Judge
Bradley sharply raped for order and said
''These people have come here to satisfy theis
idle curiosity and they must stay here quietly
until the court sdjourns the cass."
sIxrY DAYS IN WHICH TO FILE EXCEPTIONS.
Judge Wilson then asked for ninety days in
which to prepare the bill Of exceptions, but at
the suggestion os the district attor ney the court
6xed sixty days as the period. The case was
then dismissed for the present instance, the
impatient, noisy throng left tho court room.
After some arraignmen:s had been had
Schneider was driven of to Jail in the van with
several other prisoners amid the hooting o!
a tremendous crowd, which had gathered
about the court house door.
ON The WAY TO raR JAIL.
On the way to the Jail Schneider asked Mr..
Springman, the officer Of the van, what the
judge had done with the case. He sen.
fenced you to be hung" answered Mr..
Springman; "but that does not deprive you.
counsel Of any right to take an appeal. II had
to be DONE" Schneider then conversed a. to
some patent blind springs.

reporter, said he did not care to discuss the
matter particularly, but he supposed it wai

inquired the reporter.
He was simply trying to play the crazy

to strike his own counsel or some disinter

more in the line of insanity
but for him to attempt to strike me was per
