z The noise Of the pistol shots ringing out clear
and sharp at that time of night and In that

When the physicians who were hastily sum-
moned arrived at the house they turned all
their attention to caring for the injured woman

covered the fact that she had received three
wounds. all in the abdomen. One bullet en-
tered just below the navel. a second pierced
the right side and third on the left, all three
passing through the intestines.

tracted the bullets. An operation was per-
formed by DIR. j. Ford Thompson, and the
lacerated intestines were stitched and dressed.

Immediately after firing the fatal shots
Schneider turned and ran away into the dark
ness. He went at once to the third precinct
station on street between Goth and 21st
streets. As he walked into the station house
he remarked calmly:
I've just shot my brother-in-law in self
He was asked to explain, but only repeated
his first statement, adding that the shooting
had occurred on Q street. He gave his name
as Howard ]. Schneider and said he was an
electrician,
When he was searched it was found that he
mad S65 and some keys and n knife in his
pocket. His brother, I. +. Schneider, called
at the station later and was permitted to talk
with him in the presence Of Sergt. Myers. The
young man insisted that he had fired the shots
in self-defense.

doubt that there were five shots fired. Three
bullets entered the body of Mrs Schneider,
one entered the breast Of Hamlink, while the
nth struck the bay-window Of tho Hamlink
residence and ploughed through into the oppo-
site wall of the parlor.
