LIKE THE SCHNEIDER CASE,
A Drunken Hyattsville Printer Assaults tn
Wife Who Had Left Him.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
HYATTsvILLE, Nd, May 13.-George McFar-
land, printer formerly employed in the gov
eminent printing Office, went to the home of his
father-in-law, A. R. Fowler Of this place, while
drunk last night and assaulted his wife, who had
gone there to live. Her father and Mcfarland
brother Archie put George out Of the house with
considerable violence. News of the affair spread
through the village and considerable excitement
was created. This was increased when McFar-
land resisted the efforts of Deputy Sheriff OAR
nall to arrest him. Five hundred residents Of
the two villages gathered about Justice Hurley's
office in Bladensburg. where Mcfarland was
committed to the county Jail. The prisoner
didn't seem to care, and while handcuffed
danced a jig to the music Of Capt Hszen's
fiddle.
Some time ago McFarland's wifes father
caused q separation between his daughter and
her husband and had his daughter return home
After that Mcfarland saw his wife at inter-
walls. but there was no trouble between them
until last nighs
Mcfarland Was drinking in Bladensburg yes
terday afternoon. Soon afterward he procured
shotgun, and returning to Main street in
Bladensburg he gave the natives TO understand
that he owned the town, and in substantiation
Of his remarks discharged the weapon.
When he went to his wife's home in Hyatts-
vile and assaulted her he was armed with
hickory club. When Mr.. Fowler went to his
daughters assistance the Infatuated printer at
tempted to use the club on him.
Mr.. Fowler and his daughter left the house
and sought protection in the grocery store Of
Mr. George Use. Meanwhile Mcfarland re-
gained possession of the shotgun and went to
the store, where he used abusive and threaten
ing language, but no further violence was COM
mit.ed.

Efforts to Induce Gov. Flower to Reprie'
the Condemned Man.

Euorte 90 Induce Gov. Flower to Repfteve
the Condemned Man.
ALBANY, MY, May 13-Gov. Flower this
morning gave hearing in the case Of Henry c.
Tanning, convicted of murder and sentenced to
be executed at Sing Sing Mon
day next. The array Of people pres
ent was quite imposing, many women
being among those who occupied seats Fan
ning's mother, father and wife were present and
a pretty little child of the prisoner sat on its
grandfather g lap. Among the others present
were n number of ministers.
Deputy District Attorney WEIGH said the trial
had been unfair.
Affidavits of several criminal LAWYERS were
presented to show that the man who defended
Tanning was incompetent. petition was pre-
sented from the members and officers Of the ninth
regiment and one from many citizens of Utica,
asking for the reprieve. The governor said he
would not settle the matter until tomorrow. but
1t is believed that his decision will be favorable
to the convicted man.
The prime mover in the attempt to save the
life OF Tanning is Mrs. Harriet G. Rae Of
Utica, to whose school both Tanning and Law
yer Schmann once went, though ut different
times. She has, unaided, raised the money
necessary to pay the expense. The law
yers are working without compensation.
They are in daily consultation with Fanning's
father, who was once prosperous merchant,
put Is now III very greatly reduced circumstances.
Fannings alleged victim was his mistress. The
murder occurred in New York city in April
1891.
d SENTENCE COMMITTED.
Later.-Gov. Flower has committed to I'M
prisonment for life the sentence of Henry c.
Tanning, who was to have been electrocuted at
Sing Sing prison during the week commencing
