Galveston, Texas, June i7.-Today, az
far M can be learned. has brought forth
no new developments In the Schroeder
case. Yesterday evening after giving
bond, Schroeder after much solicitation
was Induced to enter q carriage with his
bondsman, Thomas w. Jackson, and was
supposedly taken to his house, where he
has remained In quiet seclusion all
through the day. Schroeder ever since
his arrest has shrank from having any
communication with anyone but his at
tornoys. and when his bond was executed
last evening and he was free to 20 where
he pleased, he pleaded almost piteonsly
to be allowed to remaln in the private
onlce OF the chief OF police. He seemed
to be averse to the idea Of going home to
his wife and child or anywhere else. He
was. however, finally persuaded by his
attorneys and Mr. Jackson to go home
and remain there in perfect quiet for a
few days. He is completely unstrung by
the disaster that has come upon him.
