READING THE DEATH WARRANT.
The warden entered the corridor at twenty
minutes to II to read the death warrant
He interrupted the services which wert
being conducted BY Rev. Mr.. Parson. He
stood at the head of the cot. Schneider looked
up in a dazed, dreemful way, as if he did moi
fully appreciate the awful doom approaching
The warden removed his hat and said
Howard, as warden of the United States Jail
1t becomes my duty to read to you this death
warrant"
He then took the official paper from
his breast pocket and commenced to read
when he arrived at that portion reading
Hanged by the neck until dead Schneider
bowed his head quickly and allowed the
warden and his assistants to adjust the moose
and pinion his arms. Meanwhile Mr.. Parson
was speaking words of consolation. Then the
scene in the cell was closed.
THE PRISONER WALKED FIRMLY.
At 10:4O the warden and his assistants came
out Of the cell and passed into the rotunda.
The prisoner walked firmly with an officer
on either side. Rev. Mr.. Parson walked behind
him.
As soon as they passed into the rotunds the
police first, and then the others present, fell in
behind him.
The distance across the stone paved rotunda
was quickly traversed and the crowd swarmed
down behind the condemned man into the
gloomy court of death.
As they passed down the court toward the
Stafford Schneider walked almost without
a tremor. His face was Of leaden color,
ashy in its paleness, but his two hands, which
were bound behind his back, seemed not to
tremble in the slightest.

AuciOents Oh the 4'OUDie sragedv-HiS Trial
and Efforts to Save His Life.
The crime for committing which Schneider
forfeited his life today on the scaffold was the
murder of his wife. Amanda N. Schneider. by
shooting her. The shooting was done on Sun
day evening, the 3lst of January, 1892, death
resulting a few minutes before o'clock the
following Saturdae afternoon. At the same
time that he shot his wife Schneider also shot
her brother. Frank Hamlink. a young man Of
twenty-one years Of age. killing him almost
instantly. The double tragedy shocked the
community as much as any crime ever COM
mitted in this District, and it and the trial. to-
gether with all the proceedings incidental and
subsequent to it, aroused the interest of the
people as no other tragedy and trial have. with
perhaps the exception of the shooting of Presi-

trial and execution. The murdered wife was
a young girl Of twenty-five, handsome refined

HIS coUsTsE1P AND MARRIAGE.

The latter part OF April. 1891. Howard J.
Schneider became acquainted with the gentle
girl who less than two months later became his
wife. He lived at that time with his family at
lI39 2 st-ees northwest and she. who was af-
fectlonatelv known as Annie" Ham,ink
resided with her parents al 1888 Q street. The
acquaintance of the young people soon
developed into strong friendship and later
into more tender and stronger feeling They
visited places of amusement together and
Annie accompanied her admirer on drives
about the city and into the adjoining country.
On the evening of June 2. following one OF
these drives, Miss Hamlink was taken to Hyatts-
vile, Nd. Schneider produced marriage
license and asked the girl to marry him then
and there. Naturally the girl refused.
Schneider implored and insisted. and the
startled girl still refusing, he pulled u revolver
from his pocket and told the girl that unless
she married him then and there he would blow
his brains out. The effect of this threat caused
the frightened girl to reluctantly consent, and
the couple were married a few minutes later in
Hyattsville by minister whose name, as given
on the witness stand by Schneider, was Ander-
son.
THE MARRIAGE MADE KNOWN.
The young people kept the marriage a secret
until the Sd or 4th of the following month.
when the young wife informed her sister.
Jennie Hamlink. of it. Among other reasons
given by Schneider for insisting on hasty q
marriage was his belief that, having shot col
ored man few months previously. and being
under indictment for the offense, the girl might
be caused to change her opinion Of him after
his trial Until about tine Goth of the follow
ing October Miss Jennie Hamlink remained the
only member Of either family who knew Of tine
marriage. Then Mrs. Hamlink learned Of the
score. marriage, her husband first hearing of it
four days later.
arnp~<v
Schneider and his wife, who had not been
living together as man and wife, that evening
attended the theater. On their return to the
home Of Mrs. Schneider they entered the house
and there met her father and brother. The
elder Mr.. Hamlink questioned Schneider con-
corning their secret marriage, and also his
daughter, and asked them to explain the cir
cumstances Of it Quite an exciting scene oc-

the Indians of Salobozo, on the Oronoco,
In catching the gymnotus, the most
powerful of all the species OF electric
cells, Is perhaps the strnngest
AS everyone knows, the electric eel
protects itself and catches its prey by
means OF an electric discharge which
for the time being benumbs any living
organism with which Il comes into
contact. III the fish Is forced TO keep
these discharges up for any length Of
time II becomes completely exhausted
and helpless, and IL is this fact that the
Indians take advantage in hunting the
gymnotus with their half-wild horses
and mules.
Having found portion OF water
along the marshy banks Of the river
where tho cells are congregated, they
drive their terrified animals into the
water, and then begins struggle
which most Europeans find little too
much for their nerves the first time
they see H.
On the banks and i'm the shallow
water the Indians jump about and
howl, brandishing long canes and har-
poons, and driving the animals back
whenever they attempt TO leave the
water
The cells, meanwhile, reused TO fury
by the disturbance, attack the poor be-
wildered beasts with repeated dis
charges of their batteries until they
are nearly mad with fright and pain
Sometimes the horses and mules, and
especially the latter, sink under the
force OF the discharges and are only
with difficulty saved from drowning
Sometimes in their terror they will
attack each other with their teeth and
bite ferccly until the shocks overcome
them. Meanwhile the cells, looking like
great yellow, livid water serpcnts,
writhe along the surface of the water.

strange intuition seeking out the most

tion 10 one horse, and, by constantly
directing its discharge at the heart, To
benumb and drown it within five min

In abouut quarter of an hour the
struggle is over and the cells are van
quished. The animals lose their tor
ror and the fish, instead sof attacking
as before, now shun the invaders Of
their territory and make for the BANKS
