In June, 1852, on a trip which lasted about two
months He complained of great pain in his
head. often saying that electricity was coming
| out OF his head. In lS65 the farm in MARYLAND
| was purchased and about year later Howard
was born. During the year the locusts were here
her brother filed a room with dead ones md
brought about half a bushel of them into the
city. Since 1861 her brother had done no bust
ness whatever, his wife attending TO all such
matters. Since then the family had considered
him TO be out of his mind. At the present time
he was quiet, but took little, if any interest in
current affairs.
INSANITY NOT HEREDITARY IN THE FAMILY
Examined by the district attorney, Mrs
Rheem said the family believed that the loss Of
her brothers mind was due not to the car
buncle, but to inhsling the fumes from the
crucibles. While he would become violent.
they were never afraid of him IL never
occurred to them that he should be restrained,
and nothing was ever done looking TO that end
She remembered her brother having but
one violent spell while on the farm
at time when he one OF his children cry
ing. Howard was born while they lived on the
farm, and after that twins-Maud and MAY
were born. DIR. aagruder never suggested
that her brother was insane but said that be
would never be well. Witness never heard of
insanity being in the family before her brother
Gottlieb's mind became disordered Insanity
was not hereditary in the family, according to
the family history, which ran back for more
than 300 years
MISS LOUISA SCHNEIDER.
Miss Louisa Schneider, a sister of the pre-
ceding witness. next took the stand and cor
roborated the testimony of her sister as to her
brothers habits and life, and also as to his sick
ness and the change in his mind. His strange
looks were more noticeable than his language
when he became excited, and be would
even accuse the family of irving TO
lnlure him. Witness took him on the
trip in 1862. They went to New
York, Saratoga, Niagara Falls and through the
west. DR.. Magruder did not saw that he was
insane. but said that he could never be cured.
Howard parents moved to the farm in the fall
of 1865 and he was born the following March.
Since the change in her brothers mind he had
never attended TO any business and never car
RED cent OF money in his pocket She had
never known of her brother having a
violent spell on the farm. except when he OBJ
served his child crying. His present condition
is that of a child. He talks calmly. and loves
to refer to and talk of old times. Some time
ago-two or three wears ago-he started out and
got lost. He Is rarely seen now and seldom
goes out
NOT INSANE, But CHILDISH.
Being cross-examincd Miss Schneider said
she did not consider her brother to be insane
row or at any other time, simply childish. No
physician had ever told the family that her
brother was insane. The district attorney asked
Miss Schneider but few questions and Mr.
Wilson next examined Mr.. John A. Rheem, the
husband of tie prisoners aunt.
MR.. JOHN RHEEM
Mr.. Rheem said the change in the mind OF
the prisoners father was a complete reyolu-

SCHNEIDER'S SANITY.
Commencement Of the Inquiry by
Justices Bingham and Hagner.
WITH E S SES EX ED.

Relatives Of the Prisoner Testify to What
They Consider the Unbalanced Mind of
His Father-The Jail Acting Hospital
Steward Tells Of the Prisoners Actions.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1893-02-01

Chief Justice Bingham stated that the defense
should first present their witnesses. and
the first witness called was Dr. r. B. Donald
son, a dentist Of this city. who testified that
he had lived here for fifty years and had known
the father of the prisoner since about 1913.
He was quite intimate with the prisoner
father from that time until 1862 or 1868. He
worked in his brass factory for some months.
Mr.. Schneider senior was an industrious con-
scientious man, of perfectly sound mind
About 1868 witness noticed quite a change in
Mr.. Schneider's condition, as a result, witness
learned, OF sickness occasioned by car
buncle Oh his neck, which nearly caused his
death. After this sickness Mr. Schneider
seemed to be an entirely changed man. He
had little If anything to say to any one. Since
1868 witness had seen Mr.. Schneider bat few
times; had little to say to him and never noticed
any particular outburst on his part.
CONSTRAINED By Mr.. COLE
On cross-examination by District Attorney
Cole, DR.. Donaldson said he could not remem-
Der the particulars of the conversation with
Mr.. Schneider after his sickness which led him
to believe that his mind had become impaired.
1t was from Mr.. Schneider's action that witness
came to the conclusion. Witness met Mr.
Schneider about three years ago, when Mr..
Schneider called him by name, spoke intelli-

The First Daudelion.

From the Boston TRANSCRIPT.
To find the dandelion in early spring is almost
as great delight as to pluck rosa in June.
The first one comes as a surprise, and we ex-
claim with pleasure while picking and placing
it in our button hole. 1t is powerful and con-
vincing prophet of spring, an advanced guard
Of that great army of wild flowers which bios
som along every wayside and through every
pasture and field. making the country gay
with their bright colors throughout the vernal
year. The dandelion, in particular, becomes
very soon so common sight that We give little
heed to the splendor OF its color o. the SYM
metry Of its form; yet how much beauty has
prodigal nature lsvished upon this wildling OF
the footpath, and how carefully would it be
cherished in costly green houses were it not
sufficiently hardy and enterprising to take ex-
cellent care of itself?
should a pot OF carefully grown specimens be
exhibited in some capital where the flower il
not familsr-if such place there be-what a
furore would be created among flower lovers.
Just how il would impress them cannot per-
haps be well imagined. but our own feelings
when the forerunners Of this golden company
first reach us in the month Of rain and chilling
winds may perhaps furnish . hint to the
curious.

Dead Among Her Presents.

Miss Gizzella sikay Of Bridgeport. Conn.,.
sixteen years old, fine musician and general
favorite in society. who on Wednesday morn
ing would have been bride, fell dead Monday
afternoon among her wedding presents. Every
arrangement for her marriage with Henry
Colioper had been completed. Miss Sikay had
just been trying on the dress which she WAS to
wear while the ceremony was being performed.
and displaying an opal pin with which it was
intended the veil should be Caught back, re-
marked to her bridesmaids:
Some girls think opals bring i'll luck. am
sure this will bring Henry and me nothing but
happiness"
She deposited the pin in its case and turned
to rearrange the display of wedding gifts. when
the muscles OF her face contracted and she was
seized with aconvulsion, during which she sank
to the floor unconscious. Her heart ceased to
beat in forty minutes. The physicians said
death was from an organic disease of the heart
and resulted beyond doubt from the excite
ment Of preparing for her marriage. The girl
Was previously in robust health and the
catastrophe was entirely unexpected.
