SCHNEIDER EXECUTED.
MURDERER or MS WIFE AND HER
BROTHER ExPIATES TIE CRIME.
No Sensational Scene at the Scsnold as was
EIpected-History OF the Afro
clous Crime.

| WASHINGTON, d. c., March l7-How-
| ard Jefferd Schneider was hanged at lV'o-
this morning in the District jail In the
| outskirts OF the city for the murder Oh
his wife on January 81. 1892. He was IN
| dicted also for the murder OF her young
brother at the same time and place but
this case was not brought to trial.
The procession to the scaffold was
small one First came the warden IL the
Jail. Beside him walked Robert Strong
the guard, who adjusted the rope about
Sohncider's neck, and who performed the
same service for Guiteau. Then came
Schneider. Staggering and supported on
either side by one Of the guards Of the
jdil. Then came the minister, followed by
two guards. There was but brief del1y
when the scaffOld was reached. There
was q brief prayer, the signal was gwen
tie drop fell and Schneider, with the
rope about his neck, fell half a dozen feet
and All was over.
TN. double murder which led Howard
Schneider 20 the calloWs was one OF the
most sensational crimes in the history OF
the District Of Columbia. BY reason OF
the previous responsibility or the MUIR
dcrer. the standing and wealth OF his
relatives and the unremittng efforts OF ms
counsel and friends to save him from the
gallOws, the case attracted Widespread
interest. In many Of its surrounding cir
cumstances the case recalled that OF Gui-
teau. one OF the judges who partici-
pated in the trial Of the case Judge Cox
was the same that tried Guiteau; the
plea of insanity was set up in Schneider's
case as in Guiteau's, and the principal
expert on the part Of the Government
In both cases was the same-Dr. Melon
aid
The tragedy enacted was in the most
aristocratic and quiet residence section
Of Washington. and occurred just at dark
on Sunday evening. the last day Of Janu-
airy. 1892. The victims were Amanda Ham
link Schneider, his young wife, and her
brother, Frank Hamlink They were the
son and daughter Of Derrick i. Hamlink.
a retired business man Of this city, and
1t was almost in front Of the fathers
house that they met their assassination on
the public street Because OF his general
worthlessness and vicious prOpensities
the young Wife had separated from her
husband and the latter resorted TO the
pistol for revenge.
There is general conviction that
Schneider has been shamming insanity
for many months His actions at the
last moments indicated that his mind
was perfectly clear. During Schneid RS
last hour upon earth Rev. Mr.. Pars)n
and the colored evangelist Roberts
were with him Roberts sang a hymn
Jesus. Save Me" and endeavOred TO have
Schneider repeat the words after him.
his efforts being crowned with some
measure Of success The two men prayed
earnestly and exhortcd him in stirring
words, but to the end their advaIces
were met in only haf-hearted manner
Schneider went 10 his doom as he had
lived for the past year-apparently OBJ
Iivious OF the past and reckless OF the
future.
