Today's Proceedings
The eighteenth day of the Schneider murder
trial was begun with the largest crowd yet
seen clamoring for admission, and as has been
the case on almost every day Of the trial the
ladies outnumbered the men two or three to
one. Marshal Ransdell, however, would admit
only such number Of ladies as could be seated
without encrcaching too much on the space
allotted to members of the bar. and the result
was that more than three-fourths who sought
admission were turned away. They refused to
leave the building, however, and formed them
selves In two lines leading to the door of the
conrt room that they might be sure of admis-
sion after recess. Very few of the men were
allowed to take seats the greater part of them
being compelled to stand back Of the railing
behind the bar.

If he knew a young man named Chas. F. Bry-

he did or not. Witness denied stating to VIM.
W. Mccullough that Frank Hamlink was lying
on his face when first seen by him. He had a
conversation with Philip Roder the day of the
lnquest-a general conversation. He never
said to Rodier that when witness got to young
Hamlink he was lying on his face and that he
lifted him up and found the pistol under his
body. He talked with Newton Hamlink and a
young man with him during the week of the
shooting, but did not tell them that he found
the pistol about yard from young Hamlink 8
body. He never said such thing to Officer
